Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl revealed why terribly bad hip hop star Lil Pump has the punk rock/Grunge spirit in a new GQ interview.

“It depends how you define punk rock. You know who Lil Pump is? (describes Lil Peep) No. That was Lil Peep. Lil Pump is form the same genre, that slow-cooked emo hip hop thing. Anyway, he has a song called “Gucci Gang’. It’s hilarious, the video has tigers and bags of weed and blue Lamborghinis in it. Yet for my eldest daughter, Lil Pump is punk rock. In 2018, music doesn’t – and shouldn’t – sound like it did when I was 14. I guess for me punk rock is about a state of independence and if that’s Lil Pump then so be it. It’s about being free to do whatever the hell you want to do.”

In a February video interview at the BRIT Awards, Grohl revealed Lil Pump to be one of the musicians he can’t get enough of, and he’s even rapped a few of his songs.

Asked what he’s listening to at the moment by Jimmy Hill from Radio X’s sister station Capital FM, the Foos frontman replied: “Lil Pump. That’s all I gotta say. Lil Pump.”

“I’m not kidding man. I got sucked into Lil Pump’s world and I’m stuck. I can’t get out!”

“I’ve got Gucci Gang, I’ve got D-Rose. D-Rose is kind of my jam.”

He added: “Why can’t we write fucking songs like that?”

Grohl even rapped part of Lil Pump songs. Grohl rapped the lyrics, ‘I drive foreign cars, I fuck foreign bitches.’ He also rapped the lyrics, ‘Hundred on my wrist, eighty on my wrist.’

He also discussed seeing Haim at the Brit Awards. “Haim put on the heat, felt a little heat from the Haim. Thought maybe Haim would take it home. We live in the same neighborhood, San Fernando Valley.”
