You a bitch, how you call yaself the "Ice Cream Man"/

When Master P took your name and your Ice Cream Van/

Made 500 million, that’s your homie though/

Yukmouth quickly retaliates with "Game Over" which has him rapping over the beat of Young Buck’s "Let Me In" taking shots at Game and G-Unit:

Suge Knight slapped that n***a (Game), he didn't do s**t/

50 Cent , Lloyd Banks Take On Shyne and Nas!

On Big Mike's latest mixtape Professional Hood S**t ...50 Cent and Lloyd Banks add fuel to the fire by taking shots at Nas and Shyne on the track "Ya'll N****z Starving".

Responding to Nas’s comments at his free concert at Central Park and Shyne 's "For The Record"...Lloyd unleashes venomous subliminal punch lines while 50 (who doesn't even rhyme on the song) calls out Nas and Shyne by name and has the following to say:

About Nas:  I heard that n***a Nas taking about me, he don’t want it with me, he can’t even f**k with my n****z....

About Shyne: Shyne talkin' about me, tell him what happened since he's been gone...I run this s**t n***a...Banks this n****z is having hunger pains...n****z starving...we can’t even blame 'em for what they sayin'.
