Veteran Rapper Rah Digga Explains Tyler, Fat Trel Diss Record

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop veteran Rah Digga has released a diss track aimed
at rappers Tyler the Creator and Fat Trel.

Both artists recently released separate records that named checked Rah Digga, as well as female vet MC Lyte.

On her track “The Ni**a In Me,” Rah Digga delivers a verse aimed at silencing both newcomers.

“I didn’t make this record for press purposes or for hype cuz that’s not my thing,” Rah Digga explained. “I got wind of various artists referencing me in a negative fashion.

“They poked fun at me I’m just pokin back. It’s all sport to me,” Rah Digga continued. “I wish em all the best, they just need to understand who is off-limits. MC Lyte is off-limits. Rah Digga is off-limits. Respect those who kept Hip-Hop raw so that we could still have a culture or get a first hand lesson in a lyrical ass whoopin. Love is love. – Rah Digga”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Is Young Buck Renegotiating with G-Unit?

Well, it looks like Young Buck’s interview with DJ Whoo Kid last week has opened up some doors for him over at G-Unit. The exiled former G-Unit member has said that he is now in renegotiations with G-Unit. Does 50 Cent know about this? Just kidding. Check out what Young Buck said about the renegotiations below:

“I’ma be honest with you,” Buck stated. “Finally, we’re having some kind of negotiations with what they’re going to be able to do for us at G-Unit.”

“The wait is definitely over…I don’t want to put a timing on it, but the wait is absolutely over, and we’re just trying to figure out what’s the best situation with us – where I’m gonna go.”

I guess Buck is putting his ego aside on this one. Would you guys want to see Young Buck go back to G-Unit? What ever happened to his Cash Money deal?
