As good of a year as 2012 was for hip hop, there are many old school heads who have not accepted the changes in the game. Their reason for not accepting this new generation of old school was because Rakim was not involved. With the exception of a few old tracks, there was no new music from Rakim.

Many, in recent days, have come to Chief Keef’s defense, given his age and the fact of him being a product of this violence. Chief Keef is currently set to begin serving a two month stint behind bars.
