It's because most new hip-hop fans, that are teenagers, have never heard a rapper really diss anyone else before on a mainstream level, so it's this big, new, amazing thingto a lot of today's audience.If you work out the numbers...if you're a 16 year old hip-hop fan right now, who was born in 1997:--You would have been 8 years old when Game and 50 were beefing.And that was the last really big major mainstream beef I can think of...--You would have been 4 years old when Nas ethered Jay-Z.--You would have been a 1 year old when Canibus dissed LL.--You would have been born a year AFTER 2Pac dissed Biggie.--When Dre and Eazy were making diss records, you would not be born until 5 years later.So kids into Kendrick and all these new guys are like, "whoooa, someone DISSED someone, that's insane!!"To everyone else though, especially any older hip-hop fans, it seems like the tamest thing ever.
That's the shit that's been missing. This is tame compared to past beefs, but it shakes up the game and gets people in the booth.

But it's like the night Kobe scored 61 at the Garden. It don't matter it's over hype. When you call out New York, they take it personal. New York has an attitude that it don't mean shit unless it happens in New York. Like when players are stars, New Yorkers will say, "they ain't done shit at the Garden. Well this is Kendrick Lamar going to Madison Square Garden, scoring 61 points and then saying, I'm the King of this place. UCLA in the 90's beat all 3 big Texas teams (at the time) in one year, Texas, A&M and Houston. At the end of the season UCLA had UCLA, Texas station champion shirts. That's what this was.
