In fiction retcons are when something new is revealed...it changes the entire past narrative to the point that it's the accepted fact that was ALWAYS true.
Hip hop is not supposed to be fiction...but rappers often lie, hide things, keep their mouth shut and try to undermine things. Both the hip hop media and message boards like these are also full of lying revisionists and people who simply weren't around trying to speak on things they never saw happen in real time to even remeber.
Name any event or thing you remember that's either nearly wiped from history, the internet, or forgotten about. Here's my list
Stan Spit's early association with the Diplomats as well as his subsequent Cam'ron beef.
Currensy's run with Lil Wayne in the infancy of "Young Money"
Hutch and Kokane's part in the Ruthless vs Death Row beef
Snoop being part of a reunited NWA in the early 2000s
Lil Wayne criticizing Jay for coming back then apologizing. (Which is odd because seemingly everyone remembers Jeezy's comments about Nas and they reference it in that very same interview)
40 Cal announcing there would be a Nas diss on Broken Safety 2
Game and Wayne "blood brothers" mixtape announced, tracklist put up on dubcnn, and the release of lyrical homicide
The other version of 4321. Had a different beat than the original or the album version. LL had a longer verse. Canibus verse is shorter than the original but longer than the album version with no X verse. It was in very poor quality though
