BET Hip Hop Awards 2012 - Audience and Show

SchoolBoy Q Pokes Fun At Snoop Lion, A$AP Rocky, Earl Sweatshirt On 'RapFix Live'

Posted 3/28/13 7:20 pm EST by in Music News, RapFix Live

Schoolboy Q is known primarily for his musical talents, but the TDE rapper has also earned himself a reputation for having a pretty sharp sense of rumor. It's especially great when he uses it to riff on his peers, like Mac Miller, who he's taken friendly jabs at before, going back and forth on Twitter. So when he visited "RapFix Live" on Wednesday (March 27), we thought it might be fun to have Q look at a few photos and tell us the first thoughts that came to his mind. The victims were Snoop Lion, Mac Miller, A$AP Rocky (who got an enthusiastic "PAUSE" for his outfit) and Earl Sweatshirt, who probably got it the worst of all. Watch above at the 2 minute mark.

(Waka says he'll 'never ever' work with Gucci again)

By Nadeska Alexis with reporting by Sway Calloway

After sending a blunt tweet a couple of weeks ago, proclaiming that Waka Flocka Flame had been dropped from Brick Squad 1017, a rep for Gucci Mane tried to do damage control by claiming that Guwop's Twitter account had been hacked, but during his visit to "RapFix Live" on Wednesday, Waka said there was definitely no hacking and that his professional relationship with Gucci was completely over.
