RUSSELL SIMMONS SAYS HIP-HOP IS NOT DEAD, ‘IT IS ALWAYS EVOLVING’
@unclerush
The Def Jam founder was at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Oct. 18 for the Spirit of Life Gala one-time-only version of DJ Cassidy‘s “Pass the Mic Live!” that honored fellow hip-hop mogul and entrepreneur Lyor Cohen.
It was an event Simmons couldn’t miss as he flew from Bali to watch many hip-hop legends, some of whom he discovered and developed at Def Jam, honor an executive who built the start of his music career working on Simmons’ groundbreaking label.
All of the performers did “really good,” according to Simmons, and proved that no matter how old they get, they “still got it.”
When asked about ongoing music debates claiming that the current state of hip-hop is “trash” compared to earlier years, Simmons shut down that notion.
The hip-hop mogul recalls his start in the industry back in the late 70s and notes the art form’s evolution over the last 50 years.
“For 50 years it’s been evolving and it goes in moments where it grows and it’s going to keep growing.
