In-State Rivalry: The Georgia Edition

You know the expression: crabs in a barrel. If there's any place where the adage applies, it's Georgia. The "all-in-it together now" mindset of the state's nascent early '90s scene, helmed by Dungeon Family, Jermaine Dupri and others is long gone; with Atlanta now one of rap's undisputed meccas, the stakes, and rewards, are way higher, and the state's last decade has been rife with hometown beef. In the latest skirmish, ATL up-and-comer Alley Boy fires shots at Young Jeezy and T.I. on his new mixtape cut "I Want It," rapping, "I want war, I want in." At press time, it's not yet clear if AB will get what he wants, but stay tuned. If Georgia hip hop's history is any indication, things could get interesting. Click on to check out these other rap beefs that prove things ain't always peachy in Georgia.
