DJ Clark Kent Allegedly Blocks RBX On Instagram Over Diss Featuring KXNG Crooked

RBX officially dropped his long awaited album, Hibernation Shivers, on streaming platforms in June—and one particular track apparently ruffled the feathers of a certain Hip-Hop legend.

According to inside sources, DJ Clark Kent has blocked The Chroniccontributor on social media over the diss track “Shivers” featuring KXNG Crooked. The discovery was made after someone tagged DJ Clark Kent in the comments and RBX realized he was unable to access his page.


Evidently, some of the lyrics offended DJ Clark Kent, likely RBX’s verse, “Clowns disrespecting the X, don’t even trip/Let me provide dope for Clark Kent to skip U B#### U/Since u like skippin, W’s up to all my Bloods and Crips.” Featured guest/producer SCCIT’s lines probably didn’t help either: “They pretend like they sittin up on a throne/West Coast haters lookin out for they own/Punk ass DJ who forgot to put his cape on/Without a place to go since they stopped makin pay phones.”

The discourse between RBX and DJ Clark Kent popped off in 2023 after the latter made some disparaging comments about the former’s contributions to Dr. Dre’s seminal solo album, The Chronic. He’s quoted as saying, “But you gotta have great songs that make that thing happen. If you don’t, you’ll get one song that doesn’t hit properly, you done took yourself out of the classic thing because if you can skip, you ain’t got a classic. That’s why I won’t say The Chronic is a classic. Because I can skip RBX.”


Sources close to RBX’s camp said DJ Clark Kent sent a direct message to RBX shortly after the comments made the rounds, telling him something along the lines of, “It’s not really disrespectful. It’s just my opinion, bro!” RBX laughed it off then came back with “Shivers.”

RBX, who was previously signed to Death Row Records, contributed to six songs on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic in 1992. His deep, commanding voice can be heard on songs such as “High Powered,” “Stranded On Death Row” and “Lyrical Gangbang.” He also received songwriting credits on “Let Me Ride” and several others. But contract disputes and issues with ex-Death Row CEO Suge Knight proved too much to tolerate, and he left in 1994. More than 30 years later, RBX has come to a place of peace with how things unfolded.

“I don’t cry over spilled milk though ’cause I believe in a higher power and everything that was done was done for a reason,” he told AllHipHop in May 2023. “That’s why we still here. And at the end of the day, they might have run out and did this and that, but they can’t take my name and they can’t take my voice. And I still got these pens and pads to write these rhymes and they didn’t write s### for me—I wrote for them.”

But even that relationships has improved. Since then, RBX made an appearance on Tha Dogg Pound’s first Death Row album in 15 years, W.A.W.G. (We All We Got),on the track “Who Da Hardest?” featuring Snoop Dogg, The Lady of Rage and Kurupt, who all contributed to The Chronic. There’s definitely another chapter for RBX—and DJ Clark Kent presumably won’t be a part of it.

Hilarious.  Back in the day shit was handled in the streets, now retaliation is blocking someone on social media.  And to top it all off, someone writes an entire article about it.  See, stuff like this is exactly why the older cats aren't respected like their counterparts from other genres.

Depends on what your ultimate goal is.  If you're looking for publicity and record sales, then by all means, go at it on wax, but that's not how true G'z do things.  That's why there's so many fakes and phonies in the industry.  That's why people said for years the whole Dre/Eazy beef was to sell records. 

If you truly are looking to end a beef with someone, then you get into some street shit on the down low.  Real G'z move in silence, you know that.

Why anyone even halfway claiming to be a thug would give 2 shits if they are blocked on twitter or instagram by some other wannabe thug is so far beyond me, it's pathetic.  High school girls might get upset about that, but an OG like RBX or Clark Kent, come on.   

Then the notion that someone would write an entire article about being blocked on social media, and people are reposting and spreading the article around like it's some big hood shit diss, like man, it's making all parties involved look so sad.  Again, you wonder why rappers don't get the mainstream respect in their twilight years, shit like this is a perfect example.  When was the last time you heard Madonna, or Elton John, or Metallica, or Willie Nelson whining about being blocked by someone on social media?  There's your differences right there.

bro u sound like a little kid wit the gangsta fantasies ..

hip-hop has historically been about battling

most the gangsta rappers u grew up idolizing aren’t actually killers and never really put in real work wit a set

these new school rappers who kill each other over rap beef are on demon time and that’s not real hip-hop

“big hood shit diss” lmaoooo .. u sound like u did back when u were on your “no one slaps a bitch like soopafly” shit

and who “got upset”?? u think rbx gives a fuck about being blocked by some clown? the article is simply pointing out what a clown clark kent is, that he can’t even take a hip-hop diss record to the point where he’s blocking people

the whole “take it to the streets!!! yeaaaaaa!!!!” mentality is juvenile and quite frankly goes against what hip-hop was founded on

Yup we’re in agreement. If you’re keeping it at a hip hop level, beef on wax all good. Like you said, a lot of these rappers don’t live the life they rap about and are only story tellers and not true thugs or repped a set (assuming you’re referring to yourself, your crew, and RBX with that comment) and that’s cool. Sylvester Stallone isn’t really Rocky. He’s playing a character. If you guys were playing a role or character when you rap and make albums, that’s fine. Still doesn’t change the idea of grown men getting their panties in a bunch about who blocks who on social media.

Oh and still to the day no one slaps a hoe like The Man Soopafly. Suga Free is the only one who comes close.

rbx definitely repped a set… repping a set doesn’t automatically make u some notorious killer like most of the sheltered rap fans think.. a lot of times it just means u from a certain neighborhood .. how much work someone actually puts in for the set varies…. but he’s rollin 20s… that doesn’t mean he has to go kill dj clark kent for dissing him LOL… he made a diss record and that’s what we do in hip-hop.. clark went ahead and blocked which is a buster move.. no one upset or getting their panties in a bunch, we just think it’s funny…..and if publications wana cover that, good.. more press

I'm interested by the comment you made below:

"most the gangsta rappers u grew up idolizing aren’t actually killers and never really put in real work wit a set"

Since you've had much more experience dealing with rappers than i have, what's your take on some of them?  Obviously you said RBX was an exception and he did put in some work with a set, but what about the other rappers you've worked with for the album?

Spice 1
Daz
Kurupt
Rass Kass
MC Eiht
Krayzie Bone
Crooked I
Project Pat

Which one of these guys never really repped a set and are mainly just acting?  Since you said "most rappers don't put in work for a set", with RBX being an exception, i imagine most of these guys you worked with have NOT put in work with a set.  Is that what you are saying?

it’s not as black n white as u make it seem


a lot of times just being from a certain neighborhood gives one the ability to rep that neighborhoods set
 .. simply repping has more to do wit who you know, who u hang wit as opposed to how much work u really put in .. the one guy i can say genuinely put in work wit his career actually bein a gangsta first is tray deee… nate dogg was bout it as well, but was more so involved in hittin licks

i’m not guna sit here n list who did what.. but most the people u listed are not much different than your average man.. they just grew up in an area that was turf to a specific set, which is a lot of times overstated and sensationalized by outsiders.

From that list Project Pat is the one you definitely wouldn’t wanna fuck with but he’s a good guy he’s just huge and doesn’t tolerate much

MC Eiht is also a real g but much older now and calmer wiser

Wow, kudos to you for having the balls to make a statement like that.  Especially when you're still trying to be cool and work with these guys and get in good with them and move up in the rap game. Some of these guys live and make money off their assumed persona.  It is eye opening though, and since you know them firsthand, i trust your evaluation of them.  Definitely makes me look at them in a different light.

But no doubt Tray Deee is a real one.  Same thing with Flesh N Bone.  Shyne too.

i mean it’s not really a diss… i’m not saying cats is straight nerds who are completely fronting on record… a lot of times what u hear is hypotheticals.. we all run our household, all stay strapped, all down to handle business if it gets to that point because that’s just what comes wit the territory of stayin ready as a man. whether you from a set or not .. very few gangstas are actually killers .. but most have been instilled wit a mindset of loyalty and being down for whatever’s needed.. that’s what bein wit it means. the ones who are killers get the most glorification, so it blurs the lines for the outsiders lookin in.

No, i didn't take it as a diss at all.  I don't know if all the rappers would appreciate you 'blowing their cover' but it's refreshing to hear someone from the inside talk honestly about the biz and the rappers he's worked with on his records and be honest about how the rappers he works with are fronting and mainly rap in hypotheticals.  We all kinda knew that's how it was for the most part, but it's nice to hear you stating that coming from the inside who has actually met these guys to tell us how they truly are.  I remember Eazy used to dis Dre and calling him a studio gangsta, but like you said, many rappers these days are.  Except RBX of course, you had said he was the exception.
