Former Fat Man vs. White Man

First listen: TO THIS


Ok now, this is f'ing ridiculous. I thought beef was already out of hand by the number of low level low life's who use it as a means to generate interest for their wack album/mixtape/ringtone. Since when did producers beef with each other????

Now for those who don't know what's goin' on, apparent Timbaland and Scott Storch have beef with each other. Their history together starts over the fact that the both of them co-produced Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me A River" together. Of course there is no way to really figure out how that creative process worked and who really produced what, but ever since then, there has been a constant competition about who is better, and a whole bunch of other meaningless s**t. Folklore says that Scott started feelin' salty when Justin basically gave Timbaland all the credit for the song. Now this begs the question, why on earth would two grown men argue over Justin Timberlake?? Very suspect to me, but I digress.

The beef continued on the first single "Give It To Me" of Timbaland's upcoming album Shock Value, which features both Justin and Nelly Furtado (why does she have a career?). On that song, Timbaland calls Storch just a "piano man" and gives all sorts of BS reasons why he's better than Storch. Even though I completely agree with Timbaland, nobody cares enough for them to be makin' songs about one another, and this new Storch response just makes it all seem that much more ridiculous.

Hip Hop can be really stupid at times...
