Leave a comment

On this day in Hip Hop history Craig Mack released Bad Boy’s second LP as a label Project: Funk Da World. This successful debut introduced Craig Mack as one of Bad Boy’s original artists alongside The Notorious B.I.G., 112, Faith Evans and Total.

Unlike like Bad Boy’s debut, Biggie’s Ready to Die, Project: Funk Da World concentrated less on the hardcore street aspect of Hip Hop and focused more on getting it’s listeners moving on the dance floor. Similar to the West Coast’s G-Funk movement, this LP was smooth and effortlessly funky. It created a vibe that every time it was spun, did exactly what it’s title intended. The album featured Craig Mack’s smash hit single “Flava in Ya Ear”. The version of the is single featuring Biggie Smalls was actually Bad Boy’s first release, and the duo’s only collaboration.

The album was certified gold within the year of it’s release although partially overshadowed by the quadruple platinum Ready to Die.

Jay Electronica Disappears Less Than 72 Hours After Threatening Eminem

Leave a comment

Roc Nation’s Jay Electronica has everyone’s full attention. The hip-hop veteran’s Twitter and Instagram pages have faded to black just days after threatening self-proclaimed rap god Eminem.

Less than 72 hours after going at Em for dissing his longtime pal Diddy, Jay’s accounts are now deactivated.

Jay Electronica is no longer on Twitter. His disappearance follows a pair of barbed tweets aimed at Eminem last Friday (September 14). In the tweets, Jay had criticized Em’s “Killshot” lyrics, which allude to the unfounded rumor that Diddy ordered Tupac’s death. An Instagram account associated with Jay has also been deleted.

On Friday, Jay Elect shook up social media after threatening Em for going at Puffy on his new “Killshot” battle record.

With Em’s “Killshot,” he makes a direct reference to Diddy having late rap mogul 2Pac murdered.

“Killshot, I will not fail, I’m with the Doc still/But this idiot’s boss pops pills and tells him he’s got skills/But, Kells, the day you put out a hit’s the day Diddy admits/That he put the hit out that got Pac killed” (“Killshot”)

The Machine Gun Kelly-targeted diss record also sparked a reaction from fellow rapper Iggy Azalea.

Eminem Takes Aim at MGK With ‘Kill Shot,’ Jay Electronica Responds [Listen]

Leave a comment

When it comes to verbal manslaughter, Eminem has always been ill so his latest jab at MGK was no different.

On Friday (Sept 14), after waiting for more than a week, Eminem has released his response to MGK’s “Rap Devil” with his own on record decimation, “Kill Shot.”The four-minute record takes aim at several lines spit by MGK, including the line that calling out Em for not visiting his hometown.

“Last time you saw 8 Mile was at home on a treadmill.”

In response, Em, says, “I’m really sorry you want me to have a heart attack/Was watchin’ 8 Mile on my NordicTrack/Realized I forgot to call you back.”

But it didn’t stop there, Eminem pointing out MGK’s lack of chart success by throwing a jab at Diddy who signed him to Bad Boy in 2012.

“The day you put out a hit’s the day Diddy admits that he put the hit out that got Pac killed.”

Although Eminem makes a point to show love to Diddy at the end of the track saying, “Oh, and I’m just playin’, Diddy. You know I love you,” some Hip-Hop fans didn’t take too kindly towards the Tupac line. One fan, in particular, was Jay Electronica, who issued a swift warning to Eminem via Twitter over the jab.

“@eminem, how dare you accuse diddy of killing tupac while you completely look pass jimmy iovine and those who profited from his death the MOST. You best tread carefully Son, before i come tear your ivory tower down like Sulaiman done the Templar Knights. #ripProof”

MGK set the rap world ablaze when he dropped his diss record, “Rap Devil”, in response to Eminem’s initial diss “calling Eminem washed up with misplaced anger and also accused the Detroit veteran of blackballing him in the industry over a tweet in 2012 about his daughter.

“Let’s call Sway ask why he can’t go up to Shade 45 because of you/Let’s ask Interscope how you had Paul Rosenberg trying to shelf me/Still can’t cover up the fact the last four albums as bad as your selfie/ Now tell me what do you stand for?/I know you can’t stand yourself.”
