Uncle Murda has returned with his latest “Rap Up” song, this time chewing over the antics of Kanye West, Gunna, Megan Thee Stallion and many more in unfiltered fashion.
The Brooklyn rapper continued his annual trend of recapping the biggest moments in Hip Hop culture of the past year on Saturday (December 31) with the release of “Rap Up 2022.”

The 15-minute track finds him dedicating ample bars to Kanye West, who he crowned “Donkey of the Year” for his various controversies, including his antisemitic and pro-Hitler remarks, White Lives Matter shirts and comments about George Floyd.
“Let’s talk about Kanye being antisemitic, the adidas deal that made him a billionaire got deaded / Now he only worth ’bout four, five hundred M’s / He lost his momma, Pete Davidson started fucking Kim / He be dressing dusty now, he don’t even look rich / He been looking stressed since that white boy took his bitch,” Murda raps over a soulful, hard-hitting beat.

“You already know JAY-Z be ignoring him, he violated George Floyd, Black people ain’t supporting him / He was on ‘Drink Champs’ sounding like a fucking clown / N.O.R.E. and them had to go and take the interview down / He defended the cop that had George Floyd on the ground, he say dumb shit whenever there’s a camera around / And it’s like he say this shit without no hesitation, his friends need to make sure he taking his medication,” he continues.
“Maybe he ain’t crazy and that’s really how he feel / Lately he keep taking shots at Diddy and Meek Mill / No more Yeezys, no more Balenciaga deals / Banned from Instagram, damn, that n-gga gotta chill / Fuck Donkey of the Day, he Donkey of the Year, bro / Even Pusha T had to cut ties with that weirdo / He did it to himself, I really don’t understand that n-gga / What the fuck would make him go and say he a fan of Hitler? / He confused, Kanye want to be a cracker / That n-gga made T-shirts saying ‘White Lives Matter.'”
Uncle Murda also has harsh words for Gunna, who was recently released from jail after taking a plea deal in the RICO case against his and Young Thug’s YSL (Young Slime Life) collective. Murda joins the chorus of critics accusing him of snitching on Thug to secure his freedom, labeling him the “new 6ix9ine.”
“Young Thug and Gunna got with the RICO, they using rap lyrics against them and that shit is illegal / They let Gunna go, we tryna figure out how that happened / He took a plea deal, Lil Boosie said that n-gga ratting / Gunna pushing pleas, Young Thug still stuck in jail / N-ggas saying Gunna knew names and ‘I’m gonna tell,'” he spits.

“Until we know all the facts we shouldn’t speak on that / If Thug ain’t tell him to take that deal then he a rat / He was on ‘Crime Stoppers’ before looking bad / He the new 6ixine on the ‘Gram, shit is sad / We saw that video of him in court, he a yes man / Is YSL a gang? That n-gga said, ‘Yes ma’am.'”
He adds: “‘Yes ma’am, I know about crimes that they committed, that was Jeffery’s stuff in that car when y’all caught me in it’ / You can plead the Fifth on certain shit but that don’t matter / You got Charleston White calling you his favorite new rapper / You ain’t have to take that deal, my n-gga, free the Slime / You ain’t do shit, you wasn’t facing no real time.”

The G-Unit affiliate has plenty to say about Hip Hop’s other major legal story from 2022: the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion trial, which resulted in Tory being found guilty of shooting Megan in the feet in July 2020.
Murda goes in on Megan for admitting on the witness stand that she lied about her relationship with Tory prior to the shooting and sabotaging the rapper’s apparent efforts to hook up with Kylie Jenner at the fateful party that night.
While stating his belief that Tory was done dirty and a mistrial should have been called, Murda also slams Lanez for his apology phone call to Megan’s former friend and assistant, Kelsey Harris, from jail, which reportedly convinced the jury that he was guilty.
“Tory Lanez and Megan trial was like a soap opera / Still don’t know if Tory Lanez or that girl Kelsey hot her / But we know Megan lied about fucking Tory / And she get drunk like she on ‘Drink Champs’ with N.O.R.E. / And we know her and DaBaby was intimate, it’s embarrassing for her man hearing about who was hitting it,” he raps.

“Imagine when he fucking now, what he be thinking about? On top of that, she got kicked out of Kylie Jenner house / Tory could have fucked Kylie if Megan wasn’t hating / Wonder how Travis Scott feel about that situation / Tory got found guilty, they did him foul / Too many inconsistencies, should have been a mistrial.”
He continues: “As far as DNA being on that gun, his was not / A witness said they saw a female take the first shot / They was all drunk and high, shit just went too far / Megan should have never made Tory get in that car / Now we gotta try to unpack a whole lot of shit / Kelsey could have shot her just like how Remy shot a bitch.
AD LOADING...
“I’m just saying y’all acting like that shit is impossible / I ain’t picking sides, I’m just trying to be logical / Tory Lanez father blaming JAY-Z and Roc Nation / JAY-Z ain’t tell your son to go and shoot Megan / He an independent artist, he make his own decisions / He might get deported after he do his time in prison / He can win the appeal but he need a lot of help / If him or Kelsey ain’t do it then that bitch shot herself.
“Why Tory call that girl from a phone in prison / Knowing they record them calls and was gon’ listen? / He supposed to know better, people was uncertain / Now it’s looking like they convicted the right person.”
