What’s beef, anyway? Is it talking greasy about your daughter for having octuplets after already having six kids? Is it slagging on your tween pop-sensation colleague? Prolly not, but that doesn’t stop everyone and their artificially-inseminated grandmother from taking their feuds to YouTube.
If you’re gonna go the digital route, though, you might want to take a second and get familiar with the new art of war, as pioneered by the original catfighters: rappers! Read on to see the 5 best ways to win a shit-talking video battle…

Don’t look now but cold weather is coming, which means it’s time to re-up on your fall wardrobe. And when it comes to weatherproof gear, where else to look but Canada? Ransom, started in 2005 by Canadian streetwear leader Matt George, is one-third of the United Front umbrella that includes Goodfoot and Nomad.
This is Ransom’s third season, and the line continues to deliver clean, functional, utilitarian pieces that fully rep the Canadian climate and lifestyle. It’s a style-forward update on classic workwear pieces'basically, clothes that will hold you down for many cold seasons to come. And the best part is that the collection won’t kill your wallet. For the moment, Ransom is only available at its stores in Toronto and Vancouver, where you can also cop gear from other high-quality, no-frills brands like Levi’s, Red Wing, Post O’Alls, and Carhartt. Sounds like a worthwhile up-North trip to us, people.
An exclusive look at Ransom’s Fall 2008 collection is below…
