Guapo.

Fam Vegeta was getting his ass whooped all across Namek

Jay Z speaks on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, saying he almost wishes it "never happened", doesn't "love" how people are now treating Drake, and how social media stans ruin rap beef: [What did you think of the 2024 back-and-forth?] "We love the excitement and I love the sparring, but in this day and age, there's so much negative stuff that comes with it that you almost wish it didn't happen." [Really?] "Now, people that like Kendrick hate Drake, no matter what he makes. It’s like an attack on his character. I don't know if I love that. I don’t know if it’s helpful to our growth where the fallout lands, especially on social media." [The Stan armies fighting?] It's too far. It's bringing peoples kids in it. I don't like that. I sound like the old guy wagging his finger, but I think we can achieve the same thing, as far as sparring with music, with collaborations more so than breaking the whole thing apart. It could stand it before because there was no social media. You had the battle and it was fun and then you moved on. Right now, I don’t know if it could stand it with the technology that we have.

The bad consequences of these beef is that you niggas can’t even grasp both concepts and see them as they are ,its like all the things should be about picking a side although you criticism is valid but your thinking revolves around the beef too much

Jay Z to say this about rap beef after Kendrick and Drake is hilarious. Cuz it's been the most tame fallout. It just sounds like he trying save the investment of the genre lol

JAŸ-Z is right about stan culture getting out of control, but that’s not a reason to abandon Hip Hop’s core elements. Not that I give a fuck because this is the internet, but I know firsthand what it’s like to be attacked over my physical appearance, people trying to dox me, sending me death threats in my email, instead of people proving me wrong. The real issue is accountability! Niggas need to take accountability for the things that they do and the issues they put into the universe but instead, we’re watching two HALF WHITES (y’all got mad when I said it yesterday so let’s say it again) rewrite battle rules in real time, while their parasocial fans harass, dox, and deflect. Battle rap is the last core element standing. We don’t need less of the culture, we need to build those elements back up!

I think yall are purposely misinterpreting what JAY-Z said. He’s looking at rap battles today from a realist perspective, not an idealistic one. What he said was fair. With the heightened infiltration of bots + cult like stan cultures in hip hop, the fun is long gone.

JAY-Z responds to claims that he chose Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl as a move to undermine Drake: “I chose the guy that was having a monster year, it wasn't in some sort of alliance to a battle... Like what? I’m f*cking Jay-Z.” (via GQ)

Cole dissing Noname is one of the longest running Twitter lies.

JAY-Z says the Kendrick Lamar / Drake beef went too far and admits he “almost wishes” it didn’t happen: "In this day and age, it's so much negative stuff that comes with it ,that you almost wish it didn't happen." "I don't know if battling needs to be part of the culture anymore." (via GQ)

Twitter is less fun because you can no longer tell who is naturally dumb and who is trying to make rent from ragebait
