When people hear the name Eric Andre, they're usually thinking about his work in the comedy world, and not what he thinks about hip hop's responsibility to promote certain messages. But Andre is quite at home talking rap music, and has regularly invited rappers like ASAP Rocky and T.I. to be guests on The Eric Andre Show.
So keep that in mind when reading critique he has of some up-and-coming rappers. Andre went on an extended rant on his Twitter account over the weekend, spotlighting what he believes is a disturbing trend in hip-hop. He spotlighted Kodak Black and XXXTentacion specifically as two artists who he regularly saw covered by hip-hop outlets, despite their well-documented issues away from the studio.
