Now that I’ve gone back and read this for the first time since it came out…. Wayne was really fukking trippin
First they set him up by saying he was responsible for Bape. Then the next question is “the clipse are saying dudes copying them wearing bape and coke rapping”
Wayne clearly says they ain’t talking bout me cause I don’t even rap about coke. Then proceeds to shyt on them and Pharrell for a good 15 questions. Then ends it with “y’all gonna get beef started asking these questions”
And proceeds to start beef. This is why rappers need media training. Same shyt Jim did. All he had to do was not say shyt or be like “not my problem” but nooooo.
I guess one thing that you’ve become known for is being a style trendsetter. You were rocking the BAPE on the cover of VIBE. Now it seems like all the rappers are starting to rock BAPE, so where are you trying to take it next fashionwise?
I don’t really do my thing. Because you getting interview and stuff saying this about a brand, and this is the new style, and then people are gonna read it and be like, this nikka thinks he’s a trendsetter. No. You do what you do, and you let them motherfukkers do it….I didn’t get in there and say nothing about BAPE in that interview, but that’s what y’all got from it.
Right.
That’s how I do it.
I’m sure you’ve heard The Clipse are coming back right now. And one of the things they’ve been saying is like ‘Yo, all these dudes, now they do the BAPE and coke rap… But before, that was us. We were the ones who started that.’ How do you feel about that?
I don’t rap about no coke. He ain’t talking about me. I don’t rap about no coke. I’ve been rich since I was 14 years old—off of selling records. I do not rap about no damn coke. If I say anything about coke, I speak the truth about it. I don’t go talking about I got none.
I ain’t got no bricks or I’m cooking up—for what? Why is you rapping then? If you cooking up coke what the fukk are you rapping for? Or why if you rapping, what the fukk are you cooking up coke for? Make some sense out of this shyt.
I guess because…
Stop talking bout ‘I guess.’ Stop tryin’ to make sense out of shyt that don’t make sense, dog. Stop trying to make sense out of shyt that don’t make sense. Why are you…Does that make you real for talking about coke, my nikka?
Nah, I’m not saying it makes you real…
No. I talk about the money I’ve made since I was 14 years old. I put out a fukking platinum album and reaped every dollar from it. Holla fukking back. A platinum album makes couple $15 million. Holla at ya boy. They gotta give me some of that 15 million, ya dig?
I feel you.
I was 14 when it happened, my nikka.
Okay.
Ya dig? I did it four times again after that, just on the charts. I ain’t gotta talk about no coke nor no fukking BAPEs. I got my own shoe out nikka, that OG collection Reebok nikka. I got my own jeans out nikka, W. Two Us, I’ve got my name—the W is gonna be on your bytch ass. Aight?
Okay.
Alright. Stop coming at me about that bullshyt man. That’s how you get beef started man.
Well you know XXL has the….
I don’t see nikkas like that. You talking to the best. Talk to me like you’re talking to the best. I don’t see no fukkin’ Clipse. Come on man. Weezy, man. They had to do a song with us to get hot, B. “What Happened To That Boy?” C’mon B. Don’t do that, dog. This is a fukking legend you’re talking to right here. 14 years, B. How many years them nikkas been around?
2000…
Who the fukk is Pharrell? Do you really respect him? That nikka wore BAPEs and y’all thought he was weird. I wore it and y’all thought it was hot. C’mon man. C’mon now. The nikka walked around with nikkas that looked like you, y’all thought he was crazy. If I did it, y’all gonna think these nikkas are killers.
[Laughs.] Okay…
C’mon man. Keep shyt real man.
I feel you. But you know XXL has you as part of the feature on cocaine rap? They have you as part of that.
I keep it real when I rap about cocaine. You can put me in because I keep it real. I’m gonna tell you what it’s about, what I know. I wouldn’t tell you nothing that’s fake. That’s probably why they’ve got me in there. I ain’t about to be in that bytch talkin’ about “I’m in the kitchen.” For what? For what?
…we’ve been discussing this shyt literally for decades at this point, and that particular wrinkle is indeed some retconned bullshyt that was never brought up prior to Ebro in ‘18 (feel free to use the internet machine and post 3 examples of it being mentioned before then on here or anywhere else)….and fan fiction aside, that’s besides the point, cause assuming that was even the case it still is nonsensical for Pusha to spend 20 years dissing people because their boss didn’t pay his boss for a song 20 years ago…all the while Pharrell continues to make songs with them
