Questlove Slams Kendrick Lamar & Drake's Messy Beef 'Hip Hop Is Truly Dead' 

😮😂

Facts 😂😂

The roots are legendary lmao

​@@Burst644That sold themselves🤣🤣🤣🤣💀

Questlove always been like this he just another old head. As much as I respect the dude his takes on modern hip-hop is close minded as hell.

Pray for the security guard of course.... but frfr tired of the industry trying to frame it as some violent street "feud" Like, Chicago exists....

The difference is that part of the battle was not the main feature for the fans. People didn't have a religious type of devotion to one artist over the other. Whoever made the coldest diss won that round and people were able to handle others having different opinions. This shit hits more like a political campaign than an actual rap beef. Stan culture is the bullet that killed hip hop

@JamesWill-sz1ks It's bad energy like a MF which really makes me look at Kendrick different. He did all that intentionally

@JamesWill-sz1ks Precisely. This is how I know most of the so called fans being vocal right now don't even understand what he's been talking about. Anybody who can is like 😲

I hate how amazing this comment is lmao

👁️see what you did there😂😂

Damn. I was just thinking the same thing.

😂😂😂😂

😂😂

Older generationa will always whitewash their past then discipline the youth

When people died and suffered real violence when they had to stand on the words they spoke. And the world watched us fighting each other. That was probably the time hip hop realized or at least should've realized they might need to be more sensitive.

FACTS

It's not about being sensitive. I'm fans of both , but they both came out looking like two gossipy bitches. And I always liked KDot more, but his integrity is shot in my eyes. That holier than thou , Mr Morale, God this and God that bs was all a facade. Or else he would of never stooped that low, saying the worst shit u could say about that man without solid proof smh. But that's the social media age for u. Told that mans mom he wishes her son would die😂 He better not ever talk that Christian, positive energy shit again lol. I'll always listen to his music, but dude just seems weird to me now, he just doesn't add up, just as inauthentic as Drake smh. I always suspected he was fake deep, and that's exactly what he is. This was good for hip hop short term, but bad in the long run. Everyone involved in this has been making mediocre ass music forever, but people keep gassing it. Ye, Future, the Weekend, Rick Ross etc. I could care less if any of them ever made music ever again. Drake and KDot, both need to go away for a couple years, cuz both their last albums were disappointments smh. And both them dudes ain't even close to The top 10 best rappers, when it comes to strictly bars. Coles rapping way better than both these dudes right now. People really be gassing the hell out of these dudes, especially Kendrick. But like Cole said" Most these niggaz in your audience is bitches, and white boys mostly" 😂

"When did hip hop get so sensitive" EXACTLY!!

He definitely is smh. I'd rather hear from Black Thought.

love em but nah same page

Same here. He go jay-z takeover mtv unplugged. He Play drums

you let questlove down

​@@maryannappiagyei4277 That song was very light compared to this. And their battle was ended before it got too personal. Jay even took the L when he got too personal and tried to bring Nas family into the track. He was told to take the song down and Nas took the W.

You're deluded. if Drake doesn't respond, this will fade as hip-hop will continue its decline, rap will merge with the pop genres and hip-hop will return to the streets, underground.

@@mr.stasisexactly eventually this beef will die down then what? How this beef moving hip hop forward

You live by the word of a man whom you never met and who wouldn't be affected at all if you died today. That's a sad state for someone's life to be in.

A ghost? Yo this beef really brought the ignorant kids out to light

A ghost???? You sound delusional just like QuestLove now 🙄

@@Loyale1229 I don't think Quest is delusional. I think he and I thought this was gonna be a bar for bar hip hop battle. It turned into a lot of extra shit

Fake hip hop fan 😂

@@leeroyuckface6893💯💯 couldve been a great hip hop moment..turned into gossip girl talk lol

100% Right

He’s 1000% right

Nahhh, he's 2 hunnit thousand% right

Drake Stans have entered the chat🤣🤣🤣

@@Vr_Demon_Nah Questlove is right, This beef was all gossip shit no real rap battle. All yall stans gas this shit up like its the best diss battle of all time when it isn’t

Bro 4 hip hop songs hit number 1 last year🤦

glazing

That’s was his point exactly. If two men fighting , violence is the type of thing that revitalize hip hop then it is truly dead. These are some of the reasons while the general public has a negative view of hip hop and the black community hence these types of behaviors, fights and violence.

A song with a chant about pedophiles hitting #1 is not a flex for hip hop fam. You stans cheapened the whole genre. It's a wrap

@@Peacekeepa317 It's still a catchy song and Kendrick had hard-hitting lines.

Not a peep during Ja & 50 beef, Stabbings and fist fights, kids involved in diss songs too... I loved the roots back in the day, I'll never care what this man has to say again.

This why parents shouldn’t let their kids use the internet. Dude is using words he doesn’t know the meaning to. - boomer is someone born before 1965. Quest Love was born in 1971. You said a whole bunch of nothing. 😂💀🫵🏽

Exactly, this is rap beef it's nothing new.

Also Ice Cube & Da Lench Mob's fight with Above The Law during the N.W.A & Ice Cube beef Tha Dogg Pound's fight with Dresta, B.G. Knocc Out and their crew at the Montell Jordan music video shoot Black gangs and Mexican gangs getting involved in Ice Cube's beef with Cypress Hill Luke Campbell and his crew having a bloody fight with Death Row at Jack The Rapper All those encounters and people getting beaten up during Suge Knight & Death Row Records beef with Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg as well as Young Buck stabbing the guy who punched Dr. Dre at the 2004 Vibe Awards Memphis Bleek & Roc-A-Fella fight with Terror Squad at a club Tru Life robbing Jim Jones and members of The Diplomats of their chains Lil' Kim & Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s shootout with Foxy Brown & Capone N Noreaga outside of Hot 97 D12 beating up Esham badly Beanie Sigel beating up Gillie Da Kid Damion "World" Hardy shooting at 50 Cent in a parking lot after 50 Cent dissed Lil' Kim on Hot 97 Spider Loc and his crew's fight with Yukmouth and his crew and Spider Loc robbing Yukmouth's chain T.I. and his crew going to Lil' Flip's hood in Cloverland and fighting him and his crew The Game punching out Ras Kass on two different occasions

2pac spent half of hit em up screaming death threats at everyone and people like him were going Oooooooooopoh

RIGHT

​@@camronshean1758and some of those weren't even because of diss tracks They were about subliminals or some street shit

was never the goal. both these dudes acting like feds trying to get eachoher publicly cancelled. its wack.

@@goonerinit I think touching kids is more wack. If you don’t then you’re questionable

But they were still about skill, with drama as a side dish. The main thing now is drama

@@therealcontentofficial yet people have been breaking down euphoria for over a week finding new bars

@@jjrr330jj That doesn’t even address my argument. Seems like an automated response.

@@therealcontentofficial it does what skill was In hit em up ? It started off with drama

​@@jjrr330jjAnd it ended off with death. That's what y'all want though. It's not about the music.

All respect I had for this moron is gone.

Exactly tbh I don't even listen to hip hop anymore I'm so fed up with hip hop culture all together I listen to different genres now

Eminem was capping Did he just have amnesia about the 90s?

@@_nobodyxi Wonder why he didn't feel this way about 50 Cent saying he'd erase Ja Rule's 2 year old son and 7 year old daughter as well as his mom, dad and wife in the beginning of Back Down which happened first. Eminem was fine with kids and family being involved in the beef then

​@@camronshean1758 that Em song is old

@@TheMackoftheyear As if no one already knew that. His song The Real Slim Shady is old too since were saying things that are clearly obvious

I thought rap beef had no limits. Bet you didn’t say that when push brought up Drake son

​@@elerma94by the way pusha T brought Drake son after Drake talked about pusha's wife. Drake really keeps asking for this

@@elerma94 Drake brought up Push's wife first on Duppy Freestyle, he did it again with Kendrick when he brought up Whitney

@@elerma94 2pac said in his diss track called “Hit ‘Em Up” he said “My .44 make sure all your kids don't grow” Stop Being So Sensitive

Drake stay talking about other mens wife, he better be careful... Fellas hide ur wives.

he works for the Elites/Zionists now, this isn’t the Questlove we knew back in the Day 🥁

Understandable But He says that rap beef used to be less messy and that's some toxic level bullshit

​@@_nobodyxiHe's absolutely correct though. The difference is Stan culture and the internet. It just introduces too much side shit that overshadows the actual music

​@@Peacekeepa317exactly

He broke an anti war picket line to attend a Whitehouse dinner in fancy dress a few weeks ago... this guy is no longer respect worthy

Cope 😂💀🫵🏽

The people being the loudest online don't represent the masses

UUUUMM QUESTLOVE WAS PLAYING THE DRUMS LIVE FOR JAY-Z'S "TAKEOVER" NAS DISS TRACK ON THE UNPLUGGED SET.

Everybody said it when Jay responded with Super Ugly. Because it was lyrically subpar and he was obviously trying to win off tea. He was looked down upon for the same thing Kendrick did. Y'all are funny with the revisionist history. Jay Z had to wait till a whole new generation to even be respected again

He was a big part of HipHop… he sounds delusional NOW but he used to be apart of HipHop…You can’t take that from him 😕

@@Loyale1229 You’re right, of course. It’s just that it irks me when the old heads use their cultural cache to disparage the young legends and their contributions. In any case, thanks for the reminder.

What?? U need to listen to The Roots b4 making dumb ass comments like this

Facts

Agreed

A lot of fans are saying the same shit though. The people in it for the drama are just louder

Kanye West rarely responds to getting dissed in songs by other rappers such as with 50 Cent, Cam'ron & Jim Jones. They're battle would be nothing and Kanye West doesn't even battle anyways

​@@camronshean1758 you wanna know why... Cause he's yesus lol

If that's the case, then handle that shit in the streets. If it isn't about bars and punchlines then it's just plain beef. Not rap beef.

@@Peacekeepa317 But neither Drake nor Kendrick Lamar are in the streets though.

its bringing kids into thats too far

Those were still about authenticity /skill

It’s an overstatement to say hip hop is dead because it’s not it’s just not the same anymore(it’s all degrading now) hip hop sold its soul after the 80s. Common was saying it in his song I use to love HER back in 1994 when the two songs you point out were coming out

@@nathanmedina2809 So then hip hop is dead…. You can’t take the something and strip it off what makes it what it is and say that it is still alive. Hip hop is dead. Rap is alive. Rap is ubiquitous, hip hop is rare.

Everybody thought Jay Z was corny for Super ugly fam. Because it was subpar lyrically. We didn't care as much about the "tea". That's weird and effeminate

Because these fake hip hop fans don't pay attention to anything but drama. They don't care about the music anymore. Fanbases have turned into internet cults and gangs

That’s childish dude. The whole he started it argument

Hip hop is dead, rap is alive. Know the difference.

So many young casuals in the comments that only listen to rap and not HIP HOP. Questlove is an og and knows what he’s talking about. Sure Jay and Nas had some personal shots but the main dish was about skill. The authenticity behind the pen. Nowadays it’s reverse. Some tmz shii. Same with Pusha T. All tea, no bar for bar.

Nah he just realized that hip hop never matured into its true potential and that hip-hop will always be a rebellious teens genre. But when adults fully grow up mentally they realize how juvenile Rap and hip hop requires you to be in order to be part of the culture and they say, no thanks, I'm an adult now. Well, the smart ones do.
