Sean was originally pissed when he heard Kendrick go at him. Over the last decade or so, Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar's relationship has been very up and down. They have worked together, but they have also sneak dissed each other on a multitude of occasions. However, based on a recent sit-down with Charlamagne tha God, it seems the Detroit MC felt there has never been any animosity. So, when Sean heard Lamar's leaked "ELEMENT." verse prematurely around the time of Nipsey Hussle's passing, he felt absolutely blindsided. To backtrack a little, the first time the hip-hop community learned about this was back in late 2022. Then, about a year later, the "OG" version of the DAMN. cut would make its way onto the internet, leaving the rap world stunned.

So far, "Y2K" has many listeners less than impressed. Following months of teasing, Ice Spice finally unleashed her debut album last week, Y2K. It boasts features from the likes of Gunna, Central Cee, and Travis Scott. Unfortunately, while the project had a ton of potential, many feel like it left a lot to be desired. Some were even quick to dub it the worst project of the year. That's clearly up for debate, as the Bronx-born baddie arguably delivered at least a couple of bangers. Either way, the album's commercial performance has been less than impressive.
