RZA is worried about darkness looming over the rap game.

“We’ve lost more hip-hop artists in the last few years than ever before,” the Wu-Tang Clan leader said in an interview with the Financial Times. “Growing up in the golden age of hip-hop, we lost maybe like a couple of artists, but not a dozen artists or more.”

RZA called into questions the things that rappers can sometimes focus on.

“Sometimes hip-hop music glamorizes certain things. It glamorizes prison life, it glamorizes gangsters and thugs. I understand that, because I grew out of that,” he said. “But it doesn’t give you the total tragedy of what that can end up being, nor are we being represented with a lot of alternatives.”

RZA is preparing to drop the collaborative album Saturday Afternoon Kung Fu Theater with DJ Scratch. The album is due on March 4.
