People keep saying Hip Hop is meant to be competitive; I don't know about that. If so, then it stops being a form of art in my books, because art is not birthed out of competition. What I see in Hip Hop is the fact that because majority of its very successful artist have always been braggadocio with their lyrics, it makes it look like Hip Hop should always be competitive. And also, the fact that most black people (who make up majority of artists in Hip Hop) envy any of their black brothers who happens to be getting ahead of them, makes the subject of competition seem normal in Hip Hop. I wont say that is the case with Diddy, but I know he directed the lines below to Jay Z because he feels some sort of way about Jay. "Fuck you wanna talk about? Fucking jewelries and Bentley's and Hublot's. And fucking art that niggas ain't got on their fucking walls." (Diddy's lyrics off his Interlude on Rick Ross's Nobody song.) Jay Z and Hublot Watches have a partnership for a special edition watches- Shawn Carter By Hublot, so Diddy is most likely talking to Jay Z with this line. And of cos, Jay Z made Picasso Baby, a song about art he doesn't have on his wall. This is definitely a slick shot at Jay Z. It was perfectly done so that only few people will catch it, but rappers always catch stuff like that, so I know Jay got it. Jay Z also raps a lot about Warhols and Basquiats...art he most definitely doesn't have on his wall.
