There was a time when people could go to the club or go out dancing and not fear for their lives. Nowadays, it’s rare if a fight doesn’t break out. Carlos is going to the club to unwind, yet he can’t even do that because he has to worry about his safety.

We use the word “beef” to describe conflict. Oftentimes, beef itself is the reason for conflict. There isn’t enough of it to go around, yet we use the word to describe the act of fighting over it.

We can fight all we want, but there will still be problems in the world and there will still be mouths to feed.

In 1992, at the “Truc Picnic” in California, 2Pac helped gain the support of Crips and Bloods in order to sign the “Code of Thug Life”- a set of codes created by Pac and put in place as the law of the streets.

Double entendre:

• “Let’s start something”- or “Do you wanna start something”- is a provoking statement. It can be perceived as a way to start a fight or “beef”.
• “Let’s start something” like a movement. Let’s start a movement together to end the fighting between our brothers.

Translation:
“You are my brother.”

Translation:
“Brother, my name is Carlos. We already know each other.”

There are girls that key their boyfriend’s car when they find out he’s cheated on them. We have Carrie Underwood to thank for that.
