Martha Stewart is one of my idols. My goal in life is to be hip hop’s version of Martha Stewart (minus the prison sentence, god willing). So when I saw this quote from Martha Stewart on BV Buzz, my soul was touched.
“I like rap. We play rap. Oh yeah! When you come to the show you’ll see. Rap is fabulous! And it’s the liveliest thing for the audience. Rap is big.”
-Martha Stewart on rap music
Other reasons why Martha Stewart is hip hop? She’s been to prison. It’s a rite of passage for hip hop stars to go to jail. Ask Lil Wayne, TI, Foxy, Lil Kim, Remy Ma. Obviously Martha Stewart isn’t a rapper, but she’s been incarcerated, thus earning a ghetto pass. Technically, Martha Stewart is harder than the average everyday wannabe thug, who’s likely too scared to do time.
There’s also the beef factor. What’s more hip-hop than beef with the competition? When asked about Rachel Ray, Martha Stewart went in:
“She’s – more of an entertainer than she is, with her bubbly personality, than she is a teacher, like me. That’s not what she’s professing to be.”

Martha’s basically saying, “this bitch ain’t on my level son!” I can imagine her playing 50 Cent “Many Men” in the background while baking cupcakes. Rachel Ray can’t bake, btw. She knows she can’t eff with Martha!
“Her skill set is far beyond mine. That’s simply the reality of it. That doesn’t mean that what I do isn’t important, too … I don’t consider it needling. I really just think she’s being honest,” Ray says. “She does have a better skill set than I do when it comes to producing a beautiful, perfect, high-quality meal. I’d rather eat Martha’s than mine, too.”

This is as good as any 50 Cent vs. Game/Rick Ross/Fat Joe/Jadakiss beef. Rachel and Martha need to battle it out, may the best domestic goddess win. Cook off!
