“Well Done…” – Beef IV

Beef can get pretty boring with hip hop’s WWE mentality. Him vs. Him. Them vs. Them. It can all become annoying. That’s one of the reasons I never purchased nor watched the Beef series DVDs. After some persuasion from a few fans of the series, I decided to give the most recent one a try. And I must admit I wasn’t disappointed. Personally, some beefs can be comical, i.e. Lil Bow Wow vs. Lil Romeo or Trina vs. Jacki-O vs. Khia, while there are others that I am interested in, Ras Kass vs. The Game.
Beef 4 caught my attention immediately. The first segment was on Houston, and how the city was divided, North vs. South, ala Crips and Bloods. This was interesting actually. Being that I’m not an exclusive Houston hip hop fan (minus Geto Boys and UGK), I actually got some knowledge on how they united to take over rap. That union brought us the likes of Swisha House and what later became the Paul Wall/Chamillionare beef.
Even Jay-Z couldn’t escape Beef 4. They touched on the unexpected and highly publicized break up of the Roc, and Jay vs. Dame. Unfortunately, the resources in this segment are extremely one-sided, as Dame was the only one interviewed or able to speak his side of the matter (Video Clip). That wasn’t the only biased piece either. The Lupe Fiasco/Terry “TK” Kennedy skateboard beef was unevenly portrayed, as well as the Jamie Foxx/LL Cool J fight, further illustrating whose side Beef sticks too.
My favorite altercation from Beef 4, which helped add a dope t-shirt to my collection, was the Nycks/ENJ beef. Nycks and ENJ are both able to comment on the events that fateful day, and most stories lead to Nycks side. They break it down and explain the facts that lead to the hilarious and infamous punch. In the movie, Nycks and his crew go on to thank ENJ for the sucker punch, as it made his name spread, along with his catch phrase. We here at TSS would have to say “thank you” too. (Insert link to Vibe appearance)
The end of the feature gives an appreciated cover of the murder and dedication to Proof of D12 (Video Clip). The residents of Detroit interviewed were truly passionate about they way the felt and remember Proof. One goes on to says, “There will never be another [Proof]. He’s like Haley’s comet. It comes once in a lifetime; and if you ain’t there to see it or be apart of it, you fuckin’ missed out.”
Well said.
I’d really like to opinionate all of the beefs, but you’re better off getting the DVD and enjoying it yourself. It supervenes behind the scenes footage, Will Smith vs. Ethan Hawke, and the Game just popping off. So if you want an entertaining and informative documentary on hip hop’s top beefs, pick up a copy of Beef 4.

You could actually see Halleys Comet twice in your life if you were born at the right time. It comes every 75-76 years.

I’m stylin’ on you.
word to flea…………
It’s just good to see everyone up and commenting.
Saturdays are so quiet lol
i personaly thought beef 4 was the most boring part of the series, just a rip of they didn´t even clear one single song for the whole thing, cheap home made style vidoes, cut together to make a little scratch
Today is Sunday!
What’s next for the series Internet Beefs, lol
Its Sunnnnnday – Keisha Shontelle
Still hung over. Petron shots & slutty white chicks is how I spent my saturday. I smell like a mixture of liquor, perfume & Mickey D’s. Not pretty at all. Been bumping Trae “Life Goes On” on repeat ever since I got home, & I gotta say that this dudes two Rap-A-Lot albums are some of the tightest ish I’ve heard comin outta Houston. I realize I’m just rambling, I’ll probably begin to make sense in a half or so…blame it on the liquor & whores.
will smith vs ethan hawke (???)
ethan hawke got beef???
slap em with your wallet will..
Anyone think that DMX on RuffRyders/Roc-A-Fella would work? Imagine X spittin over Kanye & Just Blaze beats, as well as a rejuvenated Grease & Swizz. Some ill features (Kiss, Beans, Uncle Murda, etc.) a Hov verse, & it’s 96 all over again. Well maybe not quite, but the game could use a dose of grimy to balance out all this ringtone rap. Could X return to form or is it just wishful thinking?
AmpGeez (or anyone who has them) would you mind upping those Trae albums? Thanks.
X- done deal. Stick to the big screen

****
UGK = Port Arthur, Texas (or “P.A.T.” from “Big Pimpin’”)
Plus the cal is on me.
I’m going to have to agree wit TC. The boy X needs to give up on rapping. Anything he puts will just mess up the memories.
@oo718oo – i got those S. Carter Remixes
