Hyperbrolic: When Rap Beef Gets Ridiculous

If you're having a little trouble making out exactly what the above photo is, allow us to clarify. What you're looking at is an image of Royce Da 5'9" aiming a rocket launcher directly at your dome. Well, not really. It is a rocket launcher, yes, but it's meant for Ray Benzino. See, from what we understand, Benzino dissed Royce on some song which led Crooked I to respond, which begat a video from Benzino dissing him back while brandishing some artillery, all of which led to Royce and one of his duns filming the above video with the rocket launcher.

So, yeah, there you have it. Another rap beef made silly by a crazy, unneeded escalation that will more than likely continue to escalate before it fizzles out without either dude needing so much as a Band-Aid (we hope).
