Westside Gunn isn’t holding back from what he or the Griselda team has done in 2020.
The prolific crew has continued to keep serving fans new material, including Conway’s recently released From A King To A God project. After Elliott Wilson shared a clip of the Griselda team on the Rap Radar Podcast, Gunn retweeted the video and offered a little reminder for fans.
“It was ALOT of controversy after this interview they tried to make it seem like I was starting beef w/ TDE & Dreamville when in actuality I had &have nothing but [love] for them niggas..since then Bro dropped 3x I’ve Dropped 2x, Benny bout to drop then I’m droppingagain was I wrong”
Gunn didn’t believe there was any offense by his original words on the podcast in 2019. When the topic of whether or not Griselda belonged among the top groups was brought up, Gunn pointed out their output compared to other labels that year.
“All of this in one year And we not mentioned in this one year and we not mentioned as the top group,” he said. “Like, you’re still going to mention a TDE, you’re going to mention a Dreamville. Dreamville or TDE didn’t do it. They’re incredible but they didn’t do it. That’s the Buffalo shit that I’m talkin’ about. If you’re going to say TDE was a powerhouse of ’19, but where is ScHoolboy and Kendrick and Ab and everybody’s projects? That consistently had to do it every other month and haven’t slacked one bar?”
He continued, “If you’re gonna name the TDEs and the Dreamvilles then what the fuck is Griselda then?”
The comments weren’t taken lightly, especially from the TDE camp who promoted they’d been working for a decade and it wasn’t a race to be No. 1.
“Niggas gotta compete with legacy at this point,” TDE President Terrence “Punch” Henderson tweeted before later deleting. “Lol. Watch this next 10.”
TDE’s longtime mixer Ali simply put, “Niggas be mad.”
Westside Gunn Names His Top 5 Rappers & They All Have Something In Common
When it comes to crew love, Gunn doesn’t shy away from representing Buffalo and his Griselda teammates to the fullest. On Monday (September 7), he decided to inform the world of who his five favorite rappers were and to no one’s surprise — they’re all signed to Griselda.
“My fav top 5 rappers in the world is @WHOISCONWAY @BennyBsf @BoldyJames @ArmaniCaesar and me #theALMIGHTY #GXFR,” Gunn said in a tweet.
Gunn’s still prepping his solo debut, Who Made The Sunshne but pushed it back following the death of his longtime DJ and friend DJ Shay.
These guys do things their own way… Em is trying to dick ride them into relevancy … all up in the great white nopes jaw.. next to his cheek and gum.. yeah how that taste??? Ya bum..they’ve let the Stans know already.. you’re weird.. we don’t need you.. this is obvious..
Griselda is fire. Love the early Wu vibes from them. Even the Chef co-signed them on their major label debut. Not to mention Em and Hov. Look forward to hearing more from these cats.
There was a lot of contraversy ? First I heard. Since wen ppl make announcement to say sumn don’t exist ? Ppl just talk n talk n talk for sale of saying sumn, anything these days
Clearly there was some kind of backlash since TDE responded to him but your clown self probably didn’t read the article lol
It’s easy to put out the same sh!t, over and over again…….@Griselda
So you telling me Cole and schoolboy don’t make the same records all the time… Buggin… #BuffaloKids vs. Everybody
Bizzy got you! Ha.
He Right Though… They haven’t even done anything this year… Real Hustlers Made Big Moves, even during the pandemic!!! #BuffaloKids vs. Everybody
WSG KING
WSG is 100% right on there. there is no beef tho. i dont see where someone would think that unless they are mentally retarded and looking to instigate. i think they are too ahead of their own time. people will pick up these classics years later after sleeping on them for so long.
I already see Griselda imploding really, really soon. Response to WSG: what is Griselda? Ya’ll Canadians from Niagara Falls, that’s what you are. AYO. AYO. AYO. BOOBOOBOOM. DOOOTDOOT. BRRRRR
Westside Bumm=The very worst to ever do it hands down. Wackest lyrics, wackest voice, wackest adlibs. Just a walking L
WSG ain’t wrong. As a TDE fan, they barely put anything out over the past two years. Only a few singles so far this year and Schoolboy and Sir’s albums last year. Not much compared to how much Griselda’s been dropping. Not sure why Top Dawg keeps holding back his artists.
Them buffalo boys are dope but lyrically ain’t fukin with TDE or Dreamville in my opinion like non of them.are seeing Absoul alone J.I.D from dreamlike be on some sh^t, some of there stuff is fire and some is subpar to me, but there definitely what the game needs and I look forward to there growth.
have you heard Benny the Butcher? foh
