Whut u thank?: Rap Beef Garbage??

I think this beef your referrin to is actually garbage cause rap beef and just beef in itself is two different things. If we look at cats like posterboy (freestyle friday) and just underground cats who battle underground its all about hiphop and skills. They showcase skills and use rap as their weapon in battling. Right now things are way different from the way they used to be cause back in the day people didnt get into physical altercations because of hiphop alone. It would of had to be some other aspect factored in like money or gang related type stuff. If we take a look at two cats like canibus and ll, when they were goin at it hard, they still had respect for each other to the point where they noticed that it was just rap. Thats rap battle. Now lets look at BIG and Pac. It was so many other personal things that was contributed into it. BIG barely battled tupac (he used indirect disses that most don't even recognize). Their dislike each other was based on somethin that was bigger than hiphop. They didn't go up to each other w/ a mic they crews went at each other w/ they fists and more. That just plain beef between two rappers (really way more than just mc's). Beefs like BIG and pac can't be compared to beefs like LL and koolmodee. LL crushed him on the mic so hard that he nearly retired. Pac got at BIG vice versa and that consisted of numerous physical fights between crews, personal conflicts (i.e. pac in studio w/ faith), and ended w/ two cats bein ****. The beefs goin on now is straight trast because their not pure no more. They either got some kinda gangsta or personal street stuff contributed to them which often causes cats to fight (i.e. 50-lil flip), or they just for what I think is publicity, just so somebody can make a name for themselves or make more money, which is what the game is about these days. For those who don't know 50 battlin (when underground) w/ jay-z, I believe that was 50 just tryn to get a bigger name. I personally think jayz and nas was publicity along w/ beanie and the lox, and DMX (beanie sent a diss out to DMX "tommy buns" on one song). The stuff goin on now can't be compared to the old school rap battles at all cause they conflictin (if not publicity) over stuff that got way more to do then music. If hiphop was built on dudes boxin it out and junk over music alone then it surely wouldnt be wear it is now. Just ask the father of hiphop who actually deems hiphop as a religion now: KRS ONE.
