For anyone confused about the concept of Samurai by Lupe Fiasco being based around what would’ve happened if Amy Winehouse were a battle rapper, here’s the message she left Salaam Remi, about coming up with battle rap bars.
@WickedNFine
I feel like it's also projection on their part since the gossip bloggers opened themselves up to lawsuits, and they're secretly sweating bullets.
@702jwlucas
They murdered an innocent woman in her sleep at an address they weren’t even supposed to be at. They deserve to be held accountable, lose their jobs and face some kind of recourse for murdering an innocent woman. Go season some food.
@msdanifernandez
Yeah, hate watching something is still watching it, companies and whatnot aren’t tracking if people are watching a bad thing ironically. They just see it getting attention, and green light more stuff like that.
@NotDijahSB
It makes me think back to the time Redman and Method Man tried to prank Ludacris, by getting him to attempt to rap on a really bad beat, only to somehow miraculously find a pocket for it.
“Jalen Brunson’s listed as questionable
You see me with bad bitches at every festival
I’ve been an Impact Player like Justin Credible
But I’ll still kick a dumb muthafucka in the testicles”
@LilSexyCommie
Just so I’m able to keep track of things, he’s had altercations or incidents with Travis Scott, Dax, Megan Thee Stallion, Prince from Love & Hop, and August Alsina?
@WickedNFine
It’s weird, his fans were laser focused on Megan for supposedly not keeping her story straight, but had absolutely nothing to say about how much and how drastically Tory’s story kept changing up.
@LilSexyCommie
Yeah, and Eddie apologized all the way back in 1995. I will say though, it was super weird seeing people say that “Cancel culture” was trying to silence Eddie, when Eddie said a few years back that some of his old stand-up material makes him cringe.
@TheBaddestMitch
Basically there's been a bunch of weird bots or something, that've been quote tweeting random tweets, but posting photos about Pusha T doing freaky stuff with salamanders or whatever. It's really weird.
@angie_goodwood
@RVAReid
Yup, he was seemingly more concerned with trying to win in the court of public opinion than the courtroom, and it backfired spectacularly for him.
@BenTaylorP
@AndyRichter
But peaceful Muslim people actually make an effort to distance themselves from the batshit bonkers extremists. Meanwhile, conservatives seem cool with courting Nazis for the sake of votes.
Guapdad 4000 buying the domain name for Russ’ website to have it redirect to his video for “Lil Scammer That Could” featuring Denzel Curry is absolutely hilarious and ingenious.
@HVRVY
@EastRenaissance
I saw an interview with the battlers saying that they had a convo about how disrespectful they’d both get in the battle, the story about dude getting killed in the parking lot is a false story from the same website where the fake Nipsey/Jay story came from.
@Yassir_Lester
I think
@DavidDTSS
tweeted something awhile ago along the lines of saying how Guy gets paid to validate people and tell them that their dreams are dope. That made me regret ever making fun of him, dude seems cool with that kind of context.
@jemelehill
I was going to say, it feels like a lot of the discourse regarding trans athletes in women’s sports, is being dictated by dudes that’d otherwise only talk about women’s sports in negative terms.
@Tr1zz
I think G-Unit at their peak was bigger than DipSet at their peak, but the legacy of DipSet's overall catalogue has aged a little bit better than G-Unit's. Although if I'm not mistaken, in the very least, Come Home With Me went platinum.
@Skylinex13
@bigsnugga
Oh yeah, that's a really good point, I've seen stories about malls either instituting curfews very early on in the day, or just flat out not allowing teenagers to hang out there unsupervised.
@WickedNFine
It's so weird for a guy who's been a professional bridge burner for decades to be so concerned about whether or not someone else has burned bridges.
@AbdullahAlhasem
You still haven’t responded to making the wildly false statement that Pharrell was a one-hit wonder producer. Do you know how man fuckin’ hits Pharrell was responsible for as part of The Neptunes?
@tami3620
@JasMoneyRecords
@TonyaGJPrince
Taking ideological differences out of the equation, Boosie was completely off in that assessment for many reasons. Gay and trans aren’t the same thing, and trans people don’t automatically have medical procedures.
I need
@RuinYourDayNow
to do a star studded Pat Stay Forever WATCH stream, much like the Bender Forever WATCH stream, not only with watching back some classic Pat battles but also telling some awesome stories about Pat from over the years.
@nhoodpublicist
I mean, she changed the lyric to "Wake up in the morning like 'Fuck P. Diddy'" for live performances. I think she did it first at Coachella this year during Reneé Rapp's set.
@WickedNFine
The fact that he made a full song, that's over 4 minutes long, to respond to a single bar, while also being duller than watching beige paint dry, is certainly something. The deflecting says it all.
Clyburn on CNN: "I support Joe Biden. He is still in this race. He will be our nominee if he stays in the race ... if he were to change his mind, then I will change mine."
@WickedNFine
And on top of that, right before his trial got underway, he admitted in court to abusing his significant other for many years, yet that fact seems to fly under the radar for a lot of people.
Kudos to
@meghanncuniff
for breaking down the 45-page habeas petition filed by Tory Lanez. It's good to see real journalists putting in the work, and really breaking down court filings and such, in a way that's easy to understand even if you're not well versed in legal matters.
@WickedNFine
Oh yeah, they brought it on to themselves, and instead of just simply taking accountability for making a massive mistake, they just simply deflect and try to say that others were in the wrong.
@TheBaddestMitch
Also, shout out to
@andrejgee
and the other reporters at Rolling Stone, for their recent article on how the guy behind Fyre Fest has been trying to do outreach with Trump's campaign, in terms of getting endorsements from rappers. It's very bizarre.
@WesleyAdi
This sums it up. She was amplifying an anti-vaxxer/transphobic video from someone that admitted they had no medical background, and a celebrity of her status amplifying misinformation is dangerous.
The Lakers winning the NBA Finals this year for the first time in a decade, then the Dodgers winning the World Series for the first time since the year I was born, then
@IamMRMOSELY
is finally home? This is a magnificent run of great victories for Los Angeles!
@BenTaylorP
@AndyRichter
Nazis are terrible though, and it seems like conservatives haven't been making effective enough efforts to distance themselves from them.
@FoxxFiles
Yeah, he apologized for the gay jokes all the way back in 1995, he said he doesn’t look back fondly on Raw I think since he was fresh off a breakup, and people got mad about him saying that he doesn’t look back on that material fondly.
@BenTaylorP
@AndyRichter
I've seen plenty of good Muslim people IRL who have distanced themselves from the extremists that give them a bad names. Meanwhile, conservatives spent so much time courting Nazis that they can't afford to speak out against them.
Nah, frfr?! On the newest episode of A Waste Of Times with ItsTheReal,
@itsthereal
sat down for a conversation with the man who makes sure everybody’s eating in the animal kingdom,
@BrotherNature
!
@Vada_Fly
Keep in mind, his original lawyer even outlined in an email saying that she wasn’t going to represent him at trial, that she didn’t think it was a viable legal strategy to blame Megan’s friend for the shooting. His own ego was ultimately his downfall.
@NotDijahSB
Super hilarious for sure, and a testament to Ludacris' skill as a rapper for somehow being able to find a way to rap over a beat that's purposely meant to be impossible to rap over. And yeah, that "Single Ladies" beat is so odd when listening to the instrumental version.
@WickedNFine
Glo went about it the right way, she saw the response the original snippet got, she didn’t go on some rant about people trying to “cancel” her, she took the feedback and changed the lyric with no issues.
I'm glad Pat Stay was able to see just how massive of an impact he had on battle rap, from inspiring Drect to start Grind Time and kick the modern era of battle rap into high gear, to becoming one of the greatest KOTD Champions ever and plenty more. A true legend in this.
