Did you just awaken from a coma? The rules of hip hop haven't been followed for 20 years. SMACK is a business not an acronym. They don't have nikkas battling on the corner free anymore. Math fukked up their business along with Swave and Daylyt. Prez only hurt himself. They're not here to be the gatekeepers of a culture.
You know why rappers didn't turn on Drake? They didn't say shyt because half of them have used ghostwriters themselves. There is no purity.
If it was about the culture everyone would show up prepared with 3 rounds, no one would take battles just for the check, Rex wouldn't be using mixtape verses, and there wouldn't be all these disputes over money. You can't talk about culture once you've become a commodity.
Prez fukked up now let him deal with it on stage. Everyone has an angle on him so it makes it interesting. Beasley didn't agree but he just battled on URL. Nobody booed him either so the fans didn't turn on him.
I bet Beasley got off his high horse once he saw the crowd fukking with him. He's getting booked again so you can not watch his battles if you feel that strongly about it.
First off, Drake has a whole machine behind him with millions invested in his success. You really tryna ignore that big part of the reason why nikkas don't go at that nikka neck, aaight..
Drake clearly won the battle, but go to the booth most nikkas that follow the culture agree that no matter how huge the L is Meek took, he won the war. Because Drake has lost that which he has been referencing throughout his whole career.
The RESPECT..
His name will always be attached to Ghostwriting which is a L in the longrun.
That has nothing to do with Money or Business.
To be in that Top5, Top10, Top20.
That's what emcees strive for.
Disagree with me all you want, his bars do the talking for me.
And I'm not talking about all rappers.
Because you got nikkas like Lil yaghty that clearly don't give a fukk about the culture. That's cool.
They are not the nikkas I'm referring too.
I'm talking bout a select few nikkas in it like Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, nikkas in it for the respect.
You got Kendrick throwing darts at nikkas having ghostwriters cause he's clearly about the art.
Rex got the backlash when people were seein his mixtape verses, ignore that if you want.
That doesn't mean nikkas automatically stop fukkin with Rex.
How does that make sense?
If it's hot it's hot.
Just like Drake could still have a successful career as long as he keeps dropping hits.
Bet you won't catch him in all these legends Top5
SMACK is the acronym first, any nikka that followed the DVD era knows this.
Smack was in the trenches, It became a business
Beasley, the owner of URL said he didn't agree on Prez coming back.
Does this mean they (multiple owners of 1 business) would automatically stop booking Prez?
Ofcourse not, it's a business.
I didn't say that either.
They obviously made their decision for the money.
But like I said, ask Beasley his personal opinion from a cultural standpoint (which they did YESTERDAY ON AFR) and he'll tell you exactly the same as I said (IT'S IN THE AFR INTERVIEW)
So you can disagree all you want, the facts are there (IN THE AFR INTERVIEW)
I ain't gonna go back n forth with you about it either fam.
The facts to back up what I said are out there.
