what s beef

• notorious big'nin life after death albümünden 2pac'la arasında geçen (çoğunlukla tek taraflı) olaya yorum getiren şarkı. b.i.g'nin her zaman yaptığı gibi adres belirtmeden yazılmıştır. beef hip-hop argosunda "kavga, düşmanlık, rekabet" gibi bir anlama tekabül eder. tam türkçe'ye çevrilemez. şarkıda biggie'nin sokak gangsta'lığından scarface ekolü mafyalığa terfi edişinin havası sapına kadar hissedilir. tehditkar bi havası da vardır, barışçı bir havası da. "böyle gereksiz bir kavga yüzünden ikimiz de tehlikeye gireceğiz" anlamı çıkarılabilir aşağı yukarı. sevdiğim bir şarkıdır.
  
  biggie bu şarkıda şöyle demektedir, her rap çevirisi gibi komik olacak ama ossun;

  annenin sokaklarda güvende olmamasıdır beef
