He Responds!

Last night, Fitty responded to Rick Ross’s diss on “Mafia Music”. I must admit, I’ve heard better, but here’s a few bars that stuck out to me: “Screamin ‘Boss’/ Nigga u ain’t a boss / Pussy nigga you lost / Listen Officer Ross / I tell u straight / suck a dick / U tryna come subliminal / cuz ya ass the police / My niggas is criminals / Like every other word out cha mouth’s bouta bird / like u sling cocaine / the shit is absurd / You’s a rapper / You’s a mother fucking rapper / It’s a wrap / Your career is fuckin’ wrapped up”. 50 also extends a beef invitation to Lil Wayne at the end of the track.

Well, Ricky called in to Angela Yee’s radio show this morning on Shade45 and sayed that the beef came about because backstage at the BET Awards show, Ricky went to approach 50 and 50 screwed his face up all crazy, and Ricky felt that wasn’t G, and he had to get at him cuz of that; hence the “Mafia Music” diss. (HUH?) He also said he’s disgusted with and can’t believe 50’s response and even gave 50 an extension to reciprocate a better diss within the next 2 days! LMAO! He also stabbed at 50 and said that he’s selling the rights to his baby mother’s story while 50 bought the rights to use his. OUCH!

So…It’s Not Dead?

Saigon went on DJ Kay Slay’s radio show on Shade45 and said that Budden keeps calling his phone to “wave the white flag”; and even had his shorty get on the phone to plead with Sai. He also claims that Joey didn’t even write those diss tracks! Saigon says Joe Budden is a battle rapper and created this whole thing as a publicity stunt because he’s dropping an album next month and needed something to help with promotion. And believe it or not, he and Budden actually agree on something: Sai is also willing to put the gloves on and get it in. Take a listen:

Hot Sauce a.k.a. Hot Sizzle is retiring his And1 jersey after 6 years and moving on to join the College Park Spyders, a Georgia ABA team.

The Saga Continues…

Joe Budden is not backing down from his statement that a truce was called between him and Saigon; which is contrary to what Sai is saying. In a recent interview, Joey even says that Saigon begged him to stop and leave him alone. Hmmm…He also confirmed that he wouldn’t mind having an organized fight with dude, and he also doesn’t discount the notion of doing a collabo with him in the future. Oh yeah, and he confessed his love for battle rapping ;-) This is a very interesting interview. It gives a little more insight to who Joe Budden is. Read the full article at hiphopgame.com.
