What can you say to this? Based on their paths, artistic caricatures and regional proximity, Hopsin and Tyler, The Creator butting heads was bound to happen. Cliques and talents aside, they’re essentially delivering the same product. Read the rest of this entry »
Even from the grave, ‘Pac still manages to make more yearly appearances than André 3000 and sounds more focused than the current ne’er-do-wells disguised as artists. On these two previously unheard songs, Pac takes aim at old enemies like Dr. Dre, Nas, Biggie, Bad Boy, De La Soul, Biggie, Mobb Deep, Jeru and more. Yes, all of them. Read the rest of this entry »
Keeping track of random tidbits of info happen to be what I do more than anything. Probably the only reason I’m remotely aware of Vybz Kartel and the ongoing skin-bleaching epidemic in Jamaica. Read the rest of this entry »
At this point, we deem it necessary to quote the lyrics of Nicki’s real shots in song dedicated to the artist formerly known as Lil Kim. Although the battle has been largely one-sided by Nicki adopting what I refer to as “the Biggie approach,” i.e. not responding thus essentially ignoring a pesky foe, La Bella Mafia gets put on timeout rather quickly in a matter of lines.

While Foxy’s Nicki Minaj weak, patois-infused diss fell on deaf ears yesterday, Lil Kim’s Friday follow-up does not. Honestly, I was fearful that whatever she tried to do would fall flat and Hammer herself but that’s far from the case as she tears into Nicki’s hindquarters something fierce (“If I whistle, they’ll pistol whip you in all five boros“).

“Soulja call it super-Lupe-lyrical./ You can’t understand me nor mimic my miracles.”
Folks are still debating whether Soulja Boy was really attacking The Cool with that “super-Lupe-Fiasco-lyrical” comment. Was it a diss? Read the rest of this entry »
“Roman’s Revenge” poses as Nicki’s potential Pink Friday peak point, composed of a high profile feature from Eminem and the long-awaited lyrical response to Lil Kim. It’s a far departure from her June BET Awards speech where she appeared to be taking the high road and plead for her feminine counterparts to stick together. Read the rest of this entry »

If you haven’t heard, MC Hammer is angry at Jay-Z for doing something truly heinous: dropping a few lines about Hammer’s bankruptcy. Apparently, mentioning a real-life event that happened 20 years ago is cause for aggression and exercise videos. Some say Hammer overreacted. Others don’t care. Read the rest of this entry »
Yeah, Nelly’s solo career will never again measure up to its previous milestones, but his character credibility remains pretty much unblemished. So when it’s his word vs. any other member of the St. Lunatics, who are you really going to believe? Read the rest of this entry »
“Kanye you a sucka n#gga/Dissed Dame, so my attitude is f#ck the n#gga/Stuck to Jigga. How you gon’ live with that? Took the beat, now come get it back.”
Bringing up old beef for no uncertain reasons? *Kanye shrug* This smells more like a lightweight ploy just to garner a bit of attention for whatever the Dips are cooking up. Or maybe Dame threw’em a bag of weed and two skinny white chicks in exchange for them helping to air out lingering resentment he still holds. Read the rest of this entry »
“Stop with those depressin’ *ss songs, it’s the summertime get some p#ssy and go home.”
Budden, you set yourself up for this. All the video blogging and Twittering. Built Tahiry up, only for her to downgrade you once you all separated. Got a new (used) chick who’s liable to do the same. Ultimately, you left yourself exposed and that’s not exactly safe for someone who I suspect is not wrapped too tight to begin.
Not to say that Lil B murked anything here or should even be taken seriously. I mean he’s in the f#ckin’ Pack for crying out loud. In fact, I’m still convinced that Lil B or anybody who subscribes to his music probably suffered a childhood tragedy like being socked by a kangaroo while on a school zoo trip. What I see is Mouse – one of my favorite lyrical bullies – has fallen so far off the mark that another man who calls himself a “pretty b*tch” feels totally safe in calling him out on wax. Or the internuts rather.
Whatever though, Joe. I lost faith in you several weak offerings ago when you proved that making a listenable album wasn’t in your arsenal of magic tricks. Letting off even a scathing mp3 won’t distract from the fact that you are now a Papoose award winner for not being able to rise above mixtapes. Don’t even bother responding to the track (and Basehead has since apologized anyways). I’d hate to see two emo rappers sissy-fighting. And when I think about it, the two of you have more in common than I realized when I started writing this, both having been snuffed on camera. Get PM Dawn to join in and softly sing, then the three of you might gain relevancy.
In a strange turn of events, Freddie Foxxx apologized for brawling with a fan @ SOBs last week. He might have a new adversary now though. Mega Montana has never been one to back down to a challenge and here he picks up the mic to send a few lines Freddie’s way in response to the shots sent @ by Bumpy previously.
“Freddie Foxxx wanna say he made me, that’s incorrect/That’s like Morris Day wanting praise for Prince success.”
It could get hectic, but let’s hope it all stays on wax.

Freeway was on Angela Yee’s Sirius show and threw his 2¢ in about Jay & Beans. What do we learn?
1. That Free’s wisely not going to take either side. Read the rest of this entry »
*Yawn*
Ain’t it too early for beef? Is anybody still paying attention?
AHH with the scoop for Beans’ latest verbal attack against Shawn Carter.
Philadelphia DJ Cosmic Kev debuted two brand new tracks by rapper Beanie Sigel tonight (November 21st) during his radio show on Power 99 FM. While the first track only contains one line about Jay-Z, the second track is sure to raise eye brows. On the second track, Sigel issued another harsh freestyle aimed at Jay-Z, this time dropping Read the rest of this entry »
While it took Beanie Sigel over a half-hour to convey his thoughts, Jay gives his assessment in under a minute. Cool Hand Luke never gets rattled. Read the rest of this entry »
