Long story short: The Source lost all credibility and investors.
Eminem responded with some of the greatest one-sided diss tracks ever recorded: “Nail in the Coffin” remains endlessly quotable and hilarious. Zino questioned Em’s place in the culture and tried to pull up tapes of the teenage rapper saying the N-word. Its unquestioned authority received a serious blow in 2002, when Benzino (a middling rapper, editor and conflict of interest) used his influence inside the office to launch an all-out attack on the world’s biggest artist at the time, Eminem. The Source was the Bible the magazine’s five-mic review of Illmatic is just as important to Nas’ story as the actual music. Later, Jeezy would describe the whole thing as a “misunderstanding” but would also refer to Gucci as “retarded.” But Gucci went rogue, as he does, and recorded a song called “Worst Enemy.” By 2010, their respective camps were fighting at Walter’s Clothing in Atlanta.
After years of volleys and a splinter beef involving DJ Drama, the two MCs settled up, supposedly recording a couple of songs together. Gucci was blamed, then acquitted, having acted in self-defense. Things happen, right? Jeezy’s calm response was to offer to “cremate that motherfucker” on “Stay Strapped.” In 2005, Pookie Loc, a Jeezy associate, was murdered. Two friends, one track, except - ah, right - Gucci took the track and put it on his own project…which meant Jeezy couldn’t use it.
Great rule of thumb: don’t do business with a crazy person! In 2005, Jeezy was prepping his debut album, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101, which included “”Icy,” a dripped-out team-up with Gucci. Here’s our definitive countdown, ranging from the deeply silly to the all-too-serious:Įvery Super Bowl Halftime Show, Ranked From Worst to Best Still, it got us thinking about the topic. But the feud has existed mostly on Twitter, unfolding too slowly for today’s need-it-now appetite, so it probably won’t end up as one of the greatest rap beefs of all time. Drake did put out a couple of pretty good responses, including “Back to Back” where he mockingly asks, “Is that a world tour or your girl’s tour?” in reference to Meek’s opening slot on fiancé Nicki Minaj’s current run of dates. This “beef” hasn’t exactly ignited hip-hop fans. (Perhaps more importantly, Drake hadn’t tweeted in support of said album.) The Maybach Music Group artist was upset that his supposed friend Drake had perhaps used a ghostwriter for some verses, including “R.I.C.O.” from Meek’s latest album, Dreams Worth More Than Money. The road to redemption has been hard to say the least for T.I., but hopefully this stint back to jail will teach him a lesson.Last night, after a week of silence, Meek Mill finally released a response to the beef he had started with Drake, which ends with a mention of T.I.’s friend urinating on the Toronto rapper-crooner. Hey yall #teamTI will be holding me down on this front with updates until I return. He took to his twitter to thank his fans for all their support during this troubling time. will report to Forrest City prison in Arkansas tomorrow to begin serving an 11-month jail sentence. Could she be talking about the Queen B? So.we feelin' it? "I'm starting to feel like a dungeon dragon/Look at my show footage how these girls be spazzin', Wha the f*ck I look like gettin' back to a has-been/Yeah I said it.Has Been/Hang it Up.Flat Screen" Listen to Eminem go head-to-head with Nicki's alter ego, Roman Zolanski, on this Swizz Beatz produced track "Roman's Revenge."
#Ti and eminem songs plus#
Plus read T.I.'s last tweets to his fans before he hits the slammer tomorrow. We have her latest single "Roman's Revenge" featuring Eminem, where she indirectly takes shots at other female rappers (**cough** Lil Kim). Well stans and barbies, and those un-impressed by said stans and barbies, the time is approaching for the release of Nicki Minaj's album Pink Friday, which hits stores November 21st.
