Poo Diddley.

[marechal]

Even I, who know almost no rappers, have heard of Diddley.

Here's a nice story I read the other day:

If you thought that Snoop Dogg was the top dogg in the 1990s, think again. The 51-year-old rapper recently opened up about a time when none other than Dionne Warwick — legendary vocalist and unofficial queen of Twitter — once put him in his place.

Snoop recalled a time when she set up a meeting with a group of prominent ’90s rappers after deciding she’d had enough of the misogynistic lyrics notoriously present in the decade’s rap canon. The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” artist, Suge Knight and more were invited to arrive at her home no later than 7 in the morning — a prospect so intimidating, Snoop says he and his peers were all in her driveway by 6:52 a.m.

“We were kind of, like, scared and shook up,” Snoop said. “We’re powerful right now, but she’s been powerful forever. Thirty-some years in the game, in the big home with a lot of money and success.”

Once they arrived, the rappers were confronted by Warwick, who demanded they call her a “b—h” to her face. After all, that was the term many of them had been using to describe women in their lyrics.

“You guys are all going to grow up,” she told the group. “You’re going have families. You’re going to have children. You’re going to have little girls, and one day that little girl is going to look at you and say, ‘Daddy, did you really say that? Is that really you?’ What are you going to say?”

“She was checking me at a time when I thought we couldn’t be checked,” added Snoop, who actually did go on to welcome a daughter in addition to three sons. “We were the most gangsta as you could be, but that day at Dionne Warwick’s house, I believe we got out-gangstered that day.”

The Death Row Records owner says he was then inspired to change his musical approach, starting with his 1996 record Tha Doggfather. “I made it a point to put records of joy – me uplifting everybody and nobody dying and everybody living,” he continued. “Dionne, I hope I became the jewel that you saw when I was the little, dirty rock that was in your house. I hope I’m making you proud.”

Poor sod. That's just libel.

Hahaha, yeah. Cultural appropriation gone wrong.

Diddy Diddy diddly.

"The son of rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman on a yacht during a family holiday in St Martin in 2022.

Grace O'Marcaigh says Christian "King" Combs physically and sexually assaulted her, according to a lawsuit filed in a civil court in Los Angeles on Thursday.

His father, who is facing a federal sex trafficking probe, is also named in the lawsuit for aiding the alleged assault."

They're getting in quick.

At least he knows who his dad is.

Although maybe it would have been better in this case that he didn't.

They can't help themselves, can they?

"A former cameraman for Megan Thee Stallion who alleges that he was trapped inside a moving vehicle with the hip-hop star in a foreign country while she had sex with a woman has filed a lawsuit accusing the entertainer of harassment and a hostile work environment.

Emilio Garcia said in the suit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court that after the alleged incident he was warned, “don’t ever discuss what you saw,” and berated, fat-shamed and treated differently by Megan."

At it again. What's wrong with these people?

"Drake has denied allegations of child sex offences and of him harbouring a secret child, both levelled at him by Kendrick Lamar in recent days.

The enmity between the rap superstars has escalated over a series of diss tracks in the past few weeks, culminating in a flurry of activity during the weekend with three tracks by Lamar and two by Drake.

Lamar’s most serious allegations come on Not Like Us, with the line: “Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young … Certified Lover Boy? Certified paedophiles … Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.”

Drake ducks as his muscle is nearly buried in beef flap.

Why the fuck are the BBC using the word "beef" in the headline? Do they think we're in Compton?

[perrykneeham]

Dem Street.

[marechal]

Lamar must have found Drake with one of his b!tches and sporting his beef.

[Repat Van]

Ew.

Anyway Lamar has a fiancée who he has been with for decades.

[marechal]

Well, way to f**k up my joke Lamar.

That sounds like he's a gay man. His wiki profile makes him sound even gayer.
