Waka Flocka recently made some comments about “Dictionary Rap” ..Trag gives his take on the comments….. But it’s not a DISS to Waka
Tragedy Tha Beast – “Dictionary Rap”
Bonus: Tragedy Tha Beast – The Beast Within (Mixtape)
'preciate it joe. good lookin' out
dope shit
That Yoga Flames
Good looks Drew!!!
nice!
YESSIR!!! The CoLLecTiVe!!!!
This is whats up !
Love this dis song its dope is defintely a song ladies can get wit…
This hot…
BUT, Waka is right. Nobody going to pay Tragedy for this shit. He won't get any shows or deals from this.
And no matter what people say about dumb-ing verses down, sometimes people just trying to eat. I don't give a fuck about using punchlines and big words if thats not going to feed my kids. Waka weak ass get paid 50,000 plus for one show. Tragedy probably work at Burger King Full Time.
you're stupid^^^^^

blah blah blah…
so what's your solution buddy? to dumb down raps to it's most ignorant form in order to sell some fucking tapes! should we all migtrate to the souf and become trap stars and spend every last fucking dollar on ice?? ignant niggaz running the rap game and ignant whites run the world… so sad for real mafuckas & smart people
^^Not once did "Solid" say become a "gangster" rapper or "trap" or talk about "ice". You clowns are fuckin retarded. You act like everything is black and white. There are a lot of aspects and angles in rap/hip hop. There are things you can speak on that are in between that. Thats like saying that either you have to be a dumb ass rapper like Gucci/Wacka or you have to be Mos Def. Its a lot of shit that goes on in between that. Kanye is a mainstream ass nigga. He don't talk about all that trappin shit but he not extra lyrical either.
In a way I agree with Solid bc if you want to make the real money you have to make songs for radio release. Shit, even the homie Jay Elec had to dumb his shit down. After years of stubborness he finally realized that he could speak on the same shit he been speaking on but he had to take it down a notch to everyday niggas levels. Now he get mad spins everywhere(except stupid ass Chicago radio). don't believe go check out his old work. Went way above a lot of peoples heads.
Before you bloggers type, make sure you think it out.
^ no he didn't but he did make the comparison. and "Solid" also said to dumb down cause "dictionary rap" doesn't pay, yet gucci guuci and wacka blocka get 50+ racks a gig! ofcourse Kanye makes more than all these trap niggas, but we're not talking about "Kanye" Yeezy makes hit music, may be "mainstream" but it's hit music! and hit music sells! on the other hand Cacka flames and Coochi Mane make trash! and the only reason they sell is cause all these kids think trapin' and slangin' is the coolest shit! that's all these niggas rap about! Jay Elec may dumb down, that's him! He ain't sold shit yet either! FUCK DUMBING DOWN! TRAG STEP IT UP!!!
HIP-HOP IS BEING OVER FLOODED WITH KATS THAT MAKE GARBAGE MUSIC! NO TALENT, NO EXPERIENCE, NO CARE FOR THE STATE OF THE GAME!! $$$$$ICE$$$$BITCHES&$$$$$$ THAT'S ALL THESE NIGGUZ THINK ABOUT! MEANWHILE, ALL THE ACTS WITH REAL TALENT AND REAL SKILL GET THE FUCKIN' LEFT OVERS! THE FUCKIN STRAPS!! TO HELL WITH DUMBING DOWN TO GET EXCEPTED! DO YOU! GAIN RESPECT AND A FAN BASE! MAKE HIT MUSIC AND KATS WILL FOLLOW! $$$$ WILL COME WITH THAT! OR YOU CAN "DUMB DOWN" AND CONTRIBUTE TO THIS OVER SATURATED CIRCUS OF BAFOONS & CLOCK 50+ STIZZLES A SHOW (IF THAT!)
Shit, I'd dance around on stage for fifty grand a night! You can keep your hop hop! Ill even shave my croch and join fucking Twitter

JUST CAUSE A NIGGA NOT RAPPIN USING BIG WORDS AND SHIT OR RAPPIN BOUT THE ECONOMY OR TRYNA BE DEEP DON'T MEAN HE TALKING BOUT BITCHES, ICE, AND CARS. THE WORLD IS HUGE AND ITS MILLIONS OF OTHER THINGS PEOPLE SPEAK ON. "BOOYAKA" SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP BEING BITTER BC U CAN'T GET ON. AND USE YOUR REAL NAME NEXT TIME SO WE CAN LOOK UP YOUR GARBAGE ASS MUSIC.I GUARANTEE YOU MOST LIKELY ARE GARBAGE WHEN IT COME TO BARS. HIP HOP HAS MORE THAN ONE SIDE TO IT. NIGGAS WAS MAD AT SOULJA BOY FOR HAVING A DANCING ASS RAP SONG(SUPERMAN) BUT YALL MUST OF FORGOT WHEN HIP HOP/RAP FIRST STARTED THATS ALL NIGGAS USE TO DO WAS DANCE AND SHIT. WERE THEY DUMBING IT DOWN BACK IN THE DAY??? NO THEY WEREN'T. DO YOUR RESEARCH. ITS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO RAP. YOU DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU FEEL. IF EVERYBODY RAPPED THE SAME HIPHOP WOULD BE BORING. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.PEOPLE EATING OUT HERE. IF I WAS A RAPPER I RATHER DUMB IT DOWN FOR ONE SONG AND MAKE MILLIONS RATHER THAN WORK A 9-5 FOR 10 BUCKS AN HOUR
im not an artist sucka ^ im a crtitic! so what yal really saying is… DUMB DOWN THE LYRICS TO SELL? NUFF SAID! FUCK THAT!! LET THE DICTIONARY RAP / KOOL G RAP / KRS ONE / SLAUGHTERHOUSE / SLIM SHADY / TECH N9NE / TRAGEDY THE FUCKIN BEAST RAP CONTINUE! like I said, YEEZY makes "HITS" not, "gangbangin" HITS! FLASHIN LIGHTS or THROUGH THE WIRE hits! GUCCI MANE MAKES TRASH! So in your opinion TRAG should rap, something in between? FUCK YALL NIGGUZ, BOOYAKAH BOOYAKAH
on another note…… if you have to dumb down anything, your giving in! you're not being yourself!! you really think "Kanye" dumbs himself down??? HELL NAW! if that nigga did that or gave a FUCK about you or me, he wouldn't have snatched that mic out of TAYLOR SWIFTS hands niggah!!! YOUR FAVORITE "MC" CAN DUMB DOWN SUCKA BUT I JAM SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!! NIGGUH WE DON"T DUMB DOWN FOR YOU, JAY "ELEC" OR ANY OF YALL!
^SHUT YOUR DUMB ASS. JAY ELECTRONICA DOES DUMB HIS SHIT DOWN AND SO DOES KANYE. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT DUMB ASS. ON HIS MAINSTREAM RADIO HITS THEY HAVE TO SO THERE SHIT WON'T GO OVER PEOPLES HEADS. ASK AROUND. IM IN THE INDUSTRY, YOU'RE JUST A RAPPER GIVING HIS OPINION OF WHAT YOU ASSUME. SHUT UP
AND BASICALLY YOUR ARGUMENT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE ONCE AGAIN. YOU'RE GETTING DESPERATE NOW. DUMBING DOWN IS NOT "GIVING" IN. EVEN TALIB AND KWALI DUMBED SHIT DOWN. ITS NOT GIVING IN ITS CONNECTING WITH YOUR FAN.
AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T PROVED YOUR POINT. PEOPLE DUMB DOWN SO THEY CAN EAT, SO THEY CAN CONNECT BETTER WITH FANS, AND SO THEY CAN GET RADIO PLAY AND SHOWS.
AND AS IT WAS SAID BEFORE. "DUMBING" DOWN DOESN'T MEAN RAPPING ABOUT DUMB ASS TOPICS LIKE BITCHES, WEED, EX, RIMS, CARS, AND CLOTHES. DUMBING DOWN MEANS TAKING WHAT YOU'RE RAPPING ABOUT AND MAKING IT A LITTLE MORE SIMPLE.
JAY Z, NAS AND ALL THE GREATS HAVE DONE IT FROM TIME TO TIME.
SO AGAIN. YOU LOSE. LEARN SOMETHING AND SHUT YOUR FAILED RAPPING ASS UP. AND ITS GREAT THAT YOU BUMP SLAUGHTER HOUSE BUT LOOK AT THEIR SALES. AND JOE BUDDEN EVEN DUMBED SHIT DOWN AT ONE POINT IN TIME IN HIS CAREER SO AGAIN YOU LOSE DUMB ASS.
Booyakah, you need not speak on Kanye taking the mic that has nothing to do with superstardom. Kanye will do anything for the fame. If he is willing to take a mic then he is definitely down for dumbing down some bars seriously. In plus that shit was a known publicity stunt.Everybody in the Industry knows that. Don't talk about things you have no idea about
Kanye doesn't give a fuck! he makes hits! he doesn't dumb down, he just makes hits. He goes into the studio, comes up with a concept, vibes, produces, writes and makes hits. I strongly doubt Yeezy would ever say, "this is to lyrical, I need to bring it down a notch" If the nigga's not super lyrical, that's because THE NIGGA'S NOT SUPER LYRICAL! NUFF SAID!! stop trying to make an excuse for all the rapper guys to dumb shit down! I used the Taylor Swift argument cause Kanye does not care what any one think, so he's not gonna hold back his actions or simplify his craft for you or me! bitches.
You would claim to be in "the industry" and i wouldn't doubt that shit either! because you sound like the typical industry, suit and tie faggot that dictates what should and shouldn't come out of these rapper's mouths! the type of clown that thinks he knows every damb thing about hip-hop and wants to simplify everyone for the buck$$$!!! that one simp ass niggah that says "ahh he aint gonna sell" or "that's why so and so make more than him" well I do like SLAUGHTERHOUSE alot, mostly Crooked, Royce & Joell because they allways eat shit up! Mouse isn't my favorite member, he's actually the weakest link! probly why he fits so well into your argument! PUSSY IF YOUR IN THE INDUSTRY, TELL US WHO YOU ARE!
they call me Booyakah, from south Memphis. I like raps from all regions. i dont make music, i just buy it. and i'd be damb'd if im gonna go out and buy some shit that a niggah dumbed down! that bs is killing hip-hop and these suckaz are just doing it to get excepted! i'll tell you one thing, Tech N9ne NEVER dumbs his shit down and he's the number #1 independent artist in the country! and independent money is getting greater these days! just wait till all the major labels fall off the rap scene, cause that day is coming
What a great resource!
