In the ever-active world of hip hop, feuds brew as quickly as a beat drops. The latest clash is between talent manager Wack 100 and rising rapper Lefty Gunplay, sparking attention with playful jabs and sharp commentary.
Having simmered for nearly a year, the beef between Wack 100 and Lefty Gunplay took center stage during a recent Vlad TV interview. The exchange originated with a conversation between Wack and Adam22, putting the spotlight on Gunplay’s contribution to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘tv off,’ a track that has gone viral in recent months.
Lefty Gunplay, previously under the radar, saw a surge in popularity thanks to his feature on the track. But despite this boost, his own album, ‘Most Valuable Gangbanger,’ struggled to resonate with listeners. Notably, the project sold fewer than 500 units, a stat Wack 100 didn’t shy away from highlighting.
In the interview, Wack critiqued Gunplay’s appearance on ‘tv off,’ referring to it as merely a collection of four unremarkable words. Wack’s take was that the delivery didn’t amount to much—neither a hook nor a verse, just simple filler. Despite acknowledging the significance of being on a Kendrick Lamar record, Wack was unimpressed with the depth of Gunplay’s contribution.
During the interview, Vlad attempted to shine a positive light on Gunplay’s feature, emphasizing the prestige of appearing on a Lamar album in 2024. Partly agreeing, Wack still found the contribution lacking, arguing it fell short of what would be expected on a production of such caliber, especially when imagining it on a Dr. Dre project.
Still, Wack didn’t withhold all praise, recognizing Gunplay’s rising status in the California music scene. Yet, he expressed skepticism about the strength of his collaborative work. The tension remains thick, as both figures continue to circle around their differing perspectives on artistic merit and commercial success.
In the competitive world of hip hop, Wack 100’s outspoken critique highlights the ups and downs that artists face. Lefty Gunplay’s journey reflects the challenges of turning buzz into lasting success, a task not easily overcome despite notable collaborations.
