You dont understand what Im sayin at all, brah. None of y'all do to be honest. Listen. I know you gotta back at a nigga for disrespectin you - of course, thats before elementary; why tha fuck do you even think you should even try to school me on that? I already know that shit. Save that lil lesson for some knucklehead.
And yeah, so 50's been talkin shit about Joe & Jada for months regardless whatever the reason, but it aint like 50's been sending muthafuckas to shoot them or beat em up or making threats to do somethin to them.
Now, Jada got at 50 pretty good. But Fat Joe went all out talkin about if 50 responds back to him, then he's gonna acutally do something to him and his kid. And tha thing about that is that he makes himself sound so serious about it (like in the KaySlay interview). And y'all are givin all of these lil ass excuses and makin it sound like talkin about killing somebody's kid is a part of hiphop or something. If thats how y'all feel, yall some sad muthafuckas.
I'm not a sad muthafucka cuz it's part of hip-hop -- HIP HOP IS THE SAD MUTHAFUCKA. Love it or hate it, this IS hip-hop culture. These ARE rappers (yeah, I agree, some of them are the most unprofessional people in society, but society's fucked up anyway). And it's not starting now -- Pac died in '96...Biggie died 6 months later. Big L died, JMJ died, Camouflage died, Mossberg died, 50's been stabbed and shot. This isn't happening to Denzel Washington, Lindsey Lohan, Omarion, or Ashlee Simpson. Hip-hop is real (well, a lot of it). In every other entertainment industry, life imitates art. In hip-hop, art imitates life. That's a huge part of its appeal.
50's not dissing Joe cuz Joe is bad at checkers or Connect Four. He's disrespecting Joe's talents, his click, and all of what Joe stands for. 50 thinks that Joe shouldn't work w/Ja if he doesn't want it from him. 50's even dissed Samuel Jackson for not wanting to work with him. Instead of just respecting Jackson's decision, he attacks the man -- and that's the same thing he's doing with Joe and Jada.
These dudes are from the streets. Yeah, I've still got some of that bulldog in me as I'm gradually adjusting to the professional world. And still, if someone comes at me for whatever reason, that bulldog instantly comes out. It's the same thing here. 50's going after people who have roots in the street, and you don't attack someone's life, loves, and decisions unless you expect to be treated the same way. But in terms of hip-hop -- the violence isn't going to stop.
Remember when Ja went "pop"? Y'all hated on him for that. Why, cuz he wasn't startin beef or talkin about violence but rather just makin money and havin fun? That's hip-hop, man. There used to be a distinction between hip-hop and rap, but it's pretty much coalesced into one category. Hip-hop's appeal comes from many elements, and one of these is its realness: art imitates life. Yeah man, in many other professions/industries, talkin about killin someone's family is out of the question. But in hip-hop, that's part of its appeal. These dudes aren't holding back because of the business of music. For these guys, this is life.
