I was just thinking about this the other day, what has happened to real rap beef?

I can't remember the last time their was real beef between two rappers. Feuds are excellent, what happened to feuds like Jay-Z/Nas or 50 Cent/Ja Rule? The diss songs that come out of these feuds are usually fantastic, Ether by Nas being the greatest rap diss of all time imo.

Nowadays a lot of beef seems to be created just to sell records. Kendrick tried on control but nobody really responded to it, Diddy laughed it off and other rappers just talked about it in interviews.

What do you think?

Maybe they realized that they're coming across as immature morons and decided to act like adults for a change?

Maybe, but I find music without "feuds" just as if not more entertaining. It's not like Elvis Presley or The Beatles needed a feud to sell more records than these people ever will.

Nas and Jay-Z didn't need the feud to sell more records either, they did it out of genuine dislike for each other. That's what I want to see more of nowadays, none of these fake feuds to sell more records.

Well seeing as I generally dislike almost all of these guys, maybe I should become a rapper and diss them all? Would you buy my single on iTunes?

If you grew a very big beard you might look like Action Bronson so yes.

I'd rather look like Charles Bronson, or at least be as tough as him. Anyway, I called Drake yesterday and he's going to be appearing on my first release so now I know you'll be buying it!

Sorry the feuds in rap were stupid. Honestly o don't give a shit who you have a beef with, let alone if you have $20 in your pocket and if you only have drug money
