DJ Kay Slay ft. Outlawz & Lil Cease - "Bury The Hatchet" [Video]

DJ Kay Slay ft Outlawz & Lil Cease - Bury The Hatchet

 

In the digital age that we live in, we see "Beef" addressed in completely different ways. Devices such as Twitter and YouTube allow for individuals to address a situation in the public eye. Once upon a time, things didn't exist that way, which is what this particular video represents.

A 15 year old feed has officially been put to rest as the Outlawz and Lil Cease, the comrades of slain MC's 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., respectively, come together to "Bury The Hatchet." We all know what this dispute resulted in (which is similar to what Young Jeezy recently spoke about). While the traditional "Diss Record" was an element that we all loved about Hip-Hop, it's situations like the one between Pac & BIG, that make you wonder if it's still necessary.

"Bury The Hatchet" will appear on Kay Slay's Rhyme or Die, coming soon.

The Top 10 Albums of 2012 We Do Not Care About

The Top 10 Albums We No Longer Care About For 2012

 

Rather than ponder over just how impressive 2012's release roster will be (new music from T.I., Rick Ross, Jay-Z, etc.), we've decided to take a different approach. Instead of hyping what has the potential to be another great year for Hip-Hop, we're going to mull over whose music is teetering on the edge of, "Who cares anymore, anyway?" Thanks to reasons like artist ambivalence and record label shenanigans, and the fact that new music drops everyday, in most cases these 10 albums missed taking advantage of striking while their mics were hot. No shots.
