Buck 65 Is Embarrassed With State Of Hip Hop

Andrew Mayer of the Toronto Eye spoke with Canadian hip hop artist Buck 65, who seems disgusted with the bling bling state of the genre. “I’m embarrassed by the association, a lot of times,” says the artist otherwise known as Rich Terfry. “When I go through customs, or I’m in a taxi, and people ask what I do, I tell them, ‘I’m a musician.’ When they ask, ‘What kind of music do you make?’ I avoid it altogether by lying and saying ‘I’m a jazz xylophone player.'”
