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".

A diss feels like the wrong word. It’s more like calling out… not the same thing

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.

She's only talked about whenever she's starting drama with other black people.

Noname is smart. She's proving to the people why they call her Noname

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

She’s sending a message lol never mind the big names it’s what she’s saying

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.

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.

NFL does create many black millionaires 🤷🏾‍♂️

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?

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.

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

shes right shes calling out the hypocrasy even one she finds in herself

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.

Who even listens to this artist? She has a sesame Street sounding flow.

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.

Her name is noname for a reason

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

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.

Her name is Noname nuff said

I'm just hear for the noname bashing.

Never ever heard of this 🤡

5 year wait? How else do you get attention? Jigga just raised 20 mill for people...

Here she go again. Most people forget that Mr Morale had a few tracks addressing her previous comments on Kendrick and Cole.

Watch people cape for the personalities they like instead of looking critically.

That Kendrick performance was 🔥. Fuk what a hater say

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 - my love forever. She's unique.

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 KZfaq. Does she put her music on KZfaq? 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.

Black on black will never stop

Ya remember when everybody was mad at cole cause he said he aint like her tone

JAY Z HELPED BLACK PEOPLE IN THE NFL…SIDE BAR: THOSE BARS WERE WACKKKKKK 😂

Her artist title is absolutely correct … she has no name

"For playing me y'all shall forever remain nameless / I - AM - HOV " -- JAY-Z , The Blueprint .

I understand where she is coming from but I don't watch football and think about the military complex

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…

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 🤷🏿‍♂️

I’m not the biggest no-name fan but one thing I do appreciate about her is that she sticks to her fucking guns

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.

"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

Lol she's even hating on Kendrick. Who hates on Kendrick? Only a no name indeed🙄

She spitting facts tho

“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

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.

That was no diss. Noname even mentioned herself as part of the people falling for the same trap. Listen!

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.

Jay-Z is a politician He’s not the business or a rapper anymore. Just a politician.

Song sucked tho

Never heard “strategist” pronounced like that

she stole her name fprm a l.a. underground artist

Delusional 😤

🗑️ 🗑️

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 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.

There's a difference between a commentary and a diss - especially when you lump yourself right there with your critique.

Saw her at coachella this year. Her set was hella awkward. Not a great performer. Mids.

She is the most annoying rapper out there 🙄

She tap like the 90s nobody wanna hear ts 💯

Who she talking to? Who is listening to Noname in 2023 and going to the superbowl? Thats on her art

u always got simple minded ppl not even caring about the substance behind what someone is trying to say smh

She’s a dope artiste, I love her voice and that jam sounded like fire. Must check out the album now

I DON'T THINK HER OPINION MATTERS TO THE UPPER CLASS ENTERTAINERS DEMON CLOUT

Diss is not a word I would use but rather she was pointing it out what everyone can and will not see going on.

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’

She mid

But she right tho...

She could've dissed the weeknd too but i guess he was just irrelevant to the song😂

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.

I ain’t mad at her. I love this sista. I just hope she doesn’t become infamous like my boi Game.

Once she got j cold heated JCOLE I knew it was up for noname

Her music's "5-years" too late = nobody told her

So this is what has consumed her life? Wow.. guess dissing these people are more important than anything else going on in the world 🌎..

Noname diss jay-z Beyoncé Kendrick Lamar’s Rhianan 😮👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

That super bowl performance was crazy tho

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.

whole album is booty

Noname is really against the industry...and she's soooo smart...amazing artist

Yall missed the point

Noname 🏆🐐🎯🙏❤

She didn’t lie though

Common Noname L, so much internal bitterness as always

Kendrick Beyoncé performance was fire 🔥 and they did make political statement….the rest not so much

She KS right and speaking facts

All this infighting for what purpose? You got a problem with the NFL or whatever why not mention Roger Stokoe Goodell, or any of the NFL owners why is it she has to target other black artists. Who also speak on the same issues she does.

I got a crush on no name now

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?

No lie was told

"The cat is out the bag, I'm not your savior"

Y’all be impressed over anything 💀 this was weak

What in the world is this noname ?

BOLD! I like it!

She sounds good

her disses mean jack when she platformed that jay verse on balloons

She pretty dope tbh.. I’m sure all those she dissed still give her props..

shes right

Five years later, Noname apologized for her song. 😂☯️🤦

Knownlame is great at being insufferable I’ll give her that

So first time I hear her is dissing people above her level…👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽
