Whats Beef????

I love hip hop, it is a part of my everyday life. I use music period as the soundtrack to my life the same as in a movie, yet hip hop is at the head of this deal. I don't go out on the field on Sundays without either listening to 2Pac, " Ambitzions As a Rider" or Freeway, " What We Do". Like this is how I pump myself up.(pause) I know that RAP beef is a part of hip hop, and it is healthy and good for the game. You gotta be able to say yo I'm better than you and I'll prove through these bars. Nas vs Jay-Z for example was great for hip hop, and the end result was even better cause they were able to squash the beef(not rivalry, rivalry is good keeps you sharp) and work together on a few projects. Recently Bow Wow and Soulja Boy put out diss records vs each other with sharp swords and harsh words. I admit I listened to both songs and was like wow the gloves are off. Then like grown men not the young men they are the beef was deaded. Just like that... They sat down and came to a mutual understanding and moved forward. Wow. It begs me to think at 25(Pac) and 23(Big) could not do the same thing. No diss to the two younger hip hoppers but their bodies of work will never measure up to the two legends demos. Yet they will have longevity because they were able to let cooler heads prevail. The "New Nigga" will have to take a cue from the two rug rats of rap. Its to much money out here to let rap beef end your career or life.
