Bishop Lamont on The Gangsta Chronicles w/ MC Eiht :: "Snoop & Ice Cube hated on the New West"

[Juggalo Fred]

What does that got to do with what I said.... Obviously my point was that if them dudes were actually nice like the Kendeicks and Nipseys they would have been embraced...shyt don’t matter if it was 5 years before Kendrick got “push”

The music industry has never been about talent, if so Jack Harlow or Young Thug wouldn't be famous. It's about marketability.

I do think Kendricks music is a little better than Bishops but Bishop had some good songs too.

Its like X said:



Doesn't have to do with talent its about playing the game.

nikka noise n pope mobile was dope

I don’t give a fukk about Jack Harlow and Young Thug … Kendrick is superior as an artist and was embraced by the west luminaries because of it …Lamont hasn’t opened his mind to the idea that he simply sucked and that’s why he wasn’t embraced

 

[Left.A1]

Kendrick came & succeeded while placing emphasis on message & artistry

Nah

Exactly …that’s the irony of trying to say that Bishop fukking Lamont was too “deep” FOH

Meanwhile, the coast going hard at each other
The younger rappers had wanted some of the OGs' comfort
But I ain't need it
I never screamed out "The New West"—I didn't believe it
They brung each other down; I was planning out my achievements,

[Da King]

this idiot also leaked his own Dre track

He was generic that was his issue

 

[Chris Cool]

Seen Snoop embrace badd lucc, problem, nipsey, terrace martin, mistah fab, 1500 or nothin. I'm sure there's others.

 

[Funcrusher]

Bishop was just unlucky to come up when the music industry collapsed and the Aftermath formula with it. A Snoop or Ice Cube cosign in 06/07 wouldn't have done shyt for him. Damn shame tho, but he did get a couple good albums out during that time.

 

[KFBF]

Hitman was a more entertaining rapper than Bishop and Kendrick imo.

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

nikka was dope. Damn shame how his career went.

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Ironically I remember snoop embracing Kendrick and Nipsey and Cube had Kendrick use one of his most iconic songs as a sample on GKMC....Bishop just fukking sucked...sorry nikka but I wouldn't want you being the man I'm passing the baton off too either if I was them

You have history confused....Snoop didn't embrace them until AFTER they had already outed them for not supporting new LA rappers. Unlike E-40, Snoop wasn't worried about reaching out to the younger rappers to keep himself relevant.

Cube,Dre and Snoop specifically got called out for actively not giving new rappers co-signs....Crooked,Glasses,Nipsey,YG all made it known that that the old guard passed on giving them a co-sign.


Bishop also tried to get on at a time in LA when they didn't even play LA rappers on the radio.

 

[African Peasant]

Very good rapper.

Facts, weren't they working on a project called "No Country For Old Men" at some point?

Rhymes with substance.
