Charlamagne Tha God says that he enjoys reading headlines about rappers getting shot at, including Lil Wayne’s recent tour bus incident.
‘I love it. I love it, man,” Charlamagne says in an interview with DJ Vlad. “I get tired of hearing these muthafuckas just talk. You know what I’m saying? Like, you’re dissing Young Thug right here. Young Thug’s saying things right there. Somebody do something. Aren’t ya’ll supposed to be gangsters? If you’re gonna be bout it bout it, be bout it bout it.”
Charlamagne references the rift between Lil Wayne and Young Thug, as an example of a rap feud that could elevate.

“If somebody got shot or killed, I would have said, ‘That’s fucked up,’” Charlamagne says. “That’s not what Hip Hop is all about. Since nobody got shot or called and the only thing that hurt was the bus, ‘Hey man, do that shit some more.’ I like those kind of headlines. Shoot it in the air sometimes. Just make me think that shit can get real. Don’t you get tired of these rappers talking about it and not being about it? Like back in the day, you know there were real rappers that got shot and really had beef. Now rappers are all Instagramming…have a fistfight or something. Back in the day Source Awards used to get it popping. Suge Knight had someone swing on Dr. Dre at an award show. G-Unit stabbed a muthafucka.”
Charlagmagne says the recent riots in Baltimore are in example of doing something really big to cause a reaction, which he fully supports.
“To me it’s the same thing with the riots, cause an effect,” Charlamagne says. “Back in the day, you said some crazy shit about somebody, the effect was somebody was gonna come see you. Now we don’t know how a muthafucka may react, but sometimes it’s just good to see a reaction. Niggas don’t even rap anymore. To diss you, they use to come up with bars. They don’t even do that no more. Stop talking. If you ain’t gonna fight, if you ain’t gonna shoot, if you ain’t gonna stab, if you not even gon rap, then shut the fuck up.”
