DJ Cipha Sounds Archives - New Hip Hop News

Drake, his producer Noah “40” Shebib, and the rest of the OVO crew have been under fire ever since March of 2024 thanks to rap beef. However, as a result of those back-and-forth diss tracks, another conversation emerged about how they allegedly expect certain treatment from the media and their peers. Moreover, you probably already heard the claim that DJ Cipha Sounds played Kendrick Lamar’s PDF-file-alleging “Not Like Us” at Toronto, and that 40 responded with a scathing condemnation. Turns out that Cipha didn’t actually play the track and removed the post, but he had another similar story to tell Peter Rosenberg on the Juan Ep Is Life show that illustrates their issues with the two.

Furthermore, DJ Cipha Sounds recalled when he posted an old picture of him with longtime collaborator Pusha T, and how 40 criticized his post directly to him given Drake’s beef with the Clipse member. “To not be a d**k,” Cipha took the photo down, which led Peter Rosenberg to remark on an incident where his critique of the “God’s Plan” music video got him a very angry phone call from The Boy. According to Rosenberg, the issue with this OVO duo is that they expect “the homie treatment” from the media and fellow artists. The real problem lies in how they just supposedly expect this leniency and support without giving these celebrities a reason to do so.

Peter Rosenberg & DJ Cipha Sounds Speak On Drake & 40

Peter Rosenberg accuses Drake of latching on to whoever the hottest person is right now and says the issue with Drake and his producer, 40, is that they want the homie treatment.

For example, Peter Rosenberg brought up that he hasn’t talked to Kendrick Lamar in years, but is still connected to the TDE camp. Even though he hasn’t spoken with K.Dot in a while, folks like Top Dawg and Punch still hit him up, send him tracks, and stay in touch. On the flip side, in the radio host’s opinion, Drake simply attaches himself to hot media personalities like Adin Ross, Bobbi Althoff, and DJ Akademiks for the clout of it and doesn’t do his part to be a “homie” in return. However, Rosenberg also clarified that these reactions are very understandable and especially so right now, given that Drizzy’s team has suffered violence that, while unconfirmed and unlikely to connect to the rap battle, has everyone on edge on top of feeling defensive against popular diss tracks.

Some people don’t think the beef is over, but it’s clear that most of us are taking a more retrospective look at the whole thing. Allegedly, so are Drake and 40 by keeping their loyalties and circles skeptical and in check. But what Peter Rosenberg and DJ Cipha Sounds are talking about is much more complicated, gray, and nuanced than simple fake love. That’s a song by the 6ix God, and what they’re talking about is something that no track can really tackle either way.

Yesterday, we reported on DJ Cipha Sounds and a recent interaction he had with OVO 40, Drake’s long-time producer and confidant. Overall, 40 was angered with Cipha due to a misunderstanding that the DJ had played Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” while in Toronto. Based on Cipha’s comments, it was very clear that 40 was upset about the whole thing. However, some got it confused, including us, and reported that Cipha had, in fact, played the song while in the Six. As it turns out, that was very much not the case.

In a video posted to social media, the DJ explained exactly what happened. Firstly, he noted that he hates rap beef and he is sad that two of the best MCs are at odds right now. Subsequently, he noted that he was in Toronto recently as the city is like a second home to him. From there, his new social media manager posted pictures from the trip and thought it would be funny to put “Not Like Us” as theme music. DJ Cipha Sounds was made aware of this, and immediately had the post taken down.

However, it seems like it was simply too late. OVO 40 became aware of the post, and that is when he called Cipha Sounds. Essentially, it was all one huge misunderstanding that could have been avoided. Although it does go to show that Drake’s camp is taking “Not Like Us” very seriously right now. After all, there are some pretty massive allegations in there.
