Rap Wars

In case you hadn't heard yet, the latest beef on the music scene is between Diggy Simmons and J Cole.  Why?  Because J Cole apparently said he had a "thing" with Diggy's sister, Angela.  My question is this: why is there always beef in the music industry and why is it always the small small guys who want to make the loudest noise?

Whenever something like this happens, everyone jumps to the conclusion that it's a publicity stunt.  With Tulisa's sex tape it was "oh, her single's coming out soon", but not being funny, that little sex tape would not persuade me to buy Tulisa's single and Diggy's diss track, would not prompt me to buy his album.  I don't even think you can use "publicity stunt" as a reason behind any celebrity doing anything.

Beef in the industry goes back years.  I'm not going to pretend I follow it all or that I even listen to every artists music but the one war I wasn't happy to hear about, was Drake vs Ludacris.  Anyone that knows me knows I love Drake and I absolutely love Luda.  At first I didn't even want to hear the diss tracks but as a fan of both artists, I caved in and had a listen.  Personally, I felt that Drake should have kept quiet.  At the end of the day, Luda has been here for how long?  He's released how many albums?  Where's the respect please?  Drake just needs to sit down and I actually felt the same about his beef with Common.  I don't even listen to much Common but come on!!  Drake; please don't do it.

I kind of feel the same about this Diggy beef.  It's not necessary.  His sister is surely old enough to fight her own battles, if what J Cole even claims is true.  Saying that though, my younger brother will always have my back, so I suppose on the flip side, defending your sisters honour, isn't such a bad thing.

Anyway have a listen to the diss track, link below.

10 Reasons Why I Hate the Tube

My friends and family all know how much I hate travelling by tube in London. It is one of the hardest tasks in our day to day lives and one of the biggest tests you will ever face. If you can survive an entire tube journey with a smile on your face and not one negative thought about where you are and the people around you, then you deserve 3 gold medals. These are the 10 reasons I hate the tube (and there's probably more). 1. When the tube is packed and people tell you to move down. First of all where do you expect me to move to and second why should I move? I'm quite comfortable where I am. If you want to squeeze up in this teeny tiny space your more than welcome to come and try. 2. When you're sitting on one of those fold down chairs and somebody with a back pack or newspaper gets on and stands over you. Dude, why is your bag/newspaper in my face? Take it off and put it on the floor between your legs and stop reading because if this train jerks forward and you fall on me,...

Double Standards!!!

Don't you just hate them?  Like, people say one thing, either about themselves or a certain situation but it's the total opposite for them, like it's not ok for you but it's all good for them.    The term double standard , coined in 1912, refers to any set of principles containing different provisions for one group of people than for another, typically without a good reason for having said difference.  A double standard may take the form of an instance in which certain concepts (often, for example, a word, phrase, social norm, or rule) are perceived as acceptable to be applied by one group of people, but are considered unacceptable or taboo when applied by another group . Taken from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_standard . I've recently been in a situation where a double standard was applied.  I didn't even realise it at first and the truth is we are all faced with double standards every day in our lives.  For example, people will s...

He said I'm so perfect for him but.....

.....there's something missing. He can't tell me what that something is, just that it's missing. Well if that's the case I'm obviously not perfect for you am I? But that doesn't phase me. I may not be perfect for you but I am perfect for somebody else. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
