Well, it looks like Vic Mensa ran through some new tracks when performing at a free show at the University of Cincinnati this weekend, but the fact that he’s got new music in the pipeline is not the top story.
Instead, it’s that a line from one of these new songs seems to go straight for 19-year-old Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty. In a clip that’s been circulating on social media, Mensa draws a huge reaction from the crowd as he drops the following four bars:
Yeah I signed to the Roc
Now they say I’m Illuminati
Bitch I’m a tsunami
What the fuck is a Lil Yachty?
Now if you think there’s a chance we’ve misheard, or misinterpreted, check the video out yourself:
Vic Mensa is hardly the first rapper to take shots at Lil Yachty — plenty of veterans have taken issue with Lil Boat’s “mumble-rapping” and his statements about Notorious B.I.G. being overrated. Whether Lil Boat actually responds to this call-out remains to be seen. Since the diss, he’s just been tweeting like normal, though he did post this ambiguous tweet on Sunday.
2 rappers I don’t like, but Vic gotta stop taking shots at people for no good reason. Being signed to Roc Nation hasn’t seemed to do him well so far. Especially when (sadly) Yacthy’s got plaques.
does any from roc go anywhere? just like bad boy. since day one, both shit top of the pyramid use n suck the li(f)e and majority financials out their artists.
Kanye..Rihanna..J Cole..just sayin..
from a gay rapper to a gay rapper
I don’t care whether old school or new school rappers every body should take shots at these retarded mumble rappers for embarrassing what was used to be art. I would also like for every body beat the living shit at those retarded mumble rappers.
It’s a minor schooner Vic, that’s what a lil Yachty is.
Loooooool!!!’n
So, 2 issues here. I personally don’t know why people have it out for lil yachty. I seen him on Noisey Atlanta. Seems like a harmless kid that got his break, wants to do music whatever. Then you have Vic who’s entirely on a different level, and could use his status to go at somebody else, but wastes bars on Yachty which insinuates that he’s threatened and Yachty is worth throwing shots at? Want to impress me? Go after Future, Migos or other artists that don’t feed their audience mentally but have more weight? Plus, how you gonna use Jays play of words that he used for 50 back in the day like that’s hot? Here I was defending his ignorant ass when he got caught up in that gun case until I read about how the guns had no serial number, but now he’s just being weak sauce.
It’s either the battle of the cupcakes, the battle of the fruitcakes or the battle of the cupcake vs. the fruitcake; I can’t tell in this particular situation.
