While beefing might be the name of the game, Ice-T thinks it has become too dangerous in Hip-Hop music.

During an interview on the “Boss Talk 101” podcast, the West Coast legend compared today’s Rap beef to his previous decades, and pointed to social media as an amplifier in spoiling the fun to raise tensions.

“The disses that’s going on, like, I can outrap you is one thing. But then when you take it to the next level, like, ‘When I see you it’s a problem,’” Ice-T said.

“The problem with beef is that it can escalate away from you. Say I have beef with Treach and I’m talking s–t about Treach. I could run into one of his fans on the street who wants to get active.”

The 66-year-old added, “Having beef is just not smart if you can avoid it… They didn’t have social media, big difference. Social media is an amplifier to everything. It amplifies everything… It forces reaction that really could be squashed so much simpler.”

“It forces reaction that really could be squashed so much simpler,” he continued. “Why people have beef and take it to social media is beyond me, especially if you know a n—as’ phone number.”

What’s more? Ice-T is narrating “Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson,” a three-part documentary series airing before the boxers’ heavyweight match on November 15 at 8 pm ET.
