Hip Hop's New Beef: Loso, Soulja Boy, and 50 Cent

Is this real beef or is it just a publicity stunt? This question has been lingering around all day on Twitter.  Last night Soulja Boy shot some tweets at Fabolous aka Loso but quickly removed them from his page.  As we all remember a few weeks ago, Soulja Boy caught up in a scandal with a jumpoff (Kat Stacks) and allegedly using coke.  Loso went in on Soulja Boy and made a trending topic about the issue.  Its really unclear why Soulja is just NOW responding but he is going in on Twitter.  He sent numerous tweets to Loso threatening that he would "beat his ass" and even going as far as to say that he is better than Loso and Loso has been in the game 10 years and isn't seeing him.  As we all know, Loso is my favorite rapper so of course I had a lot to say.  I like Soulja Boy's music because it is something I can dance to.  HOWEVER, just because you have a nice beat and a nice hook does not make you a great rapper.  Loso is an extremely talented rapper and raps about real life situations not just the latest dance moves.  Soulja Boy has a larger fan base because 80% of his fans are kids.  And we know the kids go hard for their dance songs.  But I'll let you be the judge of who you feel is better.  Everything took a dramatic turn when 50 Cent jumped in the beef and began to send out death threats towards Loso and his Street Fam team.  He tweeted "I get all you niggas killed fuck that. I dear you niggas touch him. Soulja say what ever you wantNiggas aint gone do shit."  And yes this is the way he spelled everything.  With the deaths and beef hip hop has seen, I feel that it was plain stupid and childish for 50 to send these type of tweets.  Everyone knows he is the bully of hip hop but he took it way too far and especially for some beef that wasn't his.  Rather this is a publicity stunt or serious, it was not needed.  It just so happens that Loso and Soulja Boy were both in Vegas this past weekend and Soulja Boy allegedly ran from Fabolous' Street Fam team.  There is a video floating around of Soulja Boy running from the Street Fam member Ocean, at the airport.  Hopefully this doesn't lead to anyone getting hurt or anyone in jail.  Boys please grow up and leave the twitter beef to the low-life's.
