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?

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.

Album Review: Dark Sky Paradise | Big Sean

BY VIKASH DASS 

It’s fair to say Big Sean has been feeling some type of way lately. Glancing over the past couple years, one could pick out that his last album, Hall of Fame, was ironically average and commercially poor, and on top of it all, he endured a very public and bitter split with his ex-fiancee and Glee star, Naya Rivera. Lately though, not only has Sean rebounded with another tabloid-attracting lover in songstress Ariana Grande, he has signed a new management deal with music-juggernaut Roc Nation, but more importantly, he has been killing every feature or single released from him in the past few months. With this overflow of amazing music, not only is he making up for lost time and turning heads in the process, but he has managed to craft his best studio album to date in his latest effort, Dark Sky Paradise.
