As Drake continues to roll out his upcoming album, Buffalo artist Westside Gunn wants to clear up any confusion about who gets remembered for what.
In an Instagram post he uploaded recently, Gunn counts the “coincidences” between Drake’s upcoming album and himself. Drake’s album is titled Scorpion (Drake’s astrological sign is Scorpio) and Gunn’s company logo is a scorpion. Drake was also seen wearing a Razor Ramon (real name: Scott Hall) T-shirt. Gunn has used a reference to Hall as a nickname and for an EP title.

Gunn also addressed other issues — like claiming that him being from Buffalo, and not NYC, has held him back as far as media coverage. WSG also believes Migos has recently helped popularize wrestling for a lot of Hip Hop fans (see Offset’s “Ric Flair Drip” for one example), while he’s been referencing it for years. (Granted, even before Gunn, there have been other rappers making wrestling references in their raps such as Cam’ron, DOOM, Ruff Ryders, Outkast, Wu-Tang Clan and pretty much every battle rapper.)
Aside from wrestling, the Shady Records rapper also wants credit for starting the half and half shirt style. He ends his lengthy post by promoting his upcoming Chris Benoit album and clarifying he’s not starting any wars over his legacy: “YALL BETTER STAY WOKE I AM THE CULTURE & again I HAVE NO BEEF whatsoever wit ANYBODY I’m on my own Dick”

Pwahahahahahah, dude seriously ya’ll sound like Wu and Andre 3000 illegitimate sons. FOH with that self righteous Kanye West big head having trollness
some ppl would argue that wsg is influenced by roc marci heavy
Man you RETARDED. No similarities what so ever delivery is waaay different bars are on some other shit they both just love fly talk. Think before you speak youngin.
Actually you’re wrong playboy. Early WSG sounds very close to Marcberg era Roc Marc….even Combat Jack addressed it in an interview and Gunn admitted that’s an influence.
I wouldn’t say HEAVlLY influenced but roc and westside are from the Same grimey fly talk era so how could they not be in the same realm? Wouldn’t say they are similar tho roc spits mellow and wsg spits with way more emphasis and energy. So I ain’t wrong playboy. Just don’t see the influence. I see the same genre. That’s like saying snoop was influenced by pac, shit makes no sense they both from the same era and make gangsta rap so of course they are going to have a specific sound
YOU don’t have to see the influence, Chico. Combat Jack heard it, saw it and spoke on it. The influence is heavy. Period. And frankly speaking, there’s nothing wrong with that since WSG and camp have referenced it, and since they’ve done work with Roc Marci. All of that said, WSG needs to chill.
Actually WSG reminds me of Ghostface more than anything Wu, which is still dope. Their shit is dope than this clown music out now
The mainstream always steals from the underground. Just like the Neptunes stole Kool Keith’s ideas, just like Kanye made Yeezus a radio friendly Death Grips, just like Futire started wear sombrero after Raury rocked it, the next mainstream guy will rob you not giving any credits.
I’m not sure where he’s coming from with Drake as their styles are nothing alike. Also its real classy that he uses a photo of a man that Killed his whole Family and his disabled son. I’m not really a fan of Westside Gunn and that didn’t help
But you’re a fan of Migos, right? FOH
You take that back!!! the man had issues aight?!!! Doesn’t change the fact he was dominant in the ring just like WSG ON THE MIC. WTF you better change your attitude before I cripple crossface your ass
Ego trip, dude, you aint on yet. And when you are, you’re paying for the use of Hitler as a promotional tool for mixtapes. There’s no amount of explaining that will get you past the Jewish Israeli lawyer force, so you might as well get dropped from Shady now, as Interscope won’t push you for fear of that shit getting dug up. Stick to selling T-shirts and reselling them on ebay for inflated prices and shit.
Are you kidding me? Dude is such such a legend already that all and I mean all the legends pay homage and have features with Griselda. From the late greats like Sean P and Prodigy, to legends like Ghostface, Meth, and Rae, D-Block etc, ect, etc and incase you didn’t know, the legends were opening up for Griselda’s NY tour. Pease get a late pass and catch up nobody hotter or gets more respect on the streets than those Griselda cats.
Westside Gunn aka The Fly God
Summer Slam 88 aka Mutha Fucka I’m a legend 2nd verse
Aye Yo
The GLE benz was all gold,
The bag full of Tecs that all fold,
Goyard duffle with the Mighty Mouse,
4 bedrooms that’s a tiny house

We gone get richer if the O’s locking
A 100 round drums for you fucks
Beef with me I wish you best of luck
Motha Fucka I’m a legend….
Motha Fucka I’m a legend
