That video just reminded me that this isn't Snoop from the G Thang vid. It's yet another crusty old hating on a younger rapper's hustle. Yeah, Iggy sucks, but act like you weren't in Starsky & Hutch just trying to get paid.
KRS, Common and Snoop now in that same old people realm.

Dre and Snoop took multiple shots in the song. C'mon brehs, yall listen to music or do yall skim through it...
sorry, i havent heard the track in 20 years.
I've heard it. Come on man. It's not the same and you know it.
having a song put you on blast, that will last forever vs a picture on twitter that will be forgotten in a month.
yep. totally not the same.
They don't exist in a vacuum. There's baggage and context and expectations that come with being a woman in a public space- forget just hip hop.
It's not the same.

Yeah, Snoop hasn't had to endure half the things Iggy has. After all he's a black male who grew up in long beach at the height of the crack era. He should check his privilege.
First legit lol of the day.

It's just shitty breh and you know it. Shots at appearances in this sphere aren't the same across genders. Just as there are huge racial imbalances that essentially have produced Iggy.Yeah, Snoop hasn't had to endure half the things Iggy has.

But it's a toxic comment in the area.

How many youngsters that like rap today even know who Eazy or what Death Row is?

Once you let Ben Stiller caress your nipples on film, you can't go back to thugging.
It's not just twitter beef (though that alone can qualify you IMO). It's repeatedly putting you and your career in disadvantageous positions and desperately pulling the race card and whatever you can to try and drag this person down, but only digging your own grave further and further.
Banks doesn't just have no chill, she doesn't understand the concept. Don't care how good her album was, she is a psychopath.

Was somebody telling a guy named Guru to bring the flutes in?

Lmao
no actual flutes in that song tho
my guess is No Escapin This - Beatnuts? but the flute kinda goes throughout...hmm
"Needs another loop so we added a flute"
"Needs another loop so we added a flute"
nah bro it's more like 1994.
due to short term memory loss i have no idea what the lyrics are anymore.
it's not in the background. the flute is pretty prominent.
I'm not excusing Snoop's comment or video at all; they were unnecessary and crude (and honestly if he wanted to shit on her he could have done better).
At the same time, I can't bring myself to give a poop about whatever hardship Iggy Azalea faces in the rap game, bruv. She has major label backing, cosigns from important rappers, and her career is going just fine; all while being wack as fuck musically. I'll save my tears for the dark skinned black girls out here just trying to get put on.

Snoop is a master at staying relevant.
Even now we're talking about him because of an instagram meme.
I bet he really doesn't give a shit either way. People are talking about him and that's ll that matters.

I'm not calling her that. But she gets the Macklemoreish push because of that.
Besides nicki who else is out there?
I don't think Snoop even gives a fuck about being talked about. He has a mansion, unlimited weed, and a Youtube talk show that nobody watches where he can fuck around every week doing whatever he wants while getting all kinds of advertising/product placement deals

I wonder how uncomfortable TI was when Iggy called him up all pissed off about Snoop asking him to do something...

yeah, i get you tjere peter
i'd totally play a mobile game of trying to be her PR manager though, it'd be some demons souls type shit
sometimes i wonder just how many revenue streams snoop has - like, there's royalty checks from so much weird shit he's shown up in, gotta be a lotta checks of wildly varying amounts

She had her shot :mjpls:
She ruined it, with countless unforced L's.
Speaking of L of the year? I can't hand it to someone like her. First off, she's accrued too many L's throughout the 2012 and 2013 seasons to be a standout really. Second, people seem to kinda like her album. Third, the L of the year award is based on prestige and she has none, so.
I honestly don't know who my genuine L of the year would be. I'm thinking Wiz might just be that dude. Wifed up a woman Kanye fell in love with (L), had her seed (L), cheated on her (L), dyed his hair purple (L), and took that naked selfie somewhere with a bunch of waer glasses (LLLLLL).
I remember back in the day there used to be a whole section on his Wikipedia page devoted to all of his random-ass products and endorsements
I kind of get where peter is coming from. I think it's tough either way; we haven't even seen Macklemore get hit with the kind of venom that Iggy gets hit with (unwarranted or not), but on the flipside her skin color alone gets her by the "why should I give a fuck" test for a rapper, one which can not be worse than it is for the female black rapper at that. I guess that's sort of why I sympathize, especially considering she came into the game pretty humble.
Gift and a curse, but I can see how it's sometimes more of a curse when the backlash is as crazy as it is, and a gift when white privilege is so damning as it is.

Another good candidate that should not be ignored IMO. Along with TDE in general.

I get what Peter is saying, and I agree. I just don't feel bad for her given her history of disparaging others.
Act like its fun and games til its your turn and then get up on that high horse? nah

Those grantland podcasts are awful. The yeezuz one was decent but the rest consisted of inferior material receiving constant praise. Nothing was bad and it bored me because they were too enthusiastic over mediocrity. Maybe they've gotten better but i can't think of grantland without thinking about those podcasts lol
