Boosie discussed the evolution of rap music, reflecting on the shift towards image over true lyrical skill. Drawing attention to the stark difference in reception between traditional, skill-heavy 90s rappers versus contemporary artists, the artist questioned the influence of shock value and aesthetic appeal in modern rap. He acknowledged the success of artists like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, who, in his opinion, balance lyrical ability with a sensational image. However, Boosie also pointed out a trend of visually appealing artists who lack authentic rap skills and rely heavily on lip-synching during performances. He suggested that the rise of these artists reflects a shift in audience preference, prioritizing image and performance over lyrical dexterity. Despite this shift, Boosie recognized artists' ability to leverage the changing landscape for successful careers.
