Title: Real Beef vs. Publicity Stunt Beef...
Post by: Scream @ Me on January 21, 2007, 02:14:32 PM
I hear from time-to-time "that beef is fake", its a publicity stunt.. etc..

So, my question is.. which rap beefs to you think are LEGIT...
& which ones do you think are publicity stunts?

Any beefs 50 Cent had with anyone besides Ja Rule and Game are publicity stunts. And any up and coming rapper trying to be known by dissing someone would  be for publicity.

Alot of 'real beefs' are used and turned into 'Publicity Stunt Beef'.

KRS vs. Nelly..

Yes, I know KRS's history.
I know his status in the state of hip-hop.
But.. I HONESTLY think that was a publicity stunt beef on his behalf..

I'm just starting to think ALL beef is Publicity.

Oh yeah forgot about Benzino. What an asshole.

Cam'Ron had some real problems with Jay-Z though for him not paying much attention to Dipset when they were signed to him.

Nelly had a subliminal dissing KRS first. I may be wrong about that though. Thats one beef i didn't bother paying much attention to.

Cam, yeah... I mean, I guess you're right. As far as him havin' a legit beef with Jay. But.. peeps like 40 cal, J.R. Writer.. etc.. they all on that pub stunt. tip.

KRS & Nell? Nah, I think it started with that "#1" song that Nelly made (didn't throw shots; AT ALL).. KRS.. be envious made a song, callin' Nelly out first (to my knowledge)... Ion't know, may be wrong- but.. that's what I've been told / read up on it..

^^No reason? He thought Biggie was responsible for his shooting (at least that's what he claims).

Yeah but he wasn't responsible for the shooting he just gained publicity from being shot and signing to Death Row and he just picked Biggie to diss.

It's all publicity. Controversy sells. Just look at Dubcc. There's a new thread almost everyday about some rapper's beef just before his album release date. We just keep buying into it like fools.

Kris dissed Nelly for that line "i´m tired of cats sayin what´s real hip hop/half the time it be the niggas who fucking albums flops". and Kris spanked the shit outta the lil boy for disrespecting the people that made it possible for Nelly to sell 30 million albums.

Hell for about almost 8-10 years Hip Hop has been stuck on some WWF 1980's shit.
It's gotten so damn corny 98% of these guys cannot be taken serious. hell in order to get a mic you need to at least have 2-3 felonys or claim them or talk about them.

Big Daddy Kane and Rakim wouldnt be allowed to come into now like they did back in the day...LOL
