		At the time, two of the biggest labels in rap were locked in a noisy and highly public brawl.
		That's about all that's been said on the matter, aside from one theory that JMJ was involved in a drug deal gone bad.) Much of rap is still rooted in thug culture, and the language and structure of the Mafia are still the genre's guiding metaphor.
		Nobody believes that rap is through with violence, nor would anyone predict that another Biggie-style killing is out of the question.

		According to Blow, rap is talking in rhyme to the rhythm of a beat, whereas hip-hop is a culture, a way of life for a society of people.

	CNN.com - Rap's latest feud exposes its downfall - July 15, 2002
		(Entertainment Weekly) -- Feuds are as much a part of hip-hop history as two turntables and a microphone, so it's easy to gloss over the Nas-Jay-Z flap as another in a long line of MC battles.
		In a lot of ways, it's exactly like past clashes involving LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee, and Dr. Dre and Eazy-E. But in the most recent round of barbs, the hip-hop heavyweights moved into a realm of realism that just might change the industry forever.
		Let's hope that, for once, something besides acrimony and homophobia will come out of a rap feud, because the real fights are yet to come.
