Beefs are a tradition in hip hop which has reached some appalling depths both in terms of real and manufactured ones. This might be the first one that makes the kinds of statements that are fit for a Pulitzer winner.

This powerful statement about pedophilia being unacceptable and incompatible with hip hop but also statements about what rap music is and should be. Statements about the history and tradition of that genre and its place in the canon of black American art.

I think what happened with Biggie and Pac – which was the the biggest beef arguably until now, meant something in that it reflected the perils of the experiences of racialised urban boys and young men – especially black boys and men. But it was unintentional and a tragedy.

I think Kendrick was real without being real real in the way that only poetry can be and I think rap should be.
