Jay-Z Responds to T-Pain’s Diss

So I’m sure you all have heard about the negative things that T-Pain has had to say about Jay-Z during a weekend performance he had in Las Vegas. For those who aren’t familiar with this incident, footage of T-Pain boldly dissing Jay landed online recently. Via YouTube T-Pain says in his own words:

“But Jay-Z is 59 years old, I don’t think he has the right to say if it’s dead,” Pain said to a crowd. “That’s just me, that’s just me. Because I didn’t come here to preach, I didn’t come here to have a sermon. I came here to have fun, now ladies and gentlemen, I will give you the full right and the ability to kick my ass if you see Jay-Z do this — Now I just want to clarify, are there any Jay-Z fans in the crowd — but you don’t see me saying rap is dead. Even though it is because all the rappers are trying to do T-Pain.”

Seems like someone is still a little salty regarding that Death Of Auto-Tune joint. Well Jay has decided to respond. While speaking with Ed Lover on the “Ed Lover Show” Jay definitely had something to say about T-Pain’s rant.

“I made it very clear I wasn’t talking about him [on ‘Death of Autotune’],” Jay explained. “I think he’s talented, I don’t thik he needs auto-tune to sell records but if that’s his prerogative — Everybody has a birthday. They don’t have much else to say, they can’t attack my credentials as an artist or my lyrics as an emcee.”

What else is there to really say but that? I wonder if T-Pain is going to make a counter claim. Maybe even a diss track? I’d love to hear that one. Well Jay-Z hasn’t commented any further, and I don’t think he even needs to waste his time. Each artist just needs to keep doing their own thing, with or without auto-tune.

Saigon Speaks on Joe Budden’s Hardships

It seems as if Joe Budden just refuses to stay out of the media. Most recently rapper Saigon has given his two cents regarding Budden’s problems with the entire Wu-Tang Clan, especially Raekwon and explains exactly how it truly came about. According to Saigon, he is the reason that other emcees keep attacking Budden. According to Miss Drama TV:

“You gotta kick a dog while he’s down? [laughs],” Saigon said in an interview with Ms. Drama. “You got to kick Joe Budden while he’s down? [You’re] wrong for that. Joe Budden is going through a — he’s having a hard time…I feel sorry for Joe Budden, word, and he did it to himself. I was the first domino that did this to him. He should have not fucked with me. He fucked with me and his life ended. His career, his life, it was a domino effect. The second I did it to him, everybody felt like they could jump on. He regrets it. He got punched in the eye by six people [laughs] and he started apologizing. ‘I’m sorry.’ I was mad that he didn’t fight back after talking about me when I went out like a hero, nigga, it’s six people.”

Well whether that is true or not is unsure but what we do know is that Budden is still ticking a bunch of people off after his complaining about Vibe.com’s Hip-Hop artist chart. I wonder if he feels like he should’ve just kept those comments to himself. Budden has yet to comment but you can check out Saigon’s interview with Ms. Drama below.
