It looks like Anthony Tiffith, CEO of Tod Dawg Entertainment (TDE), did not take kindly to Big Sean’s subliminal Kendrick Lamar diss on his ‘Me, Myself & I‘ freestyle. In the new freestyle to promote his new album Dark Sky Paradise, Big Sean raps “Ya’ll bragging about so and so, like “Oh, he really it? The new n*gga in rap? Well can he really spit?”  Or do he just hide behind his skits like half of these rappers doin’, and ya’ll f*cking go and praise him in this bitch like they the savior of the sh*t (rap),” which may be subliminal shots to Kendrick Lamar, who many praise as the savior of rap. Well if Tiffith saw it like others did, he may have just expressed his opinion on his TwitterTiffith tweeted “YALL PLEASE LEAVE DOT (Kendrick) ALONE MAN.HE DONT TAKE NO 1 SERIOUS..HE DONT FUCK WITH NOBODY..PLZ, BECUZ WHEN HE GO,HES GONE & IT WONT BE SUBLIMINAL.” In simpler terms, Kendrick Lamar (as he did in his Big Sean collaboration ‘Control’) calls out rappers directly (not subliminally, perhaps in contrast to Big Sean). Is a Kendrick Lamar response coming soon?

In promotion of his new horror film The Lazarus Effect, which hits theaters this Friday, Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) paid a visit to NBC’s The Today Show. After talking about his upcoming film projects and social media, Donald gave some interesting comments on the future of his music career. “I always want to do music. I love music and I’m already putting out projects quietly everywhere. I guess Childish Gambino is a period in my art time, I want to have periods in my life. I feel like Childish Gambino is a period that should come to a close. I like endings,” said Glover. Is Donald essentially hinting a retirement from music, or maybe just a name change from his Childish Gambino moniker? Only time will tell, but we definitely don’t want to see the music chapter of Glover’s life come to an end.

Although the special filmed last month, tonight aired the B.E.T. Honors: What Extraordinary Looks Like program where Kanye West accepted the Visionary Award. The award was presented to Kanye from Dame Dash (founder of Roc-A-Fella Records), the man who introduced Kanye to the world. The highlights of Kanye’s speech included a hilarious jab at Kim Kardashian’s former boyfriends and a heartfelt story on race, shared to Kanye by Kim, about her late father, Robert Kardashian. Before he passed (as told by Kanye) Robert Kardashian’s car was vandalized with the slur “n*gger lover”, because of his legal defense of OJ Simpson. Soon after, Robert Kardashian tried to chase down the men who vandalized his Bentley. When a young Kim was uncertain why her father was so upset, since he was normally calm and mellow, Robert told his daughter, “one day you may have a black child… and it will be hard.” A powerful story that foreshadowed the harassment that Kim and many others still experience many years later.

Did Big Sean Diss Kendrick Lamar on His “My, Myself & I” Freestyle?

Looks like Big Sean may have took shots and dissed Kendick Lamar on his new ‘Me, Myself & I’ freestyle, which samples Beyonce’s 2003 track of the same name. Doesn’t look like it’s anything serious, after-all it’s only rap and Sean and Kendrick are friends, but in the track Sean disses a so-called “savior or rap”, a label often given to Sean’s fellow ‘Control’ rapper Kendrick Lamar. In the track, Big Sean raps:

“Ya’ll bragging about so and so, like “Oh, he really it? The new n*gga in rap? Well can he really spit?”  Or do he just hide behind his skits like half of these rappers doin’, and ya’ll f*cking go and praise him in this bitch like they the savior of the sh*t (rap).”

To provide a bit of context, not only is King Kendrick frequently referred to as rap’s savior (Google “rap savior” if you don’t believe us), but Kendrick’s critically acclaimed debut album, good kid m.A.A.d. city, has over 10 skits within the LP (which can’t really compare to any other rapper’s use of skits). Listen to the track (1:45 mark) below and judge for yourself.
