50 Cent and Fat Joe had by far the best "We not beefing anymore" song

Nah...the song isn't even that good and I like Fat Joe.

There are much better songs where rappers were beefing but then started to make music after...



'

And what counts? I mean technically MC Ren was dissing Dre with Eazy after he left NWA but this is the first song they did together post-beef....



I don't really count the Dre/Cube track. And Black Republicans is not that good. People gotta let that go.

Why not? Outside of Eazy E the biggest L that Dr Dre ever took was from the line 'AYO DRE, stick to producin' Not to mention the various shots sent on The Chronic and various Lynch Mob songs.

can someone tell me what it is they didn't like black republican? was it the insanely epic powerful beat? nas and jay coming together on a track for the first time? the fact that it was over a beat this hard?

I mean it's not their best verses ever, but they both still came pretty nice on it!

The beat is far from "insanely epic powerful"

:childplease:

That's where the problem is really. At first the song was cool but nobody listens to that shyt anymore. Their verses were underwhelming, being as they came together as the two Kings of NY after a huge war.

Thought this was a pretty dope track, especially since I've never rocked with Fat Joe much. Too bad this song was probably 9 years too late.

I also thought Black Republicans was pretty mediocre, even back then. I think people fell in love with the title of the song and the fact that it was Nas and Jay fresh off beef, so it was such an event with those two working together. Outside of Success (a GREAT song) and I Do It For Hip Hop, Nas and Jay songs together are duds.

I thought Ren stayed out that beef with Eazy E & Dre that's why Snoop said "fukk them other fools...what up Ren" on the Chronic.

True I don't have good reason for why, I just never really connected it as a "not beefing anymore song". Lol.
