Boycott Time: The Beanie vs Jay Z rap feud is without Merit

Jay Z and Beanie in better days

Jay Z and Beanie in better days

As some of you know, former Jay-Z protege, Beanie Sigel, is dissing Jay-Z with a song entitled, “How I Can Kill Jigga Man.” I swear there was absolutely NO CREATIVITY involved in this track. It was like Beans said, “What can I write to shock everyone?” Two minutes passed. Then he said, “Oh, I know, I’ll say, ‘I’ll kill him on a record.’ Yeah, that’s it. That’ll get lots of people to take notice and buy my album.”

Beans looks like the worst kind of traitor /Judas with this record. In the Roc-A-Fella “Hard Knock Life” days, Beans couldn’t get enough of Jay-Z. Now that he’s out of lockdown and signed to 50 Cent he writes a song, “How I Can Kill Jigga Man” ? Seriously. This song is weeeeeeaaaaakkkkkk.

I like music, I like creative art forms. But when people are really just trying to get stuff started, that’s the worst kind of artistry. It lacks genuine creativity! I covered hip hop when Biggie and Tupac were both alive. So I have no love for anyone who writes a song about killing somebody. That’s some BS.

I spoke out against the East Coast/ West Coast beef and I’m speaking up now. I encourage everyone who reads this blog not to support an artist who IRRESPONSIBLY puts lyrics out that promote death to another artist.

It is what it is. I’ve said it. Feel free to comment.
