Rhymefest: What's Beef!?!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBz0j5WZV4c&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0×999999

Curren$y, Karen & RhymefestWhile interviewing Curren$y, Rhymefest was also recording in Mark Ronson’s studio. If you dont know, I had a few “not so nice” words for him about his beef with Charles Hamilton. Charles was a friend of mine, and of course I found it necessary to defend him, but I guess in blogging world, it comes off as one sided. So, Fest & I had a sit down conversation where he shed light on his side of the story.  Rhymefest is one hell of a writer, and incredibly intelligent. Not many rappers I know are privileged to speak at Yale’s Black Solidarty Conference when their album drops. I still find this beef boring though. I wish both artist the best of luck,  chalk this up to a case of “one big misunderstanding“…On a more positive note; Rhymefest is working on his mixtape which features some great hip hop legends. He also let me preview his new video, which I happened to like a lot, reminds me of a Boondocks cartoon kind of theme. Yeah he dissed Charles and the hipster click. Never did I say I was a peacemaker, that’s a jewelers job..
