Well the fires are under control. People trying to return to normalcy FDR style...
In other news, does anybody follow Hip Hop feuds/battles? I started following this Lil Wayne Vs. Gillie da Kid squabble. It was recently brought to my attention and I think it's kind of funny/interesting like a train wreck, like reality TV. These feuds, or "Beefs," always do a lot for publicity (Ex. Eazy E Vs. Ice Cube, Jay-Z Vs Nas, 50 Cent Vs. The Game/Cam'Ron, Ludacris Vs T.I. ... the list is endless). However, some of them can get out of hand. Lil Kim was convicted of perjury concerning a shootout between her entourage and that of Capone/Noreaga. Young Buck's hotel afterparty in Washington got shot up by "rival rappers." Of course the most notorious of all disputes ended up with Tupac and Notorious B.I.G. both dead. Somebody got shot over the shit with 50 Cent and The Game as well, who together have survived a combined 16 gunshot wounds.
So, the Lil Wayne dis is probably about a year old now, but I think it's still unresolved and still talked about. Lil Wayne aka Weezy F. Baby, Young Carter, Birdman Jr. dissed Gillie Da Kid in a song, and the shit has been going back and forth since. Some shit you might not have known about Lil' Wayne; he had a daughter at 14, and before he signed to Cash Money Records he shot himself in the chest on accident and put himself on life support for a few weeks. He appears in a controversial photo where it looks like he's kissing Cash Money Records founder, Brian "Baby" Williams aka Stunna, or Birdman, whom he also refers to as his father.
Gillie Da Kid, who also calls himself the King of Philly, claimed to have written some of Lil Wayne's lyrics. Early in his career he signed with, but left Cash Money Records. Now, there are rumors that 50 Cent and G-Unit are interested in signing him. Early this year he got arrested along with 5 other people when the FBI found a half a million dollars worth of weed in 2 houses allegedly run by Gillie. It was something like 90 lbs of marijuana. Gillie wears a piece on his chain that he says has 1096 diamonds in it. Lil Wayne borrowed it to wear in a video. Now there's shit between Jay-Z and LL Cool J too. I didn't know Hip Hop was a such a fucking soap opera. Holla atcha boy!
Here's one of the videos in response to the dis
Though they don't usually end up with somebody dying, rock band feuds can be fun too. Dwarves singer, Blag Dahlia, got hit over the fucking head with a bottle by Queens of the Stone Age frontman, Josh Homme after saying "This one goes out to Queens of the Trust Fund/You slept on my floor/And now I'm sleeping through your motherfucking records" in a song on the Dwarves last album. One of the Gallagher brothers from Oasis said that he hoped Damon Albarn of Blur "catches AIDS and Dies." It was pretty rad when Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks wore a F.U.T.K. (Fuck U Toby Keith) shirt to the American Country Music Awards. Seriously, fuck that guy. Jack White really fucked up Von Bondies frontman Jason Stollsteimer for something he said in the press. The Dandy Warhols and Brian Jonestown Massacre feud was pretty sweet. Anton from BJM is fucking crazy, and sent personalized gunshot shells, prompting the Dandies to file for a restraining order. But come on, Marilyn Manson and My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy/Bravery and The Killers? Snorefest.

i think jack white and jason whatshisface were fighting over a girl actually.
anton should be institutionalized. he's a soap all unto himself. god bless.
According to VH1 - "White insists Stollsteimer wasn't badly injured and that he dramatized the situation in order to drag White "through the mud." He added that the incident followed two years of Stollsteimer badmouthing White to friends and the press and insisted that the photo of Stollsteimer's bruised and battered face, which was widely circulated to the media, didn't accurately illustrate his injuries."
I'm sure it's likely to have been over a girl, but the official press/legal offering says otherwise.
Ramdac - "Apparently, there have been ongoing problems between Jack and Jason over Jack’s role as producer of Von Blondie’s first album"
BBC News - "In court, White said he confronted the Von Bondies star at the city's Majestic Theatre because he had heard allegations made against him in the press and to mutual acquaintances."
jesus...this was so long ago. jack was dating the redheaded one and she left him and hooked up with whathisface and then the two boys got all stupid with each other. i have no sources to cite. you win.
It's not an argument. I'm just saying what I heard and what was said in court and in the press. Ok, the rumors I heard back then, and they are just rumors, were that Jason Stollsteimer started a rumor about Jack White having an affair with the bassist of Blanche, Tracee Miller, who is married to the singer of Blanche, Dan Miller. Blanche was the band playing at the show that they fought at. Dan Miller is quoted as having said "I sympathise with Jason, as he got hurt so bad," sighs Dan.
"But I sympathise too for Jack. He put up with such a lot of disrespect from Jason." Tracee is that cute redhead, and Jack White's been in bands with Dan, and they've both been in White Stripes videos. So, it probably was over a girl. So, technically, you win.
