Never-ending story: Stupid beefs - Messy Marv goes at Too $hort

While the culture of battleing and writing diss tracks as well as bangin on wax has ever been a huge factor in hip-hop and certainly helped it to let it grow, you can't question that the rap history has experienced a lot of senseless and stupid verbal duels.

This time around, we can certainly say that someone picked the wrong one. The Boy Boy Young Mess (smh) better known as Messy Marv attacked bay area legend Too $hort via twitter out of nowhere. Claiming him fake, whack and whatsoever, Messy clearly tried to start something. Plain stupid, when the attacked person is not playing the ball back. In his player manner, Too $hort just said he doesn't know where this comes from and that he still respects Mess and invited him to meet up in Oakland or anywhere in the bay to squash issues.


As you may know, Mess is said to be very abusive with drugs, especially cocaine, within the last years and thsi surely was an influence on this topic. While Mess' music started to become worse with every mixtape he dropped since 2007, he managed it to keep his name in the streets, also by beefing with the likes of San Quinn or his former fellow group Click Clack Gang. Too $hort on the other hand went a away a bit from the club bouncer hip-hop and got back to his more funky side of music and dropped two decent EP's, proving that Short Dog is still one of the most entertaining rappers to ever touch the mic.


This beef seems to be nothing but a pathetic promotion move of Messy Marv and now he even leaked a diss track towards Too $hort, called "Class Of '84 (Fuck Too $hort)". As I said, Too $hort is not the one to be beefing with and I don't think we will ever see a response track to this, but he doesn't have to do it. Bay area veteran JT The Bigga Figga took Too Short's part and dropped "Take One", calling Messy Marv a hypocrit. The quality of JT's track is questionable but the move itself shows how much love Short Dog still got.

Check both track below:





So let's see who's next on Messy's list, he will surely continue with the immaturity. In this case, he is really a "Young Mess"...

Soopafly readies "Best Kept Secret" for fall 2011

It's not like Soopafly was hidden under a bunch of stones within the last years, as he was affiliated with several projects such as Westurn Union aka Dubb Union, but you could argue that he was very silent on a solo tip. So the title of his upcoming album "Best Kept Secret" seems more than appropriate, considering that he never got the credit he deserved for his production and delivery.

Though hist last record "Bangin West Coast" was not really astonishing to me, I will not dare to miss a new Soopafly song when it drops. So today I am happy to announce that Soopafly is really back at it! One of the songs featured on his album will be the amazing Terrace Martin collaboration "G-Funk Martian", which is just wonderful music. Music that we need. No surprise that Terrace had his hands on it. But this is a real banger, Soopafly isn't even cussing, he just giving you the motivation to vibe. So check out "G-Funk Martian" ft. Terrace Martin.



The boys from dubcnn weren't sleeping neither, so they exclusively dropped the other leaked song, named like the album "Best Kept Secret". This song features Goldie Loc, Kokane and Maylay. Now if that ain't west coast...

Check "Best Kept Secret" feat. Goldie Loc, Kokane and Maylay:
