Jay-Z vs. The Game ?

Another rap beef? I honestly wonder who actually cares about rap beefs anymore. It seems that most of the time the rap beefs these days are between mediocre rappers anyways, so most people seem to yawn. However, The Game taking shots at Hov is almost worth paying attention to. My understanding is that Jay-z took shots at The Game in a HOT 97 freestyle... but after listening to it... I can't honestly say that Jay-z directed his comments to The Game. However there is no question that this latest diss track "I'm So Wavy" is directed at Jay-z.



Say what you want about that track, but I think The Game shoulda listened to Jay-z destroying Nas on Supa Ugly, and thought twice. I especially like the line from it where Jay-z talks about sleeping w/ Nas' girl - "u was kissin my dick when u was kissin that bitch". JIGGA IS MEAN! The Game better watch out.. he's poking the bear with this whole thing.

Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 fame and Talib Kweli deliver a new song for ya. It's funny, cuz Chali 2na has such a distinct voice, but I've never seen what he looks like until now. The vid is worth watching though.

Also, I'm late on this one, but here's a track that surfaced a little while ago by Ryan Leslie featuring Pusha T of the Clipse called Something That I Like.
