CARTER VS CARTER PT 1

MR. CARTER         VS     MR. CARTER

If your an old school hip hop head this photo takes you back to battles that included "The Bridge Is Over" by B.D.P. battling TheJuice Crew.If your the next generation you might remember the feeling you got when u 

first heard "Hit Em Up" by The Outlawz aimed at Bad Boy. From an outsiders view its impossible to guess

whats going on in each artist head. It may be a personal egotistic strategy or a calculated marketing plan.

Listening to the buzz online about the diss track Lil Wayne aimed at Jay-Z, it was an answer to "H.A.M". 

where Jay says "You got baby money/ keep it real with n*ggas/ n*ggas aint got my lady money". Although

Wayne responded in the Oct./Nov. issue of Vibe "I know there wont be any repurcussions", why did he

take the bait??? The verse in "H.A.M". could be taken either or but the verse in Wayne's track was a

direct shot at Jay-Z. In the track "Im Good" Wayne spit "Talkin bout Baby money/ I got yo baby money/

kidnap yo b*tch get that how much you love yo lady money/ I know you fake n*gga/ press yo brakes

n*gga/ I'll take you out, thats a date n*gga. What a tangled web we weave when Lil Wayne has done

tracks with Beyonce' and Jay-Z also sharing the same last name as the married couple. Early in Waynes

career alot of the beef was internal between him and The Hot Boys eventually Wayne battling himself

and demons within. Jay-Z battled Nas in a classic that ended with Ether where both artist apologized

and teamed up in front of and behind the mic to get money together. With the release of "Watch The

Throne", Aug. 8th and 3 weeks later "Tha Carter IV", its a race to the finish line. I've heard both

diss songs but haven't taken both cds to the lab. Who's the best rapper alive??? People lie #s

dont, but I will leave that choice up to you. Next week its CARTER VS CARTER Pt.2
