It ended well with this,
"Mess' response is humanizing in the most horrifying way. It reminds us that we are capable of justifying any behavior - no matter how awful - to preserve our sense of who we are: to remain our own heroes. I have little doubt that most of what Mess says in this song is not true, from the house near Lil Wayne that he bought with "ho money", to saving San Quinn's life with his MAC-10. While all his claims are probably objectively false, I'm sure that Messy Marv believes them to be true. He has to believe them in order to still see himself as the protagonist in the bizarre story that is Messy Marv's Life, instead of a self-destructive and petty man who is burning bridges with everyone who ever cared about him, or knows who he really is.
The tragic story that underlies all of Messy Marv's recent music is, I think, what makes him so compelling to watch. On the surface, it is just rap. But when you realize that Messy Marv is an actual person - not just an entertainer - it's hard not to sense something deeply sad about the music he makes these days. Rappers invite you to hear about the minutia of their everyday life, with Twitter this phenomenon is exaggerated even further; Messy Marv's life, we learn, must be very, very empty.
The strangest thing is, despite the fact that he reminds you of all of your worst qualities, you can't help but root for him, perhaps because he reminds you of you at your worst. Messy Marv's notion of who Messy Marv is might be based on lies and half-truths, but we all lie to ourselves about who we are, right?"

Fuckin retarded, this shit is too played out.
I know this 'beef' didn't escalate like others however I guess I must be a dying breed...if someone ever starts 'funk' where they talk about fucking my ____ or wanting to kill me, we are enemies for life. No amount of money or sweet talk takes back those venemous thoughts. I guess in a fantasy world they are just fantasy threats though.
