Lil Durk Explains How The Tyga Beef Began [Video]

Lil durk sat down with VladTV and explained exactly what started his beef with Tyga, saying it was a lyric he wrote about Tyga’s girlfriend Blac Chyna that set the feud in motion, the line being: “What do strippers swallow? Maliah, Blac Chyna, just don’t tell Tyga.” Durk says Tyga heard the track, asked him to change the line, and then made plans to collaborate. Tyga kept checking in to see if the line had been changed before actually sending over his verse, so Durk thought Tyga was only trying to bamboozle him into changing the lyric. Tyga never sent the verse, so Durk never changed the line. The two haven’t spoken since, although Durk insists he has no problems with Tyga at this point. The Chicago rapper then explains the concept of “sneak dissing,” saying it’s basically talking negatively about someone when that person isn’t around, with Durk remarking that he’s had to deal with it with people he thought were friends.

Common: “Nobody’s Smiling” Makes Me Feel New Again [Video]

Common addresses chatter that he worked with Kanye on “Nobody’s Smiling” (iTunes), and reveals that he didn’t collaborate with his fellow Chicago rapper for this project.

Fluent feat. Action Bronson – Medallion [Stream]

From Run DMC’s Dookie ropes to Kanye West’s Horus piece, chains have always been essential part of Hip-Hop culture. But while anyone can rock some gold around their neck and think they’re as fly as Eric B and Rakim, medallions are only worthy of a chosen few. Over this Rocky-esque “Gonna Fly Now” beat from J. Cardim, “Medallion” has Fluent revealing the inner-workings of his hustler’s ambition from a hard working youth, to his surreal, lavish lifestyle. Coupled with a hook from Action Bronson, the track is an ode for those who are moving fast from the bottom to the top, a mentality that is frequently showcased on Fluent’s upcoming LP, Supreme Victory, which is produced entirely by J. Cardim. With appearances from Nipsey Hustle, Joe Budden and Guilty Simpson, Fluent is prepared to show and prove that he can last a full 12 rounds and come out victorious.
