#noname #jayz #rihanna
The track is actually nice, and her points are very valid. She even mentioned how she did the same thing as all the artists she "dissed".
Of course they’ll ignore the past few lines of that verse when she calls herself out for coming back and performing for white folks
@@dfrnt_hues Y'all didn't watch past 1:15 in the video 😂😂😂
Mm
A diss feels like the wrong word. It’s more like calling out… not the same thing
I'm about my titles what the fuck is a no-name
@@silentambition2080she’s a dope ass rapper
"Diss" gets more clicks than "called out " lol
@@maxwellsamuel3255 ehh dope is a stretch 😂she iight though
@maxwellsamuel3255 looks like she smoke dope too The new Azealia Banks
While yes I’m a fan of the artists she’s calling out, she makes a strong point. I really don’t feel this is a diss cuz she included herself. I feel this is about us black people always caught in the ‘code switch’ to get by.
YUPPP
Would you turn down an offer to perform at the Super Bowl
@@Thecriticalasshole that’s the question right? Take the money and set up your fam for life, or say fuck ‘em. I honestly don’t know.
She's only talked about whenever she's starting drama with other black people.
Yup.
She’s not “starting drama with black people”. She’s making commentary on our community, which is something that is black artists or in my case journalists do on a regular basis. Hollywood would like to keep everyone entertained and unthinking, so it’s easy when a major media platform like this intentionally skews this as “CalLiNg OuT” and naive and defensive people write it off instead of thinking about it.
@@echad6259yikes , imagine being complicit with said “black” ppl YALL BLINDLY support while they leave the rest of us behind lol a confident clown, you are lolllll
@@Randomjackass135 She didn't say shit until her new project released It's pretty fucking convenient. Also how is she not calling out jay z? She literally said she doesn't fuck with him.
@@Randomjackass135jay z has done more for the Black community than her Twitter fingers will ever do. In fact everyone she criticizes does more than her.
Noname is smart. She's proving to the people why they call her Noname
Lol
lmfao
She better than your favorite rapper 😂
@@corrosivedevourer the perfect ass kisser
@corrosivedevourer she's nothing special at all, but for art hoes who also go to poerty meets....... yh she's the best thing ever.
She’s sending a message lol never mind the big names it’s what she’s saying
exactly but its so funny watch ppl diss her bc she interfering w their weak ass idol worship
@@TheMega12121 then she should leave those names out because, like it or not, that's what everyone is now focused on. If she has a message, she needs to stick to that message. But she's a trash ass rapper who needs controversy to stay relevant
@@EI_West1984 yeah idk what to say, except that comprehension is so important lol
@@robertfoster6940 was that meant to illustrate how you didn't comprehend the statement??? Bitch can't stay on topic and now her message is lost in controversy cause that's all she can use to sell. Her skills are mediocre....at best. Talib, Mos, Zion I, Immortal Technique, Wu Tang, Public Enemy, etc etc they've all said the same shit only better
she's not a trash rapper at all and we need controversy otherwise things won't change nothing wrong w challenging celebs to snap out of they bullshit too @@EI_West1984
calling it a diss feels like missing the point when she mentions herself in the exact same way, in the same verse. it's a critique of the way we consume hip hop in general
Anything Jay-Z does has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Business over anything else. If it doesn't make business sense then he doesn't do it. He'll help others as long as he benefits too. He's always been this way and only in recent years started being a bit better. But everyone who works with him eventually spill the beans of how he truly is. Selfish, cold, money orientated always. It's been his drive since before music.

@@maknificentthegreat3441 Dehaven, Jaz-O and Dame would agree
This is how most people in the world are and nothing wrong with that.
@@DestoFlixJaz O currently has a production deal with Roc Nation
Noname trended twice in her life. This and calling out Cole. Talk about feeling yourself too much. 🤦🏾♂️ couldn't just spark a random beef huh. She punching all the way up. but Rihanna saying she can't be a sellout then going back to do it is foul.
shes right shes calling out the hypocrasy even one she finds in herself
Here she go again. Most people forget that Mr Morale had a few tracks addressing her previous comments on Kendrick and Cole.
Do u know any of the bars or the name of the tracks so I can go back and catch the lines addressing it
@@gregt-f3907 given her initial tweet about him not tweeting or protesting, a few songs and lines fit, and broader than that themes throughout do the project do the same. Worldwide Steppers highlights his not being innocent and calls out society hiding lies and posing for pictures. Which is to say that one: he’s not perfect, and two: f**k a tweet everybody 🧢 online. Rich Spirit does the same with lines about his phone being broke and how he’d never live his life on a computer. Crown address how you can’t please everyone and the responsibility that comes with being at the top. Savior and Mirror are perhaps the most direct references about him not being a hero or owing us more than everything he puts into his music. The heart part 5 highlights the ills of the culture and how he’s given us songs that speak for us. Even the intro starts with telling us why he’d been so private “going through something”. The album wasn’t directly addressed to her but a response to the sentiments she put out there and the expectations of artists like him and Cole as messianic figures. In her defense though he has had music in the past that has a savior complex. She’s no fool and she’s not been entirely wrong.
@@gregt-f3907mirror is one of them.
@@gregt-f3907 Kendrick’s last verse on “Mirror”
@@gregt-f3907the third verse on mirror
Ayy those are bars and it's rap culture I side with her sentiment that's what hip hop need another shake up like what Kendrick Lamars control did
This won't do ish 😂
And noname’s the one to shake things up? 🤣
Gawd I hope so I'm tired of all these subliminal shots. We need another hit em up, no Vaseline, real MF Gs diss tracks. Wanna see Beyonce or Rihanna respond to this 😆
@@Alisol96clearly bc here u are commenting
@@StillAwesome21I mean you on here talkin about it right?
Ya remember when everybody was mad at cole cause he said he aint like her tone
Watch people cape for the personalities they like instead of looking critically.
She's kinda right but at the same time most anyone would perform at superbowl halftime if the opportunity was there. I see both sides. Shout out to Beyonce, Kendrick and Jay, and shoutout to Noname for putting out another dope ass album!
Noname is always dissing people without looking internally herself. Some of those people I could understand but most of them no. It's like when she dissed j Cole for not being "active" enough when it came to black issues and police brutality. J Cole, arguably the most pro active rapper when it comes to social issues. I feel like she's reflecting and deflecting.
She literally critiqued herself in the same song. I swear some of yall are remedial
She also dissed Kendrick
@@moe_factzwhat song are u talking about, she wasn't talking about herself when she said rappers make entire black albums but don't actually be supporting black people
Album got to sell some kind of way controversy
In what world is J. Cole the most active rapper when it comes to social issues?
Her name is Noname nuff said
Dat
Yeah you need to wake up
U thought u did sum w/ this comment huh?😂😂u really thought u ate huh?😂😂😂 goofy ahh stfu
don’t hate on noname bruh she can spit for real.
thats a shallow perspective ….unknown ppl make great positive impacts everyday. u sound like a idol worshipper.
Yes, let's diss those who are looking out for themselves. Even though there are a bunch of rappers pushing gun violence and genocide. So profiting for self is more important than a life or several lives got it.
Must be tiresome splitting hairs like this
@@william58295 Not quite the opposite. I enjoy calling out the tiresome victim mentality and the “oppression” people claim they go through.
@@MrBondSinatra I agree. Victim mentality sucks. Got that same energy for those Jan 6 rioters that blame blacks, immigrants, and gay people for all their short comings? To me, that’s victim mentality at its finest 😌
But she is aiming at the BIG GUNS 💬🪖
@@kingjames2381 They aren't big guns. It's people that are bigger than them. Also, influence is power. I'd rather worry about the millions being influenced to create genocide than what Jay-Z and the NFL are doing.
Noname - my love forever. She's unique.
Her name is noname for a reason
if shes so irrelevant why did u even comment on this video? lol
like obviously she has a name if coachella invited her to perform . yall love to downplay ppl who feel confident to critique bigger names and i just dont get it. ur saying bc these ppl are richer than her she cant critique them? does that mean u cant call out ur boss at work for their mistakes???
I don’t think she’s wrong. It is a deep critique. I did feel a way from Jay Z partnered with the NFL. However, Jay Z did push the NFL to make certain changes. He made change from the inside. Black people fully boycotting the NFL just wasn’t happening at that point. I remember seeing celebrities partying in Atlanta for the Super Bowl that year. Players also weren’t boycotting either. It was just a mess. For a boycott to be effective, you have to be extremely disciplined.
Boosie said it. Jay Z is nothing to most of black people. His words is not the law.
@nintendofannot4898 and neither is Boosie's
Like really what was boycotting the NFL really going to prove People went from complaining about lyrics in the Star-Spangled Banner Two police Injustice Went from taking a knee with Colin Kaepernick to complaining about him not getting his job back All the way to Jay-Z making business deal just to watch the Super Bowl halftime show to years in a row after all that.
@@silentambition2080 I'm not saying boosie is. I'm just saying Jay Z acts as if he's the speaker or someting. Like he's the guy we should follow when he made business deals behind backs and act like it's all cool. Like how he tried to stop Travis Scott from performing in 2019 because he was boycotting and think everyone should "boycott" with him. Who does he think he is? Because he's a billionaire or some??
@nintendofannot4898 he sounds like most black people when they want you to vote for Obama or against Trump Or when you have an unpopular opinion like dmx better than Tupac and everybody (diss-agree) . Besides that's no reason to be mad at him after all Travis wasn't
She needa stop she got HUMBLED by J Cole she need to stop tryna start beef especially when her stage name is noname an unknown person
She smoked Cole
@@kingjames2381she just points fingers. She would rather complain about things than actually offer solutions. I appreciate her artistry, but lately she just complains about shit, and it gets old
@@kingjames2381HELL NO 😂😂
She humbled jcole
@@buffyshillings3138not true no name has a radical politic and does a ton of work in the community and gives back. Wtf are you talking about
Never heard “strategist” pronounced like that
It seems more like an acknowledgement than a diss. Like the ongoing conflict between rap being mainstream and the baggage that goes with it and the inherent anti-authoritanian themes of the music.
I'm just hear for the noname bashing.
Lobo, HERE. Not HEAR
@@OLUWABABA Playas fuck up from time to time lol
You obviously have more important things to worry about, like those overdue remedial English classes ma'am
Black on black will never stop
The need to want to fight
The issue starts by calling yourself "black"😂...
So whats the message??? Boycott those that did the halftime show? Should we boycott the NFL? If we do that wouldnt that be hustling backwards since we would affect the paychecks of all the black players that basically make up what 85-90% of the league?
no clearly black ppl should start their own sports leagues no matter what it takes. think before u speak or make comments.
@@TheMega12121so blacks should make their own sports league that's still gonna be run by white people I don't think you get how the system works
If them Niggas don’t play there Is no league
What’s a league without that same 85-90 percent you speak of
No name and that "Not Atlanta" girl always try to get light shined on them by putting down other artists... It's kinda weird to me 🤷🏿♂️
5 year wait? How else do you get attention? Jigga just raised 20 mill for people...
Raised money for who?
I understand where she is coming from but I don't watch football and think about the military complex
Who even listens to this artist? She has a sesame Street sounding flow.
Diss is not a word I would use but rather she was pointing it out what everyone can and will not see going on.
NFL does create many black millionaires 🤷🏾♂️
How many keep their millions?
@@moe_factzany player who couldn’t keep their millions is due to their own poor financial choices
@@hansiseymour9388 which they are institutionalized and not taught how to keep their millions. Listen to TPAB.
First - I always hear her name next to critique but never next to actually DOING anything. What does NoName do, besides rap and tweet? The only thing I could find, outside of dropping mixtapes and doing poetry is, she has…….. A Book Club… I can say JayZ buses high school students to HBCUs along the east coast and provides scholarships. I can say JayZ funds his mother to get people out of prison. I can say JayZ led a protest to stop Art Education funding from being cut from schools. But, I cannot say I’ve ever heard of NoName building anything. Maybe she does it on the low????? I’ve never heard anyone ELSE talk about her impacting them either though?? Who is this person??? Is she just using their names for publicity???? Because when J Cole responded back, she really just talked about, “his tone” rather than having a healthy dialogue. Second, How is a HipHop show propaganda for the military? Esp since the lyrics and imagery is unchanged from what it is. Lol it’s not even a poignant point she made. Yes, the military paid the NFL for half time show’s to promote enlistment. But, that’s no different than the military taking out ads on TV and KZhead. Does she put her music on KZhead? Would she she talk on TV? She does most of her rants I’ve seen on Twitter... Twitter worked DIRECTLY with the Pentagon to amplify state stories about the middle east, and Elon Musk has bowed down to several foreign governments over censorship. So, does she promote the military industrial complex? Lol. No, right? Neither does Beyonce performing at a half time show with Black marching bands. Even if the critique was just over treatment of certain Black players - again, Elon Musk has several lawsuits against his companies for discriminatory practices in his companies and Spotify is platform blatantly racist podcast content. So, why isn’t her song being released on an independent E-Stim or something? Lol, it’s because these platforms are currently the only way to reach a wide audience with whatever you’ve got to say. The bars are lazy and so is her flow on the track. This type of political rap was played out in 20 years ago, bro. The real emcees like Dead Prez evolved to actually building institutions for young people to train their minds and bodies. Immortal Technique and Ghostface went and built schools. Pharrell built 1 school, has another school on the way, and helps Black start up companies get investment funds for their ideas.
She runs a book club for inmates
You don’t get it.
@@OLUWABABAagree. Look, you can critique the music, you can say you don’t agree with the Cole diss but naming Pharrell showed you really don’t understand the far left perspective noname has. I mean, maybe I’m different since I hate sports but it’s no accident that these popular and rich dudes engage in the very safe activity of sports discussion but nothing but surface level critiques of capitalism. Do you really think Pharrell who just did a deal with a ultra rich luxury brand is doing what’s needed to make the world a better place? Come on son, analyze deeper
She is a typical communist with bad takes. She thinks that she's thinking but really she is not thinking about anything. 😂
Ain't nobody reading all that
There's a difference between a commentary and a diss - especially when you lump yourself right there with your critique.
"For playing me y'all shall forever remain nameless / I - AM - HOV " -- JAY-Z , The Blueprint .
Never ever heard of this 🤡
Her artist title is absolutely correct … she has no name
That super bowl performance was crazy tho
I’m not the biggest no-name fan but one thing I do appreciate about her is that she sticks to her fucking guns
She didn’t really say shit. I expected something more introspective but of course she wouldn’t go that far. Could’ve made a statement but didn’t say shit 🤷🏽♂️ and she also fell victim. Kinda pointless point…
It's practically all her music. It's never from a genuine or authentic place either, she tries to be woke but fails. She grew up in the suburbs and obtained entitlement from it. Her ego, internalized self hate, and bitterness always is showing. She has her own book club dedicated for black women but has admitted that she doesn't even read any of the material, just skims through it. She also platformed Jay Electronica on her new album. She's a weirdo and is honestly worse than the people she "dissed".
@@aj8331 Let ppL be weird. Their entitled to that. And clearly those insecurities are real. Look at the path she’s taken. Most chiiCz are like that but they internalize the shit and don’t have a platform. I deadass have exes like this. I wouldn’t at all be focused on somebody else’s personal issues. It’s like Drake. Just let ppL talk they shit. Makes for good content.
shes crying for help bro….
I'dont know her but this is a great list for a diss track hope she is 🔥
That was no diss. Noname even mentioned herself as part of the people falling for the same trap. Listen!
"The cat is out the bag, I'm not your savior"
LOVE IT
Happy 50th anniversary to hip-hop. Happy anniversary to the first creators of it, the CIA, who did it for nefarious reasons but despite the plan to divide, hip-hop hits hard. There's a reason Noname called this Black Mirror and talks about the Military Complex.
Yeah that's not at all true 😂 but I see the point you were trying to get to
CIA created hip hop 😂 u funny
Noname 🏆🐐🎯🙏❤
So this is what has consumed her life? Wow.. guess dissing these people are more important than anything else going on in the world 🌎..
She not dissing them she’s calling them out. Comprehension is key
@@maxwellsamuel3255calling them out for putting on a show for millions to see how about call out black on black violence
Imagine working hard and following your dreams and making it so big, millions of people want to see you at a sports game (being played by rich black people) and then a no name try to diss you. 🤣 Couldn't be me.
I know bruh idk why they try to make it about race as if blacks ppl don’t play for the nfl and black ppl watch she just a another “activist”rapper
Exactly
"Diss" 😂😂😂 , theres a difference between pennig a social critique on how art is used as a tool of empire and "dissing" but hey get your audience traffic and thoughtless engagement's
Once she got j cold heated JCOLE I knew it was up for noname
Her music's "5-years" too late = nobody told her
Anybody listens to this woman? I heard of her from J. Cole mentioning her in a song, to which she dissed him when he only complimented her. That right there turned me off to not listen to her.
Never heard of her
Don't be a sheep. Noname is speaking facts
Nope.
Psh no lol
Her stuff is actually dope.
No clue why people gas Noname up for saying the most basic stuff. She just name drops like The Game to get her name in headlines.
Not a diss, just callin em out
Who she talking to? Who is listening to Noname in 2023 and going to the superbowl? Thats on her art
her disses mean jack when she platformed that jay verse on balloons
That Kendrick performance was 🔥. Fuk what a hater say
😂😂😂
I totally respect the point she's making, but at the same time, I think such moral purity can be counter-productive. Being the most morally upright person doesn't do anyone any good if it prevents said person from engaging with the wider culture. At worst, it can even be selfish - I mean, what's more important, an individual's personal integrity or doing all that can be done to try pushing things in a positive direction, no matter how slightly, even if it means getting your hands dirty? The important thing is to remain diligently aware of your own motivations, to do your best to be sure you're not just making excuses to enable personal gain at your cause's expense.
No lie was told
i loveee her music but i’m ngl i disagree with some of the points she makes. but hey ! that’s part of music as an art form, you don’t have to agree with everything. needless to say i don’t think this was a diss track more like ‘calling out’
great album
I got a crush on no name now
L
Don't go chasing waterfalls
“Magazines said I'm shallow-I never learned to swim Still, they put me on they cover 'cause I earn for them” might not be on the cover but their in the track. seems like a clout chase to me.
I'm just here for all the bootlickers defending their beloved celebs
right
Noname diss jay-z Beyoncé Kendrick Lamar’s Rhianan 😮👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
She tap like the 90s nobody wanna hear ts 💯
u always got simple minded ppl not even caring about the substance behind what someone is trying to say smh
She doesn’t seem like a fan of football anyway
She’s a dope artiste, I love her voice and that jam sounded like fire. Must check out the album now
She didn’t lie though
It doesn't sound like a dissertation to me
She’s calling out the wrong artist try again no name and next time put to talent in in it smh
she stole her name fprm a l.a. underground artist
Jay-Z is a politician He’s not the business or a rapper anymore. Just a politician.
I respect her right to free speech. I also see the hypocrisy when she's doing the same thing and thinks she's absolved because mentions it. How much did Coahella pay her?
I see why she is Noname i don't know who she is
I DON'T THINK HER OPINION MATTERS TO THE UPPER CLASS ENTERTAINERS DEMON CLOUT
Hmmm. Its more music than diss. More art than opinion. Its easy for her and I to see Kendrick on stage at the superbowl and not see how far HH has come.
She KS right and speaking facts
But she right tho...
Noname makes a lot of sense now I get her rap name lol who the fuck is she I never heard of her till now bro and she calling out all the big names in hip hop history this is how she’s making her money 😂😂😂😂😂
Lol I’m so confused about people always being sooo mad at jayz but they still care about Kanye west. I really want people to sit down and write a list of things Kanye has down or said that uplifted block people. Then I want them to do the same thing for jayz. I promise you jayz has done more. That’s why I will never take y’all criticisms as valid y’all are hypocrites.
So first time I hear her is dissing people above her level…👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
Damn! Whe makes a com0lex gr8t point.
Where tf did she diss anyone of them funny asf to say she diss anyone I'm going to sue you for false advertising to catch people attention

Five years later, Noname apologized for her song. 😂☯️🤦
Noname is really against the industry...and she's soooo smart...amazing artist
yall clearly do not know who she is.
Saw her at coachella this year. Her set was hella awkward. Not a great performer. Mids.
As a study track this is hot. But I don't think this is a song it's more of a poem. Cuz as a song this was ass.
@@officialshamblesxoshe’s literally talking over a beat
@@varga4488 Let her microwave... just not cook. Because yeah this is like idk.
She pretty dope tbh.. I’m sure all those she dissed still give her props..
She sounds good
Was it a diss though?
I ain’t mad at her. I love this sista. I just hope she doesn’t become infamous like my boi Game.
She trying to get on then just say that. Nothing wrong with the nfl nor does it align with propaganda
She’s talented, and eager to take her career from one level to the next, but it’s somewhat naive and risky to publicly call out major artists and stakeholders who have lots of influence and clout in the music industry, when you are not yet in their league. Those who hold the power could potentially influence others against you, and eventually hamper your career. Yeah, yeah, I know about free speech and all of that and whether or not there is some truth to what she’s saying. But one has to be smart and understand the politics of the industry in which they are operating in.
What in the world is this noname ?
u didnt see the video? there’s literally a photo of her and her music in playing. pay attention
@TheMega12121 i was referring to this BS song she made. I know man.
She could've dissed the weeknd too but i guess he was just irrelevant to the song😂
Well, at least she’s punching up?
