HI,

There as been alot of beef scenerios in the music industry, some innclude: 2Pac Vs Notorious Big, Nas Vs Jay-z, Nelly Vs Krs One, Dmx Vs Ja Rule, 50 Cents Vs The Game, Lil Kim Vs Foxy Brown(the ladies are not left out), Rugged man Vs Eedris Abdulkareem (over Nigeria Artiste self dey show colour) e.t.c the list goes on and on.

But what comes to my mind is that this beef thingy is just a commercial stunt to raise awareness and sell records.
Jay-z Vs Nas Came back after the "beef show" and did concerts together, Krs One Vs Nas, Krs one doesn't know Nelly(but because of the beef Thang, Nelly sold over 2 Million copies of his album).

Need i say more? The final verdict is that BEEF is not REAL. The only bad case was that 2Pac and Notorious BIG were victim of circumstances to have passed on while their beef stunt was on ( for your information they did a track together!!)

Sometimes me thinks it's abt d sales n errything, but it can also b serious. e.g d beef between Cannibal n LL Cool J..their's started because of LL's Tattoo(d mike) around his arm. this topic reminds me of the Beef's series on BET. did anyone see it? I would say it's about 75% real, dem playas need to watch their mouf(e.g 50).

An article from the web on this topic:
The hip-hop world is at war. Vicious rhymes are flying between 50 Cent and Ja Rule, both products of the mean streets of southeast Queens. Bullets are flying, too—50 was famously shot nine times—though no one can prove who’s shooting. All this violence has helped to sell records. But when is the price too high?

The last five years have been the battle era of hip-hop. Of course beef has always beef has historically been a watermark of our music, but the last half decade has seen it go to new heights (or lows, depending on your frame of reference).

Those beef sh!ts can never go down. Ja and Fiddy's beef started because of the kind of jealous fellow we have in 50.

NOW!!!, That’s what am Talking about, some real Topic…. Thank U Bigtee...

Hip-hop Biffs… is both a stunt to sale records and also real in some cases… (Pac and big).

Hip-hop , originated from the streets, and thus is based on street culture, In the early days what they had was street battle, rappers trying to diss (disrespect) each other and show who’s game was tight, but that’s just plain and simple battle.. it never got to the point of pulling out their nines!.

Eazy E and Dr Dre.. had their little thang back then, but that was just for record sales, even if it looked kinda real.

But then game, got tough…..Gangster rap, gangs (creeps and blood)… The scene changed people wanted to live their lyrics, so that others wont call them studios gangsters, and thus the stake got higher, cus if you say on your tracks, that you are a killer then you have to prove that its not bugs and little stuff you kill, you can leave somebody lying cold on the street walk .

The biff is real and if not checked, will be Hip-hop greatest challenge yet ever. They best way to take out any creature is to kill its ability to reproduce it self, and gangster rap and Hip hop beef helps the black communities in the inner cities to achieve this. Hip-hop has out lived all critics since its inception in the mid/late70s, and it’s grown like wild fire, world wide… form Africa to Asia and The EU nations, with different shades and style to suit local people.

I can’t say I know what took, the live of JMJ , of the legends RUNDMC, but if I am allowed to guess, I would say it’s the whole Hip-hop thang…

So Our concern should be, lets not copy the bad part of this culture, Hip-hop is a wonderful and undying Art form and I believe Nigeria is the Next stop after the US,
So Young Bloods, let our record industry, records executives and Artist especially Hip-hop artist, Live and learn. PEACE!

Artist are are fighting either over public money, copyrights infringement, or some socially mudane things.no doubt, beef between hip-hop artist is merely gimmicks to raise record sales. no one mentioned eminem and his "use to be" arc enemy Benzino. they reconciled after realising they were being used as camels while the record company sit back and made cool money off them. check the story out on

but i still cant find definition for naija's hip hop scenario. there own is on a whole different level

i still wonder what biglo and 2short are fighting over it dont make sense to me


anyway 50 cent seems to always be fighting with someone and he just finished an abulm called "He aint rich he is still lieing" beefing game after game realsed a track beefing gunit where he called them g-unut

it is pure stunts. those guys just want to be in the news any how. but some really v some real beef like jayz and rkelly

yeah!! but i really think the artist most times are Just victims of the Record Company's stunts. i think and really believe the Labels have a way of Engineering these beefs without the Artist them selves knowing they are being Remote controlled to beef each other while the companies sit back to feed on the returns the beef will generate. and the amazing thing is that the beefs most times usually emerge from very very Lame issues, but end up flying. i think most of those artist need to be schooled a little. but what the Heck? it's always been their way. The other Name for Hip-Hop is Beef!!
