WTFF? Lil Kim Aims at Nicki Minaj with “Black Friday”
In most cases, hip-hop beef is stupid, and it’s usually fairly easy to tell why one rapper is going after another. Nowadays, it’s almost always due to jealousy. Either a neophyte rapper is targeting an older rapper because of their success, or a faded veteran rapper is attacking a relative (and relatively successful) newcomer. It’s pretty simple.

Nothing gets my goat quicker than the announcement of award nominations. It seems like the older I get, the more I realize how much awards are based on political considerations and not based on actual talent or even common sense. To wit-the nominations for the BET Awards were announced this week.
