Drake called Kendrick a woman beater & said his kid might be by another man so NO, once the gloves are off they are OFF. Rap Battles have always been like this. I can tell some of ya’ll weren’t around to hear disses from 20-30 years ago. This isn’t new.

MC Shan took a serious “L” when KRS dropped “The Bridge is Over” but if MC Shan would have ignored “South Bronx” and not replied with “Kill that Noise”, KRS/BDP might not have taken off like it did & Criminal Minded might not have had a Classic impact. Hip Hop won in this battle.
Very sad to hear Madlib lost his home in the L.A fires. I hope the hiphop community will go extra hard to help him get back on his feet asap. Madlib is greatly loved and respected.
RIP Warcloud aka Holocaust 🙏🏾🕊️ Dope emcee.. always saluted RZA for signing some rappers from Long Beach and Compton in ‘97.. RIP Doc Doom too 🙏🏾 S/O Black Knights of the NorthStar..
Rolling Stone had omitted Prince from its list of the greatest guitarists of all time. Jann Wenner (Rolling Stone), also happens to be the co-founder of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
this solo was a musical “fuck you” to Wenner and the rock and roll establishment in general. to emphasise his point, Prince was making it on a stage that also contained the likes of Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and Dhani Harrison (son of George Harrison, While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ writer).
at rehearsal the night before the ceremony, Prince kept his powder dry and fell back, letting Jeff Lynne’s guitar player play both the original While My Guitar Gently Weeps solo - played on the White Album by Clapton - and the one during the outro. Prince did nothing.
the night of the ceremony, Prince turned Hall of Fame musicians into his backup band, and played one of the best guitar solos ever recorded, with no rehearsal.
an unrivaled artistic genius.
Flowers and respect to D-Nice, an underrated figure in Hip Hop Culture. A DJ, MC, Producer & Photographer at heart. One of the members of BDP as a teen, D-Nice has been around Hip Hop his entire life. When COVID hit, he changed the music game with his online parties.👑
Flowers & respect to Kool Moe Dee, one of the first lyrical kings along with Caz & Mel. An MC that elevated Battle Rap, deep thought in rhymes along with multiple flows, he deserves endless props. From Treacherous Three to Solo career he is forever in the Hip Hop HOF…..👑
One MC / rapper pushed more $ into a city and community than anyone. As best he could. That person is @MCHammer . So before you rank any HipHop moguls power lists or Forbes charts you should know that historical fact. Oakland was a life investment and its people.
I don’t care if someone isn’t a fan of Fat Joe but let’s not act like DITC, Terror Squad, Big Pun Legacy, huge collaborations, street & club bangers didn’t happen. He made his mark in Hip Hop. I keep perspective.✌🏽
