So Joe wants us to completely erase any thought of him saying he never had beef with anyone when he talked to Angela Yee on Shade45.  Thinkin back to Saigon's comments, I've dealt with people in the past who are too ignorant to dispute a problem maturely and will usually resort to getting physical when they feel like they are cornered intellectually or if they feel insecure.  Makes me wonder if that's what's going down with Saigon and what previously went down with Ransom.   For my personal entertainment I hope these dudes start firing back and forth on wax and keep it there.
