What are the most SURPRISING moments in hip hop history?

[Mac Ten]

1. Diddy getting locked up only to raid his house and find bottles of baby oil


2. Rick Ross getting exposed as a CO back in 2008. When this came out, it was the first time that I seen a rapper actually having a job in that field as a kid. I normally heard rappers say “Fukk the Police”.

3. Beanie Sigel getting snuffed by Mike Knox and then getting jumped by the Dreamchasers.

Nas not wanting to do a beer advertisement cause he didn’t want black kids to follow his footsteps only to be sponsored and doing Hennessy advertisements later on.

U know black folks don’t be drinking Coors light…

Hennessy is a beverage that’s always gonna be consumed by black folks.

Besides, those same kids grew up into adults as Nas became a OG.


Best believe, they’re gonna buy it. I have and I was bumping Nas as a kid.

Suge Knight & Puff getting locked up.

What an end to Deathrow & Bad boy story. Their superstars dead, the bosses locked up. The END

I remember watching a Beef DVD on TV when Gucci Mane was still a small fry in the game(Atlanta Braves Jersey, Hummer driving Gucci Mane era)and finding that he actually killed a man during the release of his debut album.

That alone gave me respect for Gucci because he stood his ground like a man. He didn’t run and hide like a coward either.
I was bumping Gucci before everyone jumped on the bandwagon.



Him and Boosie for some reason had a lot of notoriety when they both got locked up

Boosie getting arrested for some drug charges back in 2009 and then the DA adding a murder charge to boot.


When I was in middle school, I was shocked. My classmate J-Rock was bumping Boosie out loud in class to support. He was actually crying too

Nas signing to Def Jam.

Nas ate good on Def Jam…

Fukk the optics

Jay actually looked out for Nas and a few others during his tenure.


Jay reached his hand out to Nas and he accepted it.


In the end, most cats that dissed Nas always are revealed to be fans who got their feelings hurt by him(Jay, Cam, Pac, etc).

xxxtentacion getting killed caught me way off guard.


I was not expecting a high profile rapper getting knocked off like that.

 

[The Guru]

 

[Switch]

Kendrick dropping meet the grahams as quickly as he did

 

[Flav]

Hennessy is a beverage that’s always gonna be consumed by black folks.

The point went completely over your head.

For Mike Myers specifically.

Biggie appearing on Martin.

 

[Jerz-2]

I remember that moment in real time on ...somebody was there at the concert, giving us play-by-play updates. I think that thread ultimately went into the rafters (or their version of the rafters back then, I forget what it was called).

 

[UnQuantized]

Zev Love X from KMD appearing as MF DOOM after basically missing for like 3 years.

 

[Ziggiy]

I remember that moment in real time on ...somebody was there at the concert, giving us play-by-play updates. I think that thread ultimately went into the rafters (or their version of the rafters back then, I forget what it was called).

I was on the Nas BBS at the time and everyone was losing their minds
