Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!

Yo, if he performs “Where I’m From” at fucking CARNEGIE HALL… That shit will be EPIC!
Rap Radar need to do there fucking research before they post shit. If yall niggas was real hip-hop fans you would know Mos Def and Jay Electronica had the hip-hop show at Carnegie Hall in 2008. Also weak Doug E. Fresh, The Roots, & weak ass MC lyte dis a show there in 2009. Its a good look but sorry Hov your late on making history this time.

HOV be plotting on B.Dot. he better be watching for that big Russian he be rolling with.
So S/O to Mos Def for being the FIRST hip-hop artist to headline Carnigue Hall. Also everybody made a big deal back in 2003 when Jay-Z did a concert at Madison Square Garden when Run DMC the FIRST hip-hop act to headline Madison Square Garden backin 1986. Hov get credit for too much shit. But he a legend so it whatever. Congrats.
Any of you industry people know whos the chick next to him in the black and white?
^ Damn exosed lmfao. Joe Camel thought he was making history.
@Hip-Hop Fiend Jay Electronica peformed at Carnegue Hall before Jay-Z? Wow wheres his post.

@RICKY RETARDO You Right. Afrika Bambaata and Grandmaster Melle Mel was the first offical hip-hop artist to perform at Carneguie Hall in 1985. That was b4 my time. But thats what I’m saying if the first hip-hop act to peform there was 26 years ago why is Jay-Z making headline as the first. Next there gonna say Jay-Z created hip-hop.

The concerts will take place on Feb. 6 and Feb. 7. Tickets
in the private sale will range from $500 to $2500.

@Donn Shut your bitch ass up. I appreciate niggas knowing their hip-hop history. You prolly think Wayne invented hip-hop.
Can’t hate!!! Well you can but why
Big Homie is a bitch for deleting comment because he did(kt know his hip-hop history. Leave it to B. Dot to handle the post for now on.
@The Truth
Why do you haters assume who everybody likes just to come at them lol. I have Nas, Eminem, Talib Kweli, KRS One in my iPod next to Wiz, Wayne, Drake, etc. Stop reaching.
Oh you must listen to Lil B, or Lil Wayne so ur wack lmfaooooo, is that y’all come back for everything lol
