Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

[griff]

Jim Jones & Game linked up for Certified Gangstas back then too. That was my first time hearing and seeing Game

We wasn’t dressing like them ****** tho.

Bruh, one of my homies flew from Oakland to NY to visit family. First thing he did was hit up Harlem and picked up some air brushed Dipset shirts and fitteds to bring em back. That was the beginning of the hyphy era out here so most dudes had on graphic tall tees and baggy jeans with locs. But I ran with folks who liked to stand out. I was a fan of the Dips myself but never dressed like them.

Ed Hardy/Christian Audigier tees and Trues definitely gain popularity from Jim.

That whole era was crazy cause it was peak LRG Skeleton hoodie and then moved quickly to BAPE

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

First time I heard pause was when Jay said it on Can I Live. "To all my n's that say pause after some fkd up sht"

 

[king j]

Yea like wavycrocket said the Dips had a real movement, they def made noise in my city…Had dudes waiting for 40 Cal, Hell Rell and Un Kasa tapes …Folks thought JR was gonna be a star too

WASHED KING too young so he can’t speak on or understand what was going on back then but Dipset was def like that n bigger than NYC

WASHED KING ain’t jump off the porch yet,bruh was still hooping on lil tykes goal inside

Dude sounded like a bitter old guy with Rory and Mal. You’ve gotta be able to adapt in life or you’ll be obsolete. I think he’s at the point where he’s so afraid of the latter, that he’s ruining his chance to adapt and remain somewhat relevant.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

[rolaholic]

They blinked as soon as they met up with the label lawyers

Probably got told they'd be laughed out of court if they really brought it through

[raider5]

some of these drake fan accounts worry me with their reading abilities

since when did withdrawing with no further action/penalties mean coming out on top? please help our youth man…reading is fundamental.

my thinking was they’d expose what they did for him if this went to court would put his legacy in question

 

[rolaholic]

Lmaoooooooooooooooooooo

Dudes are the male Barbz

my thinking was they’d expose what they did for him if this went to court would put his legacy in question

Yea the fact they explicitly stated there was no settlement, Spotify didn't concede anything and UMG standing on their postion tells me boy's side probably bit off a lot more than they could chew, or prove in court, and didn't wanna take it further and add litigation L's on top of the cultural L
