Fox Sports host Shannon Sharpe felt the wrath of Griselda Records after taking a shot at Buffalo’s Hip Hop scene. Westside Gunn and Benny The Butcher clashed with the NFL Hall of Famer via social media over some comments made by the former Denver Broncos tight end on his television show Undisputed.
While debating his co-host Skip Bayless during a recent episode, Sharpe dismissively asked, “What great rappers you know come out of Buffalo?” A Twitter user posted the clip and tagged the Griselda roster while telling the former NFL star-turned-television personality that he was out of touch.
Sharpe didn’t let the fan’s words go unnoticed.
“Yep, I’m outta touch,” he wrote. “But, IF* you’re like that I prob shouldn’t have to google you.”
Sharpe later quipped, “Buffalo known for rappers like Ga known for avocados” and “Bet more ppl know Buffalo for wings than rappers. You outta touch IF* you think anything else.”
Westside chimed in by taking a shot at Sharpe and warning the NFL great about disrespecting Buffalo.
“Its Bool if it wasn’t for Steven A Smith I wouldn’t know who Skip was and If it wasn’t for Skip I wouldn’t know u was either,” the Shady Records signee wrote. “guess we both learned something, now I’m a fan of your show, do they sell your throw back anywhere I wanna buy it and represent.”
He added, “OK I’m done It was fun for a day Old Head I know u don’t got it all u smoke black n milds & prob wear black Air Force 1s, if u didn’t know u didn’t know but disrespecting my City idc if u was Jesus ain’t shit sweet around this way, sincerely FLYGOD #thenewKINGofNY TELL Skip watup.”
Benny also shared his thoughts on the matter, which elicited a response from Sharpe.
“Funny thing is I jus seen this ugly mufucka like a week ago at the airport in Atlanta,” Benny wrote. “i was the one with the big jewels you kept starring at.”
Sharpe fired back, “Bruh, I don’t know you.,Don’t take it personal. Hell, it’s a lot of ppl that don’t know me. Buffalo is still known for the Bills, wings and Rick James not rappers.”
Outside of the Griselda crew, The Roots drummer Questlove sent a more respectful message to Sharpe about the Buffalo diss.
“Lol Chill Shannon….. @WESTSIDEGUNN @WHOISCONWAY @BennyBsf @Daringer_ are the NOW,” he wrote. “I guarantee you just made the next Griselda release intro. Trust Me On This!”
If Questlove’s right, it wouldn’t be the first time Sharpe’s been sampled for some music.
Check out one example below.
[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Sharpe is too busy jacking it to photos of Lebron James to be in touch with music.
Pause.
They are both trash period.
Yeah, Griselda is wack though. Same repetitive bullshit. All ghost face/Rae biters. Derringer’s beats are dope though. Boom boom boom boom skiiiiiioikkkkrtt
Sharpe is corny but these Griselda dudes boring AF.
Please name some names of MC’s putting out better RAP than Griselda ???? New artist….I will WAIT !!
Rigz..roB gates..maverick montana…mooch..times change..illanoise(da cloth)……lil eto (cold summers)…rochester shit
Rochester got better vibes than buffalo imo that rigz album is TUFF
Only one i heard out that group is Lil Eto and he runs with 38….Gonna check the others and see whats up. Hard to see someone with better bar work than BENNY right now.
BALONEY !! BALONEY !!!!!!! Buffalo rappers have more of a killer instinct than Lebron
Haaaa!!! If Shannon is up on his music, he’d just check it out! Hell, there are maaaany dope artists that I slept on, or haven’t heard of!
These dudes are corny gangster backpack rappers. No one knows them except white eminem groupies and backpackers stuck in the 90s.
Actually, Roc Marci put Westside and Conway on the Map…Way before Em even rocked with them… F*ck Eminem!!
Are you stupid?
Lmao seriously? Man you obviously don’t follow shit going in hip-hop … go listen to Lil Nas X and country
These guys are special ed trash bags from canada. None of them have bars. They just good at screwing up their face and pretending to be from NYC. The reality is they are closer to Canada than NYC. They are not no damn new yorkers. Just clowns that kiss a lot of ass.
Stop the CAP…..As far as new artist go, These Up-State crew got it on smash !!! You must not be from Nyc, Cause cats go up top to Hustle..It is extra grimey in some parts……38 spesh & Benny is the new age Kiss & styles.
How could they be Styles or Kiss when they have zero bar work? Stfu groupie.
You OBVIOUSLY didn’t here Benny hold his own on a track wit BLACK THOUGHT?
They reaching like shawn Bradley everybody knew shannon Sharpe before the commentating
Im with sharpe on this. Didnt even know buffalo had rappers. All in this whole thing is much ado about nothing. I will say this though sharpe is in the hall of fame!
That Milds Wit the Yak bangs tho no cap
I’m sorry, damn near all these rappers are repetitive, be half ass singing, lack of vocab, on top of that use the same producers with the same drops and 808s.
Not Griselda.
Yes Griselda. Every son is the same on ALL their shit. Sell drugs, shoot people, designer clothes, I was shot, I was in the fed, buck buck buck buck skeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrtttttttttttt. EVERY SONG! All of this while biting Ghost and Rae. Hard. You’re an idiot.
Wu Tang gave griselda props. They got the wu co sign. So they obviously don’t think they biting
That’s what I’ve been saying about them, since this hype train started a couple of years ago. When I want to listen to that type of music, I just go back to the 90s albums. That tough guy routine era in rap is played out. I want to hear new sounds and perspectives.
Shannon Sharpe would beat the ever living shit out of these clowns with one hand tied behind his back.
if their lyrics are to be believed they would shoot him. one armed tied behind his back and all.
Keywords if their lyrics are to be believed…the one guy got shot up and got his face all screwed up because if it and didnt do a damn thing about it. They are fugazi af. Lil fellas.
How you know he knows who shot him?
Sharpe can barely speak English
Bet they wouldn’t talk like that to shannon’s face
Fax me that!
Bet they would
Lmaaaao! Yo, I don’t know what drugs you’re on, but I need some of that. Otr
Please. Shannon would beat the shit out of both of them with a hand behind his back.
So Westside said he would have never known Shannon Sharpe if it weren’t for Skip? Sharpe is probably in the top 5 tight ends of all time, you can’t be that dumb and claim to be a sports fan.
You sound stupid lmao “they didn’t fuck with the Broncos” haha you must be a browns fan you clown
These dudes act feminine
When dude said he wouldn’t know who shannon sharpe was if it wasn’t for skip bayless, his whole argument went in the toilet like stop it dude, stop lying.
Just remember people. Whenever there are articles like this regarding differences in opinions between minorities, the war against races shines. Don’t take too much heed to the comments. They will get you emotionally charged up to turn us against each other. Be smart. Be woke..Look at it like this. Peep any Conway or Griselda article and notice how much more the positives and support shines above else. More than the negatives. And then this pops up and the hate towards them is at an unbelievable scale. That’s what they want. How they roll. Unite, use logic, knowledge and wisdom above all else. Bc these suckas WILL get to you. Peace!
Wow. Two black guys don’t agree with a comment made by a different black guy. That’s a difference in opinion between minorities? LOL. You’re an idiot.
Thinking LOGICALLY is a LIVE SAVER? & what u said was nothing but the truth fam????
So a former sportsman doesn’t know about some repetative Ghostface biters, does he? How great news is this.
they lucky shannon didnt bring up buffalo losing three times inna row at the SuperBowl LMAO!
It was actually 4 times in a row lmfao
Those guys were the first 2 rappers from buffalo to sign a major deal and it happened in 2017, how can anyone argue with shannon over that, the rest of the world didn’t get introduced to buffalo rappers till 2017
Actually Black Rob and Tracey Lee are both from Buffalo as well…
hall of fame TE or underground lyrical rappers who “dont do it for the money.”
If anyone on this website claims when they hear the word “Buffalo” and doesn’t think of wings or the Bills you’re lying
Bills? As in dollar bills? Or duck bills?
Shannon said how many great rappers from Buf do you KNOW, outside of hardcore hip hop heads people just don’t know them like that
The word is cool not bool
They’re blood, they substitute the b for c
They’re FAKE BLOODS. Or, not from LA. Cosplay shit.
Nah! You just a clown because the sh!t is worldwide since the 90’s fool. If you think that it’s only LA your clown ass probably never left your house! Lmao
Hey. I don’t believe you. I could state such shenanigans all to the love of google…
Sure buddy. I went to Venice High School. Venice Shoreline Crip and Venice 13 hood. Kids were bused in from all over. Aqui estou falando em português perfeito. That’s Portuguese nerd. No one gives TWO fucks about what you believe. Hoe ass crackkker. You and your three homies in Kansas think you guys are bloods. Hilarious. Fake ass motherfucker. Anyone outside of L.A., other than the “Denver Lane Bloods” aren’t real bloods. Straight up. No one gives a fuck about what your cosplay ass believes. LOL. Clown. Way to take that L bitch. Great comeback. LOL. I don’t believe you. Real nights know what’s up. Idiot.
Yeah, how come Slim 400 and YG were talking a gang of shit on snitch Nine then, pussy? LOL. YG is from Tree Tops. An infamous Compton blood set. Slim too. They both have said repeatedly that all of that non L.A. blood shit is fake as fuck. YG does shows in NY all day. Dummy.
Whats wrong with Black AF1s?
Lol, google the complex article about black AF1’s…
If you need to ask than you don’t need to know. straight up
2 smoosh face tards and 4’9 white nerd making there beats.
Thats gangsta! Haha
What anybody face and height and colour of beatmaker got to do wit being gangsta?
This dude said if it wasn’t for Stephen A, he wouldn’t have heard of Skip. Mf Skip the one who basically put Stephen A on First Take. What an idiot.
It’s Bool? So now Westside Gun is a BLOOD? They know damn well who Shannon Sharpe is and going at him is cornball shit.
Cats just sweatin’ these noobs cuz the style they are running with hasn’t really been heard by this new generation of listeners, so obviously they are gonna say they can spit or are decent Mc’s. The dude with the twisted mouth is mediocre and the other cat is boring af. Cool that Buffalo is now on the HipHop Map but what do they bring to the table in which we never heard before and has never been done?! Nothing! If you want some authentic stuff just go listen to Mobb Deep, CNN or The lox. We don’t wanna hear the same recycled stuff over and over again.
stop is Shannon… just stop… Apologize, say you were out of touch and keep it movin. NO need to go back and for with Griselda or their fans, you can’t win. Hell, invite them on the show for a segment, turn this into something that works for both parties.
He just gave them a bigger platform then hardcore hiphop fans. They should thank him and invite him to experience their music.
But he did say “Great” and honestly they ain’t great just yet…
Shannon is a Lebron D*ck sucker… Yes he is a hall of fame TE but he is Skip’s sidekick now… Let’s be real! Griselda is doing the damn thing and showing a lot of underground artists how to move and get money with music and merch and make the labels come to you. If you don’t respect that you’re a goofball period! Them dudes don’t hide that their sound is influenced by that grimy 90’s era. Hence the reason why they got some of the dopest producers making beats for them from Alchemist, Premier, DJ Muggz, Buckwild (D.I.T.C.), Pete Rock to their own producer Daringer. And they’re doing collabos with legendary MC’s that the majority of you clowns are fans of. Not to mention a credible MC has given them props. I rep my whole state besides my borough and I fucks with Griselda Records music way before I fucks with Shannon’s clown ass who by the way didn’t play for my team. Was never a fan of the Bronco’s so f*ck him! LoL
Well Said. ??
Indeed!!!!
Shannon Sharpe was on TV winning Super Bowls, then again as a panelist on the biggest football programs and now he’s on FS1. He is more relevant and visible than all of Buffalo combined (hip hop and in general). How can westside say he hadn’t heard of him before Skip put him on? He’s been bigger than skip for almost as long as skip has been on TV. Clowns in hip hop today
Griselda fake bloods and mediocre rapppers that will blow up. They lucky white boy fuck with them
They was Hot before EM even rocked with them…SMH.
When you calling any rapper out the griselda camp .mediocre you gotta be talking bout WSG (The weakest link)…Benny and Westside got BARS son..Benny Even held his own wit black thought on a track..
*Benny and Conway got BARS
Only Griselda I know is Blanco.
Shannon was right.
Buffalo is known for the Bills and wings.
Who are these guys again?
Buffalo is not New York and westside , conway & benny never are king of new york.
??????
I like Westside and Conway, but they take an L. You can disagree with Sharpe, which is fine, but to say you only know him because of Skip tells me that they are not football fans. Sharp is in the NFL Hall of Fame. Safe to say, more people in Buffalo know him than they do Westside and Conway.
Never heard of Sharpe but the Griselda crew are the dopest in Hip Hop right now
Sharpe is correct. There are no great rappers from Buffalo. Griselda is overrated. Nothing I haven’t heard before and every song sounds the same. Nothing original or creative
hahaha you mean the guys who literally got the torched passed by Wu Tang, Mobb Deep and the Lox ??? I’m pretty sure your contribution and opinion is way more for the culture and hip hop…what a douche
People get the matter of his statement misconstrued. The argument ain’t what Buffalo is known for, its “No Great Rappers have came out of Buffalo” and Skip Baylee’s agreed. We have had numerous Great Rappers come out of Buffalo. Now we have Famous Great Rappers come out of Buffalo. THEY need to get Familiar…
Football got little dick energy anyway, like some injury porn clown know anything about music.
