But Then, Maybe I'm Just Dramatic

So I've given We Got It 4 Cheap, Vol. 3 a more thorough listen and while it's still an amazing piece of work, like Status in't Hood, I have some concerns.

Unlike Mr. Breihan, however, I'm a little more concerned about the following from "Re-Up Intro", which seems to be escalating the Lil Wayne beef:

Sorry, but I don't respect who you applaudin'/Lil nigga flow but his metaphor is borin'/Don't make me turn daddy's lil girl to orphan/That'd mean I'd have to kill Baby like abortion

It's not just that I don't want my two favorite rapper(s) feuding with each other as, like Brett, I'm worried about the potential for real violence. Both groups are in such tenuous places, in terms on commercial success/respect, that we really don't need another career-ending tragedy.

With Weezy's recent legal troubles who knows if he'll respond and if he does, how. Tha Carter III is looking more and more like hip-hops version of Chinese Democracy and as far as I know he has no mixtapes scheduled to drop, but the dude is prolific and it's unlikely there won't be some sort of response within the next few months.

I can't say I'm disappointed with Clipse--it's a hell of a mixtape and even as I love Wayne, I respect the power of that diss. It's more, that these are two sets of artist who seem to get the idea of doing what you love, working the grind, and moving rap to the next level. It'd be a shame for them to take each other out, especially over something so unimportant as BAPE.

I can't upload songs right now (computer issues), but if you haven't heard it yet you can listen to the track here.
