New Beef/Old Beef

November 30th, 2010

Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex recently dropped a bomb on his own image by committing one of the cardinal sins of Hip Hop: dissing Tupac.

Flex claimed that too many people were ‘sucking’ up to the whole Tupac legend, or in his own words ”F*ck n*ggas sucking Tupac’s d*ck!”. Yep, Flex pretty much ethered himself right there.

The fallout of this whole rather silly situation was rather worrying for Flex. Not only has he lost a lot of support globally but he has also left himself open to verbal attacks. Luckily for Flex, The Outlawz are the only group that seem to care enough to respond, with their new track ‘Warning Shots’. I would post it apart from the fact that it’s atrociously bad, sorry.

Given Hip Hop’s affinity for mindless squabbling, the worst-case scenario from this little episode would have been a re-opening of the notoriously big feud between the left and right coasts. Bay Area rapper Mistah FAB has bigger problems on his mind though. Forget Tupac’s murder, someone killed Hyphy and he’s being blamed! Droop-E‘s on the beat of this introspective monster.

November 28th, 2010

So the story goes that before  the ‘Joy’ beat got picked up off Pete Rock by Mr West for a huge dollar, a few others got to try their voices over the top…including Strong Arm Steady, and this from first lady of Flipmode, Rah Digga.
