Ras Kass Diss Towards Game Causes More Beef - With Crocodile Hunter's Manager

Ras Kass' diss record aimed at rival The Game is causing international outcry because of a line in the song where he references the death of the "Crocodile Hunter" aka Steve Irwin.
Irwin died on Sept. 4 when he was stung by a venomous stingray, while filming a scene for his eight-year-old daughter's reality show.
Ras Kass and The Game have been embroiled in a feud since a physical altercation in a Los Angeles nightclub on Sept. 14.
Since the incident, the two have been hurling insults and threats at each other via interviews, freestyles and mixtapes.
Last week, Ras Kass released
"Gayme Over" a scathing 6-minute single that attacks The Game.
On "Gayme Over" Ras Kass raps: "You're the waste of LA/get blast up in LA/face down, ass up in LA/you the Crocodile Hunter, I am the stingray"
"I just find it a bit sad that people have to stoop to that," Irwin's manager John Stainton told the Sydney Morning Herald. "It is disappointing. I can't understand the point of it. There are other references they can make that will put the point across."
Irwin rose to fame as host of the popular series The Crocodile Hunter, which is broadcast in over 130 countries and boasts a viewing audience of over 500 million people.
Stainton was on Irwin's boat the Croc One when the stingray's tail pierced Irwin's chest and fatally poked a hole in his heart."
"I just think it is a pity that people do have to use Steve or anyone who has died in tragic circumstances as a form of entertainment," Stainton said.
