Lord Jamar Gets Roasted To Oblivion For Saying Kendrick Lamar Doesn’t Represent L.A.

December 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar penned a strong love letter to the entire culture of Los Angeles and California at large with GNX. The bouncy G-funk and gangsta rap instrumentals are extremely prevalent on it. Moreover, the music video for “squabble up” paid homage to all sorts of West Coast imagery. With that said, there is good chance more of the same will happen if more visuals come out. It’s paid both in terms of the quality and financially speaking. It sold 319,000 units in its first week, it’s currently dominating the Billboard Hot 100, and is also atop the Hot 200. Overall, it’s put an incredible mark on the West Coast scene, which has just been having a dominant year.

You could say that he’s been a big part of why the region has been so successful thanks to his victory over Drake. All of the diss tracks, especially “Not Like Us,” are all songs of the year contenders, or at the very least near the top. All of these accomplishments are why Lord Jamar’s recent opinion on Kendrick Lamar doesn’t add up. For those unaware, the former is a New York MC, who’s known for some collabs with A Tribe Called Quest, Raekwon, RZA, among others.

He’s more of a commentator nowadays, using his podcast, The God Pod, to carry out his word. As it stands, he’s hearing it from the internet because he feels that The Game is much better representation of L.A. rap culture. This whole discussion began due to a listener saying that Kendrick is him, which Jamar vehemently disagrees with. “Game is that guy compared to f***ing Kendrick,” he begins his diatribe.

“Kendrick was supposed to be just like a nerd or some regular guy. Now all of a sudden he’s like a gang banger or some s***.” His co-host, Artie Stacks, seems to generally agree with him, as he considers him a “good MC,” whereas The Game is a “good L.A. rapper.” With comments like these, you know Lamar’s fans aren’t going to waste time defending him. Well, that’s exactly what’s going on, and they are making sure to expose Jamar relentlessly. “Lord Jamar is a flat Earther who thinks he’s a Native American and that slavery happened in reverse. Do with that what you will,” one user sums up. There’s plenty of other devious roasts in the comments, which you can find below.

Drake’s UMG Lawsuit Leaves Lord Jamar Concerned About The State Of Hip-Hop

December 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lord Jamar went off on Drake during the latest episode of his show, The God Pod, reacting to the news that the Toronto rapper is taking legal action against UMG over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” Drake filed multiple pre-action petitions against the company, last week. In one filing, he accuses them of using bots, payola, and other methods to inflate the success of “Not Like Us” while in a second, he accuses them of defamation.

Jamar kicked off the discussion by asking, “Where is hip-hop going?” He continued: “It’s been all kinds of rap beefs where motherf*ckers done got shot at and all kinda sh*t. Nobody filed nothing. This n***a mad because he got called some names.” Jamar then slammed Drake as hypocritical for complaining that UMG allegedly showed preferential treatment to Lamar.

As for Drake’s first petition against the music industry giant, his lawyers wrote in the New York filing: “UMG did not rely on chance, or even ordinary business practices. It instead launched a campaign to manipulate and saturate the streaming services and airwaves.” He brought the defamation case separately in Texas. “UMG … could have refused to release or distribute the song or required the offending material to be edited and/or removed,” Drake’s lawyers wrote, as caught by Billboard. “But UMG chose to do the opposite. UMG designed, financed and then executed a plan to turn ‘Not Like Us’ into a viral mega-hit with the intent of using the spectacle of harm to Drake and his businesses to drive consumer hysteria and, of course, massive revenues. That plan succeeded, likely beyond UMG’s wildest expectations.”

Lord Jamar Discusses Drake’s Latest Move

UMG has already released a statement denying all of the allegations. They described them as “offensive and untrue.” Check out Lord Jamar’s full stance on Drake and Kendrick Lamar below.

Today In Hip Hop History: Brand Nubian’s Sophomore Album “Everything Is Everything’ Turns 30 Years Old!

November 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On this date in 1994, Brand Nubian’s Lord Jamar and Sadat X, without the group’s founder, Grand Puba, released the New Rochelle-based crew’s second album Everything Is Everything on the Elektra imprint.

Two years after Puba got a taste of the solo artist life with his Reel To Reel LP, Dotty and Lord J along with DJ Sincere put their heads together to put out an album that was almost exclusively produced by Lord Jamar himself. There weren’t a bunch of guest appearances besides fellow 5%er Busta Rhymes on the “Nubian Jam” and DITC’s Buckwild, who produced Sadat’s solo track “Alladat”. Despite the lackluster reception and commercial success of the project, the album produced two solid singles; “Word Iz Bond” and “Hold On”, which were featured on a number of syndicated television series. The single “Lick Dem Muthaphuckas” was featured on the Menace 2 Society soundtrack.

Salute to Jamar, Dot, Sincere, Buckwild for creating this important piece Hip Hop History!

[WATCH] Lord Jamar Points Out Biggie’s “Out Of Pocket” Lyrics, Blames Diddy

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In an exclusive sit down with Hip Hop podcast Art Of Dialogue, vocal Brand Nubian member Lord jamar delves into the lyrical content of one of the Notorious B.I.G.’s classic hits amid Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering scandal and says that some of Biggie’s bars aren’t aging well in this day and time.

“Biggie has some of the most out-of-pocket lyrics of any rapper ever and hopefully there will never be a rapper with worse lyrics,” Jamar injected into the convo. “But there’s so much sh*t that Biggie said that people just overlooked at the time and now, when we fast-forward to where we’re at, and hear about all the sh*t with Puff, now, certain things are not aging. It was bad back then but it’s aging even worse.” He went on to say, “I don’t care how good a woman looks, I would never give fellatio to her father because she’s so beautiful.”

Jamar then expounded on an industry rumor that there was a transgender “dude” in the videos for “Big Poppa” and in the bed with Biggie in the visuals for “Warning”. He went on to say that the same transgender was in the “Flava In Ya Ear” (Remix) video dancing behind LL Cool J, who began his verse saying “HeShe!”

He concluded his take on the current climate around Diddy by saying, “With all of this baby oil splashing around, you’re gonna get some on you. If you get some on you, that’s when things start to get slippery.”

Lord Jamar Alleges That Diddy’s Sexuality Got Him Fired From Uptown Records

October 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lord Jamar always has something to say. The rapper has become a regular on podcasts and interview channels. He has bold opinions and wild stories, and he regularly sticks by both. It was only a matter of time before Lord Jamar weighed in on the Diddy situation. The rapper claims to have heard stories about Diddy dating back to the early 1990s. He seem unsurprised by the wave of allegations leveled at the Bad Boy founder. In fact, he claims that Diddy’s sexuality actually led to him being fired from his first industry job.

Diddy got his start as an A&R at Uptown Records in the early 1990s. He worked under Andre Harrell, and helped to develop iconic R&B acts like Mary J. Blige and Jodeci. Diddy was fired from Uptown in 1993, in turn leading to the creation of Bad Boy Records. Diddy has repeatedly blamed his ambition as the reason he was fired, but Lord Jamar tells another story. The Brand Nubian rapper alleges that Diddy was let go because he was caught having sex with another man in the Uptown offices. “That’s why I heard,” Lord Jamar told The Art of Dialogue. “He got caught in a precarious act, doing something real baby oil-ish in the office.”

Lord Jamar Claims The Rumor Dates Back Decades

Lord Jamar implied that the other man involved in the alleged “precarious act” is also someone of not. He declines naming the man, however. “I don’t know,” the rapper stated. “I’m just saying, that was the rumor.” Jamar then went on to allege that Diddy is part of a so-called “Gay Mafia” within the music industry. He didn’t get into detail about who the other members of this alleged group were. He did, however, claim that the Bad Boy founder is not actually the one in charge.

“You just saw one of the gay mafia members. That’s who he is, that’s who Puffy is,” Lord Jamar told the outlet. “He is one of the members of the mob. He’s a mafia member. But he might not be the Don Carl, he is not the godfather. He is one of the heads of the family.” Jamar isn’t the only one who has claimed to have heard unnerving rumors about Diddy in the 1990s. The latter’s former bodyguard alleged that he heard a story involving Diddy and a teenage Usher, which you learn more about here.

Sexyy Red Claps Back At Lord Jamar For Insulting Her Appearance

July 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lord Jamar has problems with lots of different artists. The legendary rapper has become better known for his critiques than his music, and his recent The Art of Dialogue interview supported this. Jamar went after Sexyy, insulting the way she looked and smelt. The rapper claimed that Sexyy Red looked “icky and hot.” He described her as the kind of woman who smells “like a room full of sex,” and urged men to “do better.” Needless to say, Sexyy Red did not let these criticisms slide.

Sexyy Red reposted the Lord Jamar interview on Instagram with the text “ask @chieffkeeffsossa do I stink.” Sexyy and Chief Keef have been linked for the better part of a year. That said, both artists have maintained that they are friends. The former called Chief Keef her “brother” after posting flirtatious photos with him on Instagram. That hasn’t stopped the romance rumors from swirling, however. The rapper placed Chief Keef’s chain in her panties during an IG post in June. She also claimed that her baby daddy went through her text messages with Keef shortly after she gave birth.

Sexyy’s response to Lord Jamar suggests that something sexual went down between her and Chief Keef. Either way, the rapper has grown accustomed to hate from other artists. Sexyy Red actually talked about hate during a new episode of HBO’s The Shop. While the episode premieres July 11, a teaser clip saw Sexyy Red talking about the way that hatred motivates her.

“They still don’t believe in me, so I’m just gonna show you who I am,” she told Andre 3000. “Ain’t nobody doing this.” The Outkast rapper urged Sexyy Red to keep doing what she was doing, and ignore what her critics have to say. “Use it for fuel,” he posited. “Hater fuel, man, it’s the best sh*t.”

Lord Jamar Agrees With Kendrick Lamar On Drake’s Use Of The N-Word

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The battle of Kendrick Lamar versus Drake still has folks grasping for more, but what’s the rush when there’s so much left to debate? Of course, many of the topics, themes, and elements of this beef etched themselves into the hip-hop history books long before this flare-up. Folks have discussed Drizzy’s biracial status for over a decade, and K.Dot has always found it hard to be the biggest rapper trying to say something deeper about the industry and systems that he found success in. On that last note, though, Brand Nubian’s Lord Jamar agrees with the Compton lyricist’s view that his Toronto rival’s use of the n-word is “cringeworthy.”

Moreover, Lord Jamar posited that Kendrick Lamar never said that Drake can’t say the n-word: just that it’s cringe. He thinks that Aubrey Graham uses too many accents and voices in his music for his use of the word to come off as genuine, calling out “all these different Drakes that this motherf***er comes out with.” “The only reason why he kind of gets away with it is that his father’s Black,” Jamar added later on. Not only that, but he pointed out that the OVO boss grew up with his white mother, not Dennis Graham.

Lord Jamar’s Thoughts On Drake Using The N-Word

Furthermore, Lord Jamar suggested that Drake did not engage with that word in the same way that biracial folks that grew up in a Black environment did. “That s**t is catchy, he do make some catchy f***ing s**t,” he conceded, albeit in a way that theorized on why he “gets away” with this. Overall, it’s a very complex issue that has much deeper roots than just hip-hop. But it’s important to understand that attacks on the “Tuscan Leather” MC can be misguidedly discriminatory, invalidating, and exclusionary, and that Kendrick Lamar’s criticism of his use of the n-word is not a simple matter of being biracial.

Meanwhile, folks will sadly always clown Drake for whatever reason, and it’s usually not as deep as this. But there’s a lot of nuance that every party involved in this specific breakdown is missing out on. As such, it’s key for media consumers to see both sides of the argument and reach a more comprehensive understanding of the matter, especially if they are not Black themselves. Until then, these words will inspire many more debates like this.

Today in Hip-Hop History: Brand Nubian Dropped Their Second LP ‘In God We Trust’ 31 Years Ago

February 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today in 1993, Brand Nubian released their sophomore album, In God We Trust on Elektra Records as a follow up to their five mic classic All For One.

With Grand Puba embarking on a solo career and a year into the success of his Reel to Reel album, Sadat X and Lord Jamar kept it all mathematical, dropping the science taught by the 5% Nation, which was the original objective of the four-man squad from New Rochelle, New York. Whether they were proudly saluting the 5% by singing their rendition of the Nation’s anthem”The Enlightener”, police brutality “Black and Blue” or just beating down punks “Punks Jump Up”, the Native Tongues affiliates always bring their lyrical A-game to the table when it’s time to go in the booth.

Salute to Sadat and Lord J for this timeless classic!
