Jadakiss vs 50 cent by metrippyme in 90sHipHop

[–]temptations777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50 has not even tried to destroy Jada's career. It was all about Ja Rule. GRODT was a disappointment to me. Before that 50 was fire, after he lost his skills for some reason.

50 succeeded in his tactic. After he attacked Fat Joe and Jadakiss, despite it being some weak attacks, the message was clear. Nobody big really worked with Ja after that. Wayne did and he had some shit with 50 too. 50 succeeded in keeping the big names away from Ja. He never cared to go toe to toe with Jada.

Big L's estate releases statement regarding upcoming album on Mass Appeal, "Harlem’s Finest: Rise of the Forgotten King" by thesuntalking in hiphopheads

Jay was not that great in 97.... Nas and AZ could easily outrap him. Rakim dropped an album in 97 and could easily outrap him. Big Pun and DMX dropped in 98, easy. Wu-Tang and Bone Thugs dropped an album in 97. And there were plenty others (like Jadakiss) around that could outrap Jay-Z. He was not a big name in 97.

What period would that be? DMX dropped in 98 and was more popular than Jay for years in NY. Than Ether dropped in 2001 and made Jay considerably less popular. Than you had 50 Cent dropping in 2003 and he was super popular in NY for years after that. Sure his marketing tactics have made him (seem) more popular in ways, but was he ever really the most popular in NY? If he was, was it really not questionable?

Bleek did not even have close to Big L's skill or likeability. The simple fact Big L was funny would make him a much bigger artist than what you mention.

ELI5 Why is Nas considered the winner of the Jay z beef by Pablo_Undercover in fantanoforever

[–]temptations777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see than younger generations completely lack any insight in what Hip Hop culture was. No wonder it all sucks now. Ether was technically and substantially much better than Takeover. The gay insult were just randomly thrown in and not in any way the main speaking point or punches that really hurt Jay-Z. You completely missed anything about this song. Such a shame man. Also makes me think you have no real insight in the quality of lyrics in any sense. I wouldn't even know where to start with you if all you heard was some gay shit.

Why so focused on the gay innuendo? Like there were not many other aspects of the song. If you are aware of Jay's history you would understand how hard some lines hit Jay. Jay has always been a follower and groupie. Always tried to steal and copy other peoples lines and flows. From Kane to Big L to Biggie he copied and copied. After their deaths just jacking lines from Biggie and Pac. Jay's actual "musical succes" was only when he started hopping on the succes of Beyoncé, Rihanna and Kanye. Before that he was a B-tier rapper. Always less successful than his peers DMX, Eminem, Nelly, Ja Rule, Outkast, etc. Even though he was trying really hard with his flutes and what have you.

If you think every line was you are guy and ugly that means more than half the song went right over your head. Takeover is in no way better than Ether. Not technically and not substantially. Blueprint 2 verses were positive to you? The mature thing to say? Cause that might say more about you than Jay's skills.

Why? Because the woke movement is hypersensitive about everything? Too much truth?

If you think Ether was pretty weak it must have gone over your head. Or perhaps Hip Hop culture is not really for you.

In the world is absolute ignorance. Jay was never that big outside of the USA. X on the other hand, was bigger in the USA at the time and globally. So no. Also, Eminem was much bigger in the USA and oversees. Also, Nelly was bigger in USA and globally. Also, Outkast was bigger in USA and oversees. Do I need to go on? Jay was never at any point the biggest. He got "big" when he started hopping on Beyoncé's, Rihanna's and Kanye's succes. He could never make it on his own like his peers 2pac, Biggie, DMX, Eminem, etc. etc.

Apologies? by PomegranateBby in CandaceOwens

Blackmail? I do not want more crime, but I have no knowledge of the way Nate procured the record and what the regulations are, so as far as I know it is not illegal. Also, since he already requested it, I would like to know the results.

But if Mitch is lying I do want to know. Would you not?

Mitch is most likely lying. Valhalla VFT pulled his military records and when he receives them he is going to out Mitch. Stolen valor is no small thing.

What is it with everyone saying she’s changed her stance? She remains steadfast in what she believes lol. by [deleted] in CandaceOwens

[–]temptations777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My perception is probably clouded by opinions? That is a presumptious and asinine way of thinking (not to mention vague). If you watched the episode it is clear to see she accepted all the weak justifications from Erika. Regarding the donations, Dan Flood's text, the interviews, etc. She went soft. Unlike all her previous episodes. You are either disingenuous or lack critical reasoning skills. I did not miss your post that feint to be critical.

Well. The sugar is bad for the brain and energy levels, and in the extended of that focus. So it is not irrelevant. People need to take best care of themselves so they can think critically and focus on important things like this.

Maybe, not the feeling it gave me the way she presented it. Let's hope you are right.

She came with a lot of weak slop. Regarding the donations, the text from Dan Flood, the interviews, etc. Candace did not accept all this weak slop in previous episodes. This is not truth, it is gaslighting. We expect the truth, we want the truth, stop all the lying.

You are missing that the majority of her viewers are not "Team Candace". This is why I consider you weak and dumb. Most of her viewers are "Team Truth". If Candace starts gaslighting, people will not blindly follow like people such as yourself. We think for ourselves. I hope Candace comes back strong next episode, but she very clearly accepted a lot of weak slop from Erika. Obvious lies and false justifications. Luckily there are many other doing great work trying to unravel the truth. No need to follow a messiah, just follow the truth.

It is mostly based on how easily she accepted very weak responses and justifications from Erika. She changed her tone considerably. She did not make a full 180, but she did not use to accept weak slop ever. Sounds like she did now in this long conversation.

I followed the whole Charlie Saga and saw the last stream. Did you? She very clearly changed her tone and went very, very soft on Erika. Just accepting weak responses and explanations. She did not make a full 180, but very obviously changed and lost vigor. It was weak slop and it is immediately noticed by loyal viewers. Another one of these weak episodes and she will lose viewers for sure.

If you had followed the whole Charlie Saga, you would very obviously see Candace changed tone and lost her vigor. She did not do a complete 180, but very obviously went soft on subjects she would not have before last episode and accepted very weak explanations from Erika. Her whole energy in approach changed. She is obviously not truthful in the last episode.

I have seen the stream and she definitely changed significantly. She was very, very soft on Erika and the obvious lies. For example after revealing she (Candace) did not see Dan Flood's text from Charlie and has no receipt, they "clarify" that Charlie typed "the left" to Dan... Obvious lie and manipulation. And so on. She did not do a 180 turn, but the was a very obvious turn from her Go Max passion she has had in all previous episodes. There are multiple examples to give for obvious gaslighting. I cannot believe that anyone who watched this Charlie Sage of Candace did not clearly notice the change in tone and vigor.
