No Mas! 5 Reasons Lil Wayne Should Stop Throwing Shots at Jay-Z
Enough is enough, Lil Wayne. Over the course of the last year or so, you and Jay-Z have thrown several well-calculated shots at one another. First, Jay landed a jab on "H.A.M." after Birdman insinuated that you were richer than Hov. On that track, he rapped, "I'm like, 'Really, half a billi?' N----, really, you got Baby money/Keep it real with n-----, n----- ain't got my lady money." Then, you fired back on "It's Good" off Tha Carter IV when you rapped, "Talkin' 'bout Baby money? I got your baby money/Kidnap you b----, get that 'How much you love your lady?' money." You both traded words about your beef through the press and seemingly shrugged off whatever perceived beef existed between the two of you. And, most recently, you went at Jay again the night before the 2012 Grammy Awards when you got on stage at a YMCMB party and rapped, "I met a bad red bone, I took the b---- home/I asked her what she want to watch, she said, 'Surely not the Throne." Which is why we need to tell you something, Weezy: Enough.
It's not that we don't enjoy a good rap beef. In fact, whatever rift existed between you and Jay was interesting to us once upon a time. But we think it's time for you to stop throwing shots at Jay. Why? Well, we've got five good reasons why you should dead whatever negative feelings you've got for Jay-Z and move on. Please let your pre-Grammy shots be the last one you throw. Because, truthfully, we've had enough. And so have you.—Chris Yuscavage

JAY-Z AND LIL WAYNE BEEF
REASON 1
Reason #1: You and Jay-Z started a beef for one of the lamest reasons of all-time.
In the grand scheme of things, you know what's not important? Whether or not you have more money than Jay-Z. We're sure your ego wants you to be the winner. But the bottom line is that you're both filthy rich and have more money than you could ever possibly spend. So, what's the sense in sitting around and hating one another because you've both got a lot of money? There are people out here who don't have two nickels to rub together and you're beefing over who has a bigger bank account. Seems silly when you look at it like that, huh?
REASON 2
Reason #2: Jay-Z isn't going to respond to you anytime soon.
Why haven't rappers realized this yet? If you diss Jay-Z, the absolute best-case scenario is that Jay will donate one bar (and maybe less—word to 50 Cent!) to you sometime in the distant future. And that bar will probably contain a subliminal diss that Jay won't cop to making anyway. So, what's the point in throwing shots at him? In the end, you'll end up looking petty, Wayne. Which is not how you want to look at this point in your career.
REASON 3
Reason #3: You should be above dissing other rappers to get attention.
Hey, Wayne, we don't know if you realize this, but...You're Lil-freakin'-Wayne! You don't have to diss Jay-Z to get on the rap blogs and make everyone pay attention to you. You could send out a tweet and get the same response. So stop trying to bait Jay-Z into a war of words. It's only going to start bringing the wrong kind of attention to you.
REASON 4
Reason #4: We'd much rather hear a quality freestyle from you than you dissing another rapper.
Know what we haven't heard in awhile? A really, really great new Lil Wayne verse. And that's partly because you haven't really tried to deliver one to us, Wayne. Forget an entire song, a mixtape, or, hell, even an album. At this point, we'd settle for one 2-minute freestyle over one of the hot beats of the moment. Is that really too much to ask?
REASON 5
Reason #5: It's pretty clear that the beef between you and Jay-Z isn't that serious.
If you and Jay were really all that upset at one another, you'd probably be making a way bigger deal out of this than you are now. Instead of throwing jabs, you'd be recording entire songs about him and trying to land a knockout punch. The fact that you're not doing that—and the fact that Jay-Z spoke to MTV last year and basically downplayed the entire situation between you two—lets us know that this isn't a beef that we should be taking too seriously. So then, why are you taking it so seriously? Stop throwing rocks at the Throne, Wayne. It's for your own good.
