20 of the Biggest Lies Caught in Rappers’ Lyrics

See the Biggest Lies Caught in Rappers’ Lyrics

Source: XXLMag

Two truths and a lie might be a game, but it apparently applies to rap lyrics as well. A number of rappers, far and wide, have dropped lines on their songs that toted the embellishment line while others were blatant mistruths. Fans may have caught these fibs and offered a mere chuckle to, while others could’ve possibly gone under the radar. Either way, whether the bars strengthened the record, added some sort of comedic element or became a topic of conversation among fans, the fact remains that not all tracks are 100 percent factual.

Back in 2007, Jay-Z dropped “Hello Brooklyn 2.0” featuring Lil Wayne. On the first verse of the track, Jigga rhymes, “Hello Brooklyn, if we had a daughter/Guess what I’ma call her, Brooklyn Carter.” Five years later, Jay and Beyoncé welcomed their first daughter, whom they named Blue Ivy. In 2017, Hov and Bey then welcomed twins, a girl and a boy, named Rumi and Sir. Neither of the power couple’s daughters were named after Jay-Z’s hometown.

On Rick Ross’ 2015 song “Sorry” featuring Chris Brown, Rozay has a line, in which he says, “We at the crib, she got her legs wrapped around my waist.” For obvious reasons, the line isn’t true, and in fact, was highlighted on X, formerly known as Twitter, back in 2019.

Then there’s numerous Drake lyrics where he’s pointing out his father’s absence in his life. On “0 to 100,” the 6 God says, “I was ready… f**k that, I’ve been ready/Since my dad used to tell me/He was comin’ to the house to get me/He ain’t show up/Valuable lesson, man, I had to grow up/That’s why I never ask for help.”

However, despite this being Drake’s account of his childhood, his father, Dennis Graham, did an interview on Nick Cannon’s Close Conversations show on Power 106 in 2019, and explained that he was a present father. He added that his rapper son rhymes about that particular topic because “it sells records.”

These are just a few examples of rappers’ lyirics that contain falsehoods, but there’s plenty of others. Take a look at the biggest lies in rappers’ lyrics below.

Drake
Song: “Look What You’ve Done”
Year: 2011

Lyrics: “And my father living in Memphis now, he can’t come this way/Over some minor charges and child support/That just wasn’t paid, damn/Boo-hoo, sad story, Black American dad story.”

Why the Lyrics Are a Lie: Drake’s lyrics about his father’s absence in his life was brought into question when his dad, Dennis Graham, did an interview on Nick Cannon’s Close Conversations show on Power 106 radio station in 2019. Dennis debunked claims that he was a deadbeat parent.

Graham told Cannon, “I have always been with Drake. I said, ‘Drake why are you saying all of this different stuff about me, man? This is not cool.’ And he goes ‘Dad, it sells records.'”

To this, Drake replied on his Instagram Story and said, “Woke up today so hurt man. My father will say anything to anyone that’s willing to listen to him. It’s sad when family gets like this but what can we really do that’s the people we are stuck with … every bar I ever spit was the truth and the truth is hard for some people to accept.”

Future
Song: “56 Nights”
Year: 2015

Lyrics: “I took 56 bars all in one month, n***a, and I’m still drankin’/I could still see the scar on a n***a hand, man this s**t real crazy/I been taking these mollies, still nodding off ’cause a n***a too faded”

Why the Lyrics Are a Lie: While Future has made countless references to using recreational drugs in songs throughout his career, he admitted in a 2016 interview with Clique TV that he’s not as much into narcotics as his lyrics may lead fans to believe.

“I’m not super drugged-out or a drug addict,” Future explained. “My music may portray a certain kind of image. I don’t do it for you to have to live that type of life.”

Rick Ross
Song: “Sorry” featuring Chris Brown
Year: 2015

Lyrics: “We at the crib, she got her legs wrapped around my waist”—Rick Ross

Why the Lyrics Are a Lie: Even though Rick Ross is looking much slimmer these days, it’s not likely that his stature allowed for anyone’s legs to be wrapped around his waist at the time these lyrics were recorded. In fact, this particular line saw the Miami rhymer going viral in 2015. Many social media users took it upon themselves to declare the lyrics a complete lie.

Lil Wayne Reacts To Being Ranked 7th Best Rapper Of All Time

Lil Wayne has responded to his placement on Billboard’s controversial “50 Greatest Rappers Of All Time” list, which saw him ranked at No. 7.

Source: HipHopDX

The Young Money mogul recently sat down with Zane Lowe at Apple Music to discuss his highly anticipated album, The Carter 6. Amid talks about the project, its Swizz Beatz-produced single “Kant Nobody” with the late DMX, Tunechi remarked that he is simply not concerned with the ranking as he’s confident that everyone knows he’s really the G.O.A.T.

“Man, who the hell is before me?” Wayne questioned. “Was the list including ALL Hip Hop, like before and after as well? I can deal with that… I will tell you that I am a muthafuckin’ one. Everybody whose names you named, they also know I’m number one. Go ask ’em. They know what it is.”

Ahead of Wayne on the list, in reverse order, were Biggie Smalls, Eminem, 2pac, Nas, Kendrick Lamar and JAY-Z.

Despite proclaiming himself No. 1, Wayne recently confirmed that, in his book, Hov remains the greatest rapper ever.

“The greatest rapper of all time is Shawn ‘JAY-Z’ Carter,” he declared on a November episode of Marcellus Wiley’s More to It podcast. “When you do this rapping thing, obviously like football, every sport is different. You play hockey, I’m sure they got something that they only know about. Something that they probably can’t explain, but only they know. That thing in rap, that we only know in rap, he has that. He’s the Tom Brady of that.”

Elsewhere in his new interview with Apple Music, Weezy gave a little insight on what fans can expect from the forthcoming C6.

“Everybody already know,” Lil Wayne said. “You already know. Come on – it’s Carter 6. I never even imagined. That didn’t even sound right years ago. I can’t believe we’re at Carter 6. My fans know I give my all. Go listen to my last feature and know it’s gonna be a thousand times better than that.”

While he has yet to set a release date for the LP, Lil Wayne has kicked off his roll out with the release of the DMX-assisted single and a tour announcement.

The 28-city Welcome To Tha Carter tour kicks off on April 4 at The Fillmore in Minneapolis. Wayne will trek through Detroit, Toronto, Houston, New York and other cities before wrapping in Los Angeles at The Wiltern on May 13.

These 25 Rappers Have the Most Jay-Z Guest Verses

Source: XXLMag

Rappers who have received a guest verse from Jay-Z should consider themselves blessed. Hov is inarguably one of hip-hop’s G.O.A.T.s, has spent the last three decades giving hip-hop some of the greatest bars the genre has seen in a career that includes 14 No. 1 albums, dozens of hit songs and countless hip-hop quoteables. While the 53-year-old rapper-billionaire has hopped on dozens of records in his career, he’s never spread himself too thin. There are some major rap stars who have never gotten a verse from Jigga and even more who have only been able to get one 16 from the god-level Brooklyn bar layer including Eminem and Nas.

There have long-been rumors that a Jay-Z verse could cost a rapper their entire budget. Another number that has been floating out there is $250,000. In July of 2022, Jigga claimed he no longer charges artists to appear on their tracks.

“It’s mostly relationships,” Jay-Z told Kevin Hart on the comedian’s Hart to Heart show on Peacock. “It’s actually always been mostly relationships. Sometimes it’s talent and sometimes someone asks me to be on something. Pretty much every song that I’m on I’m asked to be on. I don’t ask people to be on their songs. I never charge.”

“Way more nos than yeses,” Jay confirmed about the ratio of requests he actually obliges.
Over the years, some rappers have been more highly favored than others when it comes to being able to obtain a coveted guest verse from Jay-Z, with the number slimming down even more as of recent—Jay only appeared on three songs in 2022.

XXL highlights the rappers (and one DJ) who have tapped into the Jay-Z cheat code on a minimum of two occasions to find out which MC has been able get the most guest appearances from Mr. Carter over the years. Take a look at these 25 artists along with DJ Khaled to see who comes out on top below.

Mic Geronimo – 2
“Time to Build” (1995)
“Single Life” (1997)

Foxy Brown – 2
“I’ll Be” (1997)
“Bonnie & Clyde Pt. 2” (1999)

Chris Brown Names His Mount Rushmore Of Hip-Hop

Source: AllHipHop

Chris Brown struggled with his selection of elite MCs worthy of a place on the all-time greats list and ended up with a total of six names.

Selecting just four names to be immortalized on Rap’s Mount Rushmore is a tall task for any head, and it was no different for Chris Brown when he was asked to name his personal list of the greatest MCs.

The R&B singer was challenged to name the rappers on his G.O.A.T. list during a recent interview with Power 206’s L.A. Leakers. While he was quick to rattle off the first few names, he realized he spoke too soon.

“Jay-Z, Nas, Big L, and Tupac,” Chris Brown revealed after just a few moments of thought. However, he changed his mind just seconds later and had to make some alterations.

“Skrrt, put Biggie in the spot of Nas!” he said before clarifying he still has love for his former collaborator. “I love Nas, damn. It’s f#####’ up!”
