Rap Beef

What is rap beef? To some, it's a personal vendetta between two rappers who have a different view on a different subject, and to others it's just a friendly rap battle between two rappers. Critics believe that most of the beef is just talk between both rappers to boost the sales of their albums before they release and hit the stores. Some beef really is personally between rappers, thier location of where they from, or misunderstanding of words heard in another rapper's rhymes. A couple of examples of real and fake rap beefs are like the ones between Ja Rule and 50 Cent. That was a personal beef becaue both rappers grew up in the same neighborhood of Southside Jamaica Queens in Queens, New York. Ja Rule hit the scene first and made an impact on the rap scene, while an up and comin rapper who was recently released from prison was ready to put an imprint on the game. Diss records went back and forward from both rappers until 50 cent gained the upper hand and put a silence on rapper Ja Rule and now Ja Rule is no longer revelant in the rap game and 50 Cent is making millions of dollars, movies, has a clothing line, video games, and a book. Another rap beef that was personal was between two legends in 2pac and Biggie Smalls. This beef was so major that the two rappers had both coast on their sides for 2pac he had the west coast and for biggie smalls he had the east coast. The rappers were close friends until the relationship fell apart and then the two became rival rappers. But tragically the legend rappers beef lead to a demise of both rappers been fatally shot on the passenger sides of cars. After two of the best rappers died, rappers have tried to come together and end the violence of rap beef and coming to peace amongst themselves. Rap beef still continues on today but now days they are just trying to prove who is more real between the two artists.
