Days after Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz performed in front of a sold-out crowd at famed New York City music venue S.O.B.’s, the rapper linked up with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club to speak on his New York City debut.
The first topic to be brought up in regards to 2 Chainz’ show was Raekwon’s “pay homage to me son” comment. When asked about Raekwon’s comment, which followed 2 Chainz’ set, the rapper explained that the comment was blown way out of proportion and revealed that he’s had a good relationship with Raekwon for years.
“The reason I didn’t catch it or feel offended is because me and Raekwon really have a great relationship,” 2 Chainz explained. “Going back six or seven years ago. Just cool and not even music. My birthday party in Atlanta, Rae and Cappadonna came to my birthday party. They came to the studio. We got right, went to that together. And so I think cause we’re in New York some people in New York look for negative things. Sometimes they try to look into it and break it down when I knew he was honestly, genuinely saying he was proud of me, where I came from. We’ve had conversations about Method Man, Luda, just everything, just Hip Hop. So when he came out there I felt like he was just congratulating me on where I came from.”
2 Chainz also spoke on performing in New York City for the first time and seeing people from different demographics rocking out to his music.
“The S.O.B.’s event was definitely sold out. It was groundbreaking for an artist like myself. Straight from Atlanta, College Park, coming from where I came from it was definitely a good look….When I looked at it and when I broke it down New York is really the home for critiquing. It’s the Hip Hop Mecca,” said 2 Chainz. “It’s the capitol of Hip Hop so for dudes in New York, especially with different demographics, to actually rock with your music especially coming from the South that’s sort of like a big deal. I told people we gonna get the ladies they gonna come anyway you feel me? But for me to bring the dudes out, I’m talking about Hispanic, white, black, all the brothers coming together for this real campaign it felt good.”

Pay homage to what? An overweight has been who has already had his time in the spotlight. 2 Chainz should have knocked him out right there.
2 Chainz knock out Rae? LMAO. You should actually be the one to get stole
Fuck outta here with your spotlight bullshit dummy! Hiphop is not about who you see on tv all the time right now!
But about the tight albums mcs put over the years. I can still pickup and listen to cds from 88.

Did you hear his feature on Jeezy’s TM 103? Probably one of the best features on the album.
ohhhh shit, the best feature on a young jeezy album, that must be hard
YEAH NIGGA KAY KAY
Who does Rae think he is, Michael Corrileone? Nobody owes you homage, especially when you haven’t done anything relevant in years.
Um, he released Cuban Linx 2 in 09, was pretty much featured on a lot of people’s albums during that time, released a great album with Shaolin vs Wu-Tang last year, touring constantly and his new mixtape came out last month. And here you are mentioning him, so yes, he is very relevant.
…and lets not forget Cuban Linx 1, and his legendary status as a member of Wu Tang. Enough said!
Plus being regarded as the best MC of ’09
The nigga from icarly is a rapper?
Saw him perform in Brooklyn last year, best show of the year pretty much.
Show some respect.

Smfh. This dude needs to step the lyrics up. He’s trash. A throwaway southern bullshit arist. Just like they got garbage everywhere but some of these dudes straight up suck. Big KRIT is who y’all should model yo game after. Icy boi, u def one of the biggest clowns real talk. Who on young money besides Wayne has any talent?…..no I’ll wait……..dra….no. Exactly! U a tried and true clown nigga. Bmo
