What's Beef? - Notorious B.I.G.


Maybe Thursday should have been nicknamed day of the Ross' BS. Like I mentioned in my earlier post Rick Ross and 50 Cent have this beef going on that has now ventured into their respective circles.
DJ Whoo Kid and Lloyd Banks released a video promoting their new mixtape 4-30-09:Happy Birthday, Vol. 4. In the video DJ Whoo Kid criticized the boss for calling G-Unit 'monkeys':

I ain't no monkey man. Cut it out, man, that's racial. Black on Black racism man, you can't call other Black people monkeys.


Naturally Ross being the parole- I mean Boss that he is, responded back, but this time he took it too far and took the term monkey to one of the more notorious G-Unit affiliates Eminem. Ross posted this video from St. Maarten commenting about his album being #1 and about how he could solve this 'monkey' issue:
You know now they [G-Unit] saying 'monkey' can be black on black racial.The only way I could fix that, Eminem you're a monkey. He's really a honky, but that's racial. You n***as monkeys. The world knows you're monkeys.


*personal sidebar: I love how he is up in St. Maarten, Yeezys in hand, asking to hold $75 G's, but according to his BM-as Lloyd Banks so affectionately called her- Ross isn't paying child support. That still doesn't take away my opinion about Tiallondra's book though. And what does he mean it's not the G-Unit sneaker? It ain't the Rick Ross sneaker either..it's the Air Yeezy please treat it as such.*


Lloyd Banks did NOT take the calling out of Eminem well at all. Banks was interviewed by MTV about the situation and said the following:
As far as calling out Eminem, you're not in the top 10 lyricists nowhere. So just sit down, man. We seen what Em can do. Em's in a whole 'nother lane. How do you go from praising somebody in one interview to calling him a 'monkey' in the next? He's been in out of pocket too many times. We'll see where his future goes. It doesn't look too bright, if you ask me.


Honestly, this is probably one of the lamest rap beefs in the history of the industry; only because of the artists it's between. I have respect for both sides nonetheless. 50 fought dirty when he went and kicked it with Ross' baby mama for an interview but Ross isn't fighting dirty by calling out Eminem, that's just stupid-career suicide if you will. He's cocky because he has 'won' little beefs here or there but c'mon, do you really think Rick Ross could beat Eminem in a rap battle?
