Len Righi has written a feature on Detroit’s King Gordy for The Morning Call.
…Asked to describe his songwriting method, Gordy says, “I get the beat, smoke about 15 blunts - purple haze, white widow, whatever - then I vibe out, and when I’m done I have about 15 verses and a hook.”
And what is the major change in hip-hop since he entered the game?
“It’s gone from being the greatest genre lyrically to only being concerned with making poppy, simplistic chants, or the next dance song,” Gordy says. “You don’t have to be lyrically sweet, like you did in 1995, when Lords of the Underground or Biggie Smalls were rapping.”
