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.
