Name A Rapper That's Never Had A Hater?

[Heist]

So, I'm sitting here thinking about all this 50 v. Ross beef ... and all the shit said between and about them by fans and haters

And then it got me thinking -- damn, as fickle and as competitive as rap is, I can only name a handful of rappers that have NEVER had (to my knowledge) haters or a bad thing said about them.

Never a "Oh, that nigga's music sucks" or "Yo, fuck that bitch/nigga" or "That nigga's a fraud" or "He/she ain't representing...." or assorted shit like that ...

- Q-Tip
- Devin Tha Dude
- Heavy D
- Queen Latifah (Remember she came out when there was virtually NO female rappers on the scene)
- MC Lyte
- Doug E Fresh
- Slick Rick
- Biz Markie
- Yo-Yo

New Additions:
- EPMD (until they started going at each other ... Crabs in a barrel)
- Redman
- All of the Beastie Boys
...

And that's all that really comes to mind. Ain't that a fucking shame? Like 9 Rappers. Add to it if you'd like - but that's all I can think of.

what about Will Smith ?

Yo-Yo had haters.

what about Will Smith ?

Nah, Will Smith had plenty of haters. He was too "kiddie" and commerical at a time when rap was stressing "being real."

On the flipside, he was the first Rapper EVER to win a Grammy.

But the NARAS back then didn't air it on the televised portion of the show because they thought it wasn't an important category.

FF 20 years, fucking jokes on them.

who has ever had beef with squeaky clean Will Smith ?

 

[flatliners01]

what about Will Smith ?

He got flamed plenty of times but the one that sticks out the most was by Slim Shady

[Eminem]
Will Smith don't gotta cuss in his raps to sell his records;
well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too!

come on , Eminem ??? hell he take shots at everybody and besides I think Smith was doing more acting around the time Em came out with The Real Slim Shady.

They don't air 95% of the Award categories.

this was back when tribe called quest was on the low end theory lp, that song we got the jazz, phife dog goes strickly hard core tracks not a new jack swing, so i guess wrecks n effect took it as a diss cuz you know they had that song new jack swing. i heard they caught up with q-tip and beat him down pretty bad, they fucked his eye up so he has vision problems, on that video hot sex on a platter q-tip is wearing is a mask because they filmed the video soon after that fight

Don't you remember the "Hot Sex on a Platter" video? Q-Tip wore that mask because of the fight he got into with WrecksnEffects. And it come from a line that Phifedawg said in a song "strickly hardcore tracks, not a new jack swing" on the lines of something like that. Phife even went on to take another shot at them in the video itself again. Golden days of hiphop

Oh owwww!
Damn, I NEVER knew Ra and Kane had a little head to head going on.

I did pick up on that Smooth Operator - Operating Correctly on Rakim's album and did think, "Damn, doesn't Kane call himself the Smooth Operator?"

I do remember that video, yea and Q was wearing a mask. I never understood that ... I thought he was on some MF Doom shit.

But Phife said the line...

Why the fuck did Wrecks go after Q-Tip?!!!

Now I like them niggas that much less ... (They raped Pharrell on his royalties for Rump Shaker ... he helped compose and write it before he was known)

Update: Fuck Wrecks N Effect. I'm popping my goddamn Rumpshaker tape because of this nonesense. One nigga says a line, so you go after someone completely unrelated?!

It tool the Nation of Islam to squash that one

who has ever had beef with squeaky clean Will Smith ?

Not that he matters, but Bow Wow said some crap about Will Smith a few years ago.

My list of rappers w/ no haters?

Big Boi? (I'd say Andre 3K but folks hated him for his "weirdness)
Too Short
Black Thought
8Ball and MJG
Bun B (i have never heard a negative word about him)

Big Boi had a small beef with Killer Mike and Too Short had beef with the Luniz so maybe the folks who liked their opponents hated Big Boi and Too Short

I can't think of anyone for Black Thought, Bun B, or 8Ball & MJG (maybe Tony Draper).

- Q-Tip

FF to the 4:00 mark..WC goes off on Q-Tip

 

[CognacLex]

what about Will Smith ?

Cassidy has said some stuff about Will Smith in freestyles i've heard off mixtapes. Nothing real serious though. Stuff like "you claim Philly, but I never see you in Philly" type stuff

 

[LurkMode]

I can't think of anyone for Black Thought, Bun B, or 8Ball & MJG (maybe Tony Draper).

That's right. I thought about putting Killer Mike but then I remembered the beef with Big Boi but my dumb ass didn't take Big Boi off the list. You reminded me about the Luniz and Short

I'm pretty sure there wasn't any "beef" w/ Tony Draper and 8Ball & MJG. Just financial differences. I'm sure Draper would have spoke on it at some point.

 

[spicykjun]

i repeat if u r from the south u hav been hated on

- All of the Beastie Boys
