The verbal sparring match coincidentally started in Complex Magazine's December 2006 issue when Weezy fired off at Clipse and their then producer Pharrell.
"I don’t see no fucking Clipse. This is a fucking legend you’re talking to right here. How many years them niggas been around? Who the fuck is Pharrell? Do you really respect him? That nigga wore BAPE and y’all thought he was weird. I wore it and y’all thought it was hot." Said Wayne.
Clipse then went on record slandering Weezy numerous times throughout the year...most notably during a Lace Magazine Interview as well as a DJ Kay Slay Drama Hour Interview.
"You can’t kiss other men, you can’t wobble dee-wobble dee, and and you can’t bite styles. You can’t bite everybody’s styles. You can’t try to rap like Jay-Z, dress like the Clipse, become a coke dealer after 5 albums, and now dress like Jim Jones. You can’t do all that and be a legend. You have to be a trendsetter and he ain’t setting any trends." Said Pusha T.
One year later, Lil Wayne has graced the cover of Complex as well as broken his silence regarding the Duo.
"I thought the whole ‘Mr. Me Too’ video was about me, to tell you the damn truth. They think I want to be like them.
I’m on a million-dollar bus going around the world charging people from $50,000 to $150,000 for verses, and I got 77 songs in
In other news…
magazines and I got a billion more. Do the math; you think I’m trying to be like you? No sir." Said Wayne.

Yea, but we gotta be real they are all accusations, so what they got pulled some tendencies, if that's tha case we all trying to be like everyone cuz we all wear similar clothes, People call Hov a legend and he rock tha rockstar look at times, I mean you can't feed into someones words when it's obvious they mad, yea it makes sense but so do lame a$$ scientist who say we come from monkeys, and integrated ever adjusting cells; but if you think I'm gon say I evolved from a monkey you crazy...
DAT SHIT STUPID WAT THEY SAID any nigga can wear what they want when they get ready to so i guess dat mean er body in the world wana be like er body else cuz when new shit cum out if the shit clean then niggas gone rock the shit so wat the fuck they mean and just like wayne said niggas started rocking BAPES WHEN HE STARTED ROCKING THEM NOT THAT BITCH PHARREL
at the end of the day, wayne may dress like jim jones try and rap like jay-z with the whole not writing any rhymes thing and spittin it straight off da head in the studio but point is HES GETTING MONEY, i like the clipse dey koo but whose gettin more money, whoseon more mixtapes and whose featured on more magazine covers......wayne thats the end of the story errybody shud jus cut dis whole talkin behind other niggas baks on radio shows and what not, half of these dudes who do dat will not say anything to a mans face only when they are on the air they speak fuk all dat shyt. beef is when theres yellow tapes surroundin a body with the forensic team pikin up evidence not this lame shyt. man get money n shutup
I seriously hate when yall talk about how much money a rapper is getting' It pisses me off because their money is OUR fuckin' money.
WE control their budget/payroll/income! WE!
SO all that "I'm on top of the world ballin'" shit could easily be reversed if WE stop buying their shit!
I make 50k-150k per song...blah blah blah... ONLY because the fans are still showing u love...
~Be Eazy!
wiz101 MAJOR COSIGN, secondly i dont believe him... he's backtracking his success terribly, he can't comprehend that he dosent BEEF! i mean shit if you wanna "aim" at someone aim at fifty the dude said he'd "break your neck"
see what's funny to me it's been proven that almost everything bout wayne is fake da nigga neva lived da life he raps about and when it come to his money he really make money but he dom't get cuz he stated that even though he don't get paid all his money from baby, baby give wayne whateva he want though (like a 5 year old child), and wayne swagga jack everybody I haven't seen anything he has originated yet and also he talks about pharell butc I often see wayne on magazines and t.v. wearing ice creams which is pharell shit (maybe he don't know though)
I DONT THINK HES TRYING 2 BE LIKE JAY-Z THEY SOUND AND SWAGGA IS NOTHING ALIKE IF U ASK ME WEEZY BETTER THAN JAY AT THE END OF THE DAY JAY GOT HIS SWAGGA FROM BIGGIS WHEN JAY FIRST START POPPIN' HIS FLOW WAS DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT UNTIL HE STOLE BIGGIE SWAGGA LIL WAYNE IS A PROBLEM THAT NIGGA FIRE
Jokesta i would appericate if u would band bitches of defsounds cuz dem bitches jus like wayne cuz of his looks u dumb bitches dnt analyze music hows wayne betta den hov? cuz u dnt understand wat he says?? would it b better if he put shit out dat a 1st grader could understand weezy punches r so elimentary bitch is u stupid?
n secondly how is big n jay swagg alike i bet ya fatass n along wit ur other cock suckin weezy fans were not sayin dat till ya'll heard dat biting shit dat cam put out n cam aint even put it out it was already out no 1 payed attention till cam spoke on it n so wat he take a few lines every takes lines its not like he used biggie punch lines or sample biggie shit on a hook like millions of ppl do 2 jay-z so really think about dat
lol i cosign ma nigga rich yung (ol girl aint gotta b a bitch tho lol) but 99% of females only like wayne based off looks or whatever i cnt stand 2 hear girls say aww wayne better than everybody when they dnt kno wat the fuck they talkin bout
u right da bitch thing was o.d but yea y feel me
Clipse are underrated.
They need to just leave each other alone and get back to the grind. You can't get paid thinkin' about the next man
clipsa and weezy interesting beef...pusha be on sum shit
bottom line is they aint gettin no bread and weezy is eatin..im not a weezy fan,but sounds to me like the clipse on some hater shit.....
1st of all Weezy was too cocky with the shit he said. He had a point about Pharell and about the Clipse not being seen or relevant. You can't deny that. But the nigga Wayne be biting like Pusha T pointed out.
Nevertheless, sounds to me like they salty. They need to raise up and get money. point blank period. Like Wayne is doin'. Hate him or not; dude gettin' paid.
Weezy quote from the magazine and i think he has a point.
"On his lifestyle:
“If I was born behind a desk, boy, you should just have killed me. It’s kind of like a nigga with no dick living in the Playboy mansion.”"
im tryin to see how the clipse sound salty when they were respondin to something...i do think its dumb as hell for niggas to be tight about who wore what first...but makin money isnt everything...what happened to the integrity???
whats good anarchy haha! i be listenin to you every morning and i gotta cosign with this one cuz they were respondin...and wayne is cocky but i still fucks with him...
Please leave this site immediatelly. And take your lil wayne posters with u.

***********************************
It's like Michael Jackson... back in the day he was THE highest paid entertainer alive... now what?
It's a cycle... every dog has his day. wayne needs to cool out with the cockiness... it's gonna fuck him over in the long run.
~Be Eazy!
Dude's been doin this over 10 years now man. The cockiness is what helped him gain some of his newer fans, and I really don't see it fuckin him over like you say. He's stood the test of time and shows that he has that longetivity at the young age of 25. If you ask me, dude aint goin nowhere, he could rap for 10 more years and still be in the prime of his career as we will watch his rhymes become more and more complex over time.
Wayne's been a beast since Tha Block is Hot and he started demanding respect since humility wasn't giving it to him and I respect him for taking charge.
The Return of The Hot Boyz 2008, be on the look out.
Hes been a beast since da block is hot? If don't u count lyrics such as "Wobbledie Wobble, Drop it like its Hot", as beast esque rhymes. And dat shit was the bulk of his first three albums.
how the clipse salty and wayne the one that was talkin shit bout them 1st??? yea we kno wayne got dough who gives a shit this is a lame ass "beef" wayne need 2 chill and do him and clipse need 2 worry about when they next album/mixtape comin out
1st off wayne aint talk shit about them first that got at that nigga... well pusha was poppin off at the mouth... anyway the point is weezy gettin paid and them niggas...weezy a beast the clipse aint bad either but when it comes to respect and power in the game rite now weezy got it..im tellin u haters fuel this nigga to do wat he do and point blank u either like this nigga or u dont if u gone hate dont buy his shit or listen or even click on a tab wit him on it...
The verbal sparring match coincidentally started in Complex Magazine's December 2006 issue when Weezy fired off at Clipse and their then producer Pharrell.
READ NIGGA READ now who started what?
they was beefin be 4 that ova the bape shit ... pharrell came lata in the issue u talkin about.. but wayne had beef wit the clipse afta the c2 dropped...
exactly WAYNE HAD BEEF WITH THEM not clipse had beef wit wayne it dnt matter anyways i dnt ware that bape shit and i listen to both of em so fuck it
is he serious? what fucking beef has he handled?
he talked shit then backed of hov like th pussy he is, then let 50 talk reckless on him
the only nigga he responded 2 or said some shit without being sorry later was fucking gillie and dat nigga murdered him on 2 tracks and wayne stans can't deny frontin like your daddy and that cannon shit is fire............
so once again who has this so called rapper eater eaten? no one he must be starving cuz he don't eat beats either..........nigga is shinny like bald heads
and none of dis shit i said was wayne hate its all true..........
and lyrically clipse will murder lil weezy fucking baby........fag ass name and nigga weezy fucking baby smh
another trash punchline
If I see that lady of a nigga quote one more time, I'ma flip. It's dumb, overused and disrespectful to women
how is that disrespectful to woman... who mostly gossips and hates on eachother last time i checked... woman... yo mamma talk shit about other woman and mines to so dont go there..
You dumb muthafucka. It's a fact that most women talk shit like that, but it's makin' it look like ONLY women do it. What you call this? Wayne and Clipse goin' back & forth over media, not even wax. If they were actin' like the "men" you confused weezy fans say they are, they would have settled it one way or another or at least ended it, and not just keep talkin' sideways
but dude tell my how that offends woman stay on topic ... dont go off on some otha shit
I tried to give you an example, but I guess that didn't work. Check it out. I'ma take it back to where it started. Wayne got that idea from Jay-Z's "Heart of the City" song where he said "Males shouldn't be jealous. That's a female trait." That being said, He puts it as if only women can hate and be jealous, as if men can't. I know we as people shouldn't, but we all do, but he said that it's a female trait. Lil' Wayne tried to dress it up and pretty much said that only a woman can hate and be jealous. How's that for on topic? and on a side note, when you mentioned the whole talk shit thing, Clipse and Wayne are prime example of brothas who talk shit about each other. I guess Lil' Wayne got more lady in him than he preaches.
long story short: It's offensive because he generalized women with that line
I feel wat u talkin bout Wiz, but i must add every rapper doesnt get paid the same way. Dats y every 1 has a different amount of money. I can honestly say i think mo than a few rappers still fukin wit coke. But i think wayne gets most of his money from shows, features n mixtapes. Weezy really dnt need da ppl but he got us so we show support but if u notice he really neva tried 2 make money off albums. He rather drop a free mixtape to giv us wat we want 2 hear. Now ppl who goin multi plat their using our money but white ppl da only 1 who buys cds so not really. But ppl shud start showin mo love 2 wayne as u can c all da vets doesnt hav a problem wit wayne its da sumwat new skool niggas who cant do wat he can do. But back 2 da money shit, alota rappers hustlas so if dey dnt eva go plat they still kno how 2 mak money. But much love 2 Clipse i always liked demi think dey jus need beta promotion.
all i gotta say is who gives a fuck?! how many people in this world were wearing bape at the time...i'm sure wayne wasn't the only celeb...and clothing music all that everyone is influenced by someone...other rappers influence other rappers...peoples style is influenced by others' styles...even designers have an idle...someone they may get ideas from or are influenced by...fuck what he wears he's bout music not the clothes...and although i am a weezy head clipse can definately spit and i gotta rep for the 757 2 up 2 down all day long baby...but i still can't knock weezy cuz everybody be hatin but that dude can spit that crack...
i fuk wit wayne buh i gotta go wit them VA Boyz
This shit is dumb. There both Right.
Wayne: Doesn't set trends (If you don't count the growing number of pussy eaters and niggas falling in love with prosititutes), You REALLY can't wobble dee wobble and bite styles and be a legend (Wayne a legend? don't make me laugh..) But he's getting his money...And I definately would want my little sister or brother listening to Wayne rather than most of the bull shit out now... "Yooooooooooou"
Clipse: There are in NO position to speak, Right or Wrong. They don't see its not whose better. Its a popularity contenst they have no chance. They have to do something WITHOUT speaking Lil Wayne's name to get in the public eye...cause thats the only time we hear about them (There Album is CRAZY though) And Wayne's kinda right I think Pharell is SUPER TALENTED (most of the time) But do I really respect him...Hmmmmm
Peace!
CO-FUCKING-SIGN to every last word.
Thank U Castro, dis nigga must b crazy all da otha rappers shit is simple. I found out not 2 long ago dat alotta ppl dont listen 2 wayne cuz they dnt kno wat he talkin bout. Hes on every topic usin sick punchlines that confuse plenty ppl. But niggas lik myself is still young but can still keep up wit wat he spittin. Wen wayne says hes a martian i believe dat cuz dat nigga b on sum otha shit. Nobody can do wat he can do dats y he is da best u sound stupid Dawg.
lil wayne, pusha t and malice are all good rappers. honestly, i don't see why they're acting like bitches over their fucking clothing. they need to settle this on a track, like everybody else has done. if it worked for canibus, krs one and everybody else, it can work for them. and fuck their money. money doesn't mean shit if you're a bad rapper. it just means that you can buy fancier cars and bigger chains. for example, lil' jon is probably pretty rich, but does anybody respect him? no.
I’ve been sayin this for a hot min, lil Whoopi Weezy, has an identy crisis. Duke has completely changed his swagger around by biting. I mean y’all remember how this nigga sounded in his Hot Boys days? Ok don’t get me wrong I’m an MC I understand how MC’s evolves through time. Like Jay today don’t sound like he did back in 98. But he still has the same rhyme structure, the vocab has changed, but the rhymes, punch lines & sting is still the same. Now how is it that lil weezy revamps his whole structure of rhyming & y’all still giving him props,…the DNA of his Music ain’t even his.
And as far as pushing weight, Pusha & his brother pushed it heavy, just take your ass to VA, ask about them 2 niggaz, matter of fact ask about all 3 of them, they have a brother (or cousin) that did it way heavy then them.
So how’s weezy talking about pushing white now? He never had to do it, since he was 13 Baby been taking care of him & his Sore ass, so what’s this he yappin about now.
Before I even try to understand why his Dressing like Jimmy, trying to sound like Jigga,…I want him to go at the Big Doggs that after him. 50 is trashing him on every single one of his shows, Jay tapped him on T.I’s album,…so why is this Nigga avoiding them Niggaz if he’s the best Rapper alive?
And on the side note, when he was on Stage w/ Jay (recently in NY), I was there and was hoping to hear him say it again,…but like the bitch that he is, he stated his the “Next rapper In Line” lol C’mon Goldberg Weezy needs to be easy,….just like WIZ said it’s our money you could ended up like Pras of the Fugees,…Once on top but now irrelevant
clipse are bugging who cares who wore what first thats the point of making a clothing line for other people to wear it especially celebrities if anything pharrell needs to thank wayne because niggas werent on bape like that until after carter 2 came out but on the other hand wayne does bite artist he basically reinvented himself he was horrible now hes good but someone helped him get better and hes not saying who i think he should show gillie more respect lol make a record called "thanks for teaching me how to flow " and he isnt the rapper eater until he has a battle i dont wanna here anyone say hes the best rapper alive
Thanks for this Moment of clarity,…I agree, who has smacked on record? Exactly,…yo big ups for bring that up.
I agree wit u on da shit bout da clothes, Jus lik u said he is reinvented himself. Alota ppl dont undastand dat, u gota keep up wit wats current. So u can expect him 2 switch his dresscode, style, swagger or wateva u want 2 call it. But as far as Gillie teachin him how 2 flow cum on now. Jus go 2 DatPiff.com n listen 2 da sqad up shit, n make sure u read da comments. Weezy ben goin hard since da HOTBOY days way b4 his solo career. Everybody sayin he is bitin otha rappers style or wateva dats bullshit. Every 1 of us has watched dis man grow up of course sumthin gon change. From his voice to his wordplay to the flow, his choice of clothes etc.
who said so?? nigga i've been wearin bape since 2004 wayne got hot like 2006 so wat r u talkin about if u look @ lil wayne in da booth in rap city in 2004 he was wearin a throw back jersey under a button upn a fitted n who made button ups hot in 2004, 2005? jay-z nigga lil wayne sets no trends i like bape since i saw it it was somethin' different but i can not front niggas did not give a fuck bout pharrell till bape he was only respected as a producer/singer
so wayne aint got all these lil kids rockin chains and belts and shit and wearin these little ass clothes.. last time i checked it was him.. it sure wasnt jim jones...
shit he dnt got me wearin that bullshit and if u really wanna get technical r&b singers been wearin lil ass clothes and jim jones got wayne 2 do it! man niggas give wayne WAAAAAAAAAAAAY to much credit for a lotta shit he a good rapper and all but he get to much praise for dumb shit
uh i said little kids or others in general i didnt mean ... and they may have been doin it but the point is he made it hot... and thats when we regular people caught on and tried to rock it...and i aint praisin that nigga but give him his respect and props where its do...
clipse>lil gayne
haha trash away dickriders!
Y o good Music get off da mans dick i bet u werent sayin dat till his 5th album " But I emerge from all of that i am a pioneer"?? nigga wat path did wayne make his punches r sooo fuckin basic nigga n wat "legend" plays around nigga u treat every song like ya last dats wat a real legend said
lil mwayne is just a matter of time he has to chill out bout sayin he is a legend. how is he a legend bout just rapping bout drugs and bitches he has no classics to back that up. wen lil wayne first came out he was garbage wen gillie came wrote verses for him he became hot
Yo good Music get off da mans dick i bet u werent sayin dat till his 5th album " But I emerge from all of that i am a pioneer"?? nigga wat path did wayne make his punches r sooo fuckin basic nigga n wat "legend" plays around nigga u treat every song like ya last dats wat a real legend said
actually i aint start listening to wayne until the carter 1 came out.. i copped that then did my research and listened to the squad up mixtapes and his old albums... c2 was classic i must say whether you agree or not.. and i aint neva said wayne was a legend he still has areas where he needs to grow lyrically such as playin all the time and gettin off wit them weak punchlines.. but overall the boy is good.. his voice alone makes most of the things he says hot... and please dont get at me about when i started bumpin wayne i know and have heard almost mixtape, album or song this nigga has put out...
u jus said u aint start listenin to him till "the carter" THEN u listened to his old shit when i been rockin wit wayne since jr.high when squad up was hot and 500 degrees man so your credibility is fucked
dude u take this commenting shit to seriously get off my case my nigga.. wayne is my fav rapper and imma defend him jus like u would do ures.. and most of this shit on this site about him is hate... yeah as i said befo he mite not be no legend but he got skills and is 1 of the best in the game rite now.. and so wat if i got on that nigga late .. u gotta start somewhere and that was the first album where he was actually takin serious.. and uh how i got my credibility fucked up .. i went bak and listened to that nigga old shit befo i choose sides or wateva... and still do to this day wit all the new shit... like i said most of wayne new shit is jus throw aways thats leaked they called that fo a reason meaning they aint goin on the album cuz they aint all that... wayne dont even count have of them songs to the song list that he says he had recorded...
dont get yo panties in a bunch u wayne-iac ass nigga u gotta opinion jus like i got one u just keep bringin up dum ass points on why wayne supposedly the greatest in the fuckin world
dude i neva said he was the greatest i give u that that he has his flaws wit rapping...and my points aint dumb like u said u got an opinion i have one too... and most of mines favor wayne
lil wayne can spit but he aint no fucking legend the reason why jay z nas tupac biggie and dem niggas are legends is cause they actually say something lil wayne just puts words together and makes them sound hot but he dont say shit about anything he he talks about ho
