Cam’ron and Mase’s Beef Reminds Us that Hip-Hop is Entertainment. Love the Music. Don’t Believe Everything You Hear.

Two past-their-prime rappers in Mase and Cam’ron engaged in an entertaining beef stemming from old wounds and an overdue bid for New York hip-hop superiority. While nice while it lasted, it served as a reminder that hip-hop is an entertainment art-form that should be regarded as such.

We discuss how the beef displays our tendency to consume hip-hop as if it were reality. Also, how that can be a dangerous habit when it comes to maintaining a proper perspective on life; especially if you are trying to make it in the rap game.
