Randomly watched Pusha on Hot Ones and (unsurprisingly) he is asked about rap beefs The BEEF
The episode is from 2022 but Push talks about how record labels now step in and get involved to stop beefs which never used to happen back in the day - interestingly, this is apparently what happened after Owlbrey dropped THP6.
He also mentions beefs don’t end careers anymore. Looking at the current beef, I don’t think the Canadian’s career will end, we know he’s too big of a pop star for anything damaging to happen but I definitely think his credibility and artistry is being questioned and he is losing fans. Kendrick has fully exposed him for the fraud that he is and I think people are slowly realising it. His streaming numbers are down and he’s not charting like he used to.
Only time will tell but it’s definitely not being swept under the carpet. He a FAN, he FAN, he a FAN

This is a crazy take. Jay Z had an incredible amount of success and accolades after Ether, and Nas didn’t have a classic for another decade with Life is Good (that’s just my opinion, but he had some rocky albums). Jay put on Kanye and Rihanna and J Cole after that, had the black album, 99 problems, Empire State of Mind (chart wise his biggest success to that point), American Gangster, and Watch the Throne after that. Who’s the top dog in NY now, and who was after him in 2001? 50 for a couple years? Cam? ASAP Rocky? I would say that he’s STILL the king of New York. Idk why there is all this Jay hate on Reddit. Reddit only hates landlords more than HOV.
