is Dead. If you aren't on the same record label (and sometimes even if you are) then you have no friends, only buisness associates. A good example of this is Jay-Z,DMX,and Ja Rule they all came into the game together. Irv played a helping hand in all three of them getting signed. And its even because of Ja Rule that DMX got his deal (Russel Simmons said it) but after the three of them got their success it was over with. Jay Z and X remained cool until the Jada and Beans beef, and Jay z and Ja were tight until Irv tried to sign Nas, DMX flipped out one day and decided he don't like Ja anymore. DMX did a song with 50 dissing Ja, only a few years after doing a song for the murdereres album dissing 50. And on the song with 50 he rhymes 'i remember us flowing in cyphers with Run DMC" and said in an interview that they have always been cool and he always liked 50. If they were always cool, and he liked 50 then 50 would've been signed a very long time ago and he wouldn't of done the track with Ja shitting on 50.But now that 50 is more marketable then Ja all of a sudden X been cool with him?

I guess its true what they say "this rap shit is wrestling 2 percent of it is real"
