NEW YORK (Reuters) - This week's shooting during a Manhattan radio appearance by one of the biggest names in gangsta rap, a genre known for glorifying guns and misogyny, stemmed from what observers say was a battle between two rivals in the violence-prone industry.
The latest feud in gangsta rap, where men go by such names as Jadakiss and Fat Joe, is between 50 Cent and his former protege The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor and who says he is a drug dealer.
New York's tabloids went to town. "1ST SHOTS IN NEW RAP WAR," was the New York Post headline. Newsday declared, "WAR ERUPTS IN RAPPER'S CAMP." New York police downplayed talk of a new rap war.
