Jay-Z and Diddy are both hated by a lot of people because there are allegations that they don't treat the artists under them well. I know a lot of people who HATE Jay-Z and he is even rumored to be part of the Illuminati. Diddy is also just as hated (if not more) because he is perceived to be a money hungry dude who preys on the ignorance of his artists.

More than Suge or Diddy? A lot of hip hop fans don't like Eminem's records and think he's a gimmick. Niggas HATE Diddy and Suge

 

[Co_Town_Michael]

Jay-Z recruited me to the Illuminati.

 

[Los216]

Dr. Dre.....guilty by association. Dre has been in or around some of the most controversial figures in hip hop history including....

NWA

2Pac

Eminem

50 Cent

Suge Knight

Snoop

Without Dre we wouldn't even have Eminem, 50, or Snoop for sure and you can make a case that Death Row wouldn't be Death Row without Dr. Dre

Guy had middle class america on his ass
the gay community
the black community
hell a lot of the white community

Maybe not the new Alcoholics Anonymous Eminem but in the early mid 00's.. I would say he's more controversial than suge... diddy arguable because people blame the state of mainstream hip hop on him

Ice Cube.

He went at the Cracka, the white-Jew, the Korean, the pork-chop preacher-man, the KKK, the LAPD, Uncle Sam, the house-Negro, and the devil.

Ice Cube had Khalid Muhammad on his songs and in his videos, he aligned himself with the NOI, and formed the Lench Mob.

He married a Black woman and raised 3 sons and a daughter while making his own record label and movie-production company after shaking a crooked white-Jew.

Ice Cube never lost sight of who the enemy was even when he fell out with NWA.

His entire identity is spitting in the face of white supremacy.

Being hated on is VERY far away from being controversial

[Kame]

Ice Cube a definite candidate as well

 

[Niggas back]

Ya, jay-z, puffy, etc... arent controversial, they're just hearsays....

Now Ice Cube is, his first 3 albums had controversies written all over it, from album names, to songs

 

[DMTxTHC]

Cube is the GOAT, he actually got a letter from the FBI for his song Fuck the Police...My vote goes to Cube, Eminem would be high up there too.

 

[rip.dilla]

KanYe West had TWO Prezzes name dropping

 

[H-Rap 180]

Ice Cube a definite candidate as well

In 1992, as a result of the album's controversy, the state of Oregon declared any display of Ice Cube's image in retail stores throughout the state illegal. This ban also included advertisements for St. Ides Malt Liquor, which Ice Cube endorsed at the time.[22] In the September 2006 issue of FHM, Ice Cube stated in an interview that he did not regret the controversial statements made on the album. Regarding the offense caused to Koreans, he said, "If there's still a problem, it's their problem."[citation needed] Due to fear that laws against racial incitement in the United Kingdom could see the album banned, the United Kingdom release removed the tracks "Black Korea" and "No Vaseline." Island Records, the distributor of this version of the album, deleted these tracks with the consent of Priority Records, but not Ice Cube himself.[15] However, these tracks do feature on this album in the present day.

Federal agents officially asked rap pioneers N.W.A to stop recording after receiving a slew of complaints about their expletive-laden lyrics. In an essay written for Flaunt magazine, group co-founder Arabian Prince reveals he and bandmates Ice Cube and Eazy-E received letters from F.B.I. officials asking them to stop releasing hardcore rap music.

Prince - real name Mik Lezan - recalls, "(They told us) to stop recording such music... Upon our arrival at every airport terminal, we received a visit from the police reminding us not to use profanity onstage in their town, or face going to jail."

But the Straight Outta Compton rap supergroup refused to acknowledge the threat against them - because they felt they were on a free-speech mission.

The rapper writes, "N.W.A is best known for the fight for freedom of speech and expression."
