Bishop needs to understand the power of fan bases
« on: November 07, 2008, 03:01:44 PM »
Yes sometimes dissing a big artist will get your name out there but you have to be careful who that artist is. It worked with 50 because when he dissed Ja he had a huge powerhouse backing him and people were already getting sick of Rule. Does Bishop think he's going to have the same effect by dissing not only Game but Snoop too? Rather you like Snoop or not you can't deny he is a legend and a household name, people aren't going to turn on him for some new guy. And as far as Game, he might be able to gain a few fans off his name because Game has a lot of G-Unit haters or people who just find him weird period, but once Game pens a verse at Bishop its over. I'm not really a fan of Bishop Lamont's music but he's from the West so I'm rooting for him, but to be honest, I think going at Game and Snoop is career suicide. We'll see how it plays out though...

He's not really going at Snoop though. He did a diss that many people think was aimed at Snoop but his official word hasn't said so. A lot of people don't even know about this so it really ain't gonna matter much unless Snoop decides to go after him behind it. Feuding with Game might sour some fans on him but we'll see how big an impact it has. It will at least get people talking because Game isn't likely to let the jab just pass. Dre's new protege versus his old one? Might get a few fans interested.

How can anyone listen to that song and say he's not going at Snoop? He even said "your second album is Tha Doggfather"; cmon man.

Realistically, this thing with Game is in Bishop favor. Game is not powerful in this industry aside his fans who like him. Therefore, long as Bishop is an asset to Aftermath Game can cause Jimmy to gag him or blackball him. I mean 50 still effective to Game. L.A.X did get pushed back cause of 50 (whether one believes it or not) so how much do you think Dre can do to Game if it gets out of hand with Bishop. If Bishop is an asset to Dre, as their closer than ever was with Dre, then Jimmy can have the Blackwallk Street shutdown (in terms of ever making it major, unless Game do Koch). So I think Bishop clearly knows he has the upper-hand cause Game is not a powerful figure in the music game at all, just an artist with fans.

This is clearly a diss at Snoop, I don't see how any of the lines could be aimed at Game. And I won't believe that Bishop said that untill I get a link, if he did he's on some bipolar shit like Game.

1st verse has some obvious lines:
You upset cus I'm set to blow
niggaz feelin like Snoop when Pac signed with The Row
It'sm All Eyez On Me
you ain't hot no more
You're 2nd album is Doggfather

I ain't gotta say more
And Aftermath is the label that paaaays me
you can suck my dick big baaaaby


The whole 2nd verse is definetly about Snoop:
Let me quote the word(?)
God don't like ugly
you Whoopi Goldberg


3rd one seems general shit.

lol, u guys don't know ur metaphors huh?

Snoop had to take second spot to Pac when he signed, he was the rite hand of Suge now.. Metaphoring Bishop coming into the picture with Dre, and Game falling back..

Snoop kinda fell outta the limelight for awhile, and he put out his second album, which sounded like they didn't spend alotta time on it, and was arguably a "bad album" coming off of a spotlighted Doggystyle..  (metaphoring Doctor's Advocate, and his departure from Aftermath)

LOOOL

I dont really care bout this beef shit, but its pretty enteraining now lol. And why the fuck didnt the dude on the radio show ask him bout those lines instead of asking if its a diss song as a whole to Snoop? Some of em i swear have brain damage, i woulda recited those lines out n then asked him again if he was going at Snoop or not!!!
