Following Eminem’s Nick Cannon diss on Fat Joe’s single “Lord Above,” the Wild ‘N Out host returned fire with not one but two diss tracks aimed at Slim Shady earlier this week — “The Invitation” featuring Suge Knight and “Pray For Him” with The Black Squad.
During an appearance on Sway In The Morning, Griselda brethren Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn and Benny The Butcher were asked to weigh in on the beef. While they seemed to agree that no one should cross Griselda, they had opposing views on participating in the e-battle.
“I heard the song,” Benny admitted. “There’s one say I can say about it. Them niggas wildin’ out. Niggas wilding out. That’s Marshall. You gotta get in your bag. You have to. This rap, this competitive. You have to dig deep in your bag. They hear the David Goliath story, everybody try to go to war with a slingshot. Them niggas had a slingshot.”
Then Westside jumped in with, “I don’t battle rap. I got two Billboards in Time’s Square though. I got half a million in jewelry, I don’t have to battle rap” before Conway added, “Where I’m from, niggas call me when it’s time for other shit to do. I ain’t with all that rap shit and all that.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Westside then elaborated on his stance, explaining it’s “clout shit” to hop on a diss track in defense of the person directly involved in the beef.
“These are grown men, 40 years old trying to rap against each other right now,” he said. “It’s deeper than that. In the culture it’s respect, because that goes back to the beginning of time. I respect it, but for what I do personally, I haven’t even heard it – I don’t want to hear it. For what? We got other things we want to do, Chinegun [WWCD] out right now.”
But Benny didn’t necessarily see a problem with it.
“I doubt Em would ask niggas, cause he got that,” Benny says. “But if he asks me, would I do it? I’m not gon’ lie, I probably would if he asked me. If Em walked in this room right now like what you doing after this?”
Westside concluded, “That’s the difference between Westside Gunn and Benny. But one thing’s for sure, don’t nobody want no problems with us. I’m putting that on the record. That’s anybody.”
Finally, Conway wrapped up the discussion by dismissing Cannon altogether.
“We loved when Jay and Nas were going at each other cause they were both ill,” he said. “When Beans and Kiss was going at it, you knew you had to watch that. That’s why I don’t think Eminem’s going to respond. It’s Nick Cannon.”
Griselda dropped the WWCD album last month. The project featured Shady, 50 Cent and Raekwon, among others.
Watch the full interview above.
The headline doesn’t match the actual interview.
They were split between doing it because they thought the Black Squad tracks were wack and not worthy of a response from anyone.
So…..they were split? And the headline matches, yes?
These guys are all a bunch of bitter dirtbag canadians who want to pretend they are from NYC so bad. Simplistic bars and they act like they nice LOL! FOH suckers.
They’re on the 90s dick. Trying too hard to be like Nas, Raekwon, and all that 90s shit without half the talent or originality. They appeal to white suburban backpack kids and are essentially “gangster backpack rappers”. lol
Both you hoes are tight for no reason.
So if Nick watching, if he wants a response from Em, go at these guys.
You heard how tough they are! You don’t want a problem with these people, oh no!
First three responses are the same dude lmao
Griselda and m have no talent. Neither one has a classic HIP HOP album. I’m tired of black entertainers kissing his butt. Lil shade’s albums don’t even sound like hip hop records. I hate vanilla ice but his records had a hip hop feel. I like the beastie boys because they didn’t sell out to the pop crowd. Ill bill, apathy, esoteric and other white rappers didn’t screw hip hop. Princess shady used to rap with the hip hop crowd but she is too feminine (feminem) now.
Well a lot of people feel differently than you do and they like Eminem
That’s cool jen. Just saying from a hip hop point of view his albums are weak. We don’t like pop music in our records. Pop fans have a different opinion. No need to fight over his wackness. Lol. Ho! Ho! Black Santa.
Why be low key racist ?? Shits ignorant! Ppl who like lyrics like em. It’s a skin color thing … That’s the ONLY reason he’s not considered hip hop sometimes . Ole Lord Jamar ass char char the god ass
Dope beats + banging lyrics = hip hop greatest
Pop beats + dictionary lyrics + no HIP HOP CLASSIC ALBUMS = overrated pop star 4 the suburbs. Just my opinion.
“There’s one say I can say about it……There’s one say I say about it? Huh? Oh yea and it’s Times Square not Time’s you wannabe illiterate journalist Smh
I honestly thought they were gonna go harder on the freestyle.. Horseshoe game will eat these foos for breakfast
*Horseshoe gang
westside gunn sucks donkey ass with his lame ass BOO BOOBOO BRRRRRRRR
Spelled your name wrong
The interesting thing is, it really IS Nick Cannon. And it’s 2019. And Eminem actually swung at Nick Cannon first. So I think it says a lot about how confident Eminem is in his legacy that he would swing on Nick Cannon first in 2019. Like that’s what we’ve all been waiting to hear from him for the last 10 years, right? Yapping on like a whining pre-schooler over Nick Cannon. For the love of God, you people are almost senior citizens. Grow the hell up and make some good music again. All of this is getting sad.
Nk nick cannon did an interview and Eminem was responding to his interview. Nick said he would have kicked em ass. And thats when him dropped the versus on fat joe.
You ain’t gotta battle rap??? Who the fuck you think put that billboard up fool?? You? You pay for that shit?? Doubt that cause you got half a mil on yo neck…??? please….
The rappers with testicles are the rappers that got Cannon’s back. Look at all the scared rappers scared to say something bad against Eminem. He been riding Nick for 10 years. A man have a right to stand up to a bully. Guess he was suppose to bend over and grab his ankles. Em obviously have other issues with Nick. Ice Cube have ignored many that he thought was unworthy. The song is called Lord Above and his verse is about Nick Cannon. WTF
For all those who say Griselda has no talent, no bars, no originality ??♂️ nor Em or Griselda never put out a classic album/The Marshal Mathers LP/WWCD??♂️…….I say to you ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? YEAH OKAY ?
