Cam’ron & Jim Jones Need Attention, Fire Shots at Kanye on “Toast” (Listen & Download)

(IJuelz isn't on the track, but I'll take any opportunity I can get to post this pic)

Just when you thought the beef game was dead and buried, the last few months have seen more beef being carved up than a Benihanna. (And no, I'm not even counting Nick Cannon's ridiculousness as beef.) Seemingly out of nowhere, Diplomats and once again BFFs Cam'ron and Jim Jones decided to start firing shots at Kanye over his "Runaway" instrumental on "Toast". Um....ok. Does anyone know what's going on here?



First off, dem be fightin words: "Kanye, you a sucka nigga / Dissed Dame, so my attitude, fuck a nigga / Sucka, Jigga / How you gon' live with that? / Took ya beat, now come get it back."

For the record, that means Cam just rhymed "nigga" with "nigga" and "Jjigga", and then "that" with "back". Not exactly a legendary performance. Anyway, what I'd really like to figure out is why.

I know Diplomats have had a simmering beef brewing with Jay since their Roc-A-Fella days, but the Kanye shots feel random, especially since Kanye produced for Cam on "Diplomatic Immunity", "Come Home With Me" and "Purple Haze", plus invited Cam to appear on "Late Registration". Apparently they're taking issue with something Yeezy said about the completely broke Dame Dash - does anyone know what? And suddenly they're soldiers for Dame? This feels to me like they're just trying to get attention, and Kanye's getting more press than anyone right now, so they picked him out of the crowd.

Any hypotheses from RefinedHype Nation?
