You ever get into an argument and someone wants to jump in the middle. Like, they say they are neutral but if they are neutral they’re not on your side. There is a saying ” The first one to jump in the middle is the first one to get knocked out.” If there is some sort of beef going on you don’t want to play sides. Like Nicki Minaj in one of her beefs “Pick a side.” Either pick a side or do both parties a favor and stay out of other people’s business.

There are conflicts every day. People get into fights and arguments over the dumbest things. Rap beef happens most of the time not because one party wronged another but because they just don’t like the other rapper. There doesn’t have to be any real reason for the hatred. It’s just “I don’t like that mother F**ker.” Problems start and they try to involve as many people as possible. There is strength in numbers so the more people they can get on their side the stronger they feel. Me personally, don’t have time or interest to join the masses off a cliff. When beef happens I pretend to be a vegetarian. I have little to no desire to jump into a conflict without good reason.

It’s okay to pick and choose your fights. You really have to choose your battle wisely. You don’t stand up for someone or some cause just to regret it later. You don’t need to put yourself in some drama because it’s a hot topic. If you are going to pick a side make sure you’re ready to go all in. If it’s worth fighting for it’s worth dying for. People are too serious extremes for the champions, so you going to have to be ready to fight tooth and nail for the side you choose. Ain’t no such thing as a halfway crook. People will kill you over the colors you wear, over the music you play, and just because you are down with their opposition. So be careful who and what you support. It can make or break you.

Choose which arguments you support and stick by your decisions. When beef happens review it for a distance. It’s going to draw you in but you don’t have to get involved. Stay cool and aware, don’t make other people drama your problem. Stay clear of issues that may endanger your personal health and or safety. Good luck and happy swerving the BS.
