On the first day of the new year, Skillz has delivered his annual Rap Up to recap the insanity that was 2020.
The Virginia-bred wordsmith gets into COVID-19, Lil Wayne endorsing Donald Trump, protests, Kanye West’s antics and more in the 9-minute clip, summarizing it all by adding, “Throw It In The [Trash].”
Skillz has been recapping the year on wax since 2002, which has since spawned other iterations including Uncle Murda’s (who also dropped his version on Friday) – which Skillz denounced with a diss track in 2018 after Murda shaded him on his “2017 Rap Up.”
Skillz Recaps The Year With "Rap Up 2019" Single
“Couple years ago, I’m up in A.C./ I get a call from Clark Kent and he don’t never call me/ Talkin’ bout he heard your version of my song/ He told you you was bitin’ and you knew that you was wrong/ But not for nothing you was trying to make it better and trying to reach out to see if we could it together/ I’m like Clark, nigga you must be faded/ Why the fuck would I collab on some shit that I created,” Skillz rapped on the record.
Murda shot back on a diss record of his own, but eventually the beef quieted down. Listen to the “2020 Rap Up” up top, and revisit Skillz and Murda’s diss tracks below.
Absolutely can’t stand the beat… he could’ve easily rhymed over something more significant but damn was the content and visual beyond anything he’s ever done before. Definitely out that other dude trying to do the same… to shame. Salute Skillz! VA y’all really different over there.
Damn Murder….muthafuckas cant have shit these days without some1 tryna bite the shit….99% of u uncreative sdrawkcab fucks knows this
Yep. It’s just like when Crook had the Hip Hop Weekly shit, and then dudes tried to bite that. Do your own damn thing.
Skillz was first tho. Umcle Murder Bit off Skillz
Skillz was first but uncle murda do it better
Lol, you must be 15…
The beat suck ass. Uncle Murda’s version was better
Beat was trash but Skillz got that stamina to outlast Uncle Burga. The last line in Skillz’ joint. o_O Damnnnnnnnnnn. I think Burga’s was on par with Skillz last year but this year burgaman got blown away.
Damn I remember his first wrap up 2002. Good to see he’s still going at something he’s passionate about
I liked Murda better last year but Skillz takes it on this one. Way to adlib heavy at parts for me but aside from that his best one in years. He ended the track on a crazy note
The original OG
As his name says Mad Skillz got skills and can create original music without biting on anyone. Good wrap up although the beat was a bit… weird.
