the fact that Eminem is running from beef...
Since when is not wanting to be a part of beef "running from it"?
means he is not hiphop by definition.....
I love how ignorant dudes just think they have this superior knowledge of hip hop yet make statements while attempting to prove this that prove the exact opposite.
Hip hop has NEVER been about beef.
if you wanna stay on top as a hiphop artist....you HAVE to battle
See, ya already getting shit twisted. Battling and beefing aren't the same things, dogg. Battling is when two guys get on a stage and each one has an alotted amount of time in which they get to flow rhyming cut downs to each other off the top of their head to see which participant has the better flow, better lyrical skills and better overall freestyling skills.
Beefs is when two guys exchange straight out insults and disses (battling is not the same as dissing in my eyes either), usually because at least one of them is mad at the other for some reason.
So remember:
Battles: a lyrical exchange of wits in competition
Beefs: an exchange of disses and insults because you're mad at the other guy.
.....it's like he's looking for a loop hole or something.
Man...people really do look for any excuse to knock people, don't they?
