Pete Rock cemented his place in hip hop history with his production work.

Now, he's sounding a warning on the direction of the genre.

The 53-year old jumped on Instagram and explained what has gone wrong with the rap game.

"They should change the music too WTF tryna create a narrative that ain't working.  Pile driving the culture straight in the ground.  We created real history! idk what da hell they creating today but it damn sure aint history or hip hop thas a fact.  We lost our integrity chasing the money," he typed.  "The bas as they say has become the problem and the focus point in the culture.  Make it corny when yall make it about money smh."

Is this truth or an old man yelling at a cloud?
