How can Hip Hop be dead when Wu-Tang is forever
Notice how all these old timers kick wisdom when the smoke clears.
Bro you play drums for Jimmy Fallon now; some ppl dgaf about what you have to say in regards to this.
Hip-Hop legend or not. Same with BDK.
Ngga this not your day anymore.
Shxt has changed.
Who’s grandma is narrating this 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅😅
Sound like a cougar too 😂
Did the narrating granny just say "Hasta la vista" at the end? 😂
Dot/drake wouldn't have escalated to violence ..Unless drake really that petty/hurt
He literally called himself "the petty king" on Omerta, what do you think?
WSC beefed hard with Cypress Hill back in the Day they had a few diss tracks
Grandma saying come on let's get it bro
Hip hop ain't dead
Ice Cube & Cypress Hill beef almost turned deadly. DJ Muggs told complex in 2013 “But it got to the point where Westside Connection would be playing at the Power Jam, and Mexicans were throwing bottles at them and shit. Real racial tension. They were on the radio talking, and B would call up on the radio, grab his gun, and drive down to the fuckin’ radio station looking for him. It got a little heated.” Also Solo knocked out Ice Cube and gave his Westside Connection chain to B-Real at a Cypress Hill show at the House Of Blues in Los Angels. B-Real showed the chain to the crowed and took a picture with the chain. There were also concerns that the beef would have neighborhoods, gangs and the black and brown race beefing with each other and there was also rumors that the Mexican mafia was getting involved
I can’t accept that from quest love considering he was the same guy playing the drums when jay z did the takeover on unplugged. Was hip hop dead then? Foh 🤦🏾♂️
This what they are talking about. Basically people fact checking shit that has nothing to do with who is better at moving the crowd. Wtf my kids got to do how good I can rap?
I can honestly say as some one who is old I'm split on it. its easy to look back on history and have 20/20 vision and say they shouldn't do it. Its hypocritical for us to say "shouldn't do this, lack of morality" etc, etc, etc, yadda, yadda, yadda when our generation of MC's did the exact same thing. Cube violated NWA (with good reason) LL Cool J ended Cannibus career before it got started.
The Drake/Kendrick issue was 10 years in the making. It was also, in my opinion, a battle to protect a culture that has been exploited and disrespected (mostly our own fault but that's another conversation). was there some exposure? Yes. Did some one get hurt? Yes but not due to the beef as much as Drake's wrong doings coming back to haunt him.
Is it necessary to be in a beef to be an great MC? Absolutely not. There's plenty of MC's who have never been in a beef.
"A battle to protect the culture"? 😂😂😂 bro put the drugs down. These are just two idiot's going at each other, that's it. It's not that deep... only media outlets and Kendrick, D riders are making this a bigger deal than it has to be.
I respect your take, including its reflection upon Hip-Hop history and acknowledgment that MCs don't have to have a beef to be legendary. I will ask though, is the way this got "real" a little different from how those past situations got real? Cause nobody likes when people die in a beef, and it's particularly painful to see it happen to the black community, but the way this Kendrick/Drake thing went down... it just seemed to get petty and unmanly to me, with the "gossipy" approach to battling (honestly, especially from Kendrick's side, even though he had the better music).
🤣🤣🤣 "A battle to protect the culture"? Nah, these are just two morons going at each other, it's not that deep, not that serious.
@@RuaTheRapoet that's how "rap beef" goes sometimes always has.
@@El_Fonzo You'll have to give me an example. When groups went at it before direct-dissing, it was just a competition of skills/moving the crowd. Then Moe Dee innovated direct dissing, but even then it was like "I'm better than you at rap." KRS did exaggerate MC Shan's claim when he dissed him (Shan never said it was all of Hip-Hop that started in the Bridge), and 2Pac was a lunatic who believed wild conspiracies of Biggie, but these too seem (to me) different from these present attacks. These present attacks seem more like, I'll straight up make up stuff about you and make it sound like I'm not even exaggerating, or the claim (e.g., pedophilia) is so drastic that even if it's an exaggeration we should cancel you.
Ice Cube is the same person who made No Vaseline before Hit Em Up that was the most disrespectful disses of all time. Nobody got hurt either. The irony of this is his eldest son clearly was in support of Kendrick Lamar even suggesting there was more from Kendrick Lamar
If you know the story of no Vaseline then you would understand why he did it. When he left NWA for financial reasons he was ridiculed and NWA was throwing all kind of shots at him so ice cube retaliated in the most vicious way possible
It's clear that you didn't think before posting this
People did get hurt when Ice Cube and his group Da Lench Mob fought Above The Law at the 1990 New Music Seminar. It was apart of the N.W.A & Ice Cube as Above The Law was signed to Eazy-E's label Ruthless Records
@@cjjohnson3827 wrong! Icecube started the beef on a show called "Pump It Up" hosted by Dee Barnes which got her slapped by Dr Dre
Icecube did get hurt at the New Music Seminar event by above the law for talking mess in the LA times about A.T.L
Bro who is talking on this?
Who is this??? Big Hutch aka Cold 187um from Above The Law. Him and his group was signed to Ruthless Records
It feels like I'm back in elementary school and the school's librarian is reading me a book
I feel like save this shit for battle rappers if you’re a mainstream rapper you shouldn’t be doing this man because the media only gonna gas it up man and I already know shit is about to get ugly when Kendrick drops his album and when Drake drops his album mark my words, something is about to reveal itself or something will happen bad I can sense it
It already happened 😂
Who knew Jay-Z and Nas were battle rappers... before they battled. And Common and Lupe, in their battles with Cube and Royce... some people may've not thought they could get vicious (verbally) like that. It comes down to any man who's tested needs to, if it's worthy competition, defend their turf.
Edit: Women too... no doubt MC Lyte, Roxanne Shante and others in the Roxanne wars, Azealia Banks and countless others have gotten it in on diss tracks.
Ooooh a new voice
I get that production can have the ability to make or break a song, BUT I gotta disagree, Pac used this beat perfectly. I don't even THINK about whether Luther sounds better or not, once the beat drops and you hear that, "first off..."
Kendrick Lamar Forever
Kendrick Lamar 4 Life
Quest love should of spoke with his music this is a revival of hip hop in the modern age. Out of touch with this beef he shouldnt comment if it aint ain't the music without anything constructive or informative
The N.W.A & Ice Cube got physical when Ice Cube and his group Da Lench Mob fought the group Above The Law at the 1990 New Music Seminar. Above The Law was signed to Eazy-E's label Ruthless Records
Cube & 'em even had a rap beef with Common
I agree with Cube, and he's actually BEEN in a beef. But Questlove? I don't trust his bonafides. I bet if Drake had won, he'd be singing a different tune. A lot of people in the hip-hop community are biased against Kdot because he's westcoast. Perhaps that's the conversation we need to be having: did the eastcoast/westcoast rivalry die with Pac and Big? Or is it still alive and well under the surface?
Domega & Questlove are right with the usual beefs 🎯 But this is Draaake? Finish Him! 💣
Came straight to the comments for the elephant in the room
No vaseline is still a really crazy song. 😊
Damn hiphopdx really hurting for workers. They hired someone grandma to read the script.
Hip hop is not dead. Yall got 3k views in a kouple hours...ppl wanta hear from Kendrixk n Drake....nobody wanta hear from the blogs or vlogs....it's UP
A medical doctor says he hates surgeries .
hiphop died when everybody took drake seriously as a real rapper, we saw the same thing happen with will smith - before that it was hammer...
Louder for the back pls 🗣️📢
It was positive back then. Right before 2pac started preaching bout fire arms being his idol/girlfriend always acting up when the camera rolls. With thug life stuff that poisoned the weak minded and the youth leaving it where it's at today. All of them pathetically trying to maintain their "hard" image.
But that's where you draw the line? Will Smith? Because his music is ghostwritten???
Mc Hammer? Because he got too commercial leaving half his peers jealous because of that?
@@nintendofannot4898 hiphop was always centered around struggle & difficulty, so the thug life mentality comes with it... i don't condone violence per se, but there was a code in hiphop where even the positve conscious rappers like a tribe called quest or de la soul (who are way better & far more respected in hiphop than will smith or hammer) rapped about their real lives... itz not about ghostwriters altho ur not the best if u don't write ur own lyrics, ghostwriters are cool for R&B or whatever but ur not the best rapper if those aren't ur actual words -the person who wrote those words is... but i didn't say anything about ghostwriters, u did... that shows ur inserurity, sounds like ur favorite rappers have ghostwriters... u already lost the argument if that's the case, LMAO... the real problem is when u have all of these suburban kids who act & lie as if they know real struggle when they don't, or how up & comin white artists use established black artists to build their credibility but don't put up & comin black artists on when they blow up... u also sound as if some rappers scare u, but just say that... nobody likes posers who act like they're something they're not, but i don't knock em if that's who they really are... true hiphop isn't for everybody, LOL.. if ur not who we think u are just be an actor, ain't no shame in it... but my last point is that real hiphop was created to represent the black experience in ameriKKKa & white folks always had a problem with that - still do... there are ppl who hate the fact that hiphop is black music & most of those ppl aren't black, but what else is new? there was a time when the only ppl who celebrated hiphop were blacks & puerto ricans, that's an actual fact... funny how u point out 1 of the biggest artists of all of recorded music, who just so happens to be black... most of drake's fans are looking for a light-skinned hero, same way most white boys champion eminem just because he's white (he's 1 of my favorites too, but even he admitted that white folks ride his dick simply because he's white)... they did the same exact thing to larry bird, they said he was the best simply because he was white... ameriKKKa has a problem with associating black ppl with greatness, SMH... maybe u targeted 2pac because he shot 2 off-duty cops who were beatin-up an unarmed black dude, who knows? artists like pac made hiphop competitive, where ppl knew they couldn't do what real rappers were doin... i get it, yall needed something that made u comfortable... u mention 2pac, but don't mention dear mama or brenda's gotta baby... but ur not biased right? LMAO
Nah, when everyone co signed Ross, that’s when it died.
@@nintendofannot4898 Yeah you're right. 2pac came before NWA and he single handedly invented gangster rap. Keep schooling us please.
No Vaseline is my top 5 favorite disstarck from Ice cube he murdered his own Rap Group NWA
I don't know about Quest's comment....i mean let's be real , hip hop is dead if everyone is on Drake's side because all he has ever done is mimic everyone that will get him a bag.....This beef was necessary to expose fake industry rappers against real rappers but with the way kids "act" these days , they're not going to pay attention to the real... Isn't that song "What They Do" the whole point of seeing fake shit for what it is? That song itself could be a low key Drake diss....
Kendrick rapping like he's bout to get the slaves freed. 🥲
exactly, u get it... What They Do is about everybody who reminds u of these cornball carbon-copy style-bitin suckas
@@bluecafe509 Once upon a time all of us was in chains. Homie still doubled down, calling us some slaves. 😔
Why did she let her grandmother narrate this?😂
I dont think hes saying he doesnt like diss track's, he hates when it escalates into irl violence he even says its part of the game
Quest love on the other hand, I think he truly hates it and not only the violence part
Exactly, cube is just on another wave length since he’s been there done that. Quest love be tripping tho
Quest love is right
All these old dudes is hypocrites ice cube had beef in real life and on wax with multiple rappers jay z told nas he skeeted on his daughter's car seat
@joeblow3317 They are not hypocrites. Ice Cube is talking as a grown, a intelligent, & a matured Blackman so his outlook or perspective or mentality or mindset is way different now at the age that he is at versus the age that he was years ago when he was in those hip hop beefs.
As you get older you are suppose to get wise (or wiser) and mature in your behavior and your way of thinking, unfortunately not all of us do. It is as simple as that.
I as a 44 years old Blackman i understand what Ice Cube is saying.
😱🐩🐕🦺
Comment
Hip hop is dead because of annoying Stan's and these moronic fan bases
Question love needs to sit his old ass down he's not relevant back in his day his group the roots had a phone call what they do criticizing the music industry and other rappers for not back
Ice Cube is just mad that Hit Em Up is way better than No Vaseline 🤷♀️
Grow up
Shut up Quest Love😂 your hip hop is dead cause this the most screen time you had in forever
i hate when old heads trying be so hypocrites. hip hop never dead wtf?! violence always exists cube act like the 80s/90s doesn’t have drug dealers or gang violence 1:1 pac even talk about that shit for 4 yrs before he made hit em up. Old heads gotta stop the hypocrisy it’s pathetic. New mainstream rappers are doing better. coz they given us 4 hit songs say what you want abt Drake vs K Dot beef being gossip/involving family members but they kept raw ab hip hop there no such thing as taken it too far. Beef is the art of battling who the better artist that’s it.
@sandro30th49 True indeed battling is apart the essence of hip hop, however i think that Cube is speaking more so on how a lot of these hip hop beefs that we have seen do not stay on songs or stay nonviolent but because deadly (and i am not even talking more so about the beef with 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G.).
These rappers when beefing will disrespect not only each other but the person that they are beefing with wife, children, mother, father, etc (no one is off limit). Kendrick & Drake were both throwing allegations at each other, without any proof, just hearsay, the mudslinging was just ridiculous.
I agree with Cube. But f&&& Questlove. Never liked him. First he talks s8&& about beef. Then he talked s9** about Hit Em Up. Questlove continues to talk s8&&. F*&& him and The Roots. Including Blackthought, who used to sneak diss West Coast rappers in What They Do song, etc. WEST COAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bruh what
@@fyoutube2294 its a troll
@dianevrules Be quiet Karen.
These old dudes are not the people to ask 😂 they got kids and families
