Is “Beef” the hottest commodity in Hip Hop right now? It seems to be this way, as many artists have chosen to take the current climate of Hip Hop and use it to as a battleground! As always, we got laughs for you, so tune in and join the conversation!
This week has us in a state of “Euphoria”. I wonder why? Is there something other than clever wordplay in the air? I think today its only right we bring it to circle for discussion. The biggest question of the night being one thing only:
WHO IS WINNING, WHY, AND BY HOW MUCH?
Some are saying this Hip Hop resembles the Hip Hop that inspired what would become some of the most iconic disses in its history. Tracks such as Ice Cube’s “No Vaseline” , Biggie Small’s “Who Shot Ya?” and 2Pac’s “Hit Em Up” have set a tone when it comes to “swinging” in these Heavyweight Events! Tune in tonight as we give the artists our Card Reviews!

Looks like “beefing” has once again ignited the competition in HipHop. The latest to take advantage of this trend is is the collection known as “The Big 3”, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J Cole. But they aren’t the only ones…

Direct or Indirect? That is the question….
So what qualifies an artist the right to initiate a “beef”? Certainly just being mentioned in someone’s lyrics, directly or indirectly, can’t immediately pull you into the world of rude, often very disrespectful, lyrical displays of humiliation, or can it?
When it comes to the disrespect, there are levels. Ultimately, I believe whichever artists is willing to swing the lowest is the victor. Dissing comes in many forms. Some artists feel if the track doesn’t specifically mention a name, then it’s just hot air. Others apply ingenuity in their approach, using clever metaphors and similes to vividly immerse the listener into the vocal assassinations.
Beef = $$$?
Either way, one thing cannot be denied: it grabs the attention of music listeners everywhere. It appears to be a catalyst of conversations everywhere, with fans debating the technical details of each “response”, who won, and why the winner deserves the crown.
Historically, even in HipHop’s young age, there have been times that beefs have gone violent. Not that human beings need additional reasons to commit atrocities to each other, there have been instances where some have lost their lives due to perceived sneak disses, sensitive reveals of confidential information, and at times, just repeating lyrics and not knowing the meaning behind them.
Thankfully there are other beefs that have been resolved after some time. Once squashed, most fans would agree the result of the initial misunderstanding itself, was some amazing music. At times, some fans were introduced to artists due to fact their favorite artist was dissing the other person, or vice versa. I actually started to listening to Gucci Mane back in the day due to the beef he had with Young Jeezy.
In the comments, let us know what your favorite diss record or records and who was the beef between. Also let us know your favorite line from the track!
