Pharcyde Fatlip Responds to Dissing Mac Dre & Sleep Dank Fires Back

Send us Fan Mail Fat Lip on dissing Mac Dre in Ludacris music video: Just one day after I posted my video examining the controversy surrounding Ludacris’ “Get Back” video and portrayal of Mac Dre, Fatlip of The Pharcyde responded directly to the video. That quickly turned into a back-and-forth between Fatlip and Sleep Dank. I document their exchange and also take a look at a historical Ludacris tweet that adds another interesting layer to the conversation. 👀What ya'll think? Was the “Get Back” scene really a shot at Mac Dre? Watch the follow-up and decide for yourself. 👇 Let me know what you think in the comments.

Ludacris dissed Mac Dre after death

Send us Fan Mail Ludacris DISSED Mac Dre in video for song released on day of death: There have been questions for years about Ludacris @LudacrisTV “Get Back” music video and whether the opening bathroom scene was intentionally portraying Mac Dre. In this clip, Sleep Dank breaks down the strange details surrounding it: the Mac Dre lookalike with the A’s hat, dreads and mannerisms, the timing of the song and video around Mac Dre’s passing, and the unusual “I came, I saw…” mantra and lyric about being hit “right dead in the jaw.” But perhaps the most interesting detail: Sleep says someone from Mac Dre’s inside circle confirmed to him that the bathroom encounter between Dre and Ludacris was based on a REAL interaction, although Sleep says the way it happened may not have been the way it was portrayed in the video. Was Ludacris really taking a shot at Mac Dre, or are people reading too much into it? 👀 Watch the full clip and decide for yourself.
