Back in ‘04, Eminem and Cam’ron nearly clashed in an all-out beef. What would’ve happened if the two engaged in a full-scale war of words? Experts say: volcanos would’ve erupted, magnetic poles would’ve shifted, the Earth would’ve rotated off its axis.

The beef stemmed from D12’s “40 Oz” video, where they recreated a scene from “Get Em Girls”, and Em attacked a phony Cam. Killa took offense to this, in turn, had two diss tracks powered by DJ Kay Slay ready to fire off at Shady and DJ Green Lantern: “k--- em Cam” and “My b----”.

Though the tracks never surfaced (to my knowledge) Cam has taken shots at Em through freestyles, recreating “Stan” and firing off on all cylinders.

The beef was interesting for numerous reasons. Eminem, at this point, was falling off from his peak due to drug addiction while Cam and Dipset were taking over the East Coast with an iron fist. That doesn’t mean Em wasn’t still sharper than the middle finger of Freddy Krueger’s glove. He was still witty, bars delivered like Jon Jones’ elbows and he dropped rhymes as if he’s mastered them over lifetimes.

By the time Purple Haze invaded Walkmans, Killa was a technical marvel on the mic. Where Em put effort into his technical skill, Cam executed effortlessly as if he rhymed off muscle memory alone.

In this Yay or Nay, Cam would’ve bodied Eminem if this beef kicked off in 2004.

Hello, S80! We’ve been through a lot as a forum, now haven’t we? We’ve had stalkers, weirdos, and white supremacists take over the place. It’s been disheartening to see a rap forum that loves Black Culture take this direction. We’re the only place I can think of that has spoken on Tom McDonald in a positive light. Isn’t that telling?

So we have to rectify the situation. The summer is here, things are starting to pick up in the world (even though I’m wearing a mask as I type this). We have the opportunity not only as a forum but as people to grow and take care of our neighbors. Sure, we have people like Grimace and other creeps that made our experiences uncomfortable... but I say it’s time to start a new chapter.

Yay or Nay is a beloved, appreciated thread here. Andy and I realized not only did this give S80 activity but it’s quite fun! That’s one thing Grimace did right. So here we are ready to pick this back up! Tentatively, we will be switching between New School and the Old School eras of rap music.

For the first Yay or Nay, we are going to present the argument of:

Culture II > Culture I

The first time I heard Migos’ Culture, I was high off my rocker. With a lit blunt in the ashtray and a tall boy of a cheap, terrible beer on the nightstand; I was jamming out with the Migos from the comfort of my room. Culture presented itself to the masses during a time of need: Donald Trump started his dictatorship, we started giving a s--- about the Royals thanks to Megan Markle, and the World simply s----d.

Culture came to us in an illuminating glow like the second coming of Jesus Christ. The three wise men in Takeoff, Quavo, and Offset were here presenting the gifts of luxury auto tune , Lil Uzi Vert’s infamous Bad and Boujee verse, and groupies eating Molly like it’s rice. During that angelic 58 minutes, the World didn’t seem so bad after all. And Travis Scott didn’t sound bored with his verses back then.

With the bar being set with Culture, how were they going to top it with the sequel? It's simple: bigger and better. Culture II was a Trap Blockbuster set to not only capitalize off the first installment but to elevate the culture altogether. Culture II is much longer, which some viewed as one of the project’s central issues. On top of the nearly 2-hour runtime, the Migos were virtually everywhere. They’ve completely saturated the market from a slew of features (including Katy Perry) to brand endorsements such as Avianne Jewelers and Beats by Dre.


Culture II is more polished than its predecessor and greatly more versatile in terms of production too. While the album’s length was initially a highly coveted topic, Migos were ahead of the game, more ahead than Uzi’s Eternal Atake Deluxe Edition madness. How you may ask? The streaming game. They capitalized while the industry wasn’t still transitioning and stayed afloat.

You can make a few 10-track albums out of Culture II’s original tracklist and still come out with a product that’s stronger than the first installment. That’s why, I say:

Culture II > Culture

Yay or Nay? Discuss below.

THE PROMPT: 'OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN > BOB DYLAN AND IT'S NOT CLOSE'


YAY OR NAY MOTHERFUCKAS

Have you heard Cam’s disses in general? He slapped the s--- out of Nas and Hov. He’s fearless.

Em picked opponents that couldn’t fight back as hard.

oh, no question

i’ve grown to like tpab a little more over time—and i think it’s going to go down as his definitive record—but i think the music outshines his rapping, which suffocates a lot of songs in a bad way.

od, by contrast, is everything that makes him great as a rapper distilled. for example: “average joe” is the whole thesis of gkmc in a single song, and his actual vocal take is better than anything on that album.

I'm with everybody who's saying that "Toxic" is the quintessential Britney Spears Bop. However, my favorite song by her is "Stronger". Don't judge me. *Longest Pause Ever*

Saw a Britney performance when I was in Vegas, like 2017 I think it was..it was a lot better than expected. I know she mostly doesn't sing live and I knew that going in (tbh if you go to her show at this point and don't know that, that's on you..she's been around 20 years)..but she actually broke from her usual routine and did a cover of the Bonnie Raitt song 'something to talk about' live which was cool. Britney killed it overall...great fun show. She's also even hotter in person and still hot as f--- nowadays...

Just glad I got drunk before I went in, cuz the waitress lady asked me if I wanted a drink and I asked for a beer and it was like $35 so i said naw lol...think that's the highest price I've ever seen for a regular beer.

I was lucky enough to be old enough to watch her from the jump in her first era, man the whole world was crushing on her then. She was the first poster I ever hung in my room lol. I’d say her impact, sales and run was the biggest during her first prime as a pop culture phenomenon, but I’d have to agree that Circus from the second era was her best album for sure.

 

Jan 16, 2021

yeah, britney is at worst the third best female pop artist of all time, nothing wrong with loving some brit!

I agree that first run is more iconic, you are watching her become a tour de force and totally change pop music. The second run is like watching a master at her craft. She wasn't shifting the genre anymore, she was showing that no matter where it was going she was still the Queen.
