If you’ve taken the thirty seconds or so to watch the video above, you’ve already gathered that Tennesee rapper Haystak has put it upon himself to administer an all-out war of words with the prodigal whiteboy, Eminem. Actually, if you noticed his not-so-subtle threats of Stak dragging the mock body bag to a ditch, via his own rendering of 50′s already infamous “A Psychic Told Me” YouTube video, you can tell it’s already beyond words in his mind. Along with the video, the CWB boss has also recorded three unflinching diss tracks to Slim and released them on his MySpace page.

“You a made up, over-saturated gimmick, woulda never been nothin’ without Jimmy / With that machine behind you, what’s not possible? Respond to the don I’ma put you in the hospital,” he raps on the track “I Am That Whiteboy.”

Before I touch on my opinion on the the matter, know that I’ve written about the Nashville rapper and his music several times previously, always going the extra mile in vouching for him when mixed responses were plastered throughout the unbiased comment section. Due to his diversity in style and song crafting, he’s one of my favorite rappers and has been for a while. With the exception of his fourth release, Return Of The Makmillion, I own hard copies of all of his albums. Saying I fuck with him is putting it lightly.

However (that’s a strong “however” on my part), there has to be a line drawn somewhere.

You can’t just diss someone of Eminem’s stature, out of nowhere, while specifically citing money and publicity as your reasoning. Even if he could hold his own against the man who made 8 Mile world-renown, this whole thing wreaks of a kick to the balls. It’s cheap. It’s petty. It’s Mr. Fantastic, a huge Goddamn reach, with absolutely no merit behind it. And that’s fine, whatever. As a taxpayer you can say whatever the hell you want. But as a decent human being (which I always thought Stak was), you cannot threaten another man’s life and career, mention his daughter and make cheesy YouTube videos dragging his ‘body’ just to give your independent grind some mainstream exposure.

From a ethical standpoint, I’m really sorry to say that because it means my man Stak lost this battle as soon as he started it. If he is lucky enough for Em to even give him a half-a-bar, which certainly won’t happen, I expect the down south native to unleash about 100 hundred tracks of recycled fight music.

Which completely sucks, because as much as I rep Haystak, I’ve already stopped listening.
