The Blackest White Kid You Know presents: Rap Beef Yo!

These playas are straight up trippin', yo! While their teams battle it out on the ball field, Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z would rather duke it out on the airways. Sigel released the track "What You Talkin' About" verbally abusing Jay. Sigel later went on to say at a local Philly radio station that it was a retort to lines Jay-Z spit on "Already" off of his Blueprint III.

Aside from the diss track, Sigel also said that Jay-Z had allegedly asked police to remove Sigel at Power 99's Powerhouse concert in Philly; a concert where Jay was headlining.

“Jay's in another place and I understand that. He did what he did as far as signing people to Roc-A-Fella Records, you did that,” Sigel told 100.3 The Beat host Charlamagne Tha God on Friday. “But as far as the push that people coulda got that really could have did things, you didn’t do that. If you look at 50 Cent - no disrespect to the G-Unit, cause I love the way 50 Cent did with his dogs - but if you look at it, them dudes got more money and more bread than anybody in State Property. Because 50 made sure of that. 50 took his people on tour and paid them, not tell them it was a good look for them to be on tour.”

Jay-Z responded to some of Sigel's allegations while appearing at a press conference for his new DJ Hero Renegade Edition video game at Montreal Canada's Bell Centre.

“What people choose to do when they obtain that type of success, at some point you gotta look in the mirror and look at yourself,” Jay continued. “Beanie Sigel had a record deal, a record label and a clothing line…and never went platinum. Ever. I don’t know in the history of rap has anyone done so much with so little. So, I don’t know what more can you do for a person at that point. A record deal – that’s normal. A record label and a clothing line. If that’s not pushing the person…shit."
