Sage Francis is an underground hip-hop legend from Providence, RI. In this clip, he breaks down why he believes modern hip-hop journalism has fallen below the standards of traditional journalism. He critiques the rise of rappers-turned-podcasters, arguing that conversation alone doesn’t equal journalism. While Sage says a formal journalism degree isn’t required, he admits he can’t point to many hip-hop platforms today that meet a high journalistic standard. He also shares his belief that VladTV prioritizes content farming in the current short-form era rather than true journalism.
