In 2008 my friend told me that Drake would be the next big artist and that he was gangsta rap’s worst nightmare. If any of the new generation of rappers were to directly name and insult a gangster rapper isn’t it likely they would lose…So did subliminally insulting artists hurt gangsta rap in a way that directs insults never could have?
The only thing thats hurting is their reputation in the hip hop community. Subliminal disses are what women do. Its kinda funny you said that bout drake bc he became a gangsta rapper himself, or tried to. Then he wanted to be jamaican, then a grime rapper, then… whats nxt? Drake is an actor
This is nothing new…big & nas, jay & nas, then jay and “insert names here” would jab each other up all the time. The only difference was that there was NO social media to hype it up like don king. The artists would pick up on the disses and respond back to each other until one decided they had enough.
Was a good video until all that time spent on trump. Clearly not about hiphop. A quick mention like kdot did in his song would have been ok, but you def went over board.
The line Drake had on the Game track, to say it was aimed at K.Dot, is a shot in the dark. It was one line, and not enough is there to make the claim that it was about Kendrick. And even if it was, doesn’t matter if he was in Compton because he didn’t even say Kendrick’s name. Most people didn’t even think twice about the line, or even consider that it might be about K.Dot. If it was, it flew over most peoples heads.
Beef use to be about something real, now beef is just the new album rollout. Kendrick waits until 2 weeks before his album comes out to sneak diss Sean and Drake? It’s too gimmicky for my taste. Hip hop is becoming caricature of itself.
It is embarrassing to me how the guy in this video dismisses Big Sean as somehow unworthy of Kendrick’s time. Sean is definitely one of the best overall rappers of his generation and a Kendrick-Sean beef seems more legitimate than any Kendrick-Drake beef that folks are desperately reaching for.

Politics “cleary not about hip-hop?” Where have you been the last 40 or 50 years?

What kind of discussion are you expecting if half of the comments are deleted?
Right?! They have zero journalistic integrity and they constantly delete messages. RIP hiphopdx.com. <<<Goes back to allhiphop.com
Piss weak…there’s no cold war going on here…just a cat fight.
I want a breakdown of how Drake got a higher rating than rozay.
