I remember when Gibbs first jumped out the window dissing Spitta a bunch of posters on here said he probably didn't promote Fetti heavy at the time because he just had his son. Spitta never spoke on it until now and he confirms that was the case

This shyt is so stupid...should Jeezy feel a way toward Madlib since Gibbs was dissing him on Piñata and Bandana?

Gibbs and Alc aren't a duo, they collab together that's pretty much it. I feel why Currensy would feel that way but unless he feels Alchemist is actively helping Gibbs craft these disses I don't see why he would have an issue.

I don't think Jeezy even knows who Madlib is :pachaha:

Honestly I think the thing Spitta feels the most salty about is that Boldy track where Gibbs seems to disrespect his kids.



Nah, bro.

Y'all gotta stop with the reaching for beef, lol.

What Gibbs is referencing, is the quote from Jordan joke saying "F*ck them kids". He was challenged at an event to shoot 3-4 shots, and if he missed one, he was asked to give all the kids there free Jordan's. he made all the shots and someone said that Mike was like "F*ck them kids", and they got on him for not being a "role model" because he didn't want to give them free shoes.

That's where Gibbs is pulling that from.

Totally neutral.

Same way he works with Benny while he's throwing shots at Freddie. Then goes and makes music with Freddie while he throws shots back. He has songs with both of them on it just a few years ago. Same as with Spitta and Gibbs. And I'm sure if Spitta called him today and said he wanted to do CC2, ALC would have that project out in a few months, even if Spitta dissed Gibbs on it.

It's like he always says, he sees all of these dudes as his friends and believes they'll all work it out. He doesn't pick sides or tell them what to do or not to do. He just wants to make music and let them handle their issues on their own. He always says, "We're men, they'll figure it out". Can't divide up your friends and pick sides.
Full context

CURREN$Y:

What it’s rooted in, I can’t do nothing about because it’s old. I thought it was a good project. F**king people thought it was a classic. [I promoted] it on Instagram. I had just had a kid, so I’m like, F**k. What can I do? I told [Alchemist], “I’m not gonna play ‘The Boy is Mine’ with you with this dude. Y’all got it.”

XXL:

Does something like that ever make you think twice about doing collab projects?

CURREN$Y:

Nah, because rap is that. It’s not many settings that I’ve been in where I don’t think that we’re actually doing this [presses fists together]. Except, it’s just through rap, so it ain’t sh*t. [But] I probably gotta let the [project] me and Larry June got go. I told [the project producer Alchemist] I wasn’t tripping… For the good of music, and the sounds that me and Larry put down already, I probably gotta let the people have this good sh*t.

Al solid. He neutral. He make the beats. So, it ain’t no G-code with bro. I ain’t tripping off that. But with that being said, I can’t get in the car with you because I know for sure what I can’t expect.

Have you and Alchemist talked out the situation?

CURREN$Y:

Yeah, like a day or two right after it. And I told him it’s good. But I told him, if it was me, and the muthaf**ka said something about you, the song wouldn’t exist. I wasn’t tripping. I’m not tripping. But the same way I know, clearly, I’m guessing me and this man [Freddie Gibbs] won’t do no music, y’all in the same car.
Basically, how you handle it proactively. If you want to sit back let your collaborator dis your other collaborators on your production and label it's at least disappointing if not kinda disrespectful to Spitta. He would handle it differently. Your claiming neutrality but could have took your neutrality a step further. Alfredo 2 is an ALC Records release, he has the control.

We're all aware of where the quote comes from. I'm also aware that this was one of the few tracks with got with them both after the Fetti fiasco. I think it was pretty obvious what he was doing, and it was a sub that could be easily written off. But Gibbs a petty, ugly ass soul and I 100% believe there's a double meaning here.

Using his "control" would be the opposite of being neutral.

He allows them all the same freedom to express themselves. Same way Premier didn't tell Jeru to not diss B.I.G. and Bad Boy while he was literally working on Life After Death. Same way Premier said B.I.G. got at Nas too while he was working with Nas, and he told B.I.G. "Say what you gotta say". Premier said he even mentioned him with the "Son, I'm surprised you run with them" line.

Premier said he told B.I.G., "It doesn't bother me if that's how you feel", after B.I.G. asked him if he had an issue with him saying whatever. These are all legends. They're not acting emotional over lyrical shots on songs, when they all have history with each other and have been friends. Premier said it best, "It's on wax, and we're all good". These are men. Not kids.

You're fishing.

I've listened to that record a million times, and never thought that was a shot at Spitta. This is the same dude who always directly disses people. Same cat that said "Jeezy was d*ck sucking". He's not going to sub Spitta on a track with a double entendre. He would just go right at him.

But I think if you're more focused on searching for disses in songs, you're going to find 291 of them, if that's what you're looking for. I don’t listen to music looking for "double meanings" for beef, lol. Guessing and assuming. That's not my thing.

Currensy wasn't talking about his "kids", he only had one. And the line was "I raised my money like a child and I'm so proud of it". Gibbs saying "Fukk them kids" was basically saying "Fukk whatever this nikka talking about" same as what I mentioned earlier about him trying to claim Alc as his own. Basically Gibbs being passive aggressively sour like we know him to be

How would be using his control not be remaining neutral? It would more neutral to me to stop a dis from coming out.
And I'm sure Freddie can't say whatever he wants on the records. There are limits, so hiding behind creative expression is bullshyt.
Raekwon said earlier this year the Nas Omerta verse wasn't a dis to Jim Jones and he wouldn't let Nas dis Jim Jones on his record because they are cool as well anyway.
People handle things differently and despite his attempts at neutrality it didn't work. Spitta obviously feels a way and it could have been avoided. The only person acting like a kid is Freddie, these lines are not necessary or cool.

Stopping a diss from coming out would mean he'd have to do that for every record or analyze every line and make sure there are no shots being sent. You see how dudes are on here. They're literally looking for disses in verses now. It's like a thing for them. So if he has to focus on combing through bars and approving raps for every dude he's working with, that's not only going to kill the process for the MCs, but it's also going to stifle their expression.

He gives them all the same freedom and respect to stay out of whatever they want to say, and he focuses on the music. Just like Premier always did. Premier said, 'It's not me rapping. I'm just doing the beats. These are guys I'm good with. They're on some Hip Hop sh*t." It's always been like that.

Swizz and Jay are good friends. Swizz produced the original version of "Ether". He went to Jay and told him he was giving Nas the beat. Jay told him it was all good. Producers were always supposed to be neutral. They stay out of it.

Spitta's always been emotional. But I'm sure he knows that ALC wouldn't stop him from dissing Gibbs either. Benny doesn't stop working with ALC because he has issues with Gibbs now. They all still work together. And that's what it should be about. The music. Get whatever issues you have out on the records, and leave it on the wax.

Doesn't he listen to the songs like a hundred times in the creative process anyway? It's not some huge task to make sure he's not dissing his other collaborators.
Freddie is the one throwing shots but Spitta is emotional? You got it twisted. And this is about the music. The lyrics more specifically. I'm sure if Freddie got on some Kanye, "F the Joos!" shyt he wouldn't chalk it up to creative expression. lol
Some people have a lower tolerance for disrespect. All he is doing is removing himself from the situation. Freddie is the one in his feelings throwing shots.

Am I tripping or something? He literally says twice here he ain’t doing music with Alchemist looool

AND he echoed the sentiment that Alchemist shouldn’t be letting dudes get on his tracks and diss him because if the roles were reversed, the track is going in the bushes
