As hip-hop continues to grow and evolve, so has the time honored rap tradition of beef. MCs don’t just craft witty lines aimed at their targets on wax anymore, now they shoot short videos spoofing their adversaries and post them on YouTube, write long tell-all books and, at the most raw level, trade insults over Twitter, in what we like to call, tweef.

So in conjunction with the latest (and strangest) Twitter
beef
between Wale and Osama Bin Laden’s alleged ex-mistress Kola Boof, we decided to give The Notorious B.I.G.’s classic song, “What’s Beef?” a necessary 2011 upgrade. Expect to see #WhatsTweef, to be a trending topic by the end of the day.

Title: “#What’s Tweef?”

[Intro]

Do you know what tweef is?
Do you know what tweef is?
Ask yourself... Do you know what tweef is?
Ha ha ha ha ha/check out this bizarre/
Twitter style used by me, the MC/
I type my jab, you type your jab in, followers we’ll be seein
Will reach the fuckin ceiling, check, check it

[Verse]

I done followed the best of them (un-huh) unfollowed the rest of 'em (uh-huh)
Was about 1000 or more, maybe less of 'em
Typed some big talk, my account just be wylin' on you, just be stylin' on you
(you're so crazy)
Y’all be tweetin’ and deletin’, flip-flop it’s a shame
But them bloggers screen grabbed you so we know you a lame
So next time think twice before you start bitchin’
If you can’t stand the heat, get the fuck out the twittchen

[Chorus]

What's Tweef?
Tweef is 140 characters that equal beef.
Tweef is typing ish online, no looseleaf
Tweef is when I see you
Guaranteed to be press shift #2 (One more time)
What’s tweef?
Tweef is using CAPS LOCK like a freak
Tweef is misspelling words like Freekey Zeke
Tweef is when I see you
Guaranteed to be press shift #2 (One more time)

[Chorus]

What’s tweef?
Tweef is when your ex and new girl beef with tweets
Tweef is when the shady twit pics start to leak
Tweef is when I see you
Guranteed to be press shift #2 (One more time)
What’s tweef?
Tweef is 140 characters that equal beef
Tweef is when your publicist sends a press release
Tweef is when I see you
Guaranteed to be press shift #2...
