I thought Game was bad, but Arenas got him beat by writing that damn dissertation. Judging by the length of the post, that crap as YNS written all over it. No way I'm reading it.

Let’s translate the lyrics quoted above. “You’re not actually hot because you don’t sell enough albums. I, an international superstar, could’ve helped you sell more by lending you some of my shine, because I’m generous, as my famous friend Ellen Degeneres could tell you. Oh, ‘Another One’ obviously winks at Drake’s Meek Mill diss ‘Back to Back,’ which is funny because Drake is actually one of my famous friends and he thinks what you did is corny. Also I sell more, and people should respect that that matters because everyone acknowledges that numbers matter when it comes to things like determining the all-time greatest basketball player rankings. And not only do I sell more than you, but your jabs about how I don’t make that much money from my record deal are wrong, which makes you dumb and is why my famous friend Jay Z didn’t let you put his remix verse of your song on your album.” It’s all about how Minaj is richer and more successful than Ma, as evidenced by her album sales and her celebrity friendships.
Nicki Minaj—a black woman who grew up in Queens, in a rap beef with a black woman who grew up poor in the Bronx—is essentially arguing that because middle- and upper-class (predominately white) people like her sound more than they do Remy Ma’s, that hip-hop culture—again, once the social and cultural force birthed and cultivated in the black inner city with its own, self-styled standards and morals and ideals—must name her the victor; or, even worse, that because white suburbia has already crowned her Queen of Rap, those who wish to apply hip-hop culture’s own, traditional code of rap diss grading standards and thus reject Minaj’s argument that her RIAA plaques make her the automatic winner have no standing to even judge the battle.
Seriously, what audience is Minaj courting here? Who does she see as the rightful judges of her beef with Ma? The clues are there if you look.
So Cassidy is Drake with an extended career?
U better than that... don't disrespect cass like that he write his own lyircsSo Cassidy is Drake with an extended career?

I mean, it's even more corny to act like traditions don't matter either tho. The point was, there's a whole group of people who don't even understand the culture but these artists pander to them anyway. White, black, doesn't matter. If you don't see the issue with it (and I'm not even surprised) then fine. But it's an issue regardless.

cass is a slightly higher tier career wise over pap but let's not act like cass career panned out
most of his hits were preformulated
everything laid out for him from the hook, beat and theme
all he had to do was rap over it
Cassidy had 3 gold albums and was technically part of da ruff Ryder's too...his career was straight.
Well that wasn't mentioned until the 2nd to last paragraph of what's like a 20 paragraph article, so you lookin right funny right now

It's a convenient excuse...but it definitely reeks "sore loser"
I've personally have always felt it was weird that people used something as opinionated as music, then try and say that it's competitive / a sport.Gilbert's rant was dumb
Rap is a competitive spot about skill, not about numbers
So because Lebron doesn't win MVP means he's not the best player? Because he doesn't win the ring, it means he's not the best player?
How are you the Queen anyway when you have no competition? What other female major label artist even drops? Tink and Def Loaf's mixtapes are supposed to compete?
The only Queen in rap is Queen Latifah.
