The animosity between the Young Money camp and XXL freshmen truly surfaced back in '09 when Drake shot a "stray bullet" at XXL's Freshman class of last year on his song "Successful". As Drake so pridefully rapped, "And fans of these freshman is about to get iffy/While this youngin that you doubtin is about to get busy". However, nobody felt anyway about the line. In fact, Drake befriended many of his rap peers even though he wasn't mentioned in magazine. Now, Drake's fame has risen above and beyond a XXL co-sign with the help of Lil Wayne and his Young Money imprint. This year, we watched a deja-vu as XXL snubbed upcoming YM rapper Nicki Minaj for 10 others they thought deserved it more. Because both Young Money artists were overlooked, XXL has even given both of them their own cover.
Now with the new freshman revealed, those that did not make it are feeling salty claiming that some emcee's chosen do not deserve their spot. One of these artists is Young Money's Jae Millz. Now Jae Millz is far from a freshman, as he has peaked his submerged career's head up once or twice a year. But it seems as though this washed up battle rapper is not pleased with the list chosen and feels like their are others more deserving.
Here is his comments below:
The quote that is causing "trouble in the sea" is Millz stating that there were only 5 rappers deserving to be on the list and that the other 5 were whack. Now with all the constant Drake comparisons, of course J. Cole was quick to respond to these (slightly true) comments:
Obviously Millz couldn't have been talking about Cole (at least for Jae Millz' sake, we hope), but that leaves 9 other artists that he could have been taking aim to. Here is everyone elses response thus far (via twitter):
As you can see, unless Jae Millz says any specific names, everyone is assuming that he was not referring to them. Nipsey Hu$$le, however, had a different opinion on the matter taking a very blatent shot at Jae Millz.
Who's next to respond? Jay Rock is my guess. What needs to be understood is that half of those artists chosen for the cover are very hood bred individuals and come from a place where beef is all they know. Considering that Rock is already at Cube's neck with his recent comments about the "New West", Jay won't be too happy about this "rapping jabber jaw". Freddie Gibbs and Pills are also two artists known for their street credibility. Although Millz did specifically say "backpack" or "emo" rappers, that only covers Big Sean, Donnis, Fashawn, & Wiz Khalifa. So as long as the 5 rappers he doesn't approve of remain unnamed, everyone on that list is a target.
What will happen next? A beef would honestly only be beneficial to Big Sean or Donnis, only because their fan base hasn't been truly established yet. I doubt either will respond negatively toward this. Now if Jae Millz responds to Nipsey's jab, then that could open pandara's speakerbox. This would lead to an eventual sub-par diss record from Millz that will more than likely take jabs at more artists on the list. Once more artists from the freshman list get involved, my guess is so will the Young Money camp. We may hear diss records from the more unknown (no one cares about) artists like Sewer Sewer Gudda Gudda, Mac N Cheese Man Mac Maine, Young Twistie Top Lil Twist, and any of the other ones whose names I can't even remember to make a more appropriate name for. Now what could get interesting is if this had fueled the flames in the unspoken J. Cole vs. Drake war going around the blogger world. Only time will tell.
