Eminem Tells to 50 Cent Fall Back on New LP

50 does need to take time on his 3rd album. His second album wasnt that good. Alot of of low quality, sub par lyrics. As far as his comments on southern rappers, i 100% agree except for the fact that t.i is doing his thing.

It's kinda hard to take him serious 'bout southern rap hurtin hiphop when his music itself is also dumbed-down..

"50 cent feels his squad will pick up the slack in hip hop" that is a strait joke.....50 & g-unit is whats killing ny hiphop.....they puttin out the same corny sh*t everybody else is........F*ck*n clowns

That was a smart move on em's part because he doesn't want 50 to demolish himself by releasing album after album because fans will get burned out quick time must be well spent in order for quality to play a part....as fas as southern rap it ran hiphop in 2005 without question, you must be realistic you bun-b,mike jones,t.i.,bigboi with purple ribbon, slim thug, the list goes on. Now when other states and cities have a goodyear in hiphop it will be acknowledge but when it comes to the south they don't get the respect they deserve....real talk

50 cent is going to sell no matter when he puts his lp out. I don't see it making a big difference when it comes to 50 it may hurt other g-unit artist. For everyone who thinks 50 is weak, i would love to know who is your top ten rap artist write know.

Get em banks

Dayem the south is on err'bodies mynd right now.....that shyt is eating err'body up. I wonder if ludacris, ti, slim thug, lil wayne, ugk, eightball and mjg, scarface, outkast, and lil brother spend err'minute of their tyme addressing weak lyricist in the south like other artist do. I mean when they speak on weak lyricists i can only think of these new dudes that are out, d4l, ying yang, lil jon (makes numerous party joints), lil flip and other dr. Seus rhymers, but hell you dont hear other down south lyricist crying. It dont bother ti , jeezy and the other guys i named (maybe because they are just doing their shyt and staying in their lane). Its overall disrespect to the south when yall just point out some dumb azz rappers we have but the ones that are heating it up cats wanna turn a blynd eye to that.....50 act like t i or the other cats i mentioned cant lite his azz up when it comes to lyrics.....dayem. Ppl keep coming with this hip hop isnt about regions, but thats all that comes outta yall mouth when yall labeling whos wack and whos tight. Its "those southern rappers are trash".

He definitly needs to take some time before bringing out his next ablum, i personally dont want to hear anymore of his bullsh*t songs, he needs a new formula, dont nobody want to hear him singing hooks, all his music is starting to sound the same, and now he hating on the south, i admit, some of the south's music is questionable, (laffy taffy,lean and rock wit it) but rappers like t.i, andre 3000, scarface, bun b, paul wall, eight ball & mjg etc.... Are a few of the nicest emcees today, for the record i could name 10 rappers easily, 1:nas,2:jay z,3:kanye west,4:common,5:t.i,6:lil wayne,7:jadakiss,8:beanie segal,9:twista,10:eminem, (no paticular order)

My list is.. 1. Eminem 2. Andre 3000 3. T.i. 4. Lil wayne 5. Jigga 6. Nas 7. Pharoh monch 8. Mos def 9. Lauren hill 10. Krs one. Honorable mention .....talib, common, kanye, mjg and bun b.

Prettylou, i agree and xtwx i agree to a certain point.

Truth be told, the dirty feels the same about alot of these wack a$$ed east coast nuccas too. G-unit is killing hip-hop if you ask me.

50 killin ny hip hop period

50 killin ny hip hop period

50 killin ny hip hop period

What about mops album?

The south-damn yall just cant get a friggin break-before yall got overlook and got no recognition. Now yall on fire and gettin the well deserve attn -some of your artist are being accused of destroying hip hop. But lets be real-hip hop gettin destroyed is a team effort-certain artist from the north, west , and south. Have aided corp america in dumbing down the music and adding negative elements to the culture. So i dunno what curtis is chattin bout-cuz over the yrs his music has been apart of the coprorate influenced hip hop.

....ok.....i guess games disses is starting to affect 50s brain cells cause whats the point in calling some southern rappers simple when mr. "can i be your best friend, i want around all the time". If thats not a simple song i dont know what is. The beat is repetitious as hell and the lyrics are boring, sounds like banks alittle... 50 is killing hip hop with all the pointless beefs hes caused and stupid love songs. And he blames it on the south. What a moron, i think someone needs to look in the mirror

Cense what is your playlist right now dawg...cause hip hop is popping right now to me. 1. Thug motivation 2. Right about now (talib) 3. Tha carter two 4. Late registration 5. Streets diciple 6. Naked truth 7. Urban legend and p$c 8. Bun b 9. Git rich or die trying soundtrack 10. Roots tippin point (gotta keep the worlds finest hip hop band close in the ride).......what more do you want...

50 is cool with me but i 100% agree with you rj2006.

50 is tellin it like it is. His comments are hypocritical but still true. I'm from atlanta, so i hear this sh*t 1st. With the exception of ti,lil wayne,outkast,jezzy, we (the south) put out crunk, party,dance music with no substanace what so ever. In the words of andre 3000 "take this music dead serious while others just entertain, but they gettin money so i guess i can't complain, or can i? i feel they disrespectin the whole thang"

I really hope all the g-unit emcees coming out this year, bring the pain straight to the guts, the temple, and the thorax of the hip hop world; not that i'ma g-unit fan, but [we] need that right now!

50 will say anything to stay in the lime light....i mean from sam jackson to southern rap....whats next, is he gonna get olivia pregenant or something just to sale records.....50 has not been out the lime light since 2005 because of his idiotic comments....about kanye bein successful cause of him to george bush is trying hard as he can and to trynna sign damn near everybody....he needs to retire! now! and take everyone but young buck with him

Aight...... Hip hop is poppin cause of the money being generated righ now. Business is booming, however the market is flooded with gimmicks and images. Dumb down raps-party anthems-and negative sexual images. Dont get me wrong there nothing wrong wit sex and partying-but come on thas all u see and hear. Hip hop needs more balance. In my playlist public enemey, artifacts, wu tang, boot camp click, b.d.p, ole mobb deep, mop, ole busta rhymes, lons, de la soul, jungle bros, black sheep,slum village, kool g rap, beatnuts, black starr, fugees, john forte,camp lo, bush babees, group home, az, cormega, comm sense, tribe called quest, run dmc, main source, prince paul, big daddy kane, rakim allah, nas, jay, big, scarface, umcs, ultramagnectic, nice and smooth, gang starr, d.i.t.c ice cubes first album, some cypress-some house of pain, 3rd base, to name a few lol

50 is a P*ss*. Snitch

Dayem cense.....i feel your pain then dawg...if you rocking with that, i can understand why your pissed. I like most of all those artist but 60 % of your list is either in the closet, or got tossed cause i dont have a tape player in my crib. Dayem.

Hey kalliope when your on top everybody's going to start gunning at you. This cat 50 you just have to ignore, this mu'fukah is at everybody east coast, west coast and the derrty. You all just keep doing you, when we were on top, everybody gunned at us, west coast was on top everybody gunned at them, now you all have the baton and you all have to run like hell as fast and far as you can. Cause everybody to get that ass, that is my experience with this game. We had to jet, Mu'fukkahs are tired now, we are waiting to catch our breath lmao!!!!yall will be alright, the south is banging now, you will see how we feel in a minute lmao!!!!!! F*ck 50!!duck ass clown!!!

When is he gon do a remix of stick up anthem?

So i guess you, bigo is a member of the group who guns at the n*gg*z on top hah?

U see where im coming from now kalliope. You and big o are older gods so yall know that the best hip hop was from 1986 to 1996-if im wrong kalliope or big o correct me.... But when u come from that era where the east-west-and south was really hittin- and now the majority of rap sucks! it hurts.

Kalliope stop...... Stop..... The tapes-F*ck*ng clue tape, ron g. Craig g, dj sns, tone touch, envy, and a few others. Used to cop mixtapes on jamaica ave-(tears) in them days-you used to get real live exclusives. Rocking my tagged up radio in like 96 in 10 th grade bumpin that hot sh*t-no matter where it was from-cuz some of the best hip hop came out that 94-96 era. I just got back into tapes-my cousin from brooklyn-had on some (on the low) mix tapes wit ill blends.... With sh*t i havent heard still to this day.....damn i miss those days-F*ck a dvd , ipod, or mp3 or cd-im rockin back wit cassetts.......holla!

Yeah krimeboss, i am from queens, but i respect the game, everybody cant stay on top. The south is shining now, so let them shine, you all have a lot of tight m.c.'s now my top for the south is andre 3000, ludacris, t.i., damn cant forget the homie scarface, slim thug even though sometimes i sense a little heat from him about nyc, but he's hot, little brother hot to def!! but in n.c. There is a heavy new york presence, because everybody from nyc has family in n.c. Or is slinging major weight down there!! so there is a more east coast feel down there in the kakilakas!!same with virginia there are nuff new yorkers in v.a. Slinging and it has a more east coast feel, miami to. I love miami what up. But as far as that derrty south music georgia, alabama, mississippi, tennessee, arkansas, lousiana, texas and some parts of florida that is really derrty to me!!!

Oh and of course my man jeezy he shows nuff respect to the crib, i appreciate the way he comes off, because he comes to the crib with respect and everybody respects the F*ck out of jeezy in nyc, along with luda and t.i. And a few others. Thats why 50 has to chill with the loud talk. I see where he is coming from but he is not speaking correctly, he is talking about wack m.c.'s from the derrty, but there are wack m.c.'s in nyc but he already addressed those and got his sh*t pushed back lmao!!!i am telling you now he is getting ready to start coming at you cats down there, but it is only fifty talking that sh*t, dont start some tupac sh*t and start hating on nyc, cause then a major feud is going to erupt off of some bullsh*t!! if you mad at fifty attack fifty!!because we would take it personal in nyc because we show a lot of love to the artist from the derrty!

Word cense that's true!!!

50 is not goin to do good on his 3rd album ne wayz so y take more time on it.............i bet 50 will get kicked off the whole aftermath...and g unit records......hes to arrogant and stupid........hes gonna bite off more than he can chew

G g g g...you know what it is nigg@s!

Two words. Lloyd. Banks. Gggggg unittt! hold a lp 50, geive your other artist room to breath. Good choice

I think a lot of us from nyc feel like dont disrespect us, cause it feels like a father getting stepped to by his son! now you may disagree with pops but you dont disrespect!same with the moms also!

Smart move.....i felt that way for awhile now, he been over-exposed long time, his last album was ok, but barely ok, nothing special........

But we have to learn how to share something we made, let it grow, you never know what it may turn into, hip hop has grown tremendously and i am glad, the only thing i dont like is when people start with "F*ck new york" now that is starting bad karma and you cant win like that, california had that attitude and karma came around. I know they have real m.c.'s that are out there like pharycyde, del tha funky homosapien, saafir and rass kass but that whole beef thing was bad karma for them. Because when one side tries to squash and create peace and the other side doesn't want to hear, because they are high and mighty, somewhere down the line catastrophy is in the works, c*ckiness is not to be glorified.

Wait did 50 say other people make simple music??? wtf?

((((((((((not encouraging any violence of the sort)))))))) just my personal view)))))man listen big o..... Your older than me, but i remember back in the day mother F*ckers knew not to disrespect ny. Shit..... In the 80s the bronx, east new york- brownsville, south jamaica, l-town, hollis, q-v,sprig feild gdns, far rock, qns bridge, flat bush, c.i, red hook, the stuy, even in strong island-neighborhoods like hempstead,roosevelt, wyandanch, and other neighborhoods in ny & jersey you couldnt even walk through more less disrespect- yo i see artist from other states talking slick-makin thier documentrays dissin n*ggaz in ny walking around like its beverly hills now.-back then that sh*t couldnt pop off at all-hell in 96 i remember in red hook some west coast artist got caught up in a uncomfortable position.(trying to diss ny cats in ny(wut fools at that time)and all the places they choose-was bk, but thas all behind us now-and every one trying to make money, but those glory days of ny are gone-all you can do is rememeber. Lol

I agreewith kaliope4eva. The south is one everybody's mind right now because they are smacking everybody up numbers wise. There are cats that are simple minded from every coast including 50 himself. He ain't no goddamn lyricist, what is he tryna say? his sh*t is simple to while he's tryna talk down on somebody else. He's a fake ass n*gga. If you're getting the checks you're supposed to get, shut the F*ck up and quit crying. If i made more than 50 mill i'd tell the critics to kiss my ass!

That is exactly what i was talking about, fifty dont have no right talking about nobody, he should just sit down and chill, he aint even have to make that weak ass comment!!this cat has a hard time in his home state!!now thats F*cked up!!and to cense, true, i havent heard no other artist from the crib dis anybody from the south, only this clown here!!

Man i dont even like 50 i was hoping him and game got into it so game can bust dat azz man 4 real 50 he not that cold in rapping he just bout dat paper and tryna embarrass other rappers he poo he suck at being a rapper

I can feel that cense but on the real....new orleans was the one of the biggest ports in america...guns, dope, and all other illegal goods come in basically at the new orleans entry point....now i know fa'sho pre katrina nobody could come to new orleans and pop off nothing..with emphasis on nothing....it would be none of that...new orleans (prekatrina) was gutta gutta dawg...im talking ar-15's, 100 round choppers etc are hot on the streets like dvd players, and bootleg films.tha' dope dealers contacts are the cops dawg...yanno. Dawg did you see when the cats were shooting at the ppl trying to rescue ppl during katrina?? now i aint trying to back that like its cool but my point is i dont think you wanna phuck with no cat in their stomping grounds. Unless you have an army to back you up. Ive been to new york only visiting on some manhattan tip.....and enjoyed err'thang..but in new orleans you cant even enjoy being a tourist...anywhere in new orleans.

Lol i dig u kalliope i can believe that bout n.o.-thas wha happen wen the man stripe hoods-leave sh*t barond-then they flood the hood with boos, guns, and drugs-leaving us to destroy our selves-sh*t... Yrs ago "tourist" manhattan as we know it in 2k6- didnt look nuttin like how it look now-sh*t was dirty as F*ck-trains bombed with grafitti-the "deuce" aka 42 st was filled with whores and peeps shows all kinds of nutty sh*t- the bronx in the 70s was the poster child of urban decay-and brooklyn was a str8 mad house esp wen crack hit mother F*ckers was gettin stuck at latin quaters and roxy spots like that}F*ck*ng deceps was runnin wild robbin and bonkin people in heads wit hammers and other unususal sh*t-n*ggaz in queens was flooded the streets. ----but thats what happen wen the govt ignore the color class-whose poor-services get striped, education is lacking, and there no community programs-but new york now is relatively safe-cause of the jentrification}properties in the neighborhoods that was consider waste lands at one point -are destroyed-to be replaced wit condos-n co-ops. (they forcing out long time residents-locking n*ggaz up for bs or plantin sh*t on em. Harlem for example is different from the 70s and 80s is a far different in 2006-u got starbucks/old navy/neo-soul-bohiema style businesses and vibe.

I think every area in this country gets its turn to be sh*tty on. Lol

Lmao @ hitting over the head with hammers.

I agree with fifty on da fact that southers just make songs and if it's hit they make more of the same...i mean there are couple exceptions like ti

Who can take 50s comments for anything?? he is so F*ck*n garbage with all the sh*t that him n his crew come out with that he has no place to talk bout anythin else thats bein dropped.. The south been puttin out hot sh*t - not this Bia'ch song - singin the hook bullsh*t u hear out of every 50 song

How can 50 cent dumb ass say anything about the south and say we should talk about the ghetto when he is droppin sh*t like "disco inferno" and "candy shop". And he is completely wrong about the south. Listen to z-ro, trae, bun b, pimp c,and all the real cats. Only n*ggas from ny are big l, biggie, and dip-set.g-g-g-g-g-g-g unot

Ohh and for tone15 1.z-ro 2.trae 3.big l 4.notorious b.i.g. 5.tupac 6.lil' flip 7.cassidy 8.dip-set 9.chamillionaire 10.anyone other than g-unit

Goddamn cense251...thats alot of people

Ain't this bout a Bia'ch. Now boys wanna talk down on the south. How that dude gon' blame the south for killin' hip hop when he said in one of his flows "new york n*gga, soundin like i'm straight up southern". When the east ran the game, boys showed love on the south. Now that the south holdin' it down, they wanna say it's destroying hip-hop? what about some of that crap that's coming out on the east? nobody talks about that shiznit. The south is more than that laffy taffy and that lean wit it crap. Stop watching videos and pick up a cd. What bun tell yall? "back in the days all they ever did was doubt us/ now the south is in the house and they can't do nothin about us."

F*ck that !!!!!! im str8 new york city!!!! however to the south, mid west, and west coast- do not judge new york by the dumb ass comments of 50 or any other retarted artist. Just like new york yall got talented artist and garbage artist. Shit if u ask me dip set, 50, ja rule, fat joe, lil kim & foxy (wit the slutty rap) puffy, and others-even some artists from the south or the west all played a role F*ck*n up of hip hop.

Em needs to tell him to hang up the mic, before we the people impeach him. G g g g g g g-unot

Lets all be real this is all ny's fault. Hip-hop truly revovles what people in ny want to hear. All younsta's want to hear are club banga's about chains they can't afford and people they will never meet and things they might never do. So people like 50 cent will be around as long as little kids want to hear about the"candy shop". Look i'll be jammin ready to die while these kids of today jam "disco inferno".holla at old skool sh*t like luniz and 2pac and big l and biggieand z-ro and fat pat and scarface for real sh*t. If that's what you wanna hear. If you want to hear about some bull sh*t keep listening to current hip-hop.seee thats the problem. There are no more trend setta's around. People don't like what they are listening to but will listen to and vote for the song and even buy the cd cuz other's think i is cool. I'm a orignal , i don't know about the rest of yall but i think texas is where it is at.holla at rap-a-lot records if you want real sh*t like geto boyz. I'm done. Holla!

I have a little masta ace (disposable arts, sh*ts crazy still) prodigy h.n.i.c. (what happend) cnn, ghostfasce (fishscale), (monkey barz) sean p ya know, (beautiful struggle) talib, jay's reasonable doubt, illmatic & godson, 36 chambers wu, b.c.c., game, em, outcast, 36 mafia (most know unkowns), jeezy, cassidy, papoose and too many mix tapes for my own good...lol......and now some blahzay blah thanx too mans cense (haven't thought of them for awhile still........1

Its all to the good that yall are given us (the south) our props. But i can't read another post about andre 3000 being part of the elite rappers without the thought of mentioning big boi. Nobody in there right mind can say that 1 is clearly better than the other. And if u can, u don't listen. Infact b4 2002 big boi was hailed to be hands down the best lyricist of the south. We on top now, and we will be for a hot minute. Florida is on da come up(rick ross), texas is holdin it down, and atlanta is the mecca of hip hop right now. If the only thing u listen to from the south is what these corporate (white) ppl feed you then of course its dumbed down. And your even dumber for lettin them spoon feed you that sh*t. Rap music is heading in a new direction. Its never gonna be like the late 80s early 90s again. There is to much money to be made in hip hop now(shoe, movie deals) for the "money makers" to allow you to hear high quality music. Cause that sh*t don't sell. They given you dumed downed lyircs to double they dollas(in the words of jay). So if u wanna hear quality music nowadays, u gotta go threw it wit a fine tooth comb.

50 talks like he helpin hip hop hes destroying it i think gunit are a bunch of non talend rap artists with the exception of mobb deep. Mob deep should've went to def dam like nas and fab gunit is to comercial for em i think

Hey, i wanna say one thing about all of this!!!!if you wanna attack fifty, attack fifty!!!!because we show yall mad luv up there, the south got the respect of a lot of people up in nyc, and i am tired of saying this same sh*t, i see the same thing happening all over again. One person say something crazy and all the sudden the whole city is wild and crazy, that sh*t is weak. Cat's shooting video's and making songs with producers up in nyc, we have broken bread with everybody and brothas get nuuuufffffff respect in nyc. So dont blame my city for this, thats one persons opinion!!!!!not the whole city's!!!!peace

And to the "da real", big boi is definitely hot but i have that andre in my head, his cd was hot, big boi's too, but my ears were tuned into dre's style, which was hot because dude ripped with out really rhyming on his c.d., it was a shock for me!!!and yo i am in living in the south, so i know whats poppin and whats not, hell you all doing mixtapes like the crib now, speaking over dutty while the music playin like "d.j. Clue or kid capri". So aint no industry forcing sh*t in my mouth at all, i aint no Bia'ch, ya know!!!but i respect you, so dont disrespect me or my city!! and when i said speakin over a track, you all have been doing that for a minute now!!!

50's comments does border on meglomaniacal. Somewhat in the same vein as any rapper/hip hop artist who has achieved incredible fame. See: nas, mos def, jay-z, lil jon, andre 3000, t.i. Although 50 has put out pure garbage in the last couple of years, the south as a whole has put alot of garbage that is pure mainstream sh*t for the last 2 yrs also(with some exceptions). Ex: d4l, lil jon, the imp aka jermaine dupri and his entire b*tch roster. Which reminds me could anyone explain wtf sunny was thinking signing with dupri? wtf

i feel what duke is sayin in reference to the south but the same can be said about mc's in the north east. But we don't need a north vs south war going on and by his words is what he could be instigating. Overall imo the south needs more mc's like t.i.,andre 3000 etc. To step up and deliver some real hip hop that doesn't insult my intelligence with cat in the hat ass hooks. Me personally i think the whole game is "dumbed down" with the content that has been in heavy r.o. On the air waves and the lack of "food for thought" raps but what can i say? it just makes me appreciate the early '90's even more and i keep my purple tape,da shinin,rakim,redman material in the cd changer and have it on blast while im floating

Naw, that aint the tip i was tryna come off on. Your never gonna hear me come out my mouth and diss nobodys city or state. Unless its warrented. I give respect where it is due, and respect those who respect me, and mine. Those comments were to the closed minded and ignorant (such as 50). And bigo i feels you on dat lovebelow album. That sh*t was the truth. And if i went by that cd i could clearly say andre 3000 is a step ahead. But that southernplayalisticadillacfunkymusic big boi was preachin, and on atliens. But like i said i aint no internet thug tryna start north south beef. But hearn stuff about andre and not big boi is kinda like hearin bout jigga and big l back n the day. And nobody saying anything about big l.

On the real i think one of the reasons for the south breaking thru (eventho' we been doing it big now were just bigger) is because of production. Period. I just dont think producers anywhere can contend with the lineup that the south has got. Banner, lil jon, timbaland, pharrell (yes virginia beach is the south), manny, dj trumph ( i cant never get this dudes name right, but the guy who blesses dayem near all ti's joints), j d, dj paul.. The list goes on but i dont know all the names...when i listen to a southern cd man its like you gotta be boo boo to not spit tight over the tracks because mostly all of the tracks be on point. By no means am i shytting on no other region but just like err'body was doing the sped up soul sample kanye did ( just blaze, heatmakers) now its a new sound....and i believe its the sound of the south.

Look, or listen to all the hits that are out now.....they are either by a southern dude or its southern production on it.

Alot of people are hatin on 50 which is cool because hes at the top right now. First of all, no one on here likes to admit it but a majority of yall know you bought "get rich or die tryin"..lol... So dont hate on 50 talkin about him makin commercialized rap. Also, please tell me that you wouldnt want to sell 11 million records and i tell you that you are a F*ck*n liar. Its a F*ck*n business people. Every artist knows that (its a business) when they sign on the dotted lines. They have a duty to sell records. Also anyone who thinks 50s music is to violent or whatever should look at his music as entertainment. It aint nothin different from watching "scarface"(the movie) or (godfather). Again let me reampasize pressure hes under of making music that can "sell" because thats what its all about nowadays ladys and gentlemen. An artist signs a contract with a record label knowing fully well that he has to sell music. If he doesnt..hell end up owing the label..plus...artist nowadays are just smarter and more business savy(when it comes to business) then back in the day. So if that means that the music nowadays is watered down..thats up for debate. But the former days have passed. Its over!!..if yall want to revisit the oldskool artist (rakim, slick rick, krs 1) thats cool, you can listen to them on your 8 track..but remember, theres always going to be an evolution in music period!!..change!! there are some hip hop heads in the 1970's who think artist in the 1980s are wack...some people who think artist i

Kallio...i feel you...the production of the dirty south is on point. I live in virginia beach and we pay homage to pharrel/chad, timbaland, and dont forget teddy riley either

You can't stop the g-unit movement g-unit,g-unit south & g-unit west.

Dayem how can i forget nottz..that boy underated..he made songs like "footprints" on that g unit beg for mercy cd..."first it was two sets of footprints in the sand, then it was one set of footprints in the sand....." that beat was fiyahh...plus hes all over busta rhymes ole shyt.

Well i am thankful that, we always seem to come to a head and talk about issues in a way, where we can all understand one another, and bring forth good solutions and ideas on how to make things better. If we as a people were to sit down like a lot of us positive brothers, are doing now and do like malcolm x said "come to the table and talk shop", instead of taking our business to the media to get pimped into hating one another for a region or a different style of rhythm, then we could guide hip hop in the direction, that we as a people feel in needs to be, with the help of the creator!!! i got luv for everyone in here, and it feel's good to know that we come together like this, feel's like it is the commission or something lmao!!!! hey yo by the way has anybody been checking out the video archive, they got videos from the 70's up to the present moment, on there!!!!! anyway peace. I am about to do me and meditate for a while, and be thankful for everything 1!!!!

Who the F*ck is 50 cent to criticize southern rappers for being simplified? aint this the same guy who thinks "i love you like a fat kid loves cake" is a really clever line? are we not talkin about the same guy whose idea of a good hook is "clickity clank, clickity clank, the money goes into my piggy bank"? for those of yall who don't know, dem franchize boyz is not the only hip hop group from the south. 50 cent is just as commercialized and simplified as crime mob, franchize, and ying yang twins, if not more so. Dear mr. Jackson, you would get your ass lyrically ripped open by t.i., bun b, chamillionaire, and even ludacris, let alone outkast and scarface, so shut your fake suburban ass up.

And yall need to start recognizin real hip hop and fake hip hop regardless of where its from. Just cuz someone from your city drops a terrible lp doesnt make it good. Just cuz someone from somewhere else drops a good lp doesn't make it bad. I listen to hip hop from everywhere in the usa and even outside the usa, and theres good rappers and bad rappers from cali, da south, nyc, minnesota, st louis, england, alaska, nigeria, sh*t theres good hip hop from pretty much everywhere yall. Open your eyes up.

One love big o

Exnora....i feel you....and i can personally say from experience that there is good hiphop in nigeria.

50 is a good artist. He just needs 2 get back 2 his roots. The massacre didnt do as well as get rich or die tryin. Listen 2 "how 2 rob." great record. Blowin up the way he did seems 2 have gotten 2 him. I resoect him, i just think he needs 2 go back 2 his roots.

50 just playin the game same as 95% of the "successful" artists out there. I wanna see some of the spirit and thought come back. Theres a few out there still doin that but most been sellin sh*t for a buck. I wanna see if jay and nas put somethin big soul or just big dollar together. I wanna see what rakim brings with his new album. I wanna see where t.i. Goes next. I wanna see if dipset continues a movement or splits to sell. Hip-hop needs to get back to its roots, not just one artist.

Man listen-the comments and opinions of one curtis jackson. Does not reflect the views and opinons of the city of new york nor its citizens. Futher more i feel 50 is a rass hole-and his statements where totally uncalled for, especially since hes been droppin that wishy washy hip hop. With recyled beats , rhymes, and hooks. So no one needs to jump to any up north vs down south sh*t, cuz when u think n*ggaz is beefin they breaking bread togther. For example the whole east west thing/ pac was rocking wit bcc-wu tang-naughty by nature-redman-and other east coast cats. Snoop was even in the sh*t -then he squashed he beef wit the east. Plus north vs south hip hop dont need that sh*t-the game is like a chair with 3 legs-the wrong move can destroy it all.

Cmon, 50 was the most destructive cat on the mixtape circuit post y2k in the tri-state area. Columbia f*cked up, trackmasters and nas f*cked up. And not one cat can say 50 aint sh*t. It took a white rapper from the "midwest" to sign him. Not one black dude would even mention him to a record exec. But, currently he is not hungry and he is trying to run a potential empire, so he is at fault for taking a slide. If the cat doesn't deliver with the 3rd release, game over man. Game over. And there can be a north vs. South battle across the board. Word up. Cats up top, and the dirty bredren dont mix to well. Entertainers, atheletes, rap artists they put on a good show. But it is easy when you kickin it with other rich people. The common black man, looks at his brother with suspicion if you from another set, word up.

The object of the "game" is to sell millions of records by any means neccesary. Controversy,sex,lies,guns,violence,simpl ified nursery rhymes,super-thug,beefing concepts is what sells and what the masses want to hear and will purchase to listen too when they feel. Conscience hip-hop and food for thought music does not make you a multi-platinum artist in these days and times that "mind-state" is a thought from the past (early 90's) and we will have to wait full circle to relive that time / movement once again. Until then, the airwaves will be flooded with songs like laffy taffy, and lean & rock with it, etc. Etc. Until it, like everything else gets old and tired and the conscience movement begins to surface. The south is finally getting their voices heard in the masses and feel like the music is quality, but actuality its' trash-rap that is contributing to the "dumbed down" state of the game right now. There are only a handful of mc's from the south right now that is actually making some real hip-hop but unfortunately for them there are too many whack ones that's saturating the game and will only help pave the way for the mecca of hip-hop to gain it's rightful throne again. Watch and see...

There is a difference in all rap and u cant compare one type to another some people dont want to hear the down south some dont want to hear east coast same wit da west and da mid thats why there is a thing called opinion and mind just cuz somethin is simple dont make it weak the game gets switched up cuz what is hot right now people start hatin when what they doin is not sellin to the masses dont hate cuz of what people is buyin if laffy taffy an lean wit wit type sh&! is what a person likes r they slow dumb r anything else naw thats what they feel that relates to them those r party songs n e ways u dont hear dem dudes syain they the best rapper alive so why should they put out songs tryin ta be lyrical theres money out here and we gonna get it n e means nec. The game aint neva been bout who is the best lyrical lyrics dont make money music does only thing that does is give something to be proud of to be the best mc this is 2006 not 1990 r b4 people want to hear whats real in they lives not always wanna hear something ta try to figure out what somebody is sayin the north originated hip hop the south is handlin it but together hip hop cant be stopped cuz b4 the south came in only thign a person could do is listen to what somebody was sayin cuz beats used to be wack very few had something actually to them but that was back when people were worryin about mc'in now producers r making more important than rappers cuz rappers come a dime a dozen cuz the hottest beat can make the wackest mc dope if he sp

I dont care what no one say....that lean wit it rock wit it- and taffy laffy is trash-n*ggaz aint saying nuttin-jus gettin on the beat catching the flow and slappin werds together.

I agree^^^^^^^ "girls call me jolly rancha, cause i stay so hard, you can suck me for a long time...oh my god!!" lmao....thats some funny sh*t. Their second single is a 100% pure garbage.

The last 50 album was not satisfactory at all, "jus a lil bit" are you kidding me 50? what in the h*ll is that, whatever happend to the hustling, gangsta, real 50, quit focusing on the beat, write stuff noone else can say because its only you, the real sh*t. Worry less about the g-unit and start thinking about your lyrics. Lay it down your way

Str8 up get rich or die tryin is hands dwn betta than massacre, like sinnab said it was the real 50, u barely saw him on the massacre at all, and barely on the get rich soundtrack aswell, tho wen it comes to the dirty south rappers, i got love, luda, ti, andre 3000 + big boi, u jus cant diss 'em! tho i gotta say, 4get dirty south vs. G unit, one of my faves comes from both! young buck! the overlooked memba of the g unit, u herd him on dpg unit? u herd him on stomp? whip ya head boy (his verse bein the only gd 1 on that song)? i got love 4 buck and only hope more promotion goes in2 his second album, keep the dirty south production, but mix in a lil bit more shady/aftermath, at least 1 em produced track, at least 1 dr. Dre produced track, jus 2 give the album more variety and ur on 2 a classic if buck brings his top form!

Yall want real.jam some z-ro.g-maab,chamillionaire.and alot of the boyz from texas

Atleast now he got som beef, it seems that thats all he good at recently, all he needs to do is get shot and then he'll go platinum again

I dont know y ppl listen to his wack ass sh*t. Lil ni*ga cant rime. He just borrowing line from eminem. I ant buyin no more cd's from 50. He just plane suck. Im goin w/ game's cd's now. G-not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

50 should chill with that 3rd album and make sure that its up to par... I agree with cemejuru, but you gotta give props to 3 6 mafia for there stuff...

T.i. Is tha king. I will buy all the g-unit material as always. I like game too but 50 has colored my vision of rap.

Nigga thats business.new york is the same way. Puchlines is the newest market now everybody using punchlines. Every region has its own style and the things that them south cats talk about is they way of life.

If pac was here now he would never ryd with fiddy after listenin to the masacre,you should come to africa and i'ma give you the real hip hop sh*t,these n*ggaz gotta keep it gangsta or maybe fiddy turned rnb,banks is better than all,rest in peace to pac and biggy,these new n*ggaz is P*ss*,word africa

Fiddy should lay back and listen to pac and biggy,then start revisin the strategy,i love g-unit but i'm a gangsta and we need black consious muziq n*gga,africa for the black solid rebels

Zxd u is a punk ass n*gga,foolish ma F*cker,u don't listen to music u jus pass thru it,jus coz u luv game doesnt me mean fiddy aint good,keep yo game and i'll keep 50,bring yo ass deep down here in zimbabwe,africa and u'll c that 50's gonna shine till his heart stops.donn madd proudly zimbo,zxd c*ck sucker.g-g-g-g-g-g-unit

What 50 really needs to do is just stop rapping and saying the same sh*t. He's an actor now. Im from the west coast game killed that fool 50s a snitch. The only tight rapper from g-unit is loyd banks. Give up ni**as its time is what g-unit really stands for. The west coast is coming back!!!!!!!

Yo i just wanted 2 say that it was kinda smart for 50 to hold back his album seeing as how he just dropped one not to long ago before that but now its just been 2 long!!! im tired of listenin' to 50 in other peoples songs.... He needs to come on out with his album.....its about time right now.... I mean come on 50!! you aint gonna just let the game come out bumpin' that one blood song are you?? come back and hit em' wit a lil sumin' sumin'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All u g unit haters i see on hear r pretty ridiculous, hating on g unit saying they're destroying hip hop?? have u heard lloyd banks? he's one of the best if not the best lyricist in 2 come into the mainstream since....since the 90s, nas isn't killing hip hop with allthe weak joints he's put out since illmatic??? jay z isn't killing hip hop since all the wack bs like the black album he's done???? g unit is better than those cats music these days, so 50 cent is kinda commercialized, big deal, so he sings hooks?? big deal!! it sounds good, people love it, they gonna love it no matter what that game dude says about fitty. Like fifty said, sure he can rap , he can freestyle, but he's tryin' 2 make songs, not sh*t that sounds like it belongs on a mixtape like the game does, i think all these people mainly hate on g unit n' fifty just cuz his enemies make up rumours that he's a snitch, and cuz they r on the games side so they just hate no matter wut. Man the game is a loser anyways, he was ok, but now he's just an ex g unit member booty hurt cuz they kicked em ' out, and now he makes his whole career outta dissing fifty with all the dvds and mixtapes, childish n*gga, get over it man, his songs are'nt good anywyas incoherent ramblings, while fifty n' g unit makin' songs, lloyd banks spittin' dope rhymes , they got the dope tracks... Everybody comin' on with g unit even cool j, mobb deep, n' now c bo. Stop hatin', g units doin' the damn thing, makin' good songs, callin' out people that need 2 b called o

Dude on here talkin' about pac would never ryd with fifty!! haha. How do u kno? n*ggas dead n' buried. N' u kno wut???? fifty was really on the street his whole damn life, was pac???????go look into that lol. Pac repped la and didn't even move there til' he was like 21 or 22 yrs old!!!!! that's messed up. N' he went 2 a private arts high school in baltimore, took ballet classes n' sh*t. Didn't even move 2 cali til he was like 17 and that was marin, ca a little rinky dink town on the opposite side of the golden gate from san fran. Nigga was never out on the streets, but said he live the thug life!!! thats why biggie was into it with em' cuz tupac had the nerve 2 say biggie wasn't real when biggie was out on the streets and jugglin keys!!! 2pac never did any of that!!!!!!! 2pac was an image!!!!!!! n*gga was pretty much just phonie so who gives a sh*t if he would b down with fifty??? but his music is the greatest no matter wut, but he wasn't no real thug just wanted 2 be . So badly. And look wut happen 2 em'. Pop pop. He didn't grow up a thug but he died like one. Vln vln vln

Its harlem all day...yes i'm a real new yorker...all ny has right now is the greatest mc in history 50 cent and his crew....there are no other rappers reppin ny know...g-unit is all that's left of hip-hop.......the south is trash when it comes to makin music except for luda and outkast...t.i. Is escpecially garbage..................ggggggggggggggg gggggggggggggggggggggg u no what it is straight gangsta F*ck that fake n*gga the lame, that's right the lame that sh*t and a typo.....from harlem to southside

I secon that smith...pac was not that thug that he made himself look like....reppin cali the west cost was a big mistake considering you were from harlem, new york where all the greats are from no matter if its gangtas, the badest, females, rap sports (jordan) or whatever anyway pac had nothing to do with the west coast...his wisdom and swagger was from ny

This is another example of artists hatin on silly sh*t to get a couple of dollars. 50 cents music puts me to sleep. He needs to find aother job cuz he's wasting radio time. About chains and grills every kid in the country has a aluminum one. Time to rap bout real sh*t that people deal with. Fight the power dammit

This is the bottom line right here im a mc and i rep ny but i live down south and i here these n*ggas talkin bout lil boosie , p troy , deffinitely jeezy da most, t.i not d at popular, but wayne deffinitely other cats yo gotti. And the first thing comes to my mind is new york hip hop is dead and it is dip set aint sh*t ballin F*ck ballin it s "brooklyn" and really to be honest on some real sh*t nobody really reppin ny but g-unit 50 is the king of newyork because he owned 2003 and 04 and game nice and all but kids dont let game put in yo head or jadakiss put in your head dat fif aint got no stree t credit people feel dat n*gga man i mean there s deffinitely alot of haters but when dat n*gga came to ny and word got out on the street that he was commin to the bronx mad teenagers outside and he through out money and all dat basically what im sayin is don 't sleep on fif man only cause game said all dis sh*t dont mean nothin and what he said about the south is true why? because he said most rapper s so when he said that hes reffering to d4l , dem franchise boyz, unk and dudes like that . Now on wayne comments on jay-z wayne wouldn't say he was better than him if he didn't think he could hang wit him dont sleep on wayne now he is out of his league on this one but not way out of his league for sayin this he loses alot of fans but o well. Jeezy is a street cat he's hood more like ghetto he real and he is a very good hip hop artist inspiration usually cats don't do that well on there sophomore album but

Son they didn't let me finish any way fif is smart for listening to eminem all he has to do is have dre on sh*t a little more cooland dre scott storch eminem and bring back the old fif grimey fif that we all know and most of all get back at game for trying you.

Truth be told,when get rich or die tryin came out,everybody down south was jammin it. In houston where i'm from, all you heard was dat song many men and p.i.m.p. Now i used to be a fan of 50 until he started dissin people in da rap game that was so laidback you couldn't help but make a record with them.real ni99az say evry day real recognize real and 50 eas dissin da realest rappers out there.he said on beef ja rule was a duet boy, but now he got songs out like bestfriend and baltimore love. He a cartoon (fake). And for da record, what about dat song"chicken noodle soup" by harlem,ny's artist webstar. Dat was the most horrible dance of da year.and you can't look say with a straight face dat tony yayo music jam and t.i, jeezy, or lil wayne don't. Tony yayo suck!!!

Hip hop was already on the decline, because mostly everybody was saying the same sh*t. Okay the south came with a new so-called style, but wheres the creativity. So everybody is participating somewhere down the line for the fall of hip hop.

First off, 50 don't know what he talkin about and i agree with most people on this board sayin d-unit is ruin hip hop. But the south has always been the weakest of regions when it comes to lyrical ability. Recently there has been a more consistent popularity for souther rap, there have always been your classics, but 50 does have a point with southern rappers trying to sound the same. Does rick ross not try to be like jeezy, does jeezy not sound like project pat who is one of the classic southern rappers, but as far as that goes jeezy is holin it down with is from the heart rhymes, weezy hottest rapper out right now, you want a hot track call up weezy, t.i. Straight above average but his played out recently count how many times you here chopper in his ryhmes, he kinda started the whole southern movement to popularity, i ll giv him that, but hes gone 50 and just tryed to sel records, and ashton punked him, c mon now man, you see him try to f uck with game, bout got dealt with on the spot, thats the real, southern more talk than walk, they create fictional stories, and talk about things they never did or do, how weezy gonna say hoppin off the boat meetin popi at the doc, knowin damn well he never did that sh*t, baby did slim di , people he knows did but not him, how he just become a blood, but was a gansta in 504, i talked to dude form the ninth ward, up here from katrina he said its real down there, but weezy wasnt in it, weezy got jumped at school everyday,till he got with baby. He still tight th

I don't know which songs are worse: just a lil bit/ candy shop, or the atl snap crap rap. I mean, we all know hip hop is going to die in the next decade, b/c there aren't enough new, refreshing ideas that are out there, b/c everything is digital. It doesn't help that 50 markets his songs to 13 year old white girls. A new emphasis needs to be marketed towards dmx, nas, and even "get rich or die tryin'", which honestly was great all around. Besides x, nas, dre, ti (even though a lot of people call him a b*tch), three 6 and eminem, hip hop is dead. Rip

Hey yo its ur main man cashis just lettin yall haters know theres a new song cumin out called 'you dont know' by me (cashis) my man banks my boy eminem and the boss 50 peace out

F*ck 50 cent n*ggas from the south show the majority(except the bay area) of the rap game how to do it wut duz 50 do hes to P*ss* to realese his material until someonelse can tell him its good enough to go out on the streets "50 cents nuthin but chump change im a whole dolla n*gga and ill hang one in ur brain."

50 is garbage i think he really needs to give up his acting career! i dont think i've ever heard anyone say they like 50 cent!

50's second album was type whack, and i do think that 50 needs to take some serious time wit the 3rd one comin out. I agree that most of the garbage coming out of the south makes no sense, but that is apart of the pop genre. Hiphop, pop, and rap are completely different genres. G-unit is apart of the rap genre. There is no hiphop in what they talk about, so 50 really cant even say that the south or the music coming from there is hurting hip hop, because if that was so, 50 is hurting hiphop as well.

I love your songs and we need somemore songs

50 just keep what ur doing man i like all ur music and ur movies. Just who give a F*ck wat people think

Hey 50 i got a queston y did slim switch sides on u

50 u know what im saying F*ck ja rule
