As we come upon the 8th anniversary of the death of the Notorious BIG, we gathered a few Hip Hop luminaries to speak about beefs within the rap industry and what we need to do about it.
On our panel we had author and long time activist Kevin Powell who spoke about the mistakes that were made when he wrote for Vibe Magazine at the height of the 2Pac/Biggie Beef.
We also had author Adisa Banjoko who gave a more indepth breakdown about his insightful essay 'Blood Money...'here adissa spoke about the ways in which major media outlets profit from Black death
Lastly we had Candyman from the group The Havnots. Candy came up under 2Pac who he saw as an older brother. At 21 he gave us a lot to think about as he focused his remarks on the role Cointel-pro plays in hyping todays beefs as they did in the past.
