Is hip hop about beef nowdays?

to me it seems hiphops always been about, and originated from battling, but nowdays it seems artists shit on eachother just for fame

Hip-hop right now is some straight feudal shit. 50/G-Unit/Ma$e/Mobb Deep vs. Jay/Nas/Kanye/Diddy vs. Cam/Dipset?
There's so many wild cards here, too--the Game, Eminem? Dre?
and wutang are reuniting will they jump in the brawl?
most of this beef is originating from gay bullshit reasons too,

seems to me hiphops on some bold n buetifal home n away drama bullshit, some 12 year old girls who want drama, so they can brag

what beef can u see in the near future??

and do you think about hip hops current situation?

any feedback

That shit's stoopid.

EHHHHHHHH what.....

For starters......No.

Secondly, hip hop did not origionate from battling. Battling is a competition based social activity that origionated through freestyling, which origionated along with rapping.

Origional rapping was mainly small rhymes and fabels rapped by a dj used to introduce people at large street parties..And it evolved from there.

And for your information.. Beef will never be what hip hop is about.. Beef is something compleatly different that happens as a result of the community based hierarchy of rappers and recording artists. Its simple.....Cats often have problems with each other and their opinions... And the music industry likes to amplify and perpectuate these problems to help hype up a record release.

Hip hop will always be about music and entertainment.. No matter what some cats out there would have you believe.

Battle raps are closer to the original form of MCing than concept raps, which are more essayic or narrative in form. This is because they feature 'shout outs' and insulting language, which are actually an evolved form of the roasting that was part of the original MC's craft (or toasting as it was called in Jamaica by Ragga and other dub artists).

Origional rap was a dj performance at a party, where cats like kool herc gave shout outs to people with little rhymes and shit..

When did I say anything about concept raps...

yea my thoughts exactly

in a way thats kind of fun in my opinion. trying to get the crown. mainstream rap would be like a big game to me. I probably would beef rappers i hated when i was just another slave on earth. but i wouldn't go as far as 50 cent or em. but fo real its stupid in my opinion. especially when every damn song i hear is either about shooting someone, a love song, a club scene, or flossin' how creative can you get when you do the same songs over and over again....blah what ever. i dont care they're makin money i can't complain
