“Loon Reacts To 21 Savage ‘F The Streets’: ‘These Ain’t My OGs Blocking The Kids From Getting Out’”
Loon breaks down what he really heard when 21 Savage said “F the streets” — a young dude asking, “How much more you gonna give to something we already barely survived?”
In this segment, Loon talks about: – Why “F the streets” is about freeing people, not dissing the past – The Harriet Tubman analogy: once you escape, you’re supposed to send the route back – Old heads pretending they “don’t understand” the message while telling kids to stay in a burning building – Rappers making millions off cameras, podcasts and video games but still glorifying the trap for the youth – Why he tells his kids to watch their father, not worship rappers yelling “grab your strap” – Technology, cameras and Rico laws that will “whoop you every time” in 2025 and beyond – The OGs who gave 30–40 years to the streets, came home broke, and still get mad when somebody says there’s another route – How ego and Willie Lynch thinking stop powerful messengers from reaching the children
Loon makes it clear: “These ain’t my OGs… my OGs not blocking nobody from getting out.”

Haven’t listened to the Savage album.
I don’t think I ever will.
When he mentioned in that interview that he doesn’t care about rapping like that, it made me realize that he genuinely doesn’t take his art seriously.
So why should I?
@PUSHA_T’s quote comes to mind..
