FROM TODAY'S MTV NEWS.COM MIXTAPE MONDAYS Freddie Foxxx DISSES Rakim Someone is getting ready to do the absolutely unthinkable: call Rakim out on a record by name. It's not going to be anything like the subliminal sparring that was rumored to be going on between Rakim and Big Daddy Kane in the '80s. This person is going to dis the God, one of the greatest MCs ever. Who has enough courage to do so? None other than Mr. Fearless himself, Freddie Foxxx a.k.a. Bumpy Knuckles. The song is called "The King Is Down" and appears on his new LP, Amerikkkan Black Man."I will eat Rakim's ass alive on any record, any stage," Bumpy Knuckles asserted recently. "When I finish with him, every bit of legendary status he had is gonna go out the window. I swear on everything I stand on, I will eat that n---a alive, bar by bar. I'll tell him to his muthaf---in' face."So now you're gasping for air, and wondering why Freddie ??? a legendary hip-hop figure in his own right, who's earned respect for street pedigree as well as rap skills ??? is going at Ra. Well according to Foxxx, it goes back to the '80s in Wyandanch, New York, where Foxxx's rap team Supreme Force used to be competitive with Ra's team the Love Brothers. This was pre-Eric B. and Rakim."We got a history, you know. We got a real long history," Foxxx explained. "We from the same part of town. Ra has always had an attitude towards me that he was better than me ??? on the mic and more successful. How dare he think he can out-rhyme me. He has one style, that's all he's ever had."What really got Foxxx upset, he said, was a Q&A with Rakim he read on hip-hop Web site Halftime Online. Rakim was asked about a battle that supposedly took place back in the day between the Love Brothers and Supreme Force squad."I never f---ing turned down a battle with that muthaf---er!" Rakim is quoted as saying. "Foxxx wasn't ferocious like that. Foxxx had two other cats that used to rhyme with him. They were a good group, but Foxxx wasn't ferocious like that baby pa.""I read the article and it set me off," Foxxx said. "He said I'm 'not ferocious.' How dare he? His ego kicked in. I said I'm gonna let the world who he really is. People are only calling him a legend because of what he did with Eric B. Everything after that was wack. Nobody will say it to his face."Foxxx said he's not sure when the dis record will be coming out, but his LP is slated for sometime in February. WWE champion John Cena and Talib Kweli rap on a record called "Give it to the A&R," while the Alchemist, Pete Rock, DJ Scratch and DJ Premier produced a myriad of the records."I'm too old to be chasing publicity," Foxxx said when asked if he really has a legitimate gripe with Rakim or if he's just doing it for hype for his album. "I don't need the publicity. I ain't no hater. But when I see he's so quick to always shoot me in the foot, enough is enough. Why would I want to get recognition on Rakim? He's nothing to me. Y'all see him differently than I do. On the song, I never called his name. We used to call him 'Pop' back in the day. I don't call him 'Rakim' on the record, I call him 'Pop.' "Bumpy Knuckles also said he dares Rakim to come back at him on wax. "Turn your mic on, B," he said defiantly. "I want him to put me in my place."Rakim is on tour and could not be reached for comment. 
Freddie, I love ya, pa... but this can only be a very, very bad look. PLEASE reconsider!!!

...don't tell Freddie I said nothin'.
Well, if you were the also ran in that story, wouldn't you harbor some resentment? i'm not saying foxx is right. but, it can explain his jealousy and beef. not to mention all the other ancient history-rivalry.
Is Rakim's answer track gonna be on the OST of Grumpy Old Men 3??
i like his answer better. can i change mine?
- spidey
when you dis Rakim you dis yourself.
last fuggin' t-shirt i ever buy from this dude...
OHHHHH.. I wasn't talking about YOU, my friend!!!!
granted, that t-shirt is more than i've EVAR spent on Freddie Foxx, so i don't even know what I'm doing justifying that folls beef.
but, i like to play lo advocato al diablo, i guess.
Only you if you enjoy the warmth of a nutsac against your cheek and nose area. If not then I guess not you, unfortunately.
everyone with even a scintilla of intelligence knows that the only strutter I dis without provocation and hate with a passion is faux rillz
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................
Yeah, I know y'all dudes don't care about nuthin' but the new Jeezy, Weezy and Sneezy mix cd's and don't want to hear about washed up has been rappers and their irrelevant beefs. Young (and actually not very young at all) folls that u are. Sadly, this is your world now. Alas, what is a real schitter to do?
don't bite the hand that fed you
inadvertent self-deprecation alert! Freddie's like, "if I can beat him, he will have lost all credibility!!"
Shut the fuck up, who are you? Dudes can't detect when people are acting stupid on purpose. Get a life.
This actually might be a good listen. I've liked Bumpy Knucks stuff post Freddie Foxxx days, but I wish he woulda solidified his name in the "golden era pantheon" by actually getting the album released after the single "So Tough." I used to (and still occasionally) play that cassingle toughtough.
