True story. I'm not hating on Royce or Joey, but Joell and Crooked are fucking monsters. I would love to hear Styles P and Jada go in the studio with Joell and Crooked.
Picture that shit...
Ha! The unemployment rate is a ruse! AIG and other banks are still paying out big bonuses to suits who pretty much engineered the collapse.
Don't get my started on that...
I'm chilling, and waiting to head home and take a nap.
Desperately clamoring for relevance, these cats try to go in on one of the most lauded visionaries of the game?
And if Def Jam killed hip-hop, why are you still co-signing the label? What kind of argument is that. Isn't that a self-endorsed contradiction?
Game recently detailed a conversation he had with Shyne and explained how the former Bad Boy artist motivated him to sway away from starting up rap beefs.
Same here, donnie. He's sick on the mic.
Slaughterhouse's Crooked I has hyped the anticipation for Dr. Dre's forthcoming Detox album by calling the beats instant platinum hits.
Rick Ross' Triple C's recently questioned KRS-One's claims that hip-hop losing its authenticity and said the rap veteran should pay homage to the new generation of emcees.
50 Cent has come clean on why he decided to publicly expose his relationship with Rick Ross' ex-girlfriend and son last weekend.
I never thought it about that way, about Banks not being able to sell.
I do agree with you on everything, especially the music speaking for itself.
Rap veteran Coolio recently talked about his upcoming mixed martial arts bout against fighter Eric Martinez and promised he would not lose the fight by a knock-out.
I feel you, and I'm feeling some of the shit on the radio.
If 50 evolves conceptually and lyrically, he wouldn't be kissing ass or appeasing the industry. He would be taking creative risks. Those risks may or may not translate to better sales, but it would be a better route to travel other than making the same music from '03. I think he's running out of things to say, and perhaps his fans or would-be fans want more.
But it's cool if he impressed you with the album.
It's a better idea to keep your circle small and make sure the elements in it are on some positive shit.
What up, Cj.
I see your point, but it doesn't address the fact that 50 didn't do anything creatively different on this album. Jay didn't either, but he also has a track record for breaking the mold. Nas also has an impressive reputation of being original.
I'm not trying to be argumentative because I find some of what 50 does entertaining, but BISD didn't break new ground.
In this week's Pulse Report, we're checking the last week to understand why Cam'ron is throwing in the Dipset towel, literally watch Floyd Mayweather, Jr. "son" Rick Ross, see why the "bad guy" 50 Cent lost to Jay-Z and SoundScan, peep Beanie Sigel's Roc slick talk and SOHH much more!
Beanie Sigel has reportedly promised to address his conflicts with former Roc-A-Fella labelmate Jay-Z on his next album.
Co-sign.
And the fact that he is caught-up in this is really dumb.
Fabolous has reportedly become involved in a high-profile stolen Lamborghini heist which took place earlier this year and is being requested to give up names to other individuals who took part in the incident.
I've said it once and probably several times before: in order for an artist to sell, they have to focus on the music--not the buzz, not the beef, not the controversy.
160K, even after the digital sales were added to inflate the numbers, for an HUGE name like 50 is a disaster, leak or no leak. Let's call it as it is. But why not examine why the flop occurred?
I'm 26. I grew up listening to a lot of music, from Rage Against the Machine to Black Star to Leaders of the New School. I didn't grow ...
