Pusha T vs. Lil Wayne Beef

What is Hip Hop without a beef or two?  This time around it is Lil Wayne vs. The Clipse.  Wait! Before you think that this beef is brand spanking new…it’s not.  The Clipse and Lil Wayne have beefed for years, stemming back to when the Clipse subliminally dissed Lil Wayne in 2006 on “Mr. Me Too.” While Pusha T has been consistently clowning Drake as of late, this time he shifts his focus to Lil Wayne on Exodus 23:1.  This track is so popular because Pusha T [indirectly] pulls Lil Wayne’s card questioning his gangbanging, his relationship with YMCMB, and more.  So what does Lil Wayne do? He responds by dropping a new diss track called Goulish.  For anybody expecting the Dedication mixtape Wayne, you will be highly disappointed.  He’s more like Lil Tunechi on this diss track…meaning its all garbage.  Goulish is short in length, thankfully…full of pointless metaphors and more talk about how Lil Wayne has goons.  If this isn’t a sign that Lil Wayne has changed I don’t know what is.

For all of us that have been Lil Wayne fans since he was a part of the Hot Boys, we all know that Lil Wayne is truly gifted.  He has released some classic songs and has silenced the critics several times.  He has demolished anybody that even dared to say he was a garbage rapper.  Things change, Lil Wayne surely has. After Tha Carter III dropped his music has suffered.  He doesn’t have the same drive; his lyrics don’t have the same sting.  I remember when he used to spit a line and you would have to rewind it in your head to see how clever it was.  Those days are long gone; now every line he spits you have to think WTF is he talking about?  Or you already know what metaphor he is going to use.  Whether Lil Wayne wants to admit it or not, he’s gotten too comfortable. The Clipse might not be as big as Lil Wayne but they definitely have the ability to win this battle.  They worked with Wayne back in the day before he was claiming to be a Blood.  Let’s not forget that The Clipse have ALWAYS repped the streets hard…nothing has changed there unlike in Lil Wayne’s case.  Plus The Clipse is backed by G.O.O.D Music which overall is a better label than YMCMB.  The only way this battle can be fair is if Drake decides to step in and directly crush the competition.  And before you think Drake is too soft to do so…Drake crushed Lil Wayne on every song of their mixtape a couple of years ago.  Drake is more clever than Lil Wayne point blank.  Don’t believe me look at the way he responded to Pusha T on Lord Knows.  I can’t wait to see what this cat fight turns into.  Until then we will just have to keep our eyes and ears open.
