On the most recent episode of his podcast I Got My Pots, Miami Hip Hop legend Trick Daddy spoke very openly about Uncle Murda and his yearly “Rap Up” tracks, where he “respectfully disrespects” rappers and celebs who made the headlines from the past year.
13:40 into the episode, Trick Daddy said that going viral is for social media influencers and clowns before saying that the Brooklyn rapper is “the number one clown.” Trick then slammed all of Murda’s Rap-Ups, saying, “you ain’t got nothing else better to do. That’s clown s**t, boy.”
TD said he wasn’t even going to bring up Murda and his Rap Up tracks, but recalled being one of his targets on one of the year-ending tracks that made Murda declare, “I’m a part of the holidays like Mariah”.
Uncle Murda recently revealed that Kanye West asked him for help when writing a verse. Moreover, the alleged assist happened alongside Big Sean and record executive Steve Stoute. Despite the Chicago rapper’s public reckoning as of late, tales of his studio exploits and team-ups are always curious.

“You wrote s**t for Kanye?” DJ Superstar Jay asked Uncle Murda in an interview. “You was in the writer’s room?”
“Hold on, hold up. I ain’t- he had me starting to write,” the New York MC explained. It was me and Big Sean. This was the first day I was f***ing with the n***a. Word. That’s why I know Big Sean was really pissed off at the n***a, you know what I’m saying, when they had their issues.
“I remember just being in the studio and Ye was like ‘Damn, this beat,’” he continued. “He was like ‘Yo, go ahead, try to put something together.’ He called Big Sean like ‘Yo, try to work on this beat. It’s been f***ing with me for the last few days. I can’t come up with nothing.’ Like, n***a wanted me to write already? No blunt or nothing? Just like, ‘Go!’ And it was him and Steve Stoute. I’ll never forget.”
Moreover, this interaction is all the funnier when you consider Uncle Murda’s most recent output. His annual “Rap Up” diss turned heads last year with shots towards the “Off The Grid” artist. Also, artists like Freddie Gibbsresponded to receiving hits on the track, though Ye never did.
However, the diss track gave us some more noteworthy responses. Bobby Shmurda reacted to Murda’s mention in a slightly tongue-in-cheek way, probably trying to clean up some earlier mistakes.
“Murda, I’m a changed man, I’m a changed man, I’m different, man. I’m tryna change, Murda, I ain’t tryna boom nobody no more,” Shmurda stated via Instagram. Clearly the 42-year-old’s got plenty of material to work with, even to donate to the Yeezy mogul.
Still, what do you think of Uncle Murda helping Kanye out with a verse? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for more curious hip-hop interactions and favors.
Uncle Murda’s latest “Rap Up” track caused a storm online as we head into 2023. One of his targets was Bishop Lamor Whitehead, which might raise some eyebrows if that name’s new to you. Moreover, suspects robbed Whitehead’s service and federal authorities later arrested him for fraud. Furthermore, church members claimed that he scammed them out of thousands of dollars. While this was an unfortunate one-two punch for the pastor, the New York MC wasted no time in taking aim on his track.

“Man, n***as ran up in the church like it’s a stickup,” Murda rapped. “It was only 8 people in there when the robbed the bishop / When I heard about it, real talk, I burst out laughing / God don’t like ugly that’s why he let that s**t happen / He was out here scamming people in the name of God / Feds came and locked up him I know he was a fraud / He be dressing like a rapper, that s**t ain’t even funny / He be buying Louis and Gucci with them people money.”
After the song exploded online due to its jabs atFreddie Gibbs and a Bobby Shmurda diss, Whitehead isn’t having any of it. “Join Me Live @12:30Pm Today On IG And Facebook,” he wrote on his Instagram story. “I Will Be Responding To [Uncle Murda] About The Rap Up 2022 Song! I thought We Was Cool. [50 Cent] I Have A Proposal For You!
“Put The Bag Up For Your Boy @unclemurda And Let’s Meet In The Boxing Ring!” he wrote. Also, he tagged a slew of accounts including The Shade Room, BET, Power 105, Drink Champs, Fat Joe, Floyd Mayweather, Showtime Boxing, and more. He really wanted this to be seen, apparently. In a subsequent story post, Whitehead wrote “Sometimes You Have To Just Laugh!”
Furthermore, the church figurehead went live and aired out his frustrations with Uncle Murda. Moreover, he had a pretty light tone as he discussed other rappers, his relationship with the Brooklyn MC, and more. Funnily enough, this isn’t the first time he’s tried to get in the ring because of beef.
What do you think of Bishop Lamor Whitehead’s challenge to Uncle Murda? Moreover, do you think the Brooklyn MC will take it up and stand by his diss? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay logged in to HNHH for the latest beef, Internet call-outs, and potential showdowns in the rap game.
2022 came to a close rather quickly. We’re already four days into 2023 and are patiently awaiting some highly-anticipated music releases this year.
However, 2022 didn’t end without a bombshell from Uncle Murda. Sticking to tradition, the New York rapper dropped off his annual “Rap Up” song on New Year’s Eve.

Sprawling across the track’s 15-minute runtime, the 42-year-old doesn’t hold back when addressing the various events that transpired over the course of the past 12 months in both hip-hop and pop culture.
“NBA Youngboy had Rich The Kid shook / Over a little picture with Lil Durk that he took / Hope he know Bobby Shmurda and Rich The Kid different / Bobby will really boom you, n*gga, watch who you mention,” he raps within the first verse.
The Past Beef
It all began in November when Rowdy Rebel decided to speak out against the tragic murder of King Von. Specifically, he shares his thoughts on Lul Tum, the alleged killer and affiliate of both Quando Rondo and YoungBoy. “When King Von died, that Lul Tim n*gga, he didn’t have to get out of the car and start squeezing right away. You already got yours drawn,” says the “Computers” rapper.
“His mind off the rip went to kill. How you went to kill? How much hate you have already to kill this man?” he questions afterwards.

The Baton Rouge native subsequently replied in an Instagram Story. “I see why n*ggas irrelevant today “Be trying to make all the sense thinking what they saying real but sounding stupid asf[.]” Just mind yo businesses And stop the violence,” he says, before signing off as “Quando[‘s] big brother.”
The “Hot N*gga” rapper later shared his own two cents, seemingly dissing YoungBoy and Rondo in the process.
“Stop telling me about your brother’s shooters and your brother’s this – what the f*ck do you do? Huh? When are you finally gonna do something?” he questions.
Regardless of the past beef, Shmurda has since shared his thoughts on being mentioned in Murda’s year-end song. Evidently, he finds it humorous and simultaneously insists he’s a changed man. In an Instagram Live video, he reacts to hearing Murda dropping his name in the track for the first time. “Murda, I’m a changed man. I’m a changed man. I’m different, man. I’m tryna change, Murda. I ain’t tryna boom nobody no more,’ he pleads during the video.
What’s your favorite namedrop or mention in Uncle Murda’s wild “Rap Up 2022” track? Comment down below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates in music and pop culture.
Uncle Murda recently released his 2022 Rap-Up, and took some shots at Freddie Gibbs regarding his beef with Benny The Butcher which led to him getting beat up at a barbeque restaurant in Buffalo, NY.
In the Rap Up, Uncle Murda rapped: “Let’s talk about Freddie Gibbs like really wassup with him? / Niggas robbed him in Buffalo and he got beat up again / He be out here looking like a cold-blooded sucker.”
It didn’t take long before Gibbs responded to Uncle Murda on Twitter, saying that the Rap Up rapper was “friendly as a box of puppies” every time they saw each other.
Uncle Murda be friendly as a box of puppies every time I see him.
Uncle Murda was referencing an incident that took place last year where Freddie Gibbs was beaten up by members of Benny The Butchers entourage at a barbeque restaurant in Buffalo, New York. A fan of the Gary, Indiana artist saw the whole thing go down and even said that Benny’s people took Freddie’s chain during the attack.
Benny even went on to brag about the incident on Instagram live and showed the chain his goons snatched from Gibbs. Gibbs was on tour during the incident, and pictures were shortly released which showed his swollen eye.

Elsewhere in the Rap Up, Uncle Murda took shots at Kanye who he also named “Donkey Of The Year.” In the Rap Up, Uncle Murda rapped:
“Let’s talk about Kanye being antisemitic, the adidas deal that made him a billionaire got deaded / Now he only worth ’bout four, five hundred M’s / He lost his momma, Pete Davidson started fucking Kim / He be dressing dusty now, he don’t even look rich / He been looking stressed since that white boy took his bitch.”
He added: “You already know JAY-Z be ignoring him, he violated George Floyd, Black people ain’t supporting him / He was on ‘Drink Champs’ sounding like a fucking clown / N.O.R.E. and them had to go and take the interview down / He defended the cop that had George Floyd on the ground, he say dumb shit whenever there’s a camera around / And it’s like he say this shit without no hesitation, his friends need to make sure he taking his medication.”
On New Year’s Day, Uncle Murda kept the annual tradition alive with “Rap-Up 2022.” The G-Unit rapper basically recaps the biggest headlines of the year with his own commentary. Uncle Murda name-dropped Will Smith, Kanye West, Megan Thee Stallion, Tory Lanez, and more. While most people didn’t respond to Uncle Murda’s diss, Freddie Gibbs fired back on Twitter.

In the song, Murda summarizes Freddie Gibbs’ altercation in Buffalo. “Let’s talk about Freddie Gibbs, like really, wassup with him?/ N***as robbed him in Buffalo and he got beat up again,” Murda raps. “He be out here lookin’ like a cold-blooded sucka.”
Following the song’s release, Gibbs said that Murda has always been cordial in their interactions. “Uncle Murda be friendly as a box of puppies every time I see him,” he wrote on Twitter. Then, Gibbs took aim at Murda’s career of being a hypeman for 50 Cent.
Uncle Murda be friendly as a box of puppies every time I see him.
This certainly isn’t the first time Murda mentioned Gibbs. On “Rap-Up 2021,” Murda ripped Freddie Gibbs over his altercation with Jim Jones and Akademiks’ claims that his family is a district attorney. Murda also dissed Gibbs over his Grammy nomination, claiming the rapper didn’t deserve the honor.
In response, Gibbs said that New York City “should be ashamed of y’all non-rapping n***az” before stating that he’d return to the Big Apple for the Space Rabbit tour. Though his shows in New York went down without issues, he ended up getting ran down on in Buffalo a day later.
Besides his recent spat with Uncle Murda, Freddie Gibbs is riding high off of the release of $oul $old Seprartately.
NYC and beyond has been waiting all year for Uncle Murda’s hgihly anticipated “Rap Up 2022” just to see what rappers, entertainers and public figures the East New York, Brooklyn native was going to respectfully disrespect. Everything from the Tory Lanez vs. Megan Thee Stallion verdict to PNB Rock and Takeoff’s murders to Master P’s father/son beef with Romeo was mentioned in this year’s 2022 review.
Murda has really been working himself this past year, as the G-Unit soldier has been on tour overseas with 50 Cent and Tony Yayo as mentioned in the Rap Up.
