Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

Cube yelled on that record hip hop started on the west. Clear shot at NY. You know that Flex.

They was saying "_'s rapped since the 70's and still never went gold" another shot at NY rappers.

That was a shot at Common, that was a diss song to Common slow one

That was a response to Common's song :lol:
 
We know that. So since you was 30 at that time, NY ain't feel a way when Cube said hip hop started in the West? That's not a diss to NY?

Why would anyone feel a type of way when something was factually untrue in a diss song directed towards someone else?

Just like Snoop didn't care about I Used To Love HER

I cant speak on Snoop, I was like 5 when Doggystyle Dropped. but I always heard his entry to the game was massive thanks to The Chronic features as well as the murder case.

I do have one question I been meaning to ask, like I said I was young during that time period, but as an artist how big was Ice Cube at that time? Like in terms of popularity what present day artist would you say he was on par with? As a kid he never really resonated with me and it seemed like he was pivoting into the films more so than the music, but as I got older I got to see his impact before the Hollywood stuff, but I never got to gauge how big of a rapper he was. Im 10 years old in 1998 my perception of him is greatly skewed.
I could be wrong, but would comparing Ice Cube to J Cole be accurate?
 
I think LL and Ice Cube are the two biggest artist who the younger generation will never understand how big they were. Instead they look at them like Ice T and Will, when they were far better and more respected rappers.

They belong in the same convo as Jay Z.

You could argue, cube is more impactful. LL too. Incredible talents.
