Reason On Hip-Hop: "...Never Personal Unless It Is."

Before Rap, Reason was a collegiate athlete. It appears the Porches creator wants to bring that competitive fire to the music - according to his latest tweet.




On Sunday (May 18), Reason drop a kerosene-drenched tweet about hip-hop's competitive nature. "Hip-Hop is a sport," he tweets. "It's never personal unless it is."




The post follows Reason addressing Joey Bada$$'s Red Bull Spiral freestyle in new tracks "The Dead Apple" and "New York Crash." In "New York Crash," Rez raps about the rhymes aren't personal, just answering the call Joey made to the West Coast.




Reason's tracks to Joey follow TDE's Ray Vaughn responding to the Brooklyn rapper/actor with his own diss track. Bada$$ would respond to Ray Vaughn on the new track "The Finals." However, Joey hasn't reacted to Reason's two-pack yet.




Joey Bada$$ battles with West Coast rappers stem from his latest track, "The Ruler's Back." A track that called out Kendrick Lamar and West Coast Hip-Hop to revive the 90s East Coast vs. West Coast energy. In his Sprial freestyle, Joey would clear up his challenge to the West Coast as simply desiring to take on the best emcees.
