Not only is he absolutely right he is supposed to let his nuts hang like that pause, these younger cats need to know their place.

Cube obliterated everyone in NWA…

Eazy caught it the worst.

Dre and others caught on later

Not Like Us is literally the number 1 rap song in the country three weeks straight. That shyt is the DEFINITION of “Ring Off”.

And Meet The Grahams isn’t any more gossipy than Ether or Hit Em Up. Hit Em Up’s claim to fame is Tupac claiming he fukked Faith, which we still don’t know if its true or not 25 years later.

The bytch In Yoo has more verifiable facts than any of them but Meet The Grahams literally neutralized Drake a mere 30 MINUTES after his own response. No matter how you slice it thats an all time impressive feat.
Man no. Whole different era but Hit Em Up is iconic nikka. U would be HARD PRESSED to find someone other than a pure Kendrick stan fukk with Not Like Us over that. Or Dre Day. That shyt just a straight up classic banger. Pac saying he fukked Faith is a FIRST HAND account. Completely different from what Kendrick was doing on Meet The Grahams. nikka knows none of that information first hand. It's the epitome of gossip. Nas had a LONG history with Jay and what was gossip in that? Tell me what was mostly gossip? I mean every diss is gonna have SOME gossip but Meet The Grahams(which is one of my favorite disses of the battle by the way) is nothing but gossip. Atleast Pusha provided proof with his shyt. And they STILL called him Pusha Tea afterwards. Lol.

Was Hov really in a karate class at 36 years old? I need to know in order to determine whether Ether was good or not...
:mjlol:

People really created all types of fabricated diss requirements to defend Aubrey. I have zero issue with ranking Not Like Us lower than No Vaseline and many other diss records. But like you said, given the way that shyt has rang off and how good it is...it deserves to be ranked on lists. We can put it low for now if people like but as the years go by it's gonna rise up the list. Will I ever put it above Ether or No Vaseline? Nope. But hell, a movie don't gotta be better than The Godfather to be great too.

Once upon a time, all of us was in chains
Homie still doubled down callin' us some slaves
Atlanta was the Mecca, buildin' railroads and trains

He could've went deeper but he knows the attention span and anti-intellectualism of the modern hip-hop listener would make it hard.

BEAR WITH ME YALL DONT SWITCH TO TIKTOK JUST YET :damn:

the ether
Nah i don't think Dre or Ren hears No Vaseline and is still stung in a way Jay is when he hears Ether.


Not to mention that a lot of the lines aged poorly.

Take away Interscope streaming manipulation and Not Like Us goes away. I have yet to hear anyone playing it in real life. I don’t live on the West Coast, so it’s not hitting like that. It’s a regional record.

All of sudden charts matter, but the numbers that Drake put up on non-diss tracks were called fake and didn’t mean anything :mjlol:

No Vaseline is a classic diss record that hit a lot harder.

Of course Kendrick fans are now going to jump out the window and call Ice Cube a c00n and bring up everything except rap music.

We do not know.
If cube wrote all.
or any of his solo records tho.


We also do not know.
if a cashmoney associated ghostwriter.
wrote by committee.

We do know nas wrote.
plus nas rewrote ether for dolo tho.

With no help.

In other words.

fukk cube for selling out.

Then trying to get back some props. From a battle that exists.
Solely because he rejuvenated fake gangsta rap as a draw. That put energy back into rnb production houses welled in the mca way. Plus recreated a writer by committee industry. When the pillar of emcee'n distinctly is against fake rapper with ghosts.
That brought about the conversion.
Of ol school way of thought ushered out by the new school way of thought.

So interscope is manipulating it?

Couldn't the same be said with UMG and drake? Or lemme guess, that's organic right? :heh:
