I watched the video. He said he didn’t like the beats that Roc gave him. He said Roc didn’t have anything to do with the creation of the album (aside from giving him the beats). He said Roc heard the album after it was done. He said that the input that Roc did give him (take the hook off the first song) he rejected. He said he wants to do more melodic shyt. He gave Roc props at the end for being a pioneer of the sound.
It’s abundantly clear that Stove doesn’t want to rap over Roc’s beats or make the kind of music Roc makes. I don’t see them working on another album together in the future. I chalk it up to creative differences. Stove toed the line of disrespect with the way he spoke on Roc.
exactly. I don't get how there is confusion here or people downplaying. Whats that cliche they teach kindergartners..."if you don't have anything nice to say; don't say it all"
Artists view their works like babies. Why you think when Nas said "Hip-Hop is dead" a LOT of people caught feelings. When you speak on somebody else you can't decide how they're going to interpret, feel, and respond. So if you can't handle that then don't speak on nobody but yourself.
His association with Roc is what made people give him a shot. Let's not play dumb.
^^Roc gave stovegod a big look. Even if they have creative difference and that's how he really feels; it would have been a lot more mature, respectful, and professional to just shoutout Roc and pay homage and move on to the next question. Shoulda kept that shyt to himself. There have been plenty of "beefs" in hip-hop that started by someone saying you don't fukk with someones beats or bars in hip-hop. Its a dumb move since Roc and Stove essentially have the same fanbase anyway; and one has way more clout than the other.
