What’s Beef when you Have the Mac & Cheese?

Misunderstandings in hip hop can sometimes lead to violent ends. The deaths of Biggie and Tupac are two main examples of this phenomenon. Happily, the tiff between 50 Cent and French Montana has evaporated.

Because of French’s affinity for the BMF series, produced by 50, he wants no problems with the South Jamaica, Queens native. 50 in fact has forgotten the beef in total.

French Montans put out a few mixtapes early on in his career, but he didn’t catch fire until he produced chart-climbing singles.

50 Cent’s impact on the game began to wane until he incorporated producing shows and acting. This jump-started his career in visual entertainment as opposed to music.

The two of them have a penchant for making catchy songs which become radio hits. Where’s the beef? The sensibility of their catalog is rife with cocaine tales and living the lavish life.

Drugs play a part in the worlds of both men. Though they are focused on their careers, the trade is always at the forefront of their words and images. The behavior of drug dealers always runs through their efforts like a line of cocaine itself.

So how did this beef originate? When 50 Cent questioned whether French Montana owning a 2010 Bugatti Veyron in 2020 instead of an updated Chiron, the tension sparked with something just as trivial as this.

Yes, hip hop can be this precious. Both men are New York City artists and have been able to rise up from their humble beginnings and make an impact on the genre of hip hop. Because they had their one year long beef, it will go down in the history books as a way to squash simple squabbles without resorting to the start of the initiation of force.

The trifling nature of their beef should be a lamp post for upcoming artists to joust with one another freely to keep the game interesting. They can imbue a new level of popcorn entertainment in the genre.

If French Montana and 50 Cent can put out the fire where they cooked their little beef, then anyone, especially 50, can let loose of his trolling ideals. He can invest himself in the television series which will appeal to one-time foes.

The commitment they will exhibit will be something for them to make even more money with the social media wonks yearning to experience both of these men’s work. The dollars rolling in will stand in stark contrast to this petty quarrel. Maybe 50 Cent will appear on a song of French Montana’s or French might appear in an episode of BMF and champion the notion of men of color being able to work with each other.

The two of them know how important it is to address even the smallest of arguments. The genre searches for animosity to make its way through the ideas of women and men who desire to make a considerable living. In a world where there is little or no label medical insurance, a pension plan, or other retirement settlements, some rap stars have to generate beef to stir the money pot.

If there is such a thing as a genre of rap/hip hop in the future, the figures will have to keep nonviolent beef going to insist the game is interesting, fresh. As long as discussions over premium cars can be hashed out, then maybe rappers don’t have to sit down with Minister Louis Farrakhan and have mysticism be the deciding factor in their verbal altercation. Let’s see if the vicious beef legacies of Biggie and Tupac can be seen as relics of the past as opposed to the beef of the future.
