Several heavy hitters released tracks this week, including Ice Cube, who has been creating music for over 25 years! Mac Miller gives a nice surprise to his fans and Rick Ross and Jeezy squash their beef to put together a song the streets have been waiting for. Here are the lines of the week:
Eminem shouted out N.W.A. in his song Rap God, whose lyricism was praised by Ice Cube himself. Cube boasts that the group’s song “Gangsta Gangsta” is a prime example of why he deserves this appreciation.
Pharrell is a fashion icon. He references his infamous hat worn during the Grammy’s, and the French brand with the heart shaped logo.
Mac is on point with his rhymes and references one of the best Disney movies of the ’90s. Shaggy haired Charlie Conway from the Mighty Ducks used the epic triple deke hockey move to win the championship game!
Chicago’s Jean Deaux is incredibly soulful and someone who is always in command. As she told RG, “Because I’m that n**** he has hit my line immediately.”
In early 2013, Ross was the target of a failed assassination attempt. Thus, he was forced to make adjustments, including squashing a long standing feud with rapper Young Jeezy and create this street anthem.
