Yea but I know damn well that can't be Joe's reasoning considering all the people he supports & quite honestly i was never mad about Rocky's stance. It really was just worded badly

but he essentially said he doesn't talk about those kind of topics because he isn't well versed enough or impacted by them enough to put it in the music. It would come across as forced.

First Ish doesn't know songs on a diamond album.

and now Joe doesn't know who Shakur Stevenson is. Bad enough he's from Brick City.

to be fair to Ish I had no idea what one of those songs Joe was playing was

I hated that speakerboxx/love below album then & i haven't grown any fonder of it since

Yeah, I hated Andre's half, but those are two of the good songs on it for me. I think I liked 3 or 4 total.

I think Joe is the type of person to forget why he doesn’t like a person but continue to not like them. Let him run into Rocky out somewhere, have a convo with him, the next pod he’ll be like “I really like guy”.

I’ll never forget the way 50, introd Yayo. Was always dope to me, how when 50 got on..he almost immediately hyped his man as “next up”

Free Tony Yayo Shirts were viral. “Yayo coming home” on every tape.

I see why. After listening to a couple interviews, he solid. Hoffa had him hot for real

 

[steebie j]

Yayo needs a podcast

 

[wavycrocket]

Problem & Teefli…

Two of the most underrated out west.



Bruh had NT favorite Kady too. Also taking care of a special needs son. Shoutout to yo!

Henchman thought he could strong arm his way in the music industry and go legit, but the Pac situation sort of killed that. It ruined his rep from the start.

That's why I thought he was working for them people

and Game never explained it for me, because he should have had to answer for it. He already had your gang. You needed to get Henchmen to really get protection from 50? **** was weird.

I agree with Joe on this one. Playing a diss record ain't the same as sitting somebody down asking them about crimes. For as long as I been listening to hip hop it's always been a unwritten rule of let the record speak for itself. If you can't read between the lines then it ain't for you to know. One of those "If you know you know" situations.

A lot of times these _'s use records to vent, get some **** off their chest, whatever was on their mind at the time.

 

[a blinkin]

Idk man. In past episodes, Joe’s said he wouldn’t play a part in perpetuating the beef that happens within hip hop. Playing that song, and thereby shedding light on the situation, knowing that there’s real **** going on behind those lyrics, and people who stand to be offended/antagonized when they hear it being celebrated… stands to perpetuate the beef.

 

[6pac]

I was on Ice side before I actually listened to song in question. Ice would have more of a point if Don wasn’t so lyrical/clever and actually said specific locations/names/events like the typical drill dudes.

That being said I feel like Joe still would have acted the way he did if Don was name dropping and whatnot the way the drill/trap type rappers do.

The song in question saves Joe here but if Adam said verbatim Joe’s little spiel about “for all I care you ****** can shoot each other and die…” or whatever then Joe/Ice/Ish would have ate him alive lol.

 

[Magic33]

Part of the issue is that peoples beef also has a lot to do with public pressure. You're going to let him embarrass you like that? Talk about you like that? You aren't going to do anything?

It's not, are you going to hit the studio and respond back.

You might not think it's a big deal if you don't know the background and think it's just music.

This ain't playing Takeover or Back to Back.

This. Some of the people out there wildin don’t have the foresight to see how feeding into the public pressure can be to their detriment. It’s like school children who are ready to throw it all away because the other kids are going “ooooooooooouu” and pointing. We as grown men know there’s immense value in simply leaving a situation alone and living to see another day, but we also know some of these street dudes are still willing to die behind things that we’d deem trivial. Joe knows that, which is why he felt the need to respond so adamantly after being called out on his hypocrisy.

for me it depends on the diss record & what's going on behind it, Like nobody accused him of perpetuating violence or beef when he had a sit down with Pusha during the drake beef, because as they stated that was professional rap beef, the chances of things going to the streets were very minimal.

In the case of Don Q diss vs Tjay (the track HARD) it has already gone to the streets, Highbridge & whatever Block Tjay from already have real life issues. I have no idea if they had anything to do with homie getting shot but that is the narrative being pushed online. so the situation is already pretty flammable, Don q don't have the biggest buzz right now, especially with a-boogie playing low. So them playing that freestyle on the show definitely got it on the radar of mad people.

again RAPPERS SHOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT THE **** THEY SAY ON TRACKS, Don Q should have just left that **** be & not done a diss because it invites unnecessary attention but sometimes as the ****** who claim to know better you gotta protect the artist from themselves

Gotta love having a yayo in your corner.

Was trying to get a Free Yayo shirt in middle school.

I remember when 50 dropped a dvd around the time GRoDT was coming out and there was a short interview with Yayo in there. Always flying the Free Yayo banner. Fif definitely rode for G Unit and put all of them in position to grow and prosper. He understood his star power, but still put his team in position to win with him. Can’t say we see that too often (to that degree) in hip hop.

And (as I’m inclined to remind y’all every time Yayo comes up) Thoughts of a Predicate Felon is a classic album.

Dawg came in the game, and immediately put his whole squad on.

Although, 50 is an *******….I understand his disappointment. Literally led all them to the water.

Yayo made the most out of it, with the least talent…but was rewarded for his loyalty and playing his position. Banks was lazy. Game was a narcissist and ungrateful. Buck…well he just off .

But Yayo & Whoo Kid the only two, to really try and make moves once they got the rock.

 

[a blinkin]

Agreed. Banks my guy and it seems like he’s in a good space with his career now, but you couldn’t tell 14 year old me that he wasn’t going to be a bigger star than 50.

But I imagine Yayo is a rare case in hip hop. Dude seems to legitimately have no problem playing his position, and has no desire to be the big dog. Dude checked his ego from the jump and has been able to enjoy the ride for all this time because he isn’t bothered by his role.

Hahahaha would agree with you.

That’s one of the few things me and homie agrees on
