Unnecessary Roughness…
AUDIO By Beware on February 20, 2009 at 1:43 pmIf 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.

In a recession, every rapper is gonna beef with someone, just for the exposure.
to the more seasoned Drake listeners:
how would you compare his mixtape discography to Wale’s (which is amazing in my opinion)?
thinking about running through all the links gotty just dropped, but dont wanna waste the time or GBs doing it if they all sound the same…help please…..
enh
Wale > Drake
Personal opinion & preference.
cosign Gotty..not sayin Drake is wack but he seem like Ye-lite wit dat whole heart on my sleeve steez
I thought his name was Bubba Sparkz….*pause*…. There are more white boys still in the game??
enh
Wale > Drake
====================
Personal opinion and truth. LOL
Even though I know others will disagree due to his voice being monotonous @ times, i think Wale has a lot of charisma on the mic.
Isn’t Drake, Lupe Fiasco?
^ His Nike Boots have more charisma. lol
But both are talented MC’s.
plus Wale’s flow seems effortless..i likhow he incorparates his accent in his delivery instead of tryin to hide it
Who-stak?
Wale > Drake
Personal opinion & preference.
————————————–
thanks Gotty…and BdC, yes there are still plenty of caucasians killing it on the mic…see:
The Grouch & Eligh of the Living Legends, Slug of Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Aesop Rock, Frank Lee White, 6th Sense, Benefit (dont know where the fuck he is now though), El-P, Eyedea, Ill Bill, Vinnie Paz (white to me), Everlast, Slain, Necro, Sage Francis, Skinhead Rob, Josh Martinez, Mad Child, Cage, RA The Rugged Man, Kno of Cunninlynguists, Evidence of Dilated Peoples, LMNO of The Visionaries, Mac Lethal, Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park (wack but still getting that major gwop)
thats just to name a few…open those dumbo flaps up
Isn’t Drake, Lupe Fiasco?
==========================
huh?
Too much Drake.. which one do you recommend, G?
I haven’t been put onto either one of these cats. SMH
I recommend Drake The Snake Roberts but not the one where he is Lupe Fiasco. But he’s cool when he is Fabulous though.

im so fucking lost right now.
so A/V Jones is Drake is Lupe is Fabolous is Lil Waynes clone?
*confused*
You can tell a diss record is pointless and not worth the effort when the comments are more about other artists that the postee
@dirk, thats similar to what I was about to post….
@kthundo, I know its a couple of white boys left in the game, but haystack made it to the majors and most of the acts you named keep it underground….
ps.:
why not mention jedi mind tricks, aint them cats white??
And they killing the underground scene more than any of them cats you named, and they been doing it for much longer!!
PHILLY stand da EFFE UP!!!

ummm…Vinnie Paz (which i mentioned) is the rapping member of JMT…Stoupe is the producer and Jus Allah was the other rapper before they broke up (but he’s black)…i know my shit son….and yes while most of the cats i named are on the underground circuit im pretty sure most of them have more album sales, shows, & tours then Stack. (i guarantee the average number of Living Legends, Atmosphere, & Dilated peoples album sales at lease triple Haystacks sales per CD)
majors mean nothing when you have an incredible nationwide fan base.
Kthundo says

oh really?? why not tell that to a incredible band like the roots, they have a world-wide fan base, had majors success, yet they still opt to stop making albums for to be a full-time house-band job…
Things that make you go hmmmmm!!
+offtopic:
well really i just needed a reason to post something ‘The Roots’ related…..
http://streetknowledge.wordpress.com/2009/02/20/the-roots-to-play-3-month-residency-in-ny/
@BLAZE
I’m pretty sure they aren’t going to stop making records, they’re just going to stop that crazy-ass touring schedule that they do. They’re supposedly getting X amount of time off during the year to tour, which I’m hoping they’ll use, ’cause I still haven’t been able to see them live.
….shame and a disgrace when a write up about you gets over shadowed by a link to some underground artists not even mentioned in said article
……..if you’re there Haystak, “we don’t believe you; you need more people”
Haystak got that white boy weed money. Long as it’s Mexicans around, he’s good lol.
@dj regular, I was wondering about that myself….Are ‘the roots’ still signed to a major distribution, if so do this mean that they will do sample cuts off their albums while they are performing on the show….knocking out two birds with one pebble??
Brother Ali is BLACK
mr fantastic indeed
Slug sucks anyways.
You can’t just diss someone of eminem’s stature? What fuckin stature? That clown is a fabrication. He’s a fraud. Everything he raps about is geared towards suburban emo whiteboys. Fuck Eminem. Haystak will body emifem. Marshall Mattersnot fell off. He is irrelevant. Haystak was here before emifem and will be here long after emifem decides to hang it up for good.
Beware, how the fuck is this “cheap” and “petty”. Haystak actually represents real CWB’s; not wannabe’s like emifem. Hell, I’d advise Stak to not even waste his time on trash like emifem. He could just sick one of his pitbulls from Palface or Oktaine on emifem’s bitch ass.
If not for Dre, emifem wouldn’t be shit. It tooks Dre’s industry rep to provide enough cosign to kick emifem’s career off. Haystak’s catalogue is miles longer than emifem’s, Stak’s subject matters REALLY MATTER, and they are all factual. Emifem was a drug abusin clown whose material fell off when he stopped doin the damn drugs. ‘fem needs to eat some more ’shrooms so that he can write some more corny shit for the suburban hoogies to get their rocks off too.
S
beware, it’s clear that you are a haystak supporter; don’t stop listening because Stak decided to vent his hatred of the fraud that is Marshall Mathers.
I’ll take a decently talented MC who speaks the truth over a lyrical genius who raps about fantasy in nearly everyone of his rhymes.
Oh, on a side note….Haystak’s independent grind is doing quite well; he isn’t going at Marshall because he needs publicity. I’m in Germany right now and have purchased half of Staks Albums here in Germany during the past 5 years I’ve lived here. He’s obviously not as popular as Marshall…..but he’s damn sure internationally known.
haystak better chill before his past gets brought up too.
he’s got a couple underage skeletons in there
