Here is a video of Justin Bieber in studio at Hot 97.5 in Las Vegas this week freestyling over the beat from Notorious B.I.G.’s 1995 classic “Who Shot Ya.” Now, I have to say — Biebs actually performs much better in the clip than I though he would, but I think he does help kill to hip-hop a little right here. I’m not saying he delivered the kill shot, mind you — we’ll leave that to the likes of Lil’ Wayne and Drake — but he does stick a butterknife in its kidney, at the very least.
Predictably, some YouTube commenters are positively apoplectic over the video…
LOL HOW DARE JUSTIN BIEBER RAP TO THIS,THIS IS OFFENSIVE TO THE HIP HOP COMMUNITY LEAVE RAP ALONE I LIKE YOU MAN YOU DO YOUR THING YOU GOT LADIES SCREAMING YOUR NAME BUT PLEASE LEAVE RAP ALONE
