Here We Go Again! SMDH! Wayne Disses Hov...AGAIN!

Hip Hop has been known for its many feuds and bantering back and forth by Gotti rappers dissing each other in a plethora of rhymes.  These arrogant yet talented bunch of word play artists gain notariety and build wealth off the publicity garnered from disrespecting someone of greater stature typically.  However some do it for other reasons, like T.I. claiming "King of the South" when artists like Ludacris are obviously more talented. Then you still have to acknowledge the greats like OutKast. 

Here is the case. Hip Hop's net worth somewhat depends on these continued rivalries bringing forth shows like "Beef" and spawning rap moguls like Fifty Cent and Rick Ross to name a few.  Well, Jay Z has seen his share of wannabees stepping on his toes, and some of the rappers we call top notch drawing first blood. Most recently Cash Money's Lil Wayne, self proclaimed the greatest rapper alive" anticipates his new album, and what better way to promote it then to dis the dude that, some say, sits on the the throne.  Battling for number one, Kanyeezy and Hov launch "Watch The Throne" and Weezy awaits the release of "The Carter 4".  In his newly leaked track "It's Good" featuring Jada Kiss and Drake, Drake disses Jay Z while introducing Wayne and the disses then continue.

 

Wayne was interviewed and was heard basically blaming the perceived dis on perception because he never mentions Jay Z's name. Hmmmm. A little spineless I say.  Stand up and take claim, Al qaeda does.  I read through the many blogs mentioning this particular verse and the comments show how blood hungry this hip hop world is.  It's pretty much a consensus with Jay supporters that he doesn't need to respond, but the followers of Lil Wayne think otherwise. 

I think you have two highly talented rappers and this is a stunt to sell albums on Weezy's part.  I really don't think he needs it, but as one hip hop fan states "...It would be fun". Does hip hop need this sort of nonsense? Should Hip Hop feed this drama hungry world? Reality shows prove our hunger for drama and this event would definitely make money.  So if it's about the dollars, then throw away the sense. Lets get ready to rumble.

Notorious Roc Nation Member Memphis Bleek Speaks Jay & Beanie Sigel

Memphis Bleek Repping Roc Nation



This week after a video shoot for “Kush Gang”, a freestyle over Ace Hood’s “Hustle Hard”, Memphis Bleek went on camera with M. Recks for ForbezDVD.com. Bleek offered some insightful responses to questions about Tru Life, Beanie Sigel’s attack on The Roc, and “the Big Homie” Jay-Z’s admonition that he’s gotten too comfortable.


We haven’t heard from Bleek in a while, and apparently he’s been jet-setting.

“I’ve been on a lot of tours with the big homie, holding the big homie down, I just came from Africa I was out there for a month,” he said recounting his whereabouts.

When asked about Robert Rosado aka Tru Life; recently sentenced to eight years in prison for gang assault which resulted in the stabbing death of another young man, and his problems with Dipset, he denied they had anything to do with The Roc. Still he maintains a friendship with the troubled rapper.

“He had has own situation, personal issues with them, you know what I’m saying, that ain’t got nothing to do with music. They know what it is, he know what it is.”

What did have something to do with The Roc, however, was Philly-based emcee Beanie Sigel’s 2009 attacks on Jay-Z and Bleek. Bleek didn’t respond in anger back then, and has the same levelheaded outlook on the situation today. In fact, he claims to have not even heard the record.

“I can’t listen to Beans diss me. I can’t even diss Beans. Like c’mon man we got money together, we starved together, we ate in the stu, we shared bitches, we shared blunts, we shared liquor. How can I diss you, when you my man? I’m a discredit everything we built up?” Bleek implored. “I’m a real nigga, my thing is I just won’t say nothing. Whatever he going through I hope he get to the end of it and go find the light.”

So since Bleek is making music and shooting videos, should we expect a future Roc Nation release? Bleek says no.

“Me, I’m trying to build my own empire,” he told M. Recks. For me to get respect I gotta branch out on my own. Everybody already thing I’m good because Jay say he’s good. But what they don’t realize is none of my albums went wood, that’s why I’m good. All my albums are successful; I got plaques for each and every album.”

Part of that empire is developing talent and giving some new blood a chance to shine.

“Ain’t no shot if I’m under Jay,” he recognized.

Naturally, Bleek went to Jay for advice in executing his plan.

“I spoke to the big homie, he told me I don’t work hard enough,” Bleek said.

According to the mogul, Bleek should be flooding the internet with music, interviews and videos. He admitted that in the past his work ethic hasn’t been the most consistent. In that same light, he gave nods to Odd Future and Freeway for their prolificness.

While “Kush Gang” is a step in the right direction, there will undoubtedly still be those who think Bleek can’t make it on his own. He’s ready for that.

“You can’t answer everybody, everybody got their own opinion.”



Kim & Nicki Just Can't Seem To Work It Out. The Beef Continues...

I grew up on Hip Hop and followed Big and Juniour Mafia through the nineties.  All the while Kim shocked me, made me turn my nose up at her at times, and also wowed me with her lyrical abilities. 

When this chick Nicki came along I didn't know how to take her, but I did notice the vast similarities in style, however she had her own thing too. Nicki is the future and Kim has had her moment at the top. Lets see how long this oversized rump and massive effects female emcee can hold her ground. We are all interested in the outcome. Peep the two videos a nd check the Nicki and Kim collaboration by D Dot.
