I'm trying not to burst out laughing at this thread.
Seriously.
50 Cent = the pinnacle of what is wrong with hip hop today. He makes records that when he's not beefing would never sell, it just so happens he's beefing with people all the time in order to make sure he's as talked about as shit was back in '96 before Pac got shot.
I mean, a rapper is supposed to create a diss record in order to lyrically challenge that person. It's a process that throughout the ages has refined rappers into greats.
Look at KRS1, LL, Jay, Nas, Em, Canibus (alright he never made it but his battles have turned him into one of the true greats of the underground. Too famous to be underground anymore, but not shifting enough records to make it mainstream.)....
The list goes on.
However 50 isn't beefing for any reason other than sales. He doesn't like Ja, but then he's making the exact type of record as him.
He's even trying to say he's a better mc.
Now I may hate Ja, but he can rap.
He came out with Jay and JD, Holla Holla and all that. Guy has skills, he's just making cash like 50, but 50 keeps trying to add more and more names to this list of supposed opponents.
The man is going to get shot just to shut him the fuck up.
The worst thing is that he's not challenged anybody he has a chance of beating.
I mean...from Fat Joe to Jada he's screwed already. Then you bring Nas into it and it just makes 50 look a bit more credible - hey he's battling big names right? Must be good.
Wrong.
Last rap 50 did that sounded good was before he got his mouth shot open. Nas would roast him. Just wait and see if Nas even finds it important enough to respond to.
He'll probably just throw 50 about 2 words on his shout-outs in the next album - "thank you".
That whole Game thing was bad too. The Game might not be a great mc but he's hardly 50 Cent bad. He's yet another rapper brought into the system and image altered to suit the way people think of rappers.
Big guys with expensive clothes driving round in fast cars with an entourage of troublemakers. Strapped and ready to shoot holes in the concert hall roof.
I'm tired of people assuming what's good is what's in front of you. What's good has to be searched for.
Pity nowadays the searching gets forgotten and it's just name after name, benz after benz, from alize ref's to timb's, cartier and matching rims.
Was that a rhyme?
Maybe I'll be on 50's list next.
