Ludacris Disses Drake and Big Sean

It is crazy how new rappers that haven't been on the scene for more than 4 years would come up and start talking reckless about legends in the game. I do consider Ludacris a legend of his era, and i think it is really disrespectful that Drake and Big Sean would say some negative things about Ludacris...Come on son! Luda would reap them to pieces on a lyrical level. Before i get lost in putting down my thoughts, i would like to address the issue at hand. Ludacris just dropped a new mixtape (1.2 Gigawatts) and on a track (bada boom) off it, he dissed Drake and Big Sean. Luda actually used the "pause, stop" flow (the style Big Sean Claims he created) on his "My Chick Bad" track, off his BATTLE OF THE SEXES Album.


To set the record straight, Ludacris was only defending himself. A couple of months ago, Drake got on an interview and was going on about how Ludacris stole Big Sean's style, and was using it all wrong...and then, in another interview, Big Sean supported that claim. I think that is really really funny. I have both Drake and Big Sean's albums on my phone right now, and there are some songs from them that i really enjoy, but these dudes are kids in hip hop...they need a history lesson. The "pause, stop" flow that Drake claims Luda stole from Big Sean has been in use probably before Big Sean clocked 10 years old. Q-Tip was using it in the 90s after he went solo...and Biggie also used it a couple of times. It is really funny watching them talk reckless and all that...it is almost like listening to two kids talking about how their friend from the other street invented the "back-hand" smash in Table Tennis.


Well, i know there a lot of people from the younger generation that wont buy what i am saying, but it is all good. Anyway, let me go on with the reporting. To understand the whole story, i would like to give you the big picture. Below is what Drake said about Ludacris stealing Big Sean's style-

"Well, that flow has been killed by so many rappers. And, I never want to use that flow again in life. [Laughs] I wanted to take if off my album, because I was like, 'I shut 'em down. Onyx.' I hate the fact that that rhyme is still in there. To be honest, that flow, you can trace it back to like...I trace it back to Big Sean (artist on Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music). That's the first guy I heard utilize that flow throughout the duration of a verse. I'll give him that credit. I think Kanye got it from him. Me and Wayne found a dope way to do it. I don't want to sound cocky, but the best way its been used was on "Forever." Those lines just all individually make so much sense. They're all punchlines. Then a bunch of rappers started doing it and using the most terrible references in the world. I don't want to offend somebody...I hate that rappers picked that flow up. I wish they had left that for people that know how to use it. [They go like] "It's a parade! MACY'S!" (All Hip Hop)

And then check out what Big Sean said-

"With the super duper flow, I created that one word rhyme style," Big Sean said in an interview. "Drake really made it more popular, but Drake gave me the credit and was like, 'I really got that from Big Sean.' I think some artists just did it so wack man. Every time I say names I get in trouble and it's like I'm dissing, but some people used it wack. If he said Ludacris used it wack, hey. Don't get it wrong I'm not trying to dis Ludacris or nothing. He's a great MC. But even though that style got so overused, there was a lot of people who did it great and there was a lot of people who didn't do it so great. People always ask me was you mad that people took that style from you. I'm like, 'Nah, that went and shows me how far I can go as an artist.' I feel like I changed hip-hop. I haven't even dropped an album yet. So that goes to show me how powerful my mind is.'" (RapFix)


And below is Luda's diss-


"I'm the truth in this booth and you n*ggas all h*es," Luda raps. "Counterfeit rappers say I'm stealing they flows, but I can't steal what you never made up b*tch/Y'all some duplicate rap cloning n*ggas/I manufacture you h*es put on your makeup b*tch. ... Let me explain, nothing's been new since Big Daddy Kane/Flows'll get recycled, passed around to different names -- Y'all get a couple hit records, make some noise and have the nerve to start shouting?/Who's gassing 'em?/ ... May not like the way I used it, but you know you ain't invent it, boy/Do your research before you make a claim so bogus that's disrespecting pioneers in the game ... 'My Chick Bad' went platinum, still winning motherf*cker!" ("Bada Boom")


This whole thing would probably end with Big Sean and Drake apologizing and saying they didn't mean it that way. They definitely don't want none of Luda on the battle tip...it might not end their careers, but it will surely dent it. This is the link to the song- bada boom
