On ‘The Factor’ host, Chamillionaire said, “I don’t get him, man, but I think there’s a method to his madness and the crazy stuff that he says on Fox News, they always say a lot of crazy stuff… But at that time [when 'Hip Hop Police/Evening News' came out], I felt it was only right, man. The timing for someone to come up and speak on a lot of that crazy stuff that was going on. And now we on to something different.

LL Cool J Talks About Joe Budden & Method Man Beef
LL Cool J spoke with Global Grind about the Joe Budden and Method Man beef, and how when he was coming up it was like a fraternity and that the art form really mattered. “So the battles took on a different significance because of that, because it really was about reputation and it really was about being real and it really was about defending your psychological territory,” LL explained. “That little piece of the mental mindshare, or marketshare you have around the neighborhood. Nowadays it’s about are you making money and are you a businessman. I think the least important thing in hip hop now is hip hop.” Watch the comments below.
