The Most Feared People In Hip-Hop..

seven of the most feared people in hip-hop it's widely accepted that many of today's rappers may not have as much experience living the things that they talk about rap like all music is entertainment and to some extent rappers personas are fabricated to make their music more interesting however there are a select few rappers in the industry who sit at the total opposite of this spectrum their persona fully aligns with their music and there is concrete proof that they've lived through the hardships and in some cases misdeeds that they've claimed to as a result there are a handful of artists and businessmen within the industry that are not only respected but feared by their peers and not all of them are feared simply because they have a rap sheet for some it's the level of influence and willingness to use that influence that makes them an intimidating force for others it may be a public misconception about their brand or mission that makes them feared by the public whatever the reason may be there are a select few in hip-hop that have reached an almost mythical level of intimidation before we reveal who they are make sure you like this video and subscribe to the channel now here are seven of the most feared people in hip-hop number seven eminem despite the scout that he's been wearing on his face for the last 25 years eminem is not a particularly imposing person and it's hard to imagine him on the list of most feared people in hip-hop however despite some early assault and battery charges in his career eminem actually makes this list because of an immense level of influence within the rap industry it's well known that eminem began his career as a battle rapper but his antagonistic personality makes him a great target for beef historically those who have challenged him to a feud are unlikely to win and their career often suffers because of it rappers like ja rule everlast and benzeno are all people who have found the career severely damaged by the fallout of a beef with eminem but rapper machine gun kelly who began beefing with m in 2018 is the first to speak out about how exactly this happens according to kelly a tweet in 2012 in which he called eminem's daughter haley hot as f damaged his career significantly and eminem is behind it according to mgk the tweet made em so angry that he had mgk banned from ever appearing on his radio station shade 45 or any of its affiliates including siriusxm he goes on to state that there are plenty of publications that won't quote even listen or review my album because of that tweet number 6 diddy today diddy is known more for his sprawling business empire than his music his umbrella company seancombe enterprises owns or possesses stakes in various companies like sean john clothing and sorak vodka leaving the rapper with a whopping net worth of 820 million dollars but the sad truth is that you don't usually achieve that level of success without cultivating a reputation as a ruthless businessman willing to step on others to get there and unfortunately diddy seems to be no exception to this rule after working his way up the ranks and uptown records diddy went on to create his own label bad boy records while the label's most famous signee was the notorious big it's also been home to a host of smaller acts such as mace and machine gun kelly however a few artists have spoken out about diddy claiming he doesn't take care of his artists most recently mace called out diddy who had recently lashed out at the grammys for disrespecting black music on instagram mace claims that diddy recruited him for an unfairly low signing bonus and has denied him publishing royalties for over 24 years if you think that's mistreating the artist you sign there's more for over two decades diddy has been rumored to have been involved in the shooting of the notorious b.i.g his own artist allegedly diddy was instrumental in the murder of rival label saini tupac shakur and his manager suge knight when the shooter was only able to kill shakur knight supposedly hired a gang member to murder biggie a year later this is a rumor that eminem has spoken on and later apologized for go figure number 5 the baby when you take your first glance at the baby it might be hard to imagine being afraid of him he comes off as very polite and has a charismatic personality however despite this baby has shown time and time again that he is not someone to be messed with as his fame rose exponentially after going viral with his hit suge the baby proved he was unpredictable and prone to violence on multiple occasions the rapper faced lawsuits for assault once after slapping a female fan which he said he didn't realize was a female once after allowing a security team to beat up a male fan and once after beating up a club owner himself despite this the most intimidating incident involving the baby likely happened in november of 2018 while in a north carolina walmart with his daughter and girlfriend the baby was approached by jalen craig who allegedly pulled out a firearm and attempted to rob him the baby was in possession of an illegally concealed weapon which he fired killing craig the case went to court and the murder charge was ultimately dismissed when the jury found the rapper to have been acting in self-defense number 4 birdman birdman is a bizarre and enigmatic figure he once kissed lil wayne on the mouth and he also participates in low rate hip hop reality shows at the same time he runs a label that shaped the early 2000s landscape of hip-hop and gave us access to some of the industry's most successful rappers such as drake lil wayne and nicki minaj but for many birdman is sort of a boogeyman nefarious and demanding respect birdman spent his early life in the notorious crime-ridden new orleans selling drugs with his half-brother drug kingpin terence williams who is currently serving life in prison while birdman has faced similar charges he only served a year and a half in prison and managed to start cash money with his brother having given him the funding during this time birdman established a relationship as a controlling and often violent force over his artists forcing them to perform rain sleet or snow providing exploitative contracts and refusing to let axe leave the label as cash money continued to grow birdman began to invest his money in less than reputable sources including an oil company that brought him under suspicion of tax evasion and money laundering but for years birdman operated in relative secrecy to this date his most public misconduct was in 2015 when he and young thug allegedly had someone shoot up little wayne's tour bus as it was traveling on an atlanta highway yes wayne was in fact in the bus at the time of the shooting and it all supposedly happened because of his public dispute with birdman over his record contract and also his one-sided feud with young thug who had been berating him for months despite an incident linking birdman to the incident wayne and him have rekindled their relationship and we never heard birdman address the shooting number 3 gucci mane if you ever want a better look into the psyche of gucci mane you should read his self-titled autobiography in the book the rapper recounts everything from his rough upbringing in atlanta his time spent as a drug dealer and even the infamous murder charge that he eventually beat but one of the most interesting things the book reveals is that there is hard documentable proof for every rumor about gucci except maybe for the rumor that he's a clone gucci spent the better portion of his early career in and out of jail for a variety of charges ranging from drug possession and distribution to assault and battery even gucci admitted that he found street life alluring long after he had the financial means to leave it behind and he quickly developed a reputation for being a calculating but volatile and often violent person but perhaps the most infamous incident in gucci's life took place in 2005. while at a friend's house a group of armed men barged in and attempted to conduct a robbery gucci and his crew were armed and began to fire back at the intruders one was hit and passed away on the scene not too long after gucci knew that he was in the right and so he turned himself in to dekalb county police over the next few years gucci leaned into his reputation as a tough guy and murderer he routinely calls out peers on social media for minor altercations ruined his relationship with waka flocka flame and went to prison three times this incident was only compounded upon when years later at the height of his addiction to opioids gucci was arrested for acting erratically and ultimately confronting atlanta police while armed with a handgun this began gucci's final prison sentence during which he found reform and decided to turn his life around he came out of prison healthier than ever looking to stay out of trouble for good to this day gucci has not been back to prison since number 2 suge knight if there was one universal boogie man of rap it would be suge knight knight's criminal record is extensive and his involvement in some of the largest rap scandals ever is still in debate today and of course he's currently serving 28 years in a federal penitentiary suge knight was the owner of death row records a record label that came into extreme success and mainstream attention after signing tupac shakur during poc's incarceration in 1995 the signing free tupac from prison while his trial commenced tupac was with knight on the night they assaulted orlando anderson a compton [ __ ] who is commonly thought to have led to the murder of tupac later that same night after tupac's passing death row began to struggle and knight turned to shady business practices employing gang members and allegedly utilizing intimidation and even torture to solidify business deals shook himself has had a long long history of legal trouble between 1995 and 2017 knight has been incarcerated eight times at one point he's supposedly dangled vanilla ice over a beverly hills hotel balcony forcing the ice ice baby rapper to give sug the rights to several of his albums and while he never got in trouble for that suge is currently serving 28 years in prison for a hit and run while you would think facing 28 years would calm you down he was allegedly sending threats to the director of straight outta compton for whatever reason this played a part in his sentencing and his release date is scheduled for 2046 number one jay prince for casual rap fans their only introduction to jay prince might have been his role in squashing the beef between drake and pusha t however the mysterious figure has had a long-standing history as one of the most feared and respected people in hip-hop ceo of rapalot records prince is responsible for launching the careers of various artists including the legendary group ugk and bringing southern
