In case you didn’t know Styles P isn’t just an OG in the streets but he’s also an OG in the Hip-Hop game. The Ghost of the legendary rap trio The Lox is the definition of grinding and as he now prepares to drop his 9th project, G-Host, Styles is making the media rounds to let everyone know he’s back with the heat.
Checking in with The Breakfast Club, a wiser and healthier Holiday Styles talks up a storm with Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee and reveals that he’s become more fond of home than the road, why he won’t include Jadakiss and Sheek Louch on his projects, and who he thinks is the only rapper better than him.
Here are the 9 things we learned from Styles P on The Breakfast Club.
1. Homebody
Though Styles says he still enjoys going on tour and meeting people from all walks of life, he prefers to be at home with his family, his own TV remote, and his own bed. That’s grown man talk right there. His love for home will also come in handy now that he and his wife are going to be featured on the OWN TV series Black Love.
2. PETA
Styles supports PETA and loves what they’re doing for animal rights but wishes they’d use their platform (which reaches millions) to also promote human rights.
3. Family Business
Interestingly enough Style’s P son has produced some cuts for his last few projects, Nickle Back and G-Host. His son also said this generation of Hip-Hoppers bop side-to-side while Style’s generation bopped up and down. Wow we feel old now.
4. Going Harder?
Even though he’s considered one of the most gangsta rappers in the game, Styles feels that he refrains himself from going really hard on his records. Word?! That’s like The Rock saying he can add more muscle to his superhero physical.
5. Spreading The Love
According to his building workers Styles P tips better than the millionaire neighbors he lives next to. When you understand the struggle you tend to be more sympathetic to the next man’s grind. People born into money not so much.
6. Label Drama
Styles P was upset that his last studio album got leaked. To make matters worse it happened not too long after his daughter died. Though he was upset at his label for that major hiccup, he has buried the hatchet and continued to work with them but won’t include any Lox features on his projects.
7. The Nicest
Aside from Jadakiss and Sheek Louch who he considers his equals and the OG legends of the game, Styles P feels that the only rapper nicer than him from his era was Notorious B.I.G.
8. Grateful
When he got put on to the rap game back in the 90’s, Styles P was fresh out of county pen for possession of a pistol with 12 armed robberies pending. That being the case everything he’s achieved in the rap game during his career is a “blessing” to Peniro.
9. Female Unity
Styles feels that Cardi B and Nicki Minaj (and female rappers in general) are missing huge opportunities by not working together to get that bag. He hopes sooner or later Cardi and Nicki squash whatever beef they have and get in the studio together.
