In a video interview with HIpHopWired, Lil Yachty’s dad—a.k.a. Atlanta-based music photographer Shannon McCollum—got a chance to speak a bit about his son’s music and about the generational divide responsible for turning the 19-year-old into a lightning rod for arguments about the contemporary rap landscape.
The clip’s host, Maurice Garland introduces Yachty as the “most controversial, most polarizing” figure in rap, and the interview focuses pretty heavily off the controversy surrounding Yachty’s Breakfast Club appearance and subsequent admission that he’s not particularly familiar with the music of either Biggie or 2Pac.
