What’s My Name? - Changing your name is definitely a rite of passage for rappers. In fact, those times when a rapper has done the whole name-change thing, it’s marked the beginning of a new era and reinventions are always welcome. This summer, another rapper joins the ranks of the name-changing elite with an interesting pick. You won’t be able to guess who the newbie is. – Jon Reyes and BET Staff(Photos from left: Isaac Brekken/Getty Images for iHeartMedia, Kevin Winter/Getty Images for iHeartMedia)

Making Up Is Hard to Do - After the beef comes the reconciliation – it’s just the circle of life in hip-hop, and at times it’s almost as entertaining as the beef itself. Over the years, the rap beefs have added up and so have the peace treaties. Some of them last all but a minute, others are momentous occasions that we still look back at fondly. After a seminal rap beef claimed the lives of two of the greatest hip-hop artists in history, a rap reconciliation is in the heart of every rap fan who gets amped up over beef between two MCs. Just yesterday (August 9) 50 Cent and Cam'ron squashed their long-time beef by getting together and having a couple of laughs. Let’s look back at more of the best squashed beefs. – Jon Reyes(Photo: 50 cent via Instagram)

Allow her to reintroduce herself... - The not-so-elusive swagger jackers are a thing that many in hip-hop have had to deal with throughout history. As it turns out, First Lady Michelle Obama has a lot in common with many of the rappers and artists on this list you’re about to see — and she has Melania Trump to thank for that. If you haven’t already heard, last night at the Republican National Convention, Mrs. Trump totally swagger jacked much of our first lady’s speech from the 2008 Democratic National Convention and, well, the internet had a field day. So we decided to pay homage to some notorious swagger jackers. You’re in good company, Mrs. Trump. — Jon Reyes(Photos from Left: Spencer Platt/Getty Images, Paras Griffin/BET/Getty Images for BET)

However, there are many moments over the years where violence wasn’t the end result of disagreements and peace ensued.
