Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Kurupt said he moved from Philly to CA in middle school or high school

Just read the comments, that **** is funny. Comments said Daz from Mississippi and Xzibit from Detroit, who knows.

Game’s delivery made that **** way funnier than it really was
xzibit from new mexico
 
i dont keep up with him so maybe you know more, but i havent seen him so active and interviewing at so many outlets (in terms of his own music/career), until this beef, he’s way more known now and he’s been around for quite a while. Attached to the biggest artist in the game before Drake came (Kanye) and beefed with the other biggest artist in the game before Drake (wayne)

You do realize The Clipse were under Pharrell and the Neptunes, right?

they never “exceeded” that though. Of course they were around and came on the scene strong (pause), but they always remained in their tier, once Push went solo, linked with Ye etc...he got “up there” as far as establishing as a solo artist...but his biggest moment (i did say arguably), had to be this beef. How many solo tapes has he dropped in the past 5-10 years?2018, coupled with a great album in Daytona, he seemed to be way more places, driven by the beef majorly, and secondly his album
 
Nah

A lot of people considered those first two Clipse albums classics.

I hear more people talk about his first solo album than his beef with Aubrey. That **** was such a lop sided beating, nobody really cares but Aubrey, lets you know how bad of a whooping it was.

Pusha's biggest moment as a solo artist is signing to Kanye and getting that GOOD Music stamp

Rock’s dad has that Count Dracula hairline. Rock’s hairline didn’t have a chance :rofl:
 
I don't think you can really argue against the fact that this moment was the only time Push was on morning shows and getting dissed by Steve Harvey and ****

I think calling it his "biggest look" is disingenuous because that implies it was a positive moment or career peak. This was definitely probably his most mainstream coverage but for someone with a 20 year career, 2-4 classic albums (MNIMN + Daytona are the arguables), hit records and features on some of Pharrell and Ye's most known records, one of those being a timeless/classic record that changed how school lunches operated forever :lol:, creator of a McDonalds slogan and President of a million dollar company...I don't know if white talk show hosts using him as a punchline should be considered his "biggest look".

We gotta stop equating any 'mainstream' moment, no matter what it is, as more important than moments in our own culture.

I mean Pusha still ain't some mainstream rapper because he beef'd with Drake. He still in that lyrical/rapper's rap lane. Let's not act like "well Drake made him a star". _'s been known who Pusha is in this game and what he's capable of, Drake himself was a Pusha stan in his teens all the way up in Canada.

Pusha did get a lot of press and attention off of it because he won the battle, he dropped a great diss record. Pusha ain't the first _ to diss Drake. He played his hand smarter than Meek, Common, Joe Budden and that's why it was a huge moment.

Meek's biggest hits were the reference tape (which he should have never leaked, should have kept it for the diss) and him getting peed on (should have rapped it instead of talking about it)
Common was the old bitter guy so the young Aubrey fans didn't care
Joe Budden was also the old bitter guy but the failed rapper as well to a lot of people. Joe killed him. I still play that Wake song and that **** is hard as nails.
 
Put it like this: people who didn't know who Pusha was or found out about him only thru this Drake situation aren't really to be considered or listened to when it comes to their opinion on rap music anyway. Why is so much stock put into what white/otherwise non black kids in middle America are or are not aware of? Especially when they just get older and pretend they were "down" anyway? :lol:
