We gotta be the most demanding type of fans. He created a billion dollar business in just five years but fuck that we want detox. He must think "wtf I cant win".

You people realize that his company is in Norway right?

I would love to hear those studio sessions. Not even what's coming out of the speakers. Just to see the competitive nature of every single one of them.

This is the type of stuff mainstream media picks up and runs with. Dre and Cube better make it right before mainstream america who doesn't know about there beloved classics start only associating them with this.

I really really like this generation of hip hop and it's fans but one thing I will never get is why we pay so much attention to sales.

"Be careful of the things you say about the Wayne and Baby situation. Because Baby will forgive Wayne for the things that he's saying. And Wayne will forgive Baby for the things that he's saying. But they may not forgive you." -50 Cent

What about Straight Outta Compton was Award worthy?

When this docuent came out, what, 10-15 years ago? Initially everybody had there eyebrows raised, however it came out that NYPD put out the order of protection for him. Hip Hop fans went through this already. I know they are probably to old to be on the blogs and such but what I am saying is true. This stuff is old news, I dont have a dog in this fight.

Better late then never. Welcome to the party Meek. Shit is fire, forget about who has the momentum.

Pablo Picasso. "I feel like Pablo, when I am working on my shoes/ I feel Like Pablo when I am working on my house"/   Has to be about Pablo Picasso.

It is unfathomable too me as to how you don't let Paul McCartney into a party.   This would be like not letting 2pac and Biggie into a party if they were still alive. This is insanity.

What the hell! That sounded way doper. That sounds like something a person with a penis could actually be unashamed of playing in a car.

Mad City

Well this sounds like a terrible idea.

Scream no snitching and child hood heroes and favorite rappers don't get justice. Can't have it both ways.

He probably should have kept these comments to the members of his crew. TI isn't afraid of Floyd Mayweather what makes him think hes going to get away with this?

The truth is western culture has this f***** up, using and the way we tackle prevention are wrong. Kids dont respond to "just say no". Kids dont realize that starting early and using alcohol or weed actually does lead to harder shit. Not everyone has the same brain. Some of us our more susceptible then others. Its hard to realize that at 16. We need a different approach. That Nancy Reagan shit isnt going to fly.

"We really thought you might have been done so we just left you to die" I really hope there is some exaggeration and humour in this.

I actually kind of think that the new generation would like the Gorillaz. Don't know why just do. Go listen to some Gorillaz young people.

The issue was being called a "bitch".

The truth is MIA has been solid in the underground. All of her stuff is usually critically acclaimed. Paper Planes was just that single from the album that reached across into the mainstream.

Say what you want about this era. I am not from it. But at least bullshit like The Dream Chasers aren't bought from these kids man. I know in other eras admittedly Meek would be able to fake his way in. I dont understand everything these kids do. But at least they have enough sense to not cosign this bs.

I am glad they did Shawty Lo right. We have a tendency in death to idealize people and build this character that the deceased really wasn't. You end up taking away from the real soul of that person. Nothing wrong with the way Shorty lived as long it was victimless. RIP L-O

The only thing off limits in Hip Hop are kids. End of story. I am not a Drake stan but I cannot stand idly by while Twitter is allowed to change the rules of some sacred s***. As someome who suffers from depression and has empathy for what Cudi is going through, he will get his shot when the time is right. Because everyone has that right in Hip Hop. This butthurtness about Cudi being kick3d when hes down is such a joke.

Thats nothing when you have 400 million dollar deals like Soulja Boy has. Right Soulja Boy? lol

You people bringing up 50's paper work against Murder Inc need to understand that the NYPD put out that order of protection in 50 cents name. The issue was deaded last decade and for some reason people try to bring it up like its fact for reasons probably attributed to Irv Gotti but the issue has been done.

"Talk to me like a man" like I am doing from this stage and through the headlines that I know I am creating with the temper Tantrum.

Hotnewhiphop reviews are a great example as an argument for the uppity culture that is Music Reviewing. Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Spin whether you agree or like these publications or not at the very least write like real writers.

Em finna spaz

Ahh about as forward thinking as opening fire in a concert venue in privacy prohibited 2017.

Freeway didn't insert himself into things that were out of his control. Given all of the past tensions that Jay-z has had with former business partners that seem to only be in hip hop for some reason, its clear he stays true to those who stayed true to him. Freeway was with rhyme-sayers before, this cant be a money grab.   Applause.

"Officer Ricky" as you so unbiasedly put it is the only one with balls big enough to go after Birdman. If Birdman was White and Jewish he might be dead or run out of the game by now as history tells us rappers have little patience for white bread label heads. And for a culture that so viciously pretends to hate pedophiles I don't see anybody else speaking up in here (Hip Hop) either. You think pretty highly of yourself if you don't think calling "Officer Ricky" is some punk shit.

I am guessing the insane price is due to not being with a nike or under armour. A manufacturer needs to know they are going to at least recoup costs and sell thousands or 10s of thousands of shoes. This whole thing is all wrong. At the end of the day it's going to Lonzo's game and not his dads mouth that makes him marketable off the coyet. But I am sure his dad will take credit if that happens anyway. Dude needs to get on with his career and life without pops.

So The Carter is a classic now just because we couldn't honestly give him one during his career? The Carter isn't The Documentary, in hindsight its still not a classic. Stop It.

peak of the Aftermath empire*

This country is insane....how the f*** are the pats responsible? They did the right thing by cutting ties with him and no further promoting him...now they have to pay for his mistakes?

Before you all blame the victim remember PAC never played this shit.

This is poorly written. I feel like I am reading a 10th grade essay on who the authors hero is.

I never understood why some african Americans think that dreadlocks are exclusively a black thing. Dreadlocks have been around for millennia in all races.

Kind of surprised how many people think this is a no contest. Makes me think they didn’t hear that D12 album. Those Detroit dudes that grew up in the 90s battle scene had bars.

“Meeks luck with the law has been pretty good this year so something tells me he won’t be heading back to prison.” Lol....great logic.

If I hear another Eminem and Skylar Grey Collaboration I am going to cut off both of my ears.

When keeping it real goes wrong.

Damn....Em and Fifty need to give Banks a fucking call.

Claims daughter is being held against her will without proof. Says that injustice isn’t being covered because it’s on one end of the race spectrum and not the other. Proceeds to use Bill Cosby as example of justice. LOL

I'll just leave this here for you Devin. stern1 | stərn | adjective (of a person or their manner) serious and unrelenting, especially in the assertion of authority and exercise of discipline: a smile transformed his stern face | Mama looked stern.

The content of this diss is great, the rhyme scheme is simple relative to eminem. The mood of eminem's last album forces him to HAVE to respond. Eminem cannot not respond after his last album. So we as fans, wait patiently. This is going to be fun.

50 is HUGE in Europe.

No one has been more important to Hip Hop than Dre. That's why I don't take top 5's seriously. The most influential and important person is behind the boards.

Wow, someone who is actually rational about the situation.

Honestly, it’s kind of weird that ppl care so much about the legal things ppl do in their bedroom.

Eminem arguably became a legend because they tried cancelling him. I can’t imagine albums one and two with America being up in arms about the motherfucker.

I’m trying to imagine myself angry about a black women with blonde hair. Trying. Hm. Nope, can’t do it.

Where are the “mmmm something fishy is here” folks? Lol. I feel for his parents.

Why is Europe importing our garbage? Go learn how to box or some shit.

It always amazes people with people talk about death row, cash money, bad boy etc that they forget Aftermath. Aftermath from 97-07 would have smashed any rap dynasty in history and it’s not close.

People outside of the U.S tend do this and don’t realize just how Americanized they are. You see this with Europeans as well and usually it’s coming from a place of arrogance. Look at the photo; the man’s chain, glasses, and kicks are all a product of American culture. His effing style when he raps is American.

Yo. I think you guys can get rid of the dick pic article while this is happening. There will be future opportunities where celebrities will have pictures of their dick leaked that you can take advantage. The man’s child just died. There is absolutely no bottom too deep is there?

Who cares about the streets when he’s the one his son wants to play catch with.

Versuz is so corny.
