Skinny blogger swag, yeah I be on my T.I.

"Talkin' about you sell dope, you 'bout to hop in Lambos
You live with yo' momma, and she live with yo' grandma
Spent yo' last on the ruger, now you ain't got no ammo
Now when my soljas catch ya you gon' think they wearin' camo"


Foxx - Shut Up
(From Foxx Mayweather mixtape; 2012)



I'm all up in your Best Rap Dis Songs Of All Time Spotify playlist editing it to include Foxx's Shut Up. This shit was directed at Mista and Young Ready, but the specifics of the beef aren't important: it's just a funny slice of Louisiana tuba-step with zingers which have ricocheted & reverberated around my brain for the last 12 years. "Shootin' with yo' eyes closed hopin' you don't hit shit/Oh you a hitman, but in jail you hit dicks!"

The same mixtape Shut Up comes from also contains I Wonder. One of the ultimate Baton Rouge barbiturate-ballads. War inside in my head Blues-Rap for brothers with suicidal tendencies like Rocky George.

Coming dangerously close to rap boomer territory with this one, but I really can't find the motivation to dive into the Kendrick / Cole / Drake / Rick Ross et al beef.

Listened to parts of one of those Kendrick disses and aside from some good lines here and there it just does nothing for me. Couldn't even finish listening to the song.

That Not Like Us is okay, but I couldn't care less about that beef.

If Kendrick had a more commanding presence when he raps maybe it would be more effective but he sounds about as unthreatening as possible.
