Breaking Down Jay-Z And Lil Wayne's Beef (VIDEOS)

Lil Wayne and Jay-Z are arguably the two biggest names in the hip-hop game. So what happens when these power houses decide to turn on each other? A little friendly competition never hurt anybody, but what's the deal with these two?

They've collaborated on Jay-Z's 2007 "Hello Brooklyn," Lil Wayne's 2008 "Mr. Carter," and the insanely popular "Swagga Like Us" with T.I. and Kanye West also in 2008, which shows they haven't always been at odds.

But sometimes friendships, especially in hip-hop, have been known to go sour.

In case you missed it, the lyrics making headlines since yesterday off Lil Wayne's "It's Good" are as follows...

Talkin’ ’bout Baby money? I got your Baby money / Kidnap your bitch, get that how-much-you-love-your-lady money

Here Lil Wayne semi-explicitly threatens to kidnap Beyoncé, a ’90s style rap-beef scenario that we rarely ever hear anymore. Yeah, he took it there.

The shots Lil Wayne took came as a response to Jay-Z's "H.A.M." diss which dropped back in early January. Jay's line is as follows...

I’m like really, half a billi, nigga? Really, you got Baby money? / Keep it real with niggas, niggas ain’t got my lady money

So how did this all start? What probed Jay-Z to go at Lil Wayne and Baby earlier this year? Is this just a friendly beef or something more? We broke it down for you starting from the very beginning. Check it out!
