This week, Kendrick Lamar appeared to diss Drake, Eminem dropped additional news regarding The Marshall Mathers LP 2, Charron dissed everyone from Rick Ross to Usher and Game signed with a new label.
Eminem Reveals Details Regarding The Marshall Mathers LP 2
This week, Eminem announced that the deluxe version of The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is set to include five bonus tracks, via eminem.com. Orders of “The Whole House” package on Eminem.com are slated to include a copy of the deluxe version of the album, which is scheduled to be released November 5, as well as a T-shirt, a hooded sweatshirt and an unsigned photograph. Other bundles are available for purchase via eminem.com.
Eminem also made headlines by releasing “Rap God,” a new song off The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The selection references several Hip Hop artists who have influenced Eminem, including Rakim and N.W.A. Crooked I spoke with HipHopDX about what this song proves regarding Eminem’s prowess.
“It was crazy,” Crooked I said in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. “It’s just always refreshing to hear a super mainstream artist with bars and skills because a lot of these mainstream dudes that’s rapping out there is wack as fuck. So, here’s somebody who has all the success and has achieved so much in the game and he still has bars to bar you out the game. It’s real refreshing. He basically took the art of double-time rapping and displayed the many different ways you can do that. There’s different cadences you can use when you’re double-timing. He just displayed almost all of them on one song.”
Kendrick Lamar Appears To Diss Drake On BET Cypher Verse
Kendrick Lamar made headlines when he released a verse where he appears to diss Drake during his BET Hip Hop Awards cypher performance.
“Nothing’s been the same since they dropped ‘Control’ / And tucked the sensitive rapper back in his pajama clothes,” Kendrick Lamar says in his cypher verse. “Ha-ha, jokes on you / High-five, I’m bullet proof / Your shits will never penetrate / Pin the tail on the donkey, boy, you’ve been a fake.”
The full verse was released Tuesday (October 15) as part of the BET Hip Hop Awards.
After the verse was released, Kendrick Lamar was asked if the rhymes were aimed at Drake. Without confirming or denying, Kendrick Lamar told Sway In The Morning that he was “just having fun, as usual.”
Earlier this year, Kendrick Lamar mentioned Drake during his verse on Big Sean’s “Control.”
“I’m usually homeboys with the same niggas I’m rhymin’ with,” Kendrick Lamar says on the song. “But this is Hip Hop and them niggas should know what time it is / That goes for Jermaine Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale / Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake / Big Sean, Jay Electron[ica], Tyler[, the Creator], Mac Miller / I got love for you all but I’m tryin’ to murder you niggas / Trying to make sure your core fans never heard of you niggas / [And that] they don’t want to hear not one more noun or verb from you niggas / What is competition? / I’m trying to raise the bar high.”
After the song was released, Drake was asked about the track during an interview with Billboard.
“I didn’t really have anything to say about it,” Drake said. “It just sounded like an ambitious thought to me. That’s all it was. I know good and well that Kendrick’s not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic.”
Drake also spoke about “Control,” when he said that he lost respect for Kendrick Lamar’s sentiments on the verse during a CRWN interview presented by MySpace.
“He didn’t come in there on some wild, ‘I’m in New York, fuck everybody,’” Drake said in September. “I almost wish he had come in there on that shit because I kind of lost a little bit of respect for the sentiment of the verse. If it’s really ‘fuck everybody’ then it needs to be ‘fuck everybody’. It can’t just be halfway.”
Game Signs To Cash Money Records
After speculation surrounding Game’s signing with Cash Money Records, the news became official this week.
Game and Birdman exchanged Twitter messages announcing the signing.
Fellow YMCMB rapper Tyga also helped confirm the announcement.
“I drove two hours to let everybody know that Game is signed to Cash Money Records,” Tyga said before placing the Cash Money chain on Game. “Welcome to Cash Money.”
A video of Tyga saying this can be seen below via prodmedia.
Charron Disses Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross In “B.E.T. Cypher Verse 2013”
This week, Charron released a video for a verse he says was meant to be featured at this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards cypher. Charron was originally meant to appear on a BET Hip Hop Awards cypher after winning a competition on BET’s “106 & Park.” However, the rapper was excluded from the filming of the cyphers.
Soon after he found out cyphers were filmed, Charron spoke with HipHopDX about his exclusion from the cyphers.
“I was avoided for months and given a response after the cypher was pre-filmed,” Charron said in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. “At the end of the day, I was denied of a prize we contractually agreed on…I have proof that I’ve emailed people I’ve been dealing with. I made phone calls. I have records from June and earlier dates. They didn’t respond…They [later] told me they changed the format for this year, but if you look, there’s no format change. It’s the same as every year.”
When Charron released his verse, it contained several shots aimed at notable figures in music.
“I’ll handle Kendrick Lamar,” Charron raps in the video. “With a mothafuckin’ left like a Hendrix guitar / Crazy, people gonna shout / Accidentally cut off Usher’s dick while stabbin’ Bieber in the mouth / Whoa, probably shouldn’t spit that / Think it’s Ludacris? Then pay him to write your diss track / Rick Ross, what you really think? / Only substance that you have is in other peoples’ drinks / Hip Hop these days lost a lot of flavor / If you like the new school, you’re a Waka Flocka flamer / Big L, Big Pun, those are some rappers / Wish Chief Keef died instead of Ol’ Dirty Bastard.”

Y’all need to check out thegrandreport, they got some good hip hop and viral videos on there
Eminem is making a wack album on purpose to make kenny look like a descent lyricist. Interscope and their marketing schemes. Lol
I never heard something like that before. How you’d come with that idea anyways
YOU FOOL!!!!
hes an idiot, eminems rhymes are probably too complex for fans of artists like drake to even understand. they probably dont get how hard it is to do what eminem did in rap god. he hasnt made one wack song in a long time by my definition.. i would say a song like just loose it is wack. it was a fun song for young audience but silly also. berzerk, survival and rap god are all decent songs in my opinion.. if u dont like any of them id love to know what u do listen to and its only 3 songs off the album there is going to be at least 16 plus 5 extra on deluxe edition. if u dont like a rapper why even bother posting on some message board wasting our times, get out of your moms basement and find a girlfriend to fuck your ugly ass and maybe you wont have time to worry about hating on others. if i see a lil wayne article you know what i do? move on and dont read it. thats the problem with hip hop fans your so damn dumb sometimes and immature that you feel the need to hate on anything constantly if you dont like it and say everything is wack and this persons is a sell out. grow up man and just read the articles of the artists you like, stop flooding these comments with your dumb hating comments
who is this @georgel guy cuz he’s smarter than all the people on these stupid “old Em vs new Em” discussions MMLP2 will probably be the greatest blessing, no revelation, no miricle, no THE FUCKING GREATEST THING GOD HIMSELF EVER TOUCHED AND GIVEN to Rap ever since B.I.G. & Pac
as a young money groupie bitch with no accounting skills, I can confirm that drake does not want it with kendrick. kendrick is a 100% better than drakes lame ass, and drake is a soft bitch. Yesterday, birdman put molly in my champagne, raped me and I didn’t even know it.
Lil Wayne? Is that you?
its funny how they promised him a spot for winning the contest…… and then he didn’t.
This is the new eminem, but we are all too busy sucking eminen’s dick to notice him.
so lot of his female fans want to know.. how does it taste? did u enjoy it? whats funny is all the best lyricists respect eminem and talk about how complex rap god was and people like u just love to hate and its probably too complex for your small brain to understand. artists are evolving all the time, hes not going to be the same as he was 8 years ago but his lyrics are still good and songs are better than most crap
who cares if it’s “old” or “new” Eminem!? seriously, does every damn artist of any genre sound the same on every album? the good ones do not, cuz they are trying to use different sounds and ways to appeal and reach they’re audience, the artists who still sound the same get blown over and forgotten about cuz all their work sounds the same, in the end it works out more like the “old Eminem” was the crazy on drugs dissed anyone was super inappropriate and amazing “new Eminem” is more serious, is immature here and there when he needs to be, but over all goes harder than he ever did before, so people like you who try the “oh its only the new eminem” are a fucking embarrassment, you just dip on any artist who’s album wasn’t an exact copy of the last? and say that their new stuff is awful, well the new stuff isn’t meant for everyone, you can’t expect him to do 5 albums that sound just like MMLP or The Eminem Show, but on this next album of his hes gonna be mixing the old Em with the new Em i feel like, moral of this lengthy comment, people who tag him as the “new Em who isn’t nearly as good as the old Em” are brain dead and can’t see that is music and no artist will try to sound the same their whole career (Ice Cube is a proud example of how well making stuff that all sounds the same works, gets too old too fast, all the songs are the same, nothing new, can’t make as much off rap anymore, sign on to star in Are We There Yet) *face palm*
tell me if this line makes any sense…..
“They say two grains is better than one, but they say two chains is better than none.”
So since two grains are better than one am i suppose to not think two chains are better than none?
And where the fuck is this comparison coming from, plus who the fuck ever said that?
This guy Charron, but damn there is no meaning or understanding in what the fuck this guy is saying.
2 brains you idiot… “2 brains are better than one”…
he’s talking shit about people like you… thats why you don’t get it.
he’s white bro he’s doing his best.
He probably just made a list of a lot of words that rhyme and then try to think of some words to put infront of them lol, shit makes no sense.
and you can sound better??? You actually took time out your worthless life to post a “probably” statement? Well, I guess you’re just showing how pathetic your life is…

Kendrick > Eminem any day, more subject matter & lyrical content, plus everyone can relate to Kendrick more, not everyone was a meth head in rehab, lol
meth is bomb
the underachievers – leaving scraps
am i the only one confused why they’re saying he possibly dissed Drake? with the lines they’re showing us on all the reports about it, he mainly talking about Papoose and dissing him, just cuz he said “nothing was the same” doesn’t mean it’s Drake he’s talking about, it’s like anything else in the media with oh say Chris and Rhianna, Rhianna has ONE song come out that talks about a bad relationship and everyone goes “oooooo she’s talking about Chris Brown!” or vice versa Chris Brown has a song about relationship troubles and everyone thinks its about Rhianna, just cuz Kendrick said a phrase that everyone says that just so happens to be Drake’s album’s name, doesn’t mean it’s about Drake (Take Care was better anyways, even though YOLO came from it)
game to cash money, ray charles could of seen that
Is it just me or does that picture of the three of them on the homepage make Em, Kendrick, and Game look mad dusty?
