Rap Beefs are a dime a dozen these days, because they sell. They sell books, they sell clothes, they sell DVDs, and occasionally they even sell albums. But we're not buying 90 percent of them, because for every Jay-Z vs. Nas, there are a thousand Drake vs. Commons.
Any given day can be another Drake vs. Pusha vs. Consequence vs. Kanye vs. 50 Cent vs. Dr. Dre vs. Ice Cube vs. Common. In light of Drizzy and Com's beef (which might be one of the silliest beefs ever), we picked through the 25 Corniest Rap Beefs Ever. We may be living in a "catch up, or catch a fade" world, but based off all the fake blood out there, it's more like "ketchup or catch a fade."

I think this may be the first time I've agreed with the #1 on one of your lists.

Oh course niggas is gonna say the Drake and Common beef is whack, these dickriders put Drizzy on the cover. But it's funny how niggas stay tuned in to see what both rappers is going to do next.

As corny as the Jim Jones Tru Life beef seemed, it was real. It wasn't Jay telling Tru to get at Jim - although I bet that helped. Tru once helped protect Jim Jones safety. Tru made a song about fake bloods, and Jim (who is a fake blood) took offense. That's the real reason for the beef. And it does seem that Jim lost his jewels a coupld of times to Tru and Jo Jo Capone. So as corny as it may seem, it was a real street issue. I think Tru's background tells the story.

What about the A Tribe Called Quest/Wreckx-N-Effect blow-up? Bambaataa had to intervene...
