Pusha T has generated the type of buzz that will build anticipation for an album. HipHopDX reported that Pusha is getting ready to drop his new album and in prep, shared the possible cover art via Instagram. This reveal has fans asking, “why did pusha t put coke on lana del rey face?”

A clip of a link up was shared showing Pusha rapping while his manager, Kanye West, and Justin LaBoy engaged in a lituation. Also sparking conversation was the attendance of West’s new flame, Julia Fox.

Pusha T’s  manager, Steven kept the clips coming which showed the Pusha rapping about the infamous “white girl.” “Snow’s a must, the nose adjust/Young G’s like we Hov and Puff,” he rhymed. These famous lyrics showcase his appreciation for the Notorious BIG’s verse on Young G’s. This classic Puff Daddy production features Notorious B.I.G and Jay Z.

Bringing back an old school rap feel, he raps “Didn’t have to reinvent the will, just a better design/Critics is out of his mind, haters is out of his mind/Yet, always where the money’s at,”

 

Is this an antic to “Push P”

The picture shows a hill of cocaine planted over Lana Del Rey’s face. This isn’t the first time Pusha has caused some upheaval in the cocaina domain. King Push along with Kanye West equals a wild ride. The two and their link ups have produced interesting moments that some call questionable.

A deemed “disgusting” photo of Whitney Houston’s bathroom was used an the album cover for Pusha T’s album Daytona. Ye, who produced the entirety of the album, was in charge of the cover art. The Whitney Houston estate and her ex-husband, Bobby Brown, expressed their distain for the careless decision. The photo was however, changed at the last minute.

Varity gave insight into the matter and quoted Brown, “Kanye needs somebody to slap him up or something, and I’m just the person to do it.”

Could this be an effort to encourage album streams? It is obvious we now need answers to the correlation of the photo. Perhaps it is a connection to Del Rey’s previous drug and alcohol addictions. Then, there’s the obvious connection of white girl being the street name for cocaine. Either way, you have our attention King Push, we need answers.

Want to know how Pusha T almost missed his studio session for Kanye’s My Dark Twisted Fantasy?

Fat Joe Reflects On The Decades Long East vs. West Coast Beef

Fat Joe
Fat Joe

The Bronx legend Fat Joe expanded on an enlightening conversation with Minister Farrakhan during the height of the regional war.

Walking down memory lane

Fat Joe stepped on the music scene in 1993 and has since acquired 28 years of music and business acumen. Being in the game for so long, he has an inside perspective of politics within the rap industry. He gave a peek into those politics earlier this week (Dec. 21) during an interview with Big U on the Checc’n In Podcast.

According to Joe, he played a role in ending the prolific rivalry between the East and West Coast. This long-standing beef had violent consequences in the 1990’s rap scene particularly. During the height of this conflict, Joe and a number of other rappers sat down with civil rights activist Minister Farrakhan to discuss the issue. He claims a side conversation occurred between him and Ice Cube, demanding he play a bigger role in ending the beef.

The East vs. the West

While tensions between East and West coast rappers had been bubbling for years, it came to a head after the 1996-1997 deaths of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. To this day there are differing accounts between rappers old enough to experience the feud in real-time. Some insist the hate between the two regions was real, meanwhile, some maintain the problems were exaggerated by the media.

“You should have been the n*gga tryin’ to bring the peace. That’s what I was trying to tell him,” he stated. “Everybody loves you, you could have set this sh*t up and squashed this.”

He recounted him and Inglewood rapper Mack 10 having mutual respect and interest in spreading positivity.

“From there, that showed people that New York and L.A. could work together, and we became a bond, and we was doing videos together and working,” he said. Additionally, he added: “I would like to say that eased the tension between the east coast and west coast. It needed something like that; a Fat Joe, Mack 10, and everybody start working with each other, showing brotherhood and unity.”

Memphis Rapper Duke Deuce Thinks Rap Beef Is “Inevitable”

Duke Deuce shared his belief that rap beef disrupts personal growth. Fellow rapper Trapboy Freddy seemed to agree to disagree. He shared, “1,000,000 but unfortunately U can’t stop it when it knocks at your door,” which came in response to Deuce’s comment on Instagram.

Duke Deuce hails from Memphis, Tennessee. As many mourn the death of Memphis rapper Young Dolph. Deuce’s outpour of emotion toward rap beef comes a time of healing for anyone affected.

Among other rappers who are vocal about beef is Wiz Khalifa. Khalifa recently shared via Twitter, calling for an end to the disrespect of others, not only rappers, in the Hip Hop industry. His allegiance to “significant others” is a point many have yet to touch on. The industry’s “pass arounds” have been underlying issues and cause dormant hate amongst rap peers.

With the recent deaths of Young Dolph and Drakeo The Ruler, a shift in the rap matrix has become unsettling. Both cases are unsolved at this moment and are still under investigation.

Rap beef has existed as long as rap. It has claimed the lives of rap greats like Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. This is notably one of the most publicized and effective moments in history. It shook many and has lasting effects, even today.

Ending the beef

As a result of ending beef, rappers like Meek Mill and Drake have produced great music inspirational to fans. Recently, Drake and Kanye West ended their long-standing feud. This solidified a historical concert for the “Free Larry Hoover Benefit.”

As Deuce mentioned, beef is inevitable, but the call for rappers to respect each other is a step in the right direction.

Mob James Speaks Out on Who Shot Biggie

Mob James, ex-Suge Knight’s capo, unresolved the mystery of Biggie’s murder. Mob went on VLADTV and revealed his insights on the notorious shooting in 1997; James thinks “Poochie” fired the shots.

“Poochie” is Bloods member and Suge Knight’s associate Wardell “Poochie” Fouse. Someone shot Poochie in the back in 2003 while motorcycling in Compton. Mob James described Biggie’s shooter as “a hitter for real, for real.” He also thinks, “Everybody at Death Row (Suge Knight’s label) had a certain talent, was a certain kind of way. Some cats had no talent whatsoever, some cats was in the fam for the paper, and the money was good, doing certain things.”

Diddy’s former bodyguard also brought another theory on The Notorious B.I.G.’s murder. In the same VLADTV clip, Gene Deal, the bodyguard, has assumed that some man in the bow tie pulled the trigger. Mob James responded: “Gene wasn’t there. Gene can’t say he seen the dude pulling the trigger. He just say he remembers seeing this guy with a bow tie around — and that’s his truth. He did see this. But that don’t say that that’s the man who did it.”

Previous Accusations

Biggie’s murder happened in 1997. It’s not the first time Poochie is being a case suspect. Previously, retired LAPD detective Greg Kading is supporting Mob James’s theory and already claimed Christopher Wallace had been shot by Wardell Fouse. Kading’s theory is: “Suge Knight hired Poochie via his girlfriend, “Theresa Swann,” to kill Wallace to avenge the death of Shakur, who, Kading alleges, was killed under the orders of Sean Combs.” However, to this day, the case remains unresolved.

Biggie’s death might still be a mystery. However, his legendary status is unmistakable and unquestionable. He recently was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Be sure to read more about it by clicking the link.
