An aging rapper has engaged in a battle with an Iraq War veteran, claiming that being a rapper is a far more dangerous gig than engaging the enemies of the United States in close combat.
Jim Jones, a 43-year-old lyrical artist from Harlem, NYC, squared of against Mez, a USMC Iraq War veteran who took issue with Jones’ comment about how “being a rapper was more dangerous than being a Soldier.”
“Here are facts,” he began, abandoning any attempt at grammar, spelling, punctuation and civility. “Every ***** I grew up with is either dead or in jail so u wanna compare death tolls it won’t add up. U went to army n met ***** u never knew or grew up wit. I grew up with all these ***** all my life so it hit different. Y’all was shootin’ at kids n innocent bystanders in the midst of shootin’ at the enemy… We was at war when we was born.”
