Jeezy & Gucci Mane Verzuz Battle

The moment we’ve been waiting for…

It’s no secret that Jeezy and Gucci Mane have had beef for 15 years. As you know, the two started out cool, hence their “So Icy” record. But that’s where the trouble started; Jeezy says he was never paid for the record, which is probably why he never showed up to perform the record with Gucci when it was first released. Matters got worst when Jeezy created a Gucci diss song, and “allegedly” put a hit out on Gucci. When Gucci realized his life was at stake, he shot back when approached by several men. One of the guys he shot was Jeezy’s friend. That let Gucci know that Jeezy set up the hit job and from then on, the beef became detrimental.

Gucci started out with his 2005 diss record towards Jeezy titled “Round 1”. It got real disrespectful because Gucci took shots at Jeezy’s dead friend Pookie Loc, who was the man Gucci shot during a failed hit job. Jeezy responded calm stating “I get it, I get it” and went about intro to introduce his first song on the first round. Once he finished, Gucci kept going with the shots by saying “that was cute” in regards to the record Jeezy played.

“Benchwarmers” – Gucci

“Trap or Die” – Jeezy

“Everythang” – Jeezy

Round 17:

‘Wasted” – Gucci

“Trap Star” – Jeezy

Round 18:

“Truth” – Gucci

This song was the biggest diss of the night because it mentioned Jeezy’s dead friend.

Jeezy had to check Gucci by saying he extended the invite because he’s a real man but Gucci’s still talking about old street stuff. Jeezy said they doing it for the culture and the younger generation and he shouted out King Von, Nipsey, Dough B, Mo3, and more.

“745” – Gucci

Round 21:

“Get the bag” – Gucci

“Thug Motivation 101” – Jeezy

Round 22:

“Bitch I might be”- Gucci

“Soul Survivor” – Jeezy

Round 23:

“East Atlanta 6” – Gucci

“J.E.E.Z.Y” – Jeezy

Round 24:

“Lemonade”- Gucci

“Welcome Back” – Jeezy

The coming to Jesus moment was when they played “So Icy” and that was the best non-shady moment of the night.

Gucci shouted out Jeezy and appreciates him extending the olive branch, and he ACCEPTED IT and he said it was all love.

THAT’S ALL WE WANTED GUCCI!!

Who do y’all think won the battle?

It’s Women’s History Month!!

March is dedicated to Women, specifically the history they’ve made. Women have came a long way from not being able to work, to having low-class jobs to being CEOs of companies. For black women, the struggle has been even more real. History is STILL being made with black women being the “first” to be in a high position of power. BUT it’s been said that Black Women are the top entrepreneurs AS WE SPEAK, and are continuing to grow!!

This month, I’ll be highlighting women who’ve made history or just women who simply need some shine.

Speaking of highlighting women, Paper Magazine released their cover for their March issue, which included Black Women in Hip Hop. It included interviews from artists such as Saweetie, Dreezy, Rico Nasty, City Girls, Yung Miami, Melii, Malibu Miitch, Bali Baby, Bri Steves, Kamaiyah, Cuban Doll and Asian Doll.

Wale, “It’s Complicated” & “Self-Promotion” EPs Back to Back

Wale has been on a roll with dropping these EPs (extended play) lately. In Mid March, he dropped the EP It’s Complicated that had 4 songs on it, including “Black Bonnie” featuring Jacquees, which I absolutely LOVE, it’s more slow melody EP. Then yesterday he dropped Self Promotion., which is more hip hop based with a splash of slow melody. Not only did he release these two EPs two months apart but he just released a whole album last April, Shine. I guess he figured, he gotta stay relevant and by that, he’s dropping back to back EPs.

I respect that he’s independent and that sound is different than other artists to me. There “may” be artists who have his same flow but I believe he is the first to do so with poetic words. It’s Wale’s delivery that makes his music different and as a artist/rapper, he can express his feelings in a poetic flow without sounding like a punk lol. 

What are your thoughts about Wale dropping these back to EPs?

Coachella Recap 2018

featured image: thatgrapejuice.net

Coachella was the talk of social media this past weekend ESPECIALLY Beyonce. She stole the show for the WHOLE WEEKEND, with her HBCU band, her reunion with Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams from Destinys Child and bringing her sister Solange on stage to kill it with her. Beyonce has the whole Beehive wanting to pledge Beta Delta Kappa, which is the sweatshirt she wore in the second picture. Fans drew the conclusion that Beyonce was a sorority and they wanted to pledge. The letters B-A-K were on her sweatshirt and it could mean B-Beyonce, A-symbolizing Delta, but could also be related to the Roc Nation sign, and the K-for Knowles.

Notorious BIG 21st Death Anniversary

featured image credit: mixcloud.com

Today marks the 21 years that the Notorious BIG was murdered in Los Angeles. His music continues to live on and murder case is still unsolved.

Lately, there has been a lot of Biggie unsolved murder series showing on television; from Biggie: The Life of Notorious, to Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and Notorious BIG to Oxygen network shows and plenty more, PLUS the movie that came out in 2009, which was a good film; but it’s a bit overwhelming. It’s like the network are blatantly trying to make money off the unsolved murder (including Tupac) and to me, reopening the wounds of his loved ones, like his mother, ex-wife and more importantly his children. I feel like the case could be handled out of the public without creating television shows about it. I appreciate the perspective but it’s becoming a bit too much. Overall, I hope the murder does get solved.

Some of Biggie’s hits are “Juicy”, “Hypnotize”, “Big Poppa”, “Party & Bullshit”, “Who Shot Ya”, “Mo Money Mo Problems” and several more. Use this day to play all your Biggie hits if you’re a hip hop fan.
