<p>All-around awful person and <a href="http://hypervocal.com/news/2012/chris-brown-twitter-misogyny/">talented Twitter troll</a> Chris Brown has deleted his Twitter account following an ugly spat with comedian Jenny Johnson. When Ms. Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272781897095069697">attacked</a> Brown for his misogynistic tweets, the infamous singer responded with a sexually-charged, just-what-you'd-expect-from-Chris-Brown <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272785403797458944">tweet</a>: "Take them teeth out when u Sucking my dick HOE."</p>
<p><!--more-->As you can see in the Storify below, the feud quickly <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1697871/chris-brown-delets-twitter-jenny-johnson.jhtml">escalated</a> from there, with Brown devolving into his typical scatological "humor" to fight back against. Johnson, who has been known over the years to call him out for his <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/chris-brown-convicted-felon">felonious past</a>.</p>
<p>"I should fart while ur giving me top," he <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272786027972792322">tweeted</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272791084898324480">followed</a> by "mom says hello... She told me not to shart in ur mouth, wanted me to shit right on the retina." Hypervocal, which nabbed a screenshot of Brown's Twitter feed before he shut it down, <a href="http://hypervocal.com/news/2012/chris-brown-twitter-misogyny/">reports</a> that he ended the fight with the classy tweets, "If u can take a dick, u can take a joke" and "Let me leave this bitch alone ... it's good to know my worth by listening to a bitch that is worthless! #win #bushpigswag."</p>
<p>Despite the fact that Brown decamped from Twitter, his devoted #TeamBreezy fans remain to defend his honor. “According to Team Breezy, if you have a difference of opinion with someone, ‘eating a dick’ is the cure for any and all problems,” Ms. Johnson <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/272895747245084672">tweeted</a> this morning.</p>
<p>Though Ms. Johnson has managed to maintain a sense of humor about the whole debacle, Team Breezy fans appear to be taking the feud to a new noxious level. "It's alarming how many death threats I'm receiving via @ replies. I encourage everyone, including <a href="https://twitter.com/twitter">@<b>Twitter</b></a> to look through them," she <a href="https://twitter.com/JennyJohnsonHi5/status/273052650537381888">tweeted</a>. "Not cool."</p>

<p>What tipping point is represented when your startup and/or social network is being referenced by some of the most popular rappers being listened to at the moment?<!--more--></p>
<p>Whatever it is—and whatever it represents—Tumblr seems to have managed its way there. First, they were name-checked on Odd Future's single "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7mF85jdN8U">Sandwitches</a>," released earlier this year. <a href="http://rapgenius.com/77537">Quoteth</a> one Hodgy Beats of Odd Future:</p>
<blockquote><p>Kill me with a chainsaw/and let my balls dangle/Triple six is my number/you can get it off my Tumblr.</p></blockquote>
<p>Charming! Now, Clipse member (and Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music signee) Pusha T drops a reference to Tumblr on his latest freestyle, "Peso." And it's not nice!</p>
<p>Background: "Peso" is a song by Hottest New Rapper Alive Right Now, a gentleman who goes by the name of A$AP Rocky, who recently found himself on the receiving end of a <a href="http://pitchfork.com/news/44436-aap-rocky-talks-3-million-record-deal-mainstream-acceptance/">$3M record deal</a>. The song "Peso" and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob3ktDxAjWI">the clip for it</a> is basically everywhere.</p>
<p>So, as is wont to happen when a rapper releases a popular ("hot") track, other rappers will release their own raps over that beat, usually in the form of a "freestyle." And Pusha's freestyle for "Peso" came out (or: "dropped") today.</p>
<p>In <a href="http://pusha-t.com/2011/10/new-music-pusha-t-%E2%80%9Cpeso%E2%80%9D-freestyle/">Pusha's take on "Peso"</a>, the rapper regards A$AP Rocky's recent success and record deal as marginalized when given to comparison of his own success (fiscal and otherwise), noting:</p>
<blockquote><p>“If money talks you mumblers/you try it on/and take it off/<strong>then post a pic on your Tumblrs.</strong>”</p></blockquote>
<p>For those looking to parse that, it is Betabeat's professional opinion that Pusha T is noting the documentation of one's ostensible wealth as hollow and for-show, as evidenced by the mere act of one posting such evidence to one's Tumblr. One might even go so far as to suggest that Pusha is commenting on the financial demographic of Tumblr users at-large as marginal to his own.</p>
<p>For the record, Pusha T is on <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/pusha_t">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pusha-T/168714679807608">Facebook</a>, and has a website with <a href="http://pusha-t.com/feed/">an RSS feed</a>, but does not seem to have a verifiable presence on Tumblr (<a href="http://pushat.tumblr.com">pushat.tumblr.com</a> and <a href="http://pusha-t.tumblr.com/">pusha-t.tumblr.com</a> are both otherwise occupied).</p>
<p>And also, for the record, A$AP ROCKY <a href="http://realniggatumblr.tumblr.com/">does indeed have a Tumblr presence</a>.</p>
