BEEF ALERT: MOS DEF DOESN’T THINK JAY-Z IS THE “GREATEST RAPPER OF ALIVE”!

mosdefjay-z

Do I smell a beef brewing?! I think I so! Conscious rapper, Mos Def is in a tizzy about Jay-Z being considered the “Greatest Rapper Alive”. Wondering why?! Mos believes that Jay doesn’t deserve the title because there are rap legends such as Slick Rick and Rakim who are very much alive that are way much worthier of being called the “Greatest Rapper Alive” because they actually paved the way. Hmm…it sounds like Mos Def wants it with Hov! He says,

“My response was to me seeing an article where [Jay-Z] was referred to, with trademarks following it, as the ‘Greatest Rapper Alive’.Now that don’t have nothin’ to do with me, but if you saying that, that’s a trade claim…If you saying that, you saying you better than Slick Rick, who’s still very alive and well? You saying you better than Rakim? You saying you better than Black Thought? People making that claim have never been in a position to defend that in an open forum.”

Pop the hood for more beefing…

He adds,

“I’m not talking about making a diss record or trying to go in on somebody’s girl…When people start coming out and making claims they’re gonna have to defend, like, who have you had to defend them against? It’s certainly been with people not on your level.”

Does Mos Def have a point or is he just another miserable rapper hating on Jay-Z ?!
