Hip Hop pioneer Vansilk has decided enough is enough with all the
recent battles and has stepped up an offer he made to Jay-Z last year.
He wants Jigga and Nas to head into the emcee arena and battle for 2
million dollars. He wants other artists like KRS, Nelly, Beanie
Sigal, Jadakiss, Ja Rule and DMX to battle for a million dollars a
piece.
Van silk notes that he's spoken with some major players to secure the
funds and is set to go.' I want these guys to stop messing around..
Lets pout up or shut up', Vansilk said.
For those who are unfamiliar with Vansilk he is one of Hip Hop's
original promoters. His legacy goes all the way back to the mid
1970s. He's the guy responsible for putting together Hip Hop's first
pay per view shows including 'Rap Mania' and 'Sisters in the Name of
Rap' . He and Don King's son were the first to actually put together
a Celebrity Boxing match.. This was done way before Fox. Folks may
recall that event which featured Mele-Mel, Parrish from EMPD, Kurtis
Blow. Hector Camacho, Tommy Hearns and Larry Holmes.
Below is Vansilk's actual press release.
