Brooklyn, New York, has a special place in the hearts of Hip Hop fanatics. The borough has bred so many different rappers over Hip Hop’s near 50-year history, and the trend continues to this day.
Before his untimely passing in 2020, Pop Smoke was poised to be the next one to lead the charge for Brooklyn in a way that hadn’t been seen since JAY-Z did it 20-plus years ago. Both rappers are generational talents, and with that comes people asking which one an artist would want a feature from.
Bobby Shmurda was recently hit with that question during a conversation with Akademiks. The social media personality asked the “Shmoney” rapper who he would like a feature from between Hov and Pop Smoke. Bobby wasted no time going with the “Dior” rapper as his choice.
Akademiks was taken aback by Bobby’s answer, who ended up mimicking Pop Smoke’s deep voice and ad-libs saying how much he likes the late rapper while also saying the same about Hov. Hip Hop fans are sure to argue over Bobby’s picks, given the generational differences between the two rappers.
Although it may be too late to get a Hov or Pop Smoke feature, fans will be looking to see if Bobby Shmurda will have some guests pop up on his upcoming indy project, They Don’t Know. The body of work is scheduled to arrive on April 29, and according to his Instagram post, Bobby can’t wait to finally unleash new music.
Bobby Shmurda Claims Major Labels Are 'Blackballing' Him Following Epic Records Exit
“4/29 it’s littttttttttt F*** all y’all n***** independent [gorilla] on the loose nah I been dying for y’all to get this work, let’s talk facts no,” Bobby wrote.
And that’s the type of decision making that gets you shelved…
Jay-Z would never give you a verse anyways so Pop Smoke is about the highest profile artist you can get now that you’ve been dropped by Epic, Bobby ButtCheeks.
Heard that even Boy George said no and that’s bad
Both young, both crip. Nothing to get hype about here. RIP Pop
Clown had one song, went to prison, came home dancing like a fruit loop and has the audacity to say Jay-Z. Stop it!
Pop Smoke and Pop Cheeks. No Thanks. Hard Pass. RIP To Pop Smoke but He’ll To The Naw.
POP CHEEKS LMAO!
Can we stop pretending we have to respect this little weirdo ?
Mindset of young dumb brothers a hood dead guy over a billionaire business man???????????????thats. Why his career will go no where
Bobby is right. Jay may make sense to people born generations ago, but the game has changed. Not everyone wants something from a museum
Lucky for him I guess as Hov wouldn’t waste his time on one of his tracks.
You can’t be mad at the choice Bobby made he is far more connected to the sound of Pop than the sound and style of Jay-Z. Personally I wouldn’t choose Jay-Z either, yet because of the age difference I would choose someone like: The God Nasir, Rakim Allah,KRS-1, Beans, G-Rap, Cube, Guru (R.I.P.). I would want a true Hip Hop Rapper.
Bobby WHO????? Make another song or maybe several more songs that people want to hear and maybe just maybe someone would want to do business with you. Doubt JAY Z even knows this kid/person. Pop Smoke is gone so leave hi out of this.
