			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><strong>“It was important to me to reach out to Beans because I ain't gonna front, when I seen the way that clip was chopped and screwed and edited, I was like ‘Yo, that looks really, really bad.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The Internet has helped rapper Joe Budden garner not only a solid fanbase, but a prominent voice in Hip-Hop where his opinion is held under a microscope.</p>
<p>Reported earlier, the Jerz native weighed in on the <a href="http://hiphopwired.com/2009/11/04/joe-budden-weighs-in-on-jaybeanie-beef/">ongoing beef </a>between Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z.  The video made it seem as though he was riding for Jay and made it appear that the shots thrown from Sigel were wack and there was no point in him trying to come at Jigga because <span id="more-15509"></span>he wouldn't be able to win the battle regardless.</p>
<p>His opinion would float to Sigel's Philly affiliate Mike Knox who had his own choice words for Budden where he basically issued a warning to Jumpoff to watch what he says otherwise there could be certain consequences.</p>
<p>Utilizing the popularity of <em>JoeBuddenTV</em>, the rapper went on to provide clarity to that broadcast and maintained the fact that he never meant any disrespect.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“It was chopped up to look like I had a message that I didn't have, so it was important for me to reach out to him and let him know that sh*t was chopped and screwed.  Some people don't know how the Internet works, not saying that he's one of those people, so I reached out and I got in contact with Mike Knox and Beanie Sigel and I basically let them n*ggas know that video looked like sh*t.  It was chopped and screwed and edited to f*ck up what I was saying and it wasn't like that at all.” </strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Adding how the media embraces beef, Budden felt it necessary to nip the problem in the bud before it became an actual issue.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“You just wanna stop sh*t before the snowball effect begins to take place.  Fortunately for me, I've seen Beans and met Beans so many times that it was much easier for him to believe what I was saying.  I've always shown that n*gga the utmost respect because I'm a big fan of him and what he does.” </strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Any person in America is guaranteed the freedom of speech where he/she is freely open to voice his/her own opinion on particular subjects, but there comes a time where an opinion is unnecessary.</p>
<p>For Budden, there comes a point where he has to just sit back and watch instead of providing commentary due to the fact that his words, whether taken out of context or not, have only landed him in trouble.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><strong>“Beanie Sigel is going at Jay-Z, huh?  Is that what it's come to in Hip-Hop?  Hip-Hop is f*cking wack.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Mr. No Comment seems to have unlocked the key and is speaking his piece once again.  As Beanie Sigel has finally aired his grievances on wax, many artists are beginning to throw in their opinions about the situation.</p>
<p>If anyone has had problems with Jay-Z, it would have to be Joe Budden.  Depending on how a person perceives it, Jay might have ended his career at<span id="more-14306"></span> Def Jam once he was placed at the president's table so if any hostility is still burning, it would come from the New Jersey rapper.</p>
<p>With JoeBuddenTV back in full effect, the rapper questions the timing behind the Broad Street Bully's attack.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“Why he ain't never go at him before is what I wanna know.” </strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Showing his admiration for Beans, Joey doesn't feel like shots at Hov are effective enough to the point where they shouldn't be fired.  He also clears up some confusion that may have come recently from his lyrics and has assured everyone that he hasn't had words for Jay since <em>Mood Muzik</em> and has no intentions to create any later on.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong> “Beans is nice and I like Beans.  I just feel like n*ggas dissing Hov is pointless.  Mind you, I'm very aware that I dissed Hov countless times.  I dissed Hov a bunch of times.  I did not diss Hov recently.  Contrary to popular belief, I didn't send one line at Hov in that BET Cypher, it's just that now everybody thinks that everything I say is directed towards ‘Too many many blueprints, not enough architects.'  That's not a diss to him either.  When the fans made it into a diss, I certainly didn't run to correct them because it helped.” </strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Many such as 50 Cent, Jim Jones, and Cam'Ron have thrown rocks at the thrown, but in comparison, Jay has always reigned triumphant.  At the end of the day, all that matters is who is here standing now.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“If you go against Jay-Z, the fight is automatically fixed.  I like Jay-Z and I really like <em>The Blueprint III, </em>for the most part.  I still enjoy Jay-Z.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Oddly, Jumpoff added that he is actually rooting for his former foe as he continues to bring some type of needed change to the game and Hip-Hop would essentially fade into nothingness if he was to ever be taken away with the flood of wackiness left to hold down the business.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“If you take him away from Hip-Hop, it's really boring and wack.  Think about it.  You take Jay-Z away from Hip-Hop and what do you have?  Is it the same?  No, it's not the same.  He definitely dissed me on <em>Blueprint III,</em> I don't care what he says, and he definitely probably blackballed the sh*t out of my career, but I love Jay-Z the artist.” </strong></p></blockquote>
<p>This family affair needs to be taken care of quickly.  As the circle begins to open and more throw in their perspectives, the situation could rise to where it isn't necessary.  Too many mouths have too many words and create too many scenarios which only serve in quenching their thirst, but has a negative end result for the actual people involved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shortly after interviewing Beanie Sigel and getting clarity to the shots thrown on the track “Average Cat (What You Talking About)," Charlamagne Tha God was in store for yet another unexpected surprise.</p>
<p>A pink slip.</p>
<p>Monday, Tha God was fired from The Beat.  Originally beside Wendy Williams as <span id="more-14132"></span>a co-host for her show, he made the move to the station in April 2008.  His show ran from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.</p>
<p>On Friday, radio station 100.3 the Beat, let go personalities such as Kiki the First Lady, DJ AJ and Dwight Stone as the station was making the choice to change its format.  Obviously, their history wasn't enough to allow them to ride out with the transition.</p>
<p>Confirming the news through Twitter, the radio personality seemed to not really have any qualms with the station and their decision to move in a different direction even if he wasn't included.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Cthagod #cthagodgotfired cause 100.3 The Beat said they want to move in a different direction.  God bless them.  Thanks for the past 6 months.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>He also sent out a salute to listeners in the Philadelphia area.  Charlamagne added that it's funny with the timing and how Wendy had to take the L when Diddy had her taken from Hot 97 after she exercised her right to dig into Combs.</p>
<p>With that said, rumors are swirling that Jay-Z may have had a hand in him being fired after allowing Sigel to air out his dirty laundry.  If the rumors hold any validity, Jay is setting himself up for failure as it relates to the fans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While Beanie was busy going off on his former Rocafella associates with that infamous Charlemagne Tha God interview, the Jigga man and his longtime connect and homeboy, Memphis Bleek were conclusively silent. Now Bleek's responded to the diss and taken to his Twitter to air out his grievances.</p>
<p>On his @MemphisBleek Twitter page, he made his opinion known and took the high road, deciding not to <span id="more-14009"></span>diss his old label mate.</p>
<p>According to him he had no idea Beans was airing him out on the airwaves. Instead he awoke to a flood of phone calls about the incident. Late in the afternoon he tweeted:</p>
<p>“Just waking up my phone going crazy over this Siegel sh*t.”</p>
<p>Bleek also claims that he saw Sigel at the infamous Powerhouse 93 concert in Philly he first took shots at Jay. While he had undeniable issues with the Jigga man, he seemed to have no beef with him.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“I just seen son at power house wasn't nothing now its something..... I'm lost on that.... Guess that's how the rap game work....”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>One of the most memorable lines in Beanie's “Average Cat” track is when he snitches that Jay called the cops on him during the Powerhouse show. In the line he takes shots at both Jay and Bleek saying,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“So that's telling me F-You Sieg/ So F- You Too and F-Bleek 3."</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>What's Bleek's response to the less than subtle diss? Nothing. He just laughs it off.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“Fu#k bleek 3 haaa that's a good one.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>While he caught the Beans less than subtle undertones, it's doubtful that a response track is in the works. Instead Bleek just wants to talk.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>“And for the rec....I can't diss that's my ni*g we gotta get up an chop it up that's all..He know me that's all I could say...”</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Good for Bleek.  Somethings just aren't worth it, like battling it out with an old friend looking for publicity.</p>
<p>I'm just saying….</p>
