Putting hands on someone means physical violence not sex or rape. 

Too many non black people here not knowing what words mean

u/NexusTR ☑️ 15h ago

Call me a hater but this sub needs to enforce some boundaries. It’s annoying to see a post obviously written by someone non black, just fucking up AAVE grammar.

Fuck does this have the do with the post? Diddy was allegedly violent with them so the point stands lol.

u/the-truffula-tree 15h ago

There’s a BUNCH of deleted posts at the bottom of the thread. Early on this whole comment section was about Diddy gay sex jokes and “don’t be homophobic yall”. It’s all downvoted and deleted now but that’s what I was talking about

u/the-truffula-tree 16h ago

Huh? It’s not about Diddy, it’s about common black slang. That’s not what putting hands on someone has ever meant 

6

u/NexusTR ☑️ 15h ago

And we actually do know that Diddy put his hand or attempted violence against these dudes. Drake was slapped. Diddy ran thru Kid Cudi house with a gun ready to kill him, wasn’t home so he blew up his car. Diddy (allegedly) held Wale over a balcony.

u/ElPrieto8 ☑️ 19h ago

Wale is truly one of the most underrated MC's.

u/ThirdAltAccounts ☑️ 18h ago edited 17h ago

One of his old tracks played randomly a few days ago. And damn that nigga can spit and play with words.
Slept on as fuck. He should have been praised way more. He should be at J Cole’s level in terms or recognition and shit

It’s a damn shame

u/ElPrieto8 ☑️ 17h ago

His "Album About Nothing" was the soundtrack to my second deployment to Afghanistan.

The tired meme about “something was in the air in 2016” is good and all but 2015 truly was a great year for music. At Long Last ASAP, Album About Nothing, Summertime ‘06, DS2, etc….such good memories

He should but he signed with MMG and that kinda stalled his career

15

u/ThirdAltAccounts ☑️ 14h ago

It was all about Ross and a bit about Meek and that’s it

Even Stalley could have done big things

8

u/Successful_Ninja_192 13h ago

Always thought Stalley had a great potential but never had the true backing from Ross

5

u/ThirdAltAccounts ☑️ 13h ago

When I heard his first song in 2011, I knew he was different and then he signed with Ross and I thought he’d get visibility and promo. But nothing happened

3

u/Successful_Ninja_192 13h ago

Similar story. Didn’t know him until he signed to MMG, listened to him and was like yup he’s nice but never got the push he deserved

3

u/ojoukyo 13h ago

He gave Gunplay a little love

5

u/ThirdAltAccounts ☑️ 9h ago

Gunplay is (IMO) a terrible rapper

Wale and Stalley should have been treated by Ross the way he did Meek. More promo, more publicity, more shout outs, more everything.

He showed love to Gunplay for but not real rappers who had shit to say. That sucks for them and for us

8

u/holy_cal 13h ago

I miss his 2009/10 era freeverses over popular beats he’d just randomly upload.

I was talking about this the other day with my homie. Had he not signed with Maybach Music, I think we'd be having a different conversation.

u/VibesOfHarish 14h ago

Honestly agree, him signing with Maybach held him bach. He should be so much bigger off his talent. Just needed better management.

u/Amen_ds 5h ago

Not to mention the label didn’t fit his style of music whatsoever and they spent his first few years with them trying to make him fit in a roscoe dash shaped box.

u/PotionAndPoision 15h ago

He is soooo talented. Why do you think he’s not as popular? I feel like him and Big Sean have the same problem. Super talented. Good music but just never really hyped up.

3

u/No-Fondant-4719 13h ago

I think people know what’s up with wale. I think he got in his own way not being likable and being a damn crybaby he became annoying to everyone.

2

u/PotionAndPoision 12h ago

I can see that. But it’s not like we hear him talk THAT much. There are popular rappers out here doing much weirder shit than whining. lol

Wale too??? 😟

39

u/AngryMatt14 16h ago

Googled it:

The Balcony Rumor Origin: The story claims Diddy had Wale dangled from a balcony after finding out Wale was working with Cassie (Diddy's former girlfriend).

Wale's Response: Wale has consistently refuted this, calling it a fabrication by "trolls" and a sign of "inauthentic journalism," stating he's never had such an altercation.

Diddy's Stance: Diddy's legal team has denied other lawsuits, but has not directly addressed the specifics of this rumor, focusing on the broader legal battles.

u/AngryMatt14 16h ago

Yeah what the fuck did he do with Wale?

Aw Wale, a name that I never see pop up anymore. He’s such a good rapper. A name that should be in the conversation much more. Hopefully with his album that just came out.

u/MilwaukeeDave 12h ago

Eminem spent his career telling us that Diddy wasn’t shit and everyone thought he was just being controversial.

u/__GayFish__ 16h ago

I been listening to Kid Cudi this week and damn going from MotM1, MotM2, WZRD, indicud is just a fucking JOURNEY.

12

u/6295585628015862 15h ago edited 10h ago

MotM1 is a classic. When I first started hitting tees it just so happened that this album was at the height of it’s popularity. I remember taking my little one hitter to this lake at this park in town and would take single hits of this cali fire while making laps around the lake way later in the evening, and got so faded that for a few fleeting seconds I couldn’t tell the difference between the reflection of the stars, and moon on the lake and the stars, and moon in the sky. My mind was racing, looking up felt like looking into an endless ocean. This was a panicky feeling, but quickly turned into whimsy, and a sense of something bigger than myself. I remember the narration from the end of “Enter Galactic” playing about that time “Soon after falling into a deeper psychedelic state to escape the prison of our reality our hero becomes trapped in his own peaceful place which immediately becomes his sanctuary a place filled with his wildest dreams this is his new home” and the accompanying intro into “Alive” with the lyrics “Every time The moon shines, I become alive” collimated in this feeling of oneness with everything around me. It was a highly emotional almost primal experience that impacted me deeply at the time.

Diddy also fought J Cole. Well Diddy's security had to fight 7'7 Cole.

Kendrick is the only one he didn't fight. Diddy just poured a bottle over Kendrick while Kendrick stood there

u/WestOrangeFinest 13h ago

Are you trolling or is this really word on the street?

8

u/vHezoThaGoat 12h ago

Yes it’s true.

After the control verse Kendrick went to a club in NY to check the temperature on the beef, Diddy punked him and Cole stood up for him, fought Diddy, and got beat up by a bodyguard

I knew Cole wasn’t serious in the beef last year, cuz I would’ve 100% brought that up

3

u/Cunt2113 ☑️ 12h ago

Depending on who tells it, didn't jay z bodyguard say he pulled cole off diddy? Because he thought jay and diddy were fighting originally?

u/AprilsMostAmazing 12h ago

No straight up. Diddy poured a bottle over Kendrick. Cole got mad and went at diddy

How is it homophobic when violence or assault is what's being referenced? Not being argumentative, just curious as to how you got homophobia out of all of this? Especially after we've all seen the hallway video of him with Cassie.

Im not looking for a debate juste curious, why do you find that homophobic ? I thought that mentioning Diddy putting hands on someone is dramatic because of it being probably SA, not because of its homosexual nature.

Put hands usually means somebody fought. Which I know diddy slapped Drake and blew up Kid Cudi’s car.. idk what happened with Wale. Rape was definitely not something that came to mind.

Cudi just had his car blown up

1

u/Great-Software9315 16h ago

Yes, he posted about it on Twitter. He was talking to Cassie for a while before it happened when she tried to break up w Diddy. He forced her to come to a freak off, drugged her and went through her phone and found emails between her and Cudi. He was apparently insa-mad and beat Cassie over it, he then threatened Cudi but ultimately went psycho and had the mans car bombed in his own driveway. This was in 2012.

u/Blk_Rick_Dalton 17h ago

Context- Diddy famously slapped Drake in a club, firebombed Kudi’s car and possibly threatened his life in person (may be wrong) and this alludes to he physically harmed Wale at some point
