Are There Rules in Hip Hop Beef?

In summer 2018, Pusha-T and Drake’s feud revived the discussion about whether there are rules to rap beef. On Pusha’s diss track, “The Story of Adidon,” the G.O.O.D. Music president alluded to the illness of Drake’s close friend and collaborator, Noah “40” Shebib. While Drake thought the lyric went too far, there’s a long history of rappers straying outside their intended target—including the OVO boss himself, who named Pusha’s fiancée on “Duppy Freestyle.”
