Spaceghostpurrp not quitting rap game, after all
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 23 October 2012
Remember that time 4AD-signed trillwave-ist Spaceghostpurrp all but said he was sick of the “shady ass rap game”? Well, he now says he isn’t, and shame on anyone whoever implied that he was.
It all began with a disenfranchised Facebook post earlier this month in which the Miami MC said things like “I won’t be doing this shit no more, I learned a lot about this shady ass rap game” and “it’s like monkey see monkey do, and I’m not that type of dude”. To many, this meant he’d be withdrawing from said shady ass rap game, maybe to take a lower-key collaborative role with his Raider Klan collective.
But Purrp has since shared a further post ‘clarifying’ his real stance, and writes: “I ain’t retiring, I’m just stayin true to my people. Don’t believe dem false rumours, if they ain’t got proof or evidence then it’s quite and to my fans”.
Perplexed? Yeah, so am I. But I guess what we can take from this is that while the rap game may be “shady ass”, it’s apparently not intolerably so.
