why doesn't beef pop off anymore?

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

i don't want anybody to get shot, but high profile beef on record is some of the most entertaining rap, and something unique to the genre. it's missing now and it's all that faggot camel's fault.

drake buddy, you need to ether kendrick, lil jabs are not gonna do. how many dudes are gonna jump on you before you step up? yesterday at the pusha t concert (in toronto) he performed the drake dis track (you signed to one nigga that signed to another nigga..) and two girls near me left crying. THAT SHIT IS HIP HOP. my boy drizzy is a superstar triple threat and all but you don't have the respect of male hip hop fans.

i mean i get why jay doesn't do it. beef is an uncontrollable situation and you can lead the league in six statistical categories might just get ethered by some dude who's fallen off. yeah so now you're comfy and you can wait a year or two and throw a subliminal somewhere on your album (i think dig a hole is the only one he's done since). but getting comfy is bad for music. i see medium to big rappers throwing rocks at the throne now cause they're soft. i say bust out the guillotine.

I think it's because when rappers get angry, it's now become easier for them to go on Twitter than to go into the studio.

[Mindbender Futurama]

because Biggie and Tupac's murders are still unsolved

because 50 Cent cooked beef with everyone and destroyed himself in the process

because Nas and Jay-Z proved that it's fucking lame to beef forever, and manning up to apologize is more lucrative and logical in the long run

because the ghetto has evolved to realizing our ACTUAL enemies aren't each other, but the police and the prison system and politicians

because most rappers these days are fake fucks and don't even have the integrity to articulate a clear response to an issue so they do it subliminally

because etc.

[hustler]

the rap game is fucked up. everybody is soft as fuck now. look at the dudes at the top. a white hipster who preaches faggot acceptance. a canadian jew actor who happens to rap. a drama queen whose sole objective in life is appearing on TMZ every fucking day. this is why the EDM scene is blowing up. hip hop has been whack for awhile now.

Word. The game needs kendrick lamar to pm dawn drake at his next show. On some real hip hop shit.

we can "joke" on the intenrnet... but when it's someone in the real world, it's never, ever funny.

hip hop is much better now that people are getting shot less. i really do enjoy that development over the last decade of death.

sure the music has suffered, but it's a small price to pay for less black, latino and poor folks becoming murder statistics.

this was one of hip hop's lowest moments, actually.

It's just in a lull. The Wale/BOB/Big Sean etc generation softened up the mainstream to disgusting levels. These young bucks with little to lose will make this shit fun and exciting again.

[B. Ware tha Siniq]

Twitter is definitely the #1 reason.

[The Afronaut]

Why is Kendrick dissing Drake?

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

to try to bring some life back to this shit like blast says. control was a big move & no one can claim be be top of the new generation without addressing it. drake has apparently responded (honestly i listened and i didn't catch anything specific to kendrick).

problem with control is he didn't go at the big boys. jay isn't on your label. he isn't on your album. maybe there's love there but to me it seems kdot doesn't wanna take shots at legends. but when legends are 40 year old corn balls that put out boring music (u not safe nas) somebody has to forcibly retire them.

[Philaflava]

beef still pops its just nobody good popping it.

new guy vs. legend beef pretty much went extinct after the LL/Canibus debacle. I still site that as sea change in how beef of that kind worked up to that point.

[Thun]

It does. Battle rap.

[Piff Tannen]

maybe all these dudes realize they can get more money not beefing than they can beefing? access to each other's fan bases and shit, etc.

but also maybe theres no reason for it? what does it look like to beef with some dude you prolly never even met before?

niggas aint wanna force it

[christian from austin]

gonna be real disappointed if chief keef or one of the migos doesnt get shot

[Dids]

I remain flabbergasted people think Control should be taken as a diss track.

it's a pg13 version of takeover. telling the new gen "it's my block now alright kid?"


^it's a good point afronaut makes about asymmetric beef. noone wants to get blackballed by jigga (nh). but you got lil wayne threatening to kidnap b cause he think's he's big enough to pull it off. the real problem is jigga mayne still breathes funny from the ether so he's too shook to do a full blown response. but you still got dudes like killer mike, beanie sigel clowning the camel cause what do they have to lose? and he won't even respond to them for fear of blowing up the situation.

the excitement from AAA grade beef is who's asserting themself at the top of the game. no one cares who's top of the KOTD game.

Kick in Mrs. Coleman's door, and knock Lil Jojo's urn on the floor.

Takeover was like directly insulting towards Nas and others. Control feels more like granting people some respect by saying "I aim to be on the same level you are". Interpreting it as insult seems like some seriously defensive, oversensitive nonsense.

it is a diss

it's a diss in the same way that teenage kids calling each other faggot online is cyber bullying

agressive shit talking blown out of proportion by observers with over-excitable imaginations
