Sometimes the best way to fight is not to fight at all. If, for example, you're 50 Cent, you can pretty much just ignore all the haters. Because you're 50 Cent and, well, they're not.

So it should be interesting to see how the man born Curtis Jackson responds to Ja Rule's recent attempt to reignite their long-standing beef, which dates back nearly two decades and has flared up a number of times over the years. Ja Rule has spent a large portion of today obsessively dissing Fiddy on Twitter, inexplicably referring to Jackson as "Ticklebooty" and, uh, various other things.

It's hard to read Rule's tweets as anything other than the ravings of a man desperate to stay relevant.
