about a week ago i had that oppurtunity to check out Beef.....a documentary style look into some of the most talked about hip hop beefs from Kool Moe Dee/Busy Bee on down to the more recent 50cent/Ja Rule sqabble. this is probably one of the best looks at hip hop beefs ever done. i was really surprised at how this film didn't focus much on the ever so popular Tupac/Biggie--East/West deal. kind of refreshing to not have to sit through yet another look at pac and big's death. i'm tired of seeing these mc's names being marketed and slandared. let em rest in peace please!
the point of all this:
coming across recent interveiws and articles about 50 and Ja., supposedly Minister Farrakhan reached out to both artists in hopes of getting both together to sqash the alleged beef. "As far as me meeting with Farrakhan...it's not happening," 50 told Washington D.C.'s 93.9 WKYS. "I respect [Farrakhan] and all that but it ain't going down. Ja put himself in the position he's in and he's doing whatever he can for publicity."
now i don't know about you but to me this screams bloody publicity stunt. especially with the release of Ja's new album, Blood in My Eye, set to release tomorrow. funny isn't it! what's even more hilarious is the fact that 50 declined to meet. here is where the shit gets ill for me....in no way am i supporting any kind of beef between these 2 gentlemen mainly because we've already seen this shit get violent. there's only a few other things that could happen at this point.
initally i took this beef as a joke.. i thought maybe this was some kind of lovers quarrel or something. lol! im so serious. everything about this screams a scorn lover. call it what you like but i just call it like i see it. anyway Ja's interveiw with Farrakhan is supposed to air tonight on MTV @ 7 p.m. ET and on MTV2 at 11 p.m.
ET.
is it me or am i the only who finds ja rule to be a complete ass itch! don't get me wrong 50 irks me about the same. but what i come to respect about 50, is his mind. and how it works in the game of hip hop. in order to survive the industry he knew what it took and who to make his shit pop. you gotta love that. plus his strategy at targeting the top 10 mc's with his lyrics. gotta respect that too... if i come out and say some shit bout Jay-Z and get his attention-that lets me know im doing something right. plus everyone recognizes you-thus your famous! in that sense i have come to respect the man and his strategies.
who's checking for this shizzle?
