As the dust begins to settle on the hip-hop civil war, it seems like the real damage is coming into focus. While no blood was spilled, It’s safe to say that things haven't been this ugly in a rap beef since the days of Biggie and Pac, with Kendrick Lamar basically dissecting every aspect of Drake’s identity. But, there’s also collateral damage to what’s been said.
Method Man appeared on ‘Drink Champs’ and recalled being at the 1996 Soul Train Awards afterparty while on mushrooms. Meth’s journey on ‘shrooms found him encountering both Diddy and Tupac on the same night, with Method Man noting seeing them both was at the height of the East Coast/West Coast rap beef.
If you watched the rise of Jay-Z, Roc-A-Fella, and all its members at that time, then you know what this post is about. Rap beef has expanded from its Hip Hop roots into the entire culture.
Did you want to be apart of Roc-A-Fella Records? Did you throw up Tha Roc?
American rapper Albert Johnson, better known by his stage name Prodigy, was born on November 2, 1974 in Hempstead, New York. His greatest professional successes were accomplished as one half of the hip hop duo Mobb Deep.
But almost as much as writing great rhymes, Prodigy loved a good rap beef. His career was filled with battles against many of the greatest rappers of all time, and he usually gave as good as he got.
Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z would be considered by many as one of the biggest artists of all time. At one point, however, he felt his contemporary Eminem was bigger than he was. But after working with the diamond-selling artist, Jay-Z saw what that kind of fame did to Eminem. And it was something that Jay-Z wanted no part of.
Jay-Z believed that Eminem bested him when they originally collaborated.
Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown are two all-time female MC’s who paved the way for so many female artists and many of those artists have cited them as influences and we can still see it today. Two people who started out cordial in the beginning but after a while things just weren’t the same and that’s that.
Bone Thugs and Three 6 Mafia. They definitely are two of the greatest rap groups of all time. Both have extensive catalogs and have etched their legacy into music history. However, way before both, these groups saw the heights of their success they would have a feud.
Kanye West ended his feud with Drake as they smiled together in a new video. Drake first confirmed that the feud appeared to be over when he shared two clips on Instagram.
Alongside the two videos, Drake wrote: “You have reached your destination.” Kanye West further proved the feud was over when he shared the same video onto his Instagram Story. The Donda hitmaker continued to document his night with Drake by sharing a photo of the two rappers joined by J Prince.
On Friday, April 30th, Hype Williams will premiere a new music video for the song “Sorry Not Sorry” starring Jay-Z, and Nas.
This is an incredible feat as both rappers are considered in different rap genealogies to be the best rappers to ever touch the mic and there have been rumors of friction between camps dating back to the late 90s or early 2000s.
Back when music was real, artist had the opportunity to shine in their own distinctive way. Rap is one of the most distinctive features of hip-hop. Rappers use rhythm, lyrics, and vocal tone to express themselves. The best rappers are distinguished by their “flow” – the way the words run together without the performer getting tongue-tied.
Tensions seem to be rising between Snoop Dogg and Eminem. In late Dec. 2020, a feud between the rap legends seemingly started after some comments were made during a radio interview, and over the last few weeks, the tensions have moved from the press to music to social media timelines.
Snoop Dogg and Eminem have a long history with one another. Both having come up as collaborators with Dr. Dre, the two have crossed paths many times over the years, even touring together and collaborating on records like “Bitch Please II.” History and mutual friendships aside, a storyline that began as an offhand comment has continued to develop for weeks. To keep you up to speed, here’s a breakdown of the recent feud between Snoop Dogg and Eminem.
Another round of Celebrity Match Up's is back. This time they hit these scene with New York rappers Jay-Z of Roc Nation and 50 Cent of G-Unit.
Both rappers has made there mark in the industry. 50 Cent recently released his book, Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter, in which the rapper speaks on the alleged rift between JAY-Z and Kanye West and why he believes Hov has become "disappointed" with his friend Ye. 50 Cent says his relationship with Jay-Z is purely ''business'' and insists the pair will never be friends.
50 and Jay-Z were involved in a rap ‘beef’ with each other in early 2009, but while neither has said anything publicly to settle their differences, they met backstage when Jay-Z played a huge concert with 50’s mentor, Eminem, at Detroit’s Comerica Park last year, although 50 refuses to say what happened between them.
In 2005, Gucci and Jeezy joined forces on two tracks, “Black Tees” and “So Icy,” both produced by then up-and-coming beatsmith Zaytoven. “Icy” caught fire almost instantly in rap circles and Gucci Mane pushed it as his lead single from his debut LP, Traphouse.
Gucci Mane Charged with the murder of a Jeezy associate While Gucci was visiting a female friend on May 10, four men broke into the house and began assaulting him. Days later, Gucci turned himself in to police after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was charged with the murder of Pookie Loc.
The Jay-Z vs. Nas beef was a gladiatorial battle between two rap titans. For almost a decade, two of rap's most decorated emcees went at each other's throat.
At one point, they even took a poll about the beef, with 58% of listeners saying they preferred “Ether” to “Supa Ugly”. The consensus seemed to point to Nas as the winner. “Ether” has since become an emblematic diss track, with rappers reinterpreting it for their beef purposes.
Jay Z and Nas' feud was sparked over a Memphis Bleek lyric in 2000's 'My Mind Right', causing the rapper to respond to both Bleek and Jay Z on future mixtape tracks. The feud escalated further when Jay Z called Nas "lame" on 2001's 'The Takeover', prompting Nas to take aim at Jay on 'Ether'. The beef continued in this wild manner until they ended it publicly at the 'I Declare War' concert in Philadelphia in 2005.
2Pac was attempting to ignite total warfare against The Notorious B.I.G. This means anyone that stood next to Biggie was liable to be hit with a direct shot. Per Irv Gotti, that was the case when it came to 2Pac's issue with Jay-Z.
Irv made a recent appearance on Fat Joe's Instagram Live show, The Fat Joe Show, during which he touched on Jigga's tension with 2Pac. Gotti told Joey Crack that Hov got on 2Pac's bad side by having Biggie featured on "Brooklyn's Finest" from his debut album, Reasonable Doubt. On the track, Big makes a rare allusion to 2Pac by using his name in witty wordplay.
"Gotta go, Coolio mean it's gettin' Too Hot," Biggie raps after making a reference to "Who Shot Ya" earlier in the song. "If Fay' had twins, she'd probably have two Pacs/Get it? Tu... Pac's?" Per Gotti, allowing Biggie to get this off on his record put Hov in 2Pac's crosshairs.
