Enough Beef... V2


Could you imagine hip-hop without any feuds? Now-a-days rappers are verbally attacking each other like it was about to go out of style. As a result, I'm going to post some beef diss tracks and explain them further for y'all.

Fat Joe VS. 50 Cent - In 2004 Ja Rule released "New York" featuring Jadakiss and Fat Joe. The song subliminally dissed 50 Cent which led him to retaliate with his song "Piggy Bank", which dissed Ja, Joe and Jadakiss along with Shyne. I am in fact kind of amazed that 50 responded so harshly to this, talk about being a real shit disturber. The release of Piggy Bank led Fat Joe to respond with his track called "My Fofo", which down right attacks 50 Cent, no filler. In the song Piggy Bank 50 attacks his targets with multiple violent threats and also says "Got a hundred guns a hundred clips, why I don't hear no shots, that fat n*gga thought Lean Back was in the clubs, my shit sold 11 mil, his shit was a dud. Jada don't fuck with me if you wanna eat, because I'll do your little ass like Jay did Mobb Deep." That's basically as direct as it gets. Check out the tracks for yourself, its not hard to assess what is going on. The dissing gets more malicious as time goes on.

T.I. - I'm Talking to You - Produced by Just Blaze, easily one of the best T.I. songs that actually display super-sick flow. During this time T.I. and Ludacris were beefin', but I'll get into that later. T.I. specifically mentions rappers that he is not dissing. "I ain't talking to Jigga because thats my n*gga the real president Carter", which seems like a blatant Lil' Wayne diss (Wayne's last name is Carter). He also says "In the video wearing a white tee that don't make you no dope dealer", which could apply to Rick Ross, Wayne, and Lil' Flip, who all rock white tee's in videos and the fact that Rick Ross is a self proclaimed massive drug dealer... sure. Listen to the track for yourself and you'll know what I mean - Wayne, Flip and Rick Ross do not get name dropped on T.I.'s "cool" list. As for the Ludacris dispute, check out Young Buck's song titled "Stomp" where T.I. and Ludacris diss each other during their parts. As a result this version was canned from the album and T.I. was replaced with the Game on the album version.

That's all for now. I need to get back to some school work. More to come in time.
