What Is With All The Beef In Our Entertainment Industry?

Why is there so much negativity stemming from the underground? Alot of otherwise talented artists are going about making a name for themselves the wrong way.

They all seem to have borrowed a leaf from one of hiphop’s most toxic player: 50 Cent. 50 Cent cut his teeth beefing with the biggest names in the industry when he was a little known fat boy back in 1999.

Kenyan rappers in particular seem to want to use his blueprint forgetting that his method of doing things saw him alienate everyone in the game. Cabu Gah has fired some hard hitting shots at Octo and Amina. Octo himself cut his teeth taking shots at Abbas. Lyon Cash who rose to prominence after signing to Prezzo’s Makini Music Group took shots at his erstwhile general.

Some would have you believe that this is the best way to gain fame fast. I however am more ol’ skool. Unnecessary beef is just that, unnecessary. Beef is one of the 7 pillars of hiphop aye but only when it is necessary. Beef is the darker side of hiphop. I believe in putting in the work. It will take time and you may never get the recognition you deserve but you will have gained everyone’s respect. Think along the lines of Kenrazy. He has everyone’s respect because he has such an awesome work rate even though alot of people overlook him.
Cut the beef out. Grow the industry in harmony. Use the Nigerian formula!
