JAY-Z’s “Brooklyn’s Finest” with Biggie Smalls started Tupac beef, Irv Gotti reveals

REVOLT’s “The Fat Joe Show” is one show from which people expect interesting stories from popular hip hop stars. Irv Gotti’s recent appearance saw the entrepreneur speaking about the initiation of JAY-Z’s former fued with the late Tupac Shakur.

Irv stated that the rapper’s collaboration with The Notorious B.I.G. on “Brooklyn’s Finest” initiated the popular beef between both the rappers, and he added that he was, at first, against the idea of JAY-Z doing the song.

He added that doubts were cast upon the ability of Hov to hold his own in a collaboration with Biggie. Moreover, there was also a worry that he may be dragged into the tension Big had with Tupac.

“That’s why ‘Pac was shitting on JAY because of ‘Brooklyn’s Finest,’” he said. “If Fay had twins/She’d probably have two Pacs,” he continued. “Get it? and JAY’s on the record with him so now he’s like, ‘Fuck you, ain’t no n-gga like me, fuck JAY-Z,’ and he starts bombing on JAY.”

Eventually, Tupac dissed JAY-Z in a few subsequent tracks. However, JAY’s clapback was not released due to the California rapper’s death.

“It never came out out of respect for the fact that he died,” DJ Clark Kent said in a past episode of the “A Waste of Time” podcast. “JAY did a record going at ‘Pac, but just as it was about to come out, son died…We performed it, though. We performed it once. You have to understand. The chip on JAY’s shoulder is so crazy, it’s just like he had to perform it.”

Although JAY-Z never got around to resolving the tensions between him and Tupac, Nas managed to meet up with Tupac backstage at the 1996 MTV Awards to realize that their feud was a result of a misunderstanding

“It was necessary for us to address the situation … We had to step to our business,” he said. “We had a great convo … He thought I was dissing him on the song “The Message.”

Bryson Tiller releases new single “Always Forever”

Bryson Tiller is back, after the release of his single “Inhale”. He returned with “Always Forever,” which witnessed productions from J-Louis, Teddy Walton, and CAMEone. In the song, Tiller can be seen singing a song about a girl who is not reciprocating his feelings for her:

“Yeah, you know I tried to stop, yeah, you know I tried, I tried to give you a little less of my time, startin’ to feel like I’m never in my right mind, in my right mind, is it the right time, babe?/

See you in the nighttime, babe, it’s nighttime, I wish you had feelings like mine, baby, feels like I’m still just a homie, actin’ like you don’t want me, yeah, no, oh, oh, shawty just don’t do it for me, you do it for me…/”

Three years ago, Bryson Tiller released his sophomore LP True To Self, wherein 19 tracks were featured with production from the likes of Boi-1da, Frank Dukes, !llmind, Keyz, T-Minus, and Wondagurl. With that album, Tiller enjoyed his first number one album on the Billboard 200, as 107,000 album equivalent units were sold during its first week of release. In 2015, his iconic debut album, T R A P S O U L, was released.

Bryson Tiller has been in the news for several reasons, such as attaining his high school diploma and writing a heartwarming letter to his late grandmother.

“Today, I realized I lost the most important woman in my life… I lost my mother at a very young age so I couldn’t really process what was happening. Today is the first time I carefully read the letter you wrote to me 4 years ago and I tried my hardest not to get tears on it or let it blow away in the wind.”

Fans can press play on “Always Forever” below.

Another white professor admits to pretending to be Black

Another white professor admits to pretending to be Black

After confessions by a college professor as well as an activist of Black Lives Matter activist, one more white person confessed that they have been pretending to be Black. CV Vitolo-Haddad — who uses nonbinary pronouns — stated that they are resigning from the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Medium, and they confessed about lying about their race.

“I am so deeply sorry for the ways you are hurting right now because of me,” they wrote in an essay titled, “A First Step.” “You have expressed confusion, shock, betrayal, anger, and mistrust. All of those things are a consequence of how I have navigated our relationships and the spaces we share.”

“I have let guesses about my ancestry become answers I wanted but couldn’t prove,” Vitolo-Haddad continued. “I have let people make assumptions when I should have corrected them.”

In another essay, they clarified that they are actually Italian, though they have been pretending to be Black and Cuban.

“It was my choice and error to identify any differently,” they wrote. “… When asked if I identify as Black, my answer should have always been ‘No.’ There were three separate instances I said otherwise.”

“I should have never entered Black organizing spaces,” the essay continued. “They are not my place. Once realizing this, it wasn’t sufficient to just leave; I should have explained that directly to the people who invited me and clarified my identity.”

The reports revealed that a job offer was presented by California State University, Fresno, which has been rescinded later. Later, a statement issued by the University of Wisconsin-Madison confirmed Vitolo-Haddad’s resignation as co-president of the university’s Teaching Assistants’ Association (TAA).

“We condemn CV Vitolo-Haddad’s appropriation of Black and Brown identities in no uncertain terms,” the TAA Executive Board and Racial Justice Committee of UW-Madison said in a statement. “They have resigned as co-president, and we have removed their access to our website, social media, and all other internal accounts.”

“We cannot speak for CV, but we as TAA leaders are profoundly sorry for the harm they have caused members of the Madison community by 1) claiming Black and Brown identities, 2) using those identities to silence and alienate activists in organizing spaces, and 3) manipulating and gaslighting Black and Brown community members who tried holding them accountable.”
