Question

Two or more grown azz men with millions in the bank constantly insulting each other in songs and for what? Ratings?

Answer 7

Depends

Jay Z vs Nas = entertaining beef

or Eminem and Biggie= Would love to see them

to Rip each other lyrically. not gonna happen though.

now

Ice T & Soulja Boy= Lame and a waste of time.

Eminem & Ja Rule= lame.

Answer 8

Sell...cause it makes people buy...

Answer 9

Yeaa.. for ratings.

The fact is that most aren't ghetto or hard like they say.

So they just talk and don't act

Answer 10

Well.................both really.

Battling beef and hated beef are two different things.

Battling is hip-hop. Krs-One vs. MC Shan, Jay-Z vs. Nas and let's not forget the pioneers before rap hit vinyl, 8 Mile and all that. That's part of the art.

Hated beef in hip-hop is never needed. The beef between 2pac and Biggie for a main example which fueled a coastal war. Once good friends turned enemies and it was beyond battle dissing. God bless them both but that type of beef and any type of beef that violence is involved is intolerable.

The beef makes them money in sales. You never want to stop making money. You can never have too much of it (in my eyes).

Answer 11

He's an example about beef that;s not over ratings. GZA made diss track on 50 cent because 50 has no lyrical content. Which I'm sure you cna all agree with. Plus they don't have time to fist it out.. Remember rap is a way to explress yourself and that's how some do it.

Some are stupid like Ice T and Soulja Boy. Now I don;t like Soulja but the kids 18, he's young so even tho he's really bad no one should be startin beef with him, the kids barely a legal adult.

Answer 12

Sell.  It's what hip hop was built on.  Before the millions.  Check the history. It's entertainment.

Answer 13

IT's kinda pointless, according to the song Beef by Mos Def, and according to a few listeners. But it would have been cool to see some beef rap wrestling, KRS- ONe and Nelly throwing hooks or som'n like that.

Answer 14

sell i do agree that sometimes it is pathetic but  a lot of it is very interesting and rhh is a form of expression and is a controversial form of music
