MEGABRAIN SPEAKS ON SA's MOST EXCITING BEEF!!

The AKA vs. L-tido beef has brought some vibe and life into to SA's hip hop. It is arguably the most talked about beef in the history of SA hip hop. The beef merely started out as AKA decided to update his Facebook status by voicing his opinion on L-tido's new track and then BOOM BOOM POW- SA's biggest beef was born. In case you missed the status update by the " Mistakes" rapper, this is exactly what he wrote:

"*Look, i respect Maggz, L.E.S and Tido but that joint I heard on the HOT 99 this week must of been the WORST song i have ever heard from any of them! How you gonna rep "Joburg City" when u sound like some American Knock-offs? Come on guys......"

The status update resulted in 71 comments, most probably the most comments that AKA has ever had since starting a Facebook account. This was crazy. Even Sean Pages and Vigi were seen commenting.

As a hip hop head from Capcity Rapcity, I do approve of the beef. Beefing is part if the hip hop culture. Beef has a special place in the heart of hip hop. But then let me school you cats on what I think are the requirements and rules that hiphoppas should abide by when such happens.

1)Principle 12 of the Hip Hop Principles states that "Hiphop Kulture does not intentionally or voluntarily participate in any form of hate, deceit, prejudice or theft at any time. At no time shall Hiphop Kulture engage in any violent war within itself. Those who intentionally violate the principles of this Declaration of Peace or intentionally reject its advice, forfeit by their own actions the protections set forth herein."Just to make myself free, that's not how I spell culture, the Hip Hop Principles banner spells it like that and I can't change it. I won't elaborate on this issue, I believe that the words were clearly set out for everybody to understand.

2) Beef is only good if at least one artist/camp benefits... whether in improved album sales, exposure or endorsements. I suggest that both artists just use the platform to show South Africa that they can indeed make great music.

3) I have also seen that when beefs get squashed, the artists involved actually make great and better music together. For example, Nas and Jigga had beef, and now they make great music together, better than what they did before the beef. Ludacris and T.I also had beef, but the songs Top of the world and Wish you would are one of the best tracks I've heard from the artists. But then are we going to see this beef being squashed??

4) People were also asking if the Fassie camp can also join in on the beef and diss AKA. Well, I already think that they are part of this whole thing already. In the diss track by AKA, he talks about L-tido( duh!), DaLes, Bongani and the Glitz gang. There ain't no rule that prohibits the camp to gang up on the fella.

Hopefully this beef will be squashed soon,but for now sit back and enjoy with your favourite salads.
