...::::What Beef?::::...

So im having a conversation with a friend last night about who the greatest rapper alive is. Of course i said Jay-Z (I have over 50 songs on my ipod by him) because who else is? Well this man had the nerve to say 50 CENT!, and he continued to say that 50 cent would and i quote "Destroy Hov on any given day"(talk about smoking crack man). So then after that im hearing that there is a diss song out against Jay-Z "I Ain't Ya Average Cat" made by Beanie Sigal.

Supposedly the beef between the two former label mates was because Sigal had strong feelings about the way his success was being managed by his former boss. According to Ballerstatus.com Sigal explains his feelings about Jay saying:

"This ain't about a dollar, this ain't about me hating on you, or anything. Cuz, I never asked you for a dollar," Beanie Sigel said. "When I came home from jail ... you ain't come one day to see me. Not one picture, or a letter. I went to the office and asked you: 'Let me off Roc-A-Fella Records, out that situation, because somebody -- no name, no blame -- wanted me and wanted to give me some real money.' You bounced that tennis ball around in your office for an hour, and went back-n-forth with me and told me you wasn't gonna let me go.
"You was in the position to let me make my own money, and you couldn't do that," he continued.

As a follow up, Jay-Z was interviewed as well, and his side of the story was that Sigal felt as if the Roc team members weren't given many opportunites to be as successful as they couldve been. Jay-Z explained that Sigal was given more than enough time to push his fame to this limit saying:

"Beanie Sigel, at the time -- and you can look it up, if you like, let's just be honest -- was driving two Bentleys," Jay told reporters. "I don't know how. It's impossible to drive two cars at one time ... with his momma in the sticks and selling 800,000 records. I don't know what more you can do for somebody.
"What people choose to do when they attain that type of success ... at some point, you gotta look in the mirror and look at yourself. Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label, and a clothing line. Never went platinum, ever. I don't know in the history of rap, is anyone done so much with so little," he continued.

So the bottom line is that now Sigal is signed to G-Unit records (sigh*), and now 50 is creating a mixtape that is supposedly targeted toward Hov. Is he crazy?

My question is: What the hell did 50 have to do with all of this? The beef is absolutely ridiculous and i dont understand why 50 would put himself in a situation that is bound for him to fail. Jay-z could recycle "Take Over" and still demolish 50.

But hey, to each his own

Look for 50's mixtape on Novemeber 23rd and you be the judge.

Good luck guys

Thanks to my good friend allen at Ballerstatus.com for the scoop
