Righteous anger? Big Dawg Westwood lays into the Mic

It started off with Devlin dropping in on Westwood’s show to talk about his new music…

At 5 minutes 20 seconds Devlin drops in Mic Righteous’ name.

“I see other people trying to come through, even if there not my favourite MC’s like Mic Righteous. At least he’s trying to be lyrical man, so I have to respect that little corner. I’m all for the lyrics.”

 

Then last night Westwood decided to comment on how no-one was beefing, not mentioning any names but we all knew who he was talking about, especially when he said GO back to Margate.This is what the Big Dawg said last night…

“His (Devlin) interview is online, he didn’t name names of who he was really pointing the finger at, but people are claiming it’s them, and I was here and I talked to him on mic and off mic, and it’s not you you just want the promo kid, you just want the promo. Don’t take the promo baby. You just want to big your chest up and claim beef when there’s no beef there. I read your timeline don’t get it twisted kid, your sour. Fix your face sucker. Don’t be claiming what you want…it aint you. Go back to Margate.”

Its still too early to imagine how this might develop, but the idea of 2 equally talented lycrical heavyweights wading into each other is an exciting prospect. Although having said that, why is Westwood getting hot and bothered about it? I guess he’s still angry at being fired from his show.

50 Cent Isn’t Worried About The New Generation Of Rappers & Has A Message For Young Buck

After the release of the Lost Tapes with DJ Drama, 50 Cent spoke with All Hip Hop, and in part two speaks on the younger generation of hip hop artists and why he has nothing to worry about. 

His ten year run of the Forbes list of the of the Wealthiest Hip Hop Artists is why he isn’t sweating. This year he ranked as 5th, not bad for someone who hasn’t released an album in 3 years.

“I been on the Forbes list 10 years straight – consecutively,” he said. “When I came on the Forbes [list] this year, I’m like, ‘Would you look at that? I’m still there.’ I’ve been on a motherfuckin’ lunch break – I’ve been on vacation and I’m still there. Now I’m telling you I’m hustling in a different way and it’s paying off. If you look at it, I ain’t put an album out in three years, and I’m still in the list? Okay, let’s see the other guys do that.”

He then spoke on former G Unit rapper Young Buck who he gave a lot of support to and how he shouldn’t have “bit the hand that feeds.”

“Where I’m from, we got a code of conduct that we follow: don’t bite the hand that feeds you,” he said. “If somebody [wants] to make you a success and comfortable in every way, down to the point that I pay your taxes for you after you [mismanage your money]…and you still [act] disrespectful and say the kind of shit you saying? Niggas is lucky you don’t just kill ‘em. Niggas shot me for $5,000…[I] feel fuckin’ sorry for somebody that has no opportunities; [I] don’t feel sorry for the person who did something stupid.”
