Big Sean checks in with JAY Z’s Life+Times and decodes his song “First Chain” off his new album Hall Of Fame. Breaking down all the details during a candid interview, Sean reflects on the creative direction for the track and shares the meaning behind his lyrics. “First Chain” is Big Sean’s latest single featured on his new Hall Of Fame LP which is now available in stores.
Gunplay returns with a new music video for “Westside Ride” which finds the MMG rapper showcasing his love for the West Coast out in the streets of Los Angeles. Over Dr. Dre’s classic “Deep Cover” instrumental and a whiny synthesized track, Gunplay goes to work and drops his usual slick street talk for the cameras.
MMG artist Meek Mill delivers on his promise and delivers a full out diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar titled “Ooh Kill ‘Em.” For the first few seconds of the song Meek takes over Dr. Dre’s “Forgot About Dre” instrumental to set the stage and eventually transitions into some original production equipped with vocal samples from Nate Dogg and little TerRio. Meek doesn’t look to be holding back and drops off a pretty impressive diss track but at this point is it too late?

Papoose hijacks Big Sean’s instrumental for “First Chain” and proceeds to go in on the G.O.O.D. Music MC with a diss remix. The New York rapper comes out the gate swinging for the TKO and spits all over Sean’s image and music just over four minutes. To be honest, this isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be because Pap really commits to the diss and doesn’t pussyfoot around with weak subliminals. Take a listen to Pap’s latest offering below via the audio/video stream.
