STAYING REAL: Young Jeezy disses DJ Drama in XXL Mag

"Drama just started acting like a bitch. Drama wanted to be Khaled, but he didn’t want to help nobody. He just changed, period. Look at his crew. The same niggas ain’t around him. You ain’t never been in no streets. I could never have no beef with a nigga like that. He’s a cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the fuckin’ feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streets Iz Watchin, because they were selling and distributing them and making money.

I’m not hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn’t charge that nigga for [contributing a verse to the song “5000 Ones,” on Drama’s official Atlantic Records debut]. But then when I need [a tape for one of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000?… I’ll slap the shit out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn’t loyal. But me putting my hands on that man ain’t gonna make him respect what I’m saying. I’m just not gonna fuck with him anymore. ”

Issue will be on newsstands next week. Via XXL Mag

You ain’t never been in no streets.

DJs dont be in the streets...

regardless if what jeezy saying has a truth to it... FUCK DJ DRAMA

lol... i agree on that.. 20,000 is just like wow... like im speechless on that..

id even slap the fuck outta dj drama lol

hahaha

Wow. What a turn of events...Can't wait to read the whole thing...

All I have to go with so far iz, Drama started his career. TM 101 would not have gone plat without TRAP OR DIE killig the streets first.

AS far as Drama starting to act like a bitch, I wouldn't put it past him.

yes and no. nobody really knew who DJ Drama was before Trap or Die. after that dropped, everybody started fuckin with Drama AND Jeezy. it was like a partnership and Jeezy realized that. what Jeezy is sayin is, Drama changed. they was boys but now that he got all this fame and money, the REAL "Drama" is coming out. Drama treatin Jeezy like he do shit for him. charging the nigga that got YOUR career started $20,000 to do a mixtape!?!?! I'd slap the shit outta him for that shit.

simple shit like that shows that Drama isn't LOYAL. fuck the money and shit, if you boys, it's ALWAYS "loyalty before royalty" fuck the rest.

and what Jeezy meant by Drama not being in the streets is, Drama was never a real nigga in the first place. he not built like Jeezy, but he fucked with him anyway because he was "real", only to found out, he's a cornball. he fake. he phony. he a bitch.. I don't know dude, but I always said he was trying to be like Khaled. I even seen the change in him. he stopped fuckin with real niggas and started fuckin with these fake ass rappers.

I agree with that shit. Very reasonable assumptions...

What makes it even worse iz, Drama had a head start on Khaled. Khaled just ended up surpassing him.

Jeezy is speaking the truth...very wise young man

i hve tht same hat...just not as beat up lol

its not beat up...

see those bends on it...its beat up

rawr.....drama responds

This past week, excerpts of Toshitaka Kondo’s September XXL coverstory on Young Jeezy leaked (via the homie Karen Civil)….revealing Jeezy’s harsh words about his former-musical-collaborator, DJ Drama. When asked about his relationship with the Gangsta Grillz DJ, Jeezy says:

“…He’s a cornball. You made millions off my mixtapes, to the point where the fuckin’ feds scooped you up for bootlegging. I never even made the money he made off of Trap or Die or Tha Streets Iz Watchin, because they were selling and distributing them and making money.

I’m not hating. But we will never do a mixtape together. I didn’t charge that nigga for [contributing a verse to the song “5000 Ones,” on Drama’s official Atlantic Records debut]. But then when I need [a tape for one of my artists], and you want to charge me $20,000?… I’ll slap the shit out of Drama. He knows that. He wasn’t loyal…”

This is hardly the first indication of beef between Jeezy and Drama. From onstage statements to altercations between Jeezy’s CTE crew and Drama’s Aphilliates crew (at the Notorious film premiere, and at DJ Trauma’s birthday party), the tension has bubbled over with increasing intensity.

But in response to Jeezy’s quotes, DJ Drama reached out to categorically deny the claim that he charged Jeezy for mixtape projects….

DJ DRAMA’s statement:

“After reading Jeezy’s unprovoked insults in that XXL article, it seems like the guy’s pretty emotional if u ask me! Maybe he’s dealing wit some things in his career, I don’t know. He did an interview a few months back with Elliot Wilson on RapRadar. and said the total opposite! He was talkin bout, “Drams the homie and we may work together again, etc.” Now I’ve never spoken on our issues because I believe grown man business is just that, and running to the media to whine is not my thing.

But more importantly, his statement about me trying to charge him $20k for a mixtape is a BOLD FACE LIE. I never charged Jeezy for nothin’. I did two Slick Pulla tapes (4th Ward Day, Election Day) for free and a Bloodraw tape (The Indictment Papers) for free. Anything Jeezy ever needed from me, I did without hesitation. He doesn’t want to deal with the real reason why he’s mad.

The tension between us actually started when I deejayed his USDA release party (FOR FREE) and I played a Gucci Mane record. He stormed out of his own party and didn’t speak to me for about 2-3 months. Me, being a DJ, I was just rockin’ the crowd and giving the people what they had been requesting. I don’t get involved in that other stuff.

I could go deeper into his angry reaction to me working with Gucci but, again, I’m a stand-up guy. I’m loyal to those who are loyal to me. I’m not even thinkin bout Jeezy. Why all the tough talk to the DJ who doesn’t say nothin’ about him? Jeezy didn’t say nothin’ tough when rappers dissed him like Pimp C.

I was shocked by his cowardly attempt to try to slander my name in the upcoming XXL article. And what’s the most shocking is to see him side with the FEDs in my arrest! Wow, since when did that become gangster?!? I’m chillin, never said nothin’ negative about dude. Check his character…or better yet, ask those around him that he’s done dirty. Ask the folks who ain’t with him anymore, like Coach K, Twin, his former security Big Sam, or my homie Roccett…

We doin’ our thing over here. I’m workin on albums, Gangsta Grillz Vol 3., traveling the world and celebrating success! And I’m still the Mixtape President!”

wow this is getting interesting fast

Uh-oh...I must say, Nice rebuttal.

"Why all the tough talk to the DJ who doesn’t say nothin’ about him? Jeezy didn’t say nothin’ tough when rappers dissed him like Pimp C."

lol

hmm.. now I don't know what to think LOL.. Jeezy got good points but if what Drama is saying is fully true, he got a good point too. idk.

we'll just have to see what happens haha
