Nothing gets the attention of rap fans like a feud. Philadelphia rapper Beanie Sigel - a.k.a the Broad Street Bully - used to be the best of buddies with Jay-Z. No more, apparently. Last week at the Power 99 Powerhouse concert at the Wachovia Center, Beanie dropped the lines, "I'm a grown a-- man, I don't sit on n----- laps/I'm looking for gifts out of Santa Claus' sack." And according to MTV.com, those rhymes are featured on his new song "What You Talkin' Bout (I Ain't Your Average Cat)." (Though in the song snippet available on MTV.com you'll find below, they are not heard.) This morning, Sigel - real name: Dwight Grant - went on radio station 100.3 F.M. (The Beat) to talk to deejay Charlemagne Tha God about his failed relationship with his former mentor and Roc-A-Fella records kingpin, and explain such be-careful-or-I'll-tell Beyonce-lyrics as "I was a fly on the wall, sh-- I witnessed/I can say sh-- that will make B look at you different." Part of the problem, it seems, is that Jay-Z is no longer saving spots for Sigel on his high profile album releases, such as the new Blueprint 3. "I'm not really dissing Jay," he claims, but "I feel he gave out a lot of pairs of shoes on that album. I felt my feet was meant for a couple of them."

I've been a fan of Beanie ever since he rapped the lines "I'll run up in yo crib, put 1 in yo lid, your baby cryin, pop pop, put 1 in da crib." Shootin cryin babies is so gangsta!!!— youpeoplehaveissues- Man,you people need to get lives. Firstly, these "hip-hop idiots", or at least Jay-Z, is richer and more popular than you'll ever be, because he's a talented artist and you're just some punk posting on the internet about how "it's funny when they...[shoot] each other up!" Dude, read some real freakin' news. Nobody's shooting anyone else here, much less in the world of hip-hop these days.— NwK
- My beef with Jay-Z was why did he perform last night before the start of Game 2. This isn't a concert, it's a baseball game. The only musical act before the game should be the anthem.— catnameddomino

- I love it. More hard hitting journalism that the Inky wants us to "Keep Local" Will the bankruptcy court force the Inky to drop the nonsense?— Left_Turn
