50 Cent Enemies
Ja Rule

Ja Rule and his record label Murder Inc have been enemies of 50 Cent for a long time. One night in a club, 50 said "What's up?" to a man he knew who happened to have stolen a chain from Ja Rule. Ja saw 50 talking to the man and felt disrespected. This began the feud. "Wanksta" and a slew of records dissing Ja and Murder Inc. head Irv Gotti followed. Things got physical one day in Atlanta. Ja and 50 were staying in the same hotel, and when 50 saw Ja, he pulled him aside to talk. "He was lookin' real stupid," 50 says. "He


had one of them little bats they give you at the baseball games for your kids. He had the lil-tough look on his face. I let him go on for about a minute or two, and then I just punched him in his eye. I heard enough of that shit." 50 thinks Ja Rule tries to sound, act, and look like Tupac. Ja Rule has shaved his head bald, gotten tattoos and wears bandannas the same way Tupac did. 50 thinks of Ja Rule and Murder Inc of wanna be gangstas (wankstas). Ja was stabbed at a Queens club and supected 50 was behind the attack. His Murder Inc crew allegedly retailiated by stabbing 50 outside the Hit Factory recording studio. 50 has said of Ja, "It's like he's not strong enough to stand on his own in any situation... right now he's probably terrified...", "I think he's a clown, all he's missin is a red nose, a wig, and the shoes." Ja Rule claims that 50 has an order of protection against Ja, but 50 denies it, saying, "c'mon, (Ja weighs 110 pounds wet, and with his pockets full of change." 50 has recorded numerous diss tracks aimed at Ja Rule. In "Backdown" from Get Rich, he raps, "I'm back in the game, shorty, to rule and conquer/You sing for the hos and sound like Cookie Monster." In his latest attack, the track "The Realest Killas", a collaboration track mixing the vocals of Tupac and 50 Cent, 50 raps "Here's the real Tupac", and goes on to say, "You pretended to be Pac, you pretended to be hot". 50 aimed several disses at Ja at the Summer X Jam as well.

Joe Budden

The beef between Joe Budden and G-Unit started when Budden dissed them on a DJ Clue mixtape on a track called 'Game Over'. It was aimed mainly at The Game, the newest member of G-Unit. The Game responded by saying "Joe Budden is a real coward but I already knew he wasn't that type of a guy..Joe Budden is a fruitcake. They know it and I know it - the world know it." He also posted this response in his forum. "My beef witt Hoe Buddens is not squashed, so fuck what you read on other websites or heard in the streets, fuck Joe Buddens for the rest of his life & thats straight out the horses mouth !!! For


you Go-Go Buddens dick ryders, go to Buddens website & see if he'll take the time to holla atchu in his own forum. He won't because he's a faggot fraudulent rapper witt female tendencies. I flew all the way to New York the day after he dropped his diss record because on his joint he told me to come to New Jersey or he'd meet me at Roscoes so I went to the N.Y. and took over Hot 97 for two days smashin' that nigga then i ran up on him at the Desert Storm offices and he bitched up like a 8 year old little gyrl in the middle of a gang shootout so me imposing harm on this nigga would've been like beating on a dead dog !!! he never wanted no drama from the jump, he never expected me to fly to New York the next day & run up on em' now that's GANGSTA !!! Fuck Joe Buddens". Joe Budden has not repsonded back yet.

Black Child

Black Child, a member of Murder Inc, is rumoured to be the one who shot 50 in front his grandma's house, and was also rumored to be the one who stabbed 50 in a club. The rumor says "Murder Inc members, including Ja Rule and Irv Gotti entered a club, the lights went out, Black stabbed 50, and the lights came back on. Since then, Black Child had made two disses towards 50 Cent, "theres a snitch in the club" and "you the wanksta". In both songs Black talks about shooting and stabbing 50.

Cadillac Tah

Cadillac Tah has some beef with 50, their beef isn't really exposed to the public much, Black Child, one of murder inc's members is rumoured to be the one who shot 50 in front his grandma's house, and was also rumored to be the one who stabbed 50 in a club, the rumor says " murder inc members, including jarule and irv gotti enterd a club, the lights went out, black stabbed 50, the lights came back. Since then, black child had made two disses towards 50cent, "theres a snitch in the club" and "you the wanksta" in both songs black talks about shooting 50, stabbing and other things, "i got a lot of living to do before i die, and i aint got time to waste, shoot this nigga in his face"

Jay-Z vs. Nas
There may have been celebrated beefs involving Kool Mo Dee, Ice-T, Ll Cool J, and, of course, the infamous Tupac verses Biggie, but this was the one that set the battlefield on fire in recent years, as both of these cats are at the top of their game when they started spitting fire at each other. And couldn't be more respected in the hip hop community. Early on it seemed as if Jay-Z might have won this with a few spirited barbs, but Nas' "Ether" has become a heralded classic and his rapid succession of incredible albums -- two a year for the last two years, one better than the other, a double album on the way - have made him the clear winner.


Mobb Deep vs. Jay-Z
Another contender tries to snatch the crown from Hova. This time it's those grimy cats from the QB, Mobb Deep. Again, as respect in the game as they come. While their beef wasn't as legendary it did spark some truly great moments, including Jay-Z's unveiling of a childhood photo of Mobb's Prodigy in a tutu at the NTC Summer Jam. Ouch!

Ja Rule vs. Eminem
Since Eminem signed 50, this battle spilled over into his trailer. And lemme tell ya, as Ja found out the hard way, you do NOT wanna go up against Em. He's got Dr. Dre, 50, G-Unit, D-12, The Game and a slew of other talented rapper on his side, plus the backing of White America. Plus, quite frankly, love him or hate him, any fool will tell you, he can out rap just about every human in the solar system. Ja calling out Em was kind of like Lenny Kravitz calling out Eddie Van Halen for a guitar playing contest. The result? Has anyone heard a peep out of Ja Rule since? Case closed.


Busta Rhymes vs. Ja Rule
When Busta signed to Dre's Aftamath label, somehow he got pulled into this, with Ja taking a few potshots at the rapper turned actor. Busta fired back hard with an uncharismatic, vicious attack on "Hail Mary."


Eminem vs. Benzino and The Source
This is where things got interesting. First, Em destroys Ja, who is buddies with Ray Benzino, washed up rapper, successful club owner and part owner of acclaimed hip hop bible, The Source. So indirectly inspired to take on this white boy who dealt his pal such a fatal blow, Benzino gets The Source to do a series of articles bashing Eminem for killing hip hop by bringing in a white audience, accusing him of being a racist and bashing his music. They even went so far as to run a comic series depicting Benzino as the savior of rap and a beheaded Eminem as the slain enemy, followed by a slew of Em disses on mixtapes. All of this would seem impressive if Benzino wasn't such a hack rapper, and his barbs seeming as lightweight as humanly possible when compared with the verbal ass-whoppin' Em and his crew gave him over a series of diss tunes, culminating with "Monkey See Moneky Do," "Do Rae Mi," and "Bully" from the Straight From the Lab bootleg EP (dedicated entirely to destroying Benzino, Ja and Cannibus) and the scathing "Nail in the Coffin." This battle resulted got so hot that XXL magazine jumped in and managed to side with Em's camp, stuck `em all on the cover for a few issues, and managed to elevate themselves to direct competitors of The Source in the process.


Esham vs. Eminem and D12
He shoulda learned his lessons from all the others who tried and died, but legendary Detroit acid-rapper Esham decided to callout Em and his boys in d-12 for not reppin' the 8 Mile properly, and promptly got stomped the f**k out at the WARP tour a few years ago. It's a drag because Esham was an early influence on Eminem and just about every other rapper out of the Motor City, but, ehy, if you mess with the bull you get the horns, right?


Royce Da 5'9 vs. Eminem
Then former D-Town buddy Royce Da 5'9 got into the mix, lobbing a few bombs in Em's direction on his own albums, most notably on "Malcolm X." No worries, Em squashed him good over a few freestyles and firmly removed him fro the "one-to-watch" category. Again, too bad, as Royce was/is a great MC.

The Game vs. Joe Budden
So Eminem signs 50 Cent, who gets involved in several lifetimes worth of beef. Then 50 signs The Game, the newest in line for Dre-related superstardom. This Compton MC comes out of the gate by spittin' flames at just about every one in sight, including one-hit-wonder Joe Budden, who dissed Game on a song they appeared on together (yikes!). So Game fired back with "Buddens," a stinging diss set to Ice-T's "Colors." Budden has not been heard from since. Joe who?

The Game vs. Memphis Bleek
No one really knows why Game called out Memphis Bleek on the epic "200 Bars" freestyle. Even he doesn't know, as he recently admitted in an MTV interview. Therefore their beef has been squashed. But damn, that tune was dope...

Yukmouth vs. The Game
Luniz member Yukmouth stepped up to the plate to call out Game for using his moment in the limelight to cap on MCs rather than shine on his own, and hauls out to scathing diss tracks to set the record straight. Game returns the shots with a few of his own, including a terrific diss over Tha Luniz own much-sampled "I Got 5 On It" beat. The problem here is that Yuk, while a charismatic vet with skills, just doesn't have the kind of mic prowess to step up to a young, hungry cat like Game.

Shaq vs. Mad Skillz
By now, mixtape beef battles have become trendy, as is evident by Shaquille O'Neil's random attack on former Rawkus artists Mad Skillz. No one is sure why Shaq decided to go after him, espically considering Skillz can run cirecles around him, and did on his reply, title "99 Freethrows (And Ya Can't Make One)" set to Jay-Z's "99 Problems."
