Jadakiss & Beanie Sigel have peacefully resolved their "beef." Founders ofAllhiphop.com contacted the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network after hearing Beans talk negatively about Kiss on Philly radio station Power 99. After being briefed on the tensions by Allhiphop.com, Russell Simmons then contacted both artists, inviting them to meet, with him as the mediator. Instead, the artists decided a one-on-onemeeting in an undisclosed area of Harlem, resolving their issues. The tension apparently began when a writer for The Source magazine quoted Kiss where he “allegedly” claimed that Philly rappers had bitten his style of rhyme. In an interview with Allhiphop.com, the Ruff Ryder said, “That was the writer twisting the s### around. That was some real b#######. I’m catching some real flack of that! I would never say nothing about Philly because that’s where I sell most of my records at.” However, after reading the Source story and also hearing of the comments, Beans took the diss personally claiming to be the only person Kiss could be referring to. Shortly thereafter, bootleg versions of Jadakiss’ Kiss the Game Goodbye circulated with a song dubbed “Here We Go Again,” featuring DMX. In the song, Kiss quips he stopped eating beef because he ate “too many Bean Macs,” referring to Sigel. Sige lthen responded with an even more vicious diss on the Empire Strikes Back CD(Roc-a-Fella’s first mix CD) with DJ Envy. His hookless verse included witty, yet violently laced, rhymes (“I’ll spark him up, leave him stiff like that cleaners”) aimed at Jadakiss and “any muthafuckin’ hater that act like he want to put down paper.” “I’m ‘bout to sun Kiss like a soda and make “J-to-the-Muah” put his lips to his nine and really Kiss The Game Goodbye//Its funny Jason really think he grimy too and everybody liked him better in that shiny suit.” However, less than a few days after the Empire Strikes Back CD hit the streets, Kiss’ reply was already on major radio stations like Power 99 and eventually on mix CD’s like New York’s DJ Green Lantern. Some of the lines Kiss said were equally street and lyrical aswell. "I don’t even like you Sigel, Your flow is all mine so don’t bite the hand that feeds you//MOS DEF,I’ll get someone to bury your carcass, for a KOOL G and I’m not from Rawkus//I’m rhyming on a Disco beat, you a fag, the next rhyme you kick should be over a Sisqo beat." However, despite the vile lyrics from both ends, the clash ends as fast as it began. The resolution suddenly ends a conflict that seemed like it could potentially become violent, as both Beans and Kiss run with large crews. Russell Simmons told Allhiphop.com that the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network would continue to call for peace in hip hop via Minister Ben Chavis, the director of the program. “It’s important for the idiots to know thebeef is squashed,” Russell Simmons said.
Jadakiss
& Beanie Sigel have peacefully resolved their "beef."
Founders ofAllhiphop.com contacted the Hip-Hop Summit
Action Network after hearing Beans talk negatively about
Kiss on Philly radio station Power 99. After being briefed
on the tensions by Allhiphop.com, Russell Simmons then
contacted both artists, inviting them to meet, with
him as the mediator. Instead, the artists decided a
one-on-onemeeting in an undisclosed area of Harlem,
resolving their issues.
The tension
apparently began when a writer for The Source magazine
quoted Kiss where he “allegedly” claimed that
Philly rappers had bitten his style of rhyme. In an
interview with Allhiphop.com, the Ruff Ryder said, “That
was the writer twisting the s### around. That was some
real b#######. I’m catching some real flack of
that! I would never say nothing about Philly because
that’s where I sell most of my records at.”
However, after reading the Source story and also hearing
of the comments, Beans took the diss personally claiming
to be the only person Kiss could be referring to.
Shortly
thereafter, bootleg versions of Jadakiss’ Kiss
the Game Goodbye circulated with a song dubbed “Here
We Go Again,” featuring DMX. In the song, Kiss
quips he stopped eating beef because he ate “too
many Bean Macs,” referring to Sigel. Sige lthen
responded with an even more vicious diss on the Empire
Strikes Back CD(Roc-a-Fella’s first mix CD)
with DJ Envy. His hookless verse included witty, yet
violently laced, rhymes (“I’ll spark him up,
leave him stiff like that cleaners”) aimed at Jadakiss
and “any muthafuckin’ hater that act like
he want to put down paper.” “I’m ‘bout
to sun Kiss like a soda and make “J-to-the-Muah”
put his lips to his nine and really Kiss The Game Goodbye//Its
funny Jason really think he grimy too and everybody
liked him better in that shiny suit.”
However,
less than a few days after the Empire Strikes Back
CD hit the streets, Kiss’ reply was already
on major radio stations like Power 99 and eventually
on mix CD’s like New York’s DJ Green Lantern.
Some of the lines Kiss said were equally street and
lyrical aswell. "I don’t even like you Sigel,
Your flow is all mine so don’t bite the hand that
feeds you//MOS DEF,I’ll get someone to bury your carcass,
for a KOOL G and I’m not from Rawkus//I’m
rhyming on a Disco beat, you a fag, the next rhyme you
kick should be over a Sisqo beat." However, despite
the vile lyrics from both ends, the clash ends as fast
as it began.
The resolution
suddenly ends a conflict that seemed like it could potentially
become violent, as both Beans and Kiss run with large
crews. Russell Simmons told Allhiphop.com that the Hip-Hop
Summit Action Network would continue to call for peace
in hip hop via Minister Ben Chavis, the director of
the program. “It’s important for the idiots
