How D12 really felt about playing second fiddle to Eminem
Thoughts on the lead singer of the band.
A no win situation rather than a test of skill.
Kendrick Lamar has never defined success by numbers alone.
At 30, Lil Baby says the public image attached to his name no longer reflects who he really is. In a rare moment of openness, he explains how silence, click culture and generational disconnect have shaped the misconceptions he is now using his music to confront.
‘Not Like Us’ was treated as a Drake takedown, but its real power comes from Kendrick Lamar using the moment to reclaim identity, community and cultural ownership. The track is a West Coast statement, rooted in values, lineage and local pride rather than celebrity sparring.
Central Cee has smashed every record a British rapper could dream of in America. From ‘BAND4BAND’ breaking the Hot 100 top 20 to his album Can’t Rush Greatness debuting in the Billboard 200 top 10, the West London star has finally done it. He has broken America on his own terms.
