funny thing is wayne and birdman aren't even gangstas themselves.. i mean cmon wayne wears cheerleader shoes..
GOOD Music Vs. Young Money would be awesome. Who would step up for GOOD Music? Cudi and Kanye perhaps. Common, Cudi, Big Sean, Yeezy, Pusha, vs. Weezy, Birdman, Drake, YG, Nicki who's got the up. I can only imagine the disses taken at Nicki.
Battle wise the only artist from G.O.O.D. music that matter: Common, Pusha, Mos Def and believe it or not Cyhi(flame suit on for this one)
Ya'll are some real idiots you know that? These _'s are tryin' to get money with one another. Why the %%%% would they have a camp beef? The %%%% is goin' on with all these Battle Royale hypotheticals?
You sir, are an even bigger idiot. Do you know how profitable a camp beef would be? In 2012?! That's what we all want and that's what hip-hop/rap needs. Do Ford and Chevy do collabs? (rhetorical, idc if they do). Cars, cleaning products, computers, all their commercials take shots at other competing companies. Why? $$$$$
Why are you getting all sensitive? This whole thread everyone was saying how Drake needs to have Young Money jump in because hes too 'Canada Dry' to take on Common himself. So when a reporter asked Common what would happen under that circumstance what would Common do? He said he would get GOOD music involved. So I asked hypothetically who would have Common's back because obviously GOOD music isn't full of battlers. Music is an art/entertainment and this would just provide more. Now this would be good for music because the two biggest groups in the industry are going at each other. Have you seen the publicity of just Common's diss alone at Drake. Imagine if Yeezy and Weezy got involved. It would be great for music, business, and hip-hop and everyone especially hip-hop could use this. Compare it to the sports teams with the best record everyone pays top dollar to see them go head to head, and battle each other.
You care more about artists beefing over LITERALLY and EXPLICITLY NOTHING, than releasing music to progress their genre and evolve their craft? I don't know if its the time period or if we put the past on a higher pedestal than necessary, but this is getting stupid now...or i'm just getting older. That being said, Drake probably will never respond. Old heads will say he lost; the new school will say hes better anyways; internet fans will clamor for continued proverbial bloodshed in either direction. EDIT: Here is ANOTHER thing that irks me about the aforementioned argument...Why the hell do you care about their money? Unless they're cutting you a check in ANY form, I don't understand why fans get so caught up in the music business. You're a consumer of entertainment at the end of the day so who cares? Dudes are quick to defend what Forbes says about another man's pocket as if that magically puts money in their pockets or allows them to even hang out on a tour bus with these dudes. . You gotta love the marketing of these entertainment outfits. They really make fans think that they matter more than they probably do.
Drake not responding makes original hip hop look bad, then it shows how the game really changed. you can all thank Drake for destroying the true art form of competition and making sappy love songs. every once in a while Hip Hop needs a beef to spark interest, it's been a dry spell lately because collabs are now the hottest thing in the market. i actually wanted this beef to go down .
I understand what you are saying, but I remember when 50 Cent was the @@@ and him going at Ja and a new rapper every week led to excitement and good music. The fact that good raps will NOT come out of this really disappoints. This saying old school 50 was a monster when it came down to luring people in and battling them. I just want someone to put Drake in his place. Could care less about what happens.
This is the problem I have...in fact, I really don't even understand how one can reach these sorts of conclusions. I'm not even trying to defend drake because there are so many others this argument could be used against, so much as I'm trying to expose the hypocrisy in this statement. Are you seriously saying that: A. Love songs are bad for hip-hop? B. Drake is the sole cause for this? C. Disputes are better than focusing on releasing good music? If nothing else, it shows that rap music, like all other forms of music, EVOLVES. How anyone can deny that we aren't listening to ballads from the 50s anymore is beyond me.
