Do you think that diss Had the same effect that Ether did to jay?
Pete Rock said that it made Cube mad as fukk. I think it was effective. Although it starts out with a blatant lie - that Amerikka's Most was Cube's only good album - the rest of the diss is straight fire. But I think the thing that really sold it was that...it was Common. Common was always that well mannered nikka who grew up on the block who might give you dap, you give him dap and say "wassup breh" then as he walks away you look at your homie and be like "that nikka takes yoga classes and eats quinoa...."
So for him to come out the gate and knock out who many considered the defacto toughest rapper in the game...shyt was dope.
95% of fans only know of that song because of Canibus![]()
lol...nah, man. Pre-Badu Common in the Can I Borrow a Dollar/Resurrection days came off as just cool regular ass nikka. He didn't start being a sensitive neo soul hippy dude dressing like Robin Hood until later.Common was always that well mannered nikka who grew up on the block who might give you dap, you give him dap and say "wassup breh" then as he walks away you look at your homie and be like "that nikka takes yoga classes and eats quinoa...."![]()
