Man, I definitely didn’t see this one coming. Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z are beefing. I’m taking this one kinda personal. This is my favorite rapper and another one that I really really like. These dudes was supposed to be like brothers back in the day, but it seems like the good times are over. Kinda like when James Evans died. To me it seems like Jay just flaked out on Beans. When Sigel he was going through his trial a few years ago, Jay was busy being president at Def Jam and Dame was at every court date, and Beans still rode with Hov after that. That’s the kind of loyalty one would only expect from Memphis Bleek. Apparently Sigel got fed up with Jay hanging out with Oprah and Coldplay and called him out. Jay forgot about the people he came up with. And this ain’t the first time it’s happened. Look at Jaz-O, Foxy Brown, Dame and Biggs, and now Beans. With Jay it’s like very few people are actually considered friends of his, and if you can’t help him make money then he really has no need for you. He just better not do anything wrong to Beyonce, or me and him are gonna have serious problems. But this made me look at Jay in a different light. It’s not easy seeing somebody that you look at as the best to ever do it as somebody who is constantly doing some not-so-cool shit to the people that are supposedly closest to him. Then again, my favorite ball player of all time is Michael Jordan and we all know how much of an asshole he is from his hall of fame speech (which I loved by the way). So it just so happens that my favorite rapper is an asshole, as well as my favorite athlete, and one of my favorite shows is based on the main character being an asshole: Martin. What exactly does that say about me?
Anyway, Beans released a song today going in at Jay. It ain’t no “Ether”, but still it’s sort of surreal for anybody who was a huge fan of the The Rocafella Family. So now the question is: What will Hov have to say about this one? I was ok with Jay not responding to the Game when he tried to start beef. We all know how much Game has been baiting Jay since he started rapping, but when you mention somebody’s name in 83% of your songs saying how great he is it’s kinda hard to take you seriously when you say you don’t like him. Besides, it was basically a lose-lose situation for Jay-Z. Really no benefit to battle with Game, or Jim Jones. We all know Game is an ex-stripper, with a butterfly tattoo, who got rejected on national TV on a dating show. The material was too easy. But Beans is cut from a different cloth. The majority of the rap world and its fans respect him. He’s pretty gutta. You know how grimy them Philly dudes are. So for Jay to just lay back and let this one ride…he would seem like a bit of a pussy. Personally I’m waiting for another “Takeover.” We all saw how Mob Deep’s career went after that joint dropped. Then again, with these two being close for so long, I don’t think Jay is gonna go that route. It’ll probably be handled “in house” behind the scenes. Besides, Beans is a little too grimy even for the dude from Marcy. I’d hate to see Jay take a haymaker and fall to the canvas. Who knows? This could all be backlash from the World Series. Beans is from Philly, Jay is from NY and is a big Yankee fan. So in a week or so this will probably all blow over…or we could have the best rap battle since Jay and Nas were going at it. Either way, I’m looking forward to see how this one is gonna play out.

As Real As It Gets
I thought that professional weed carriers like Spliff Star , Tony Yayo, and Memphis Bleek were supposed to be the ones to take the fall when their boss/famous rapper caught a charge. In the past week, we’ve come to learn that both Lil B-O-O-S-I-E and Lil Wayne are both going to be serving time pretty soon. I’m not trying to say that they shouldn’t go to jail, but I can’t help but think they actually WANT to go to jail to boost their image as somebody who is hard. We already know Weezy F. Baby was hard. I mean, he actually got shot in the mean streets of the N.O. It should probably also be noted that he shot himself, but it takes a cold blooded man to turn a gun on himself…or is that a dumb ass man? I get confused sometimes. Wayne was actually Plaxico before Plaxico “Plaxicoed” himself. I guess the state of Louisiana figures being dumb enough to shoot yourself is punishment enough rather than sending him to the pokey.
Unlike Wayne, Boosie probably would have had to do some time regardless since he was stupid enough to post videos on youtube, which were then posted on worldstarhiphop.com showing him flashing guns and other weaponry. Just from looking at Boosie for 3 seconds, I could guarantee that not a single one of those guns were registered, and that they averaged at least 2.3 bodies on each of them.
Weezy’s case is a little cloudier though. Apparently the gun found on his tour bus was registered to a friend of his who was also on the same bus when the cops busted it. However, the cops said they found Wayne’s DNA on the gun. I’m curious to know what kind of DNA they could’ve possibly found besides fingerprints. What in the hell was he doing to that poor pistol? I’m fairly certain you won’t go to jail for having fingerprints on a registered gun, but I could be wrong. Especially with the gun laws they got up in New York. The point is if his lawyer’s could have proven that the gun was registered to somebody else who was traveling with him on tour, then he would’ve beaten the case in a trial. Instead, he plead out and is about to go up north for about 8 months.
In the case of both of these guys, it just seems like with the declining sales climate in music, they need all the help they can get. We all saw how big Pac blew up after he got out of jail. TI is still putting out videos every other week. Damn near every hip hop head was going crazy waiting for Shyne to get out until the people over at immigration said “Fuck that. Get this nigga out of our country!” The point is, both of these rappers can benefit from doing a bid. Boosie will just solidify the fact that he always has been and always will be one of the realest in the game. Whenever he gets out, him and Webbie can go back to spelling out words in their songs and educating the youth. And for Wayne, well besides the fact that everybody is tired of the shitty music that he’s put out lately, he just proved that he’s hard enough to take some time. Another benefit for him is that he’ll be able to kiss all the men that he wants to, I just hope Baby doesn’t get too jealous. I’m willing to bet that when Wayne comes out of the joint he’ll be rapping back the way he used to...good.
This kinda made me think: with T-Pains recent mock funeral, Kanye going to hide in a hole (Amber Rose) for the next month or so and Wayne going away for a while, are we witnessing the death of autotune? Somebody should kill Ron Browz just to make sure.
I’m out.

Pause!
The whole “no homo” craze caught on after Lil Wayne started saying it on those mixtapes he used to drop once a week. I guess the fact that he admittedly kisses another man, who he calls “daddy,” and wears skinny jeans, he probably needs to over-persuade everyone that he is in fact not a homo. Not to say that people who wear skinny jeans are more prone to be homosexual…I’m just saying. And then the whole “no homo” saying got real old real quick. It got to the point where people couldn’t even have a conversation with their boys without a “pause/no homo” being said every six seconds. Now I will admit, I’ve had to hit the pause button on more than a few occasions just to provide some humor to the conversation and to keep the masculinity in line. But, nowadays I no longer feel the need to say pause unless there is some seriously suspect, borderline things going on. Well to you, Mr. Tyson Beckford, I say PAUSE!
Now for those who haven’t heard, model Tyson Beckford was asked on a radio show that if he had to go gay for one man, who that man would be. Now before we go any further, let it be known that this guy has been repeatedly accused of being gay for a number of years. See, I’m a well known hater of the Los Angeles Lakers, and if somebody is constantly accusing me of being a Laker fan, I’m not going to show up in public wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey to dispel those rumors. The point I’m trying to make is that if someone who constantly has their sexuality questioned is asked a question like “which person of the same sex would you want to sleep with?” the proper response should be something along the lines of “I’m not gay, so I can’t answer that.” I’m comfortable enough with my manhood and my sexuality to say that another man can be good looking. But this Tyson has to be THEE most comfortable person with his sexuality ever…or the most confused. When asked the infamous question at hand, Tyson responded that he would not only like to bang our president Barack Obama, but even went into detail by saying he would make Obama the bottom. Oh yeah, and that Michelle Obama would hold the camera to record all of this. I don’t remember anybody asking him that if he were to have sex with a man, who he wanted to record the incident and who would be in what position. This suggests to me that the interview was not the first time that Tyson has fantasized about making President Obama his bottom bitch. I bet you probably thought that it couldn’t get any worse, right? But in his complete comfort, Tyson also went on to say that he would like to give it to Will Smith as well. So not only does he want to sodomize our president, but he also wants to make it an orgy with one of the biggest stars in Hollywood. Well, I guess at least he has high standards. I mean if you’re gonna be gay, don’t just settle for the choir director at the church down the street.
Please know that I don’t care if the man is gay or not, and I have nothing against homosexuals. I’ve hung out with gay people on occasions before. The problem I have is that if you’re going to live a certain lifestyle, just do you. I know that typically in the black community, homosexuality is viewed as something similar to being a leper. Tyson is supposed to be a pioneer as far as black male models go, so what really bothers me is that he uses this platform to bring more sideshow attention to President Obama, when the pres already has enough critics saying he is too distracted, by suggesting that he wants to make the president his boy toy. There’s enough Republicans out there trying to fuck Obama as it is, Tyson, so fall back for another 4 or 8 years. I would like to “pause” Tyson Beckford on this one, but that phrase is supposed to be reserved in reference to heterosexuals who say things that can be twisted into a homosexual nature. This guy on the other hand should no longer have is sexuality questioned…because he just gave us the answer.
