Fabolous tweets about 50 Cent, 50 Cent responds
Posted by Miss Info under beef , concerts , good for hip hop , hmmm....? , quotes[154] Comments
After this past weekend’s warm fuzzy hug that was the 50 Festival concert event at Governor’s Island, featuring everyone from D-Block to Slaughterhouse to Jimmy and Juelz to Maino and more …Fabolous made an observation on his blog twitter about how this marks an interesting change in the longtime Boogey Man of NYC rap. Fab also followed up with retweets of readers with insightful comments (like here and here).
And of course….Fif responded with a statement:
Reading what Fab said about me on Twitter was disappointing.
I have extended myself to Fab personally to allow him to expand himself as an international Touring Artist.
I Thought we were Friends but that’s cool.Law #2: Never put too much trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies
Be wary of friends—they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.
— 50th Law of Power.
Am I 50 Cent or Am I Machiavelli? Dammmm!!!
Truthfully, I don’t see what Fab wrote as the contradiction of him and 50’s “friendship,” because it is rooted in historic truth. But we all know there is a tacit rule that says “Rappers shalt not talk about one other in any way unless it is a shoutout.” lol. And you guys know, I’d rather see celebs voicing unpopular opinions than no opinions…PS: twitter has been quite the fertilizer for Fab ; )
UPDATE: Inside sources say that Fab was actually invited to take part in 50’s concert event but that he never responded. Do you think this has something to do with his twitter-punditry about it after the fact? That would explain why 50 Cent would feel “disappointed” by the unsolicited commentary. And I also want to point out…that in reading the first twitter from Fab, it seems that he’s not just pointing out that 50 was known for being an instigator. But he’s also blaming 50 for New York’s “crumbling” hip hop scene….this is an extreme exaggeration. So, I gotta retract what I said about “historic truth.” Hey, I can admit when I’m wrong.

Is Fab crazy to make such a general statement their are many reasons NY rap became isolated first of all when 50 was beefing with people like Ja he had mix tape world selling like hot cakes if anything he only contributed to keeping New York national and global. Come on people on a national level the demand for 50 aka New york rap is there how did Soulja Boy get famous it wasnt using Fab as title for his uploaded videos. The fact that fab is blaming 50 for the isolation of NY rap is just pure jelousy from the success of his concert this past weekend. Take some advice from yourself Fab and Breath, rethink your general ass comment

Info I have to agree with you, this totally seemed premeditated.. Why would the most non confrontational rapper in the game decide to take issue with 50 over this? I wonder what he has to say about 50 offering to take him on tour? Did he think 50 was divisive then? I know people are going to call me crazy but I really think Jay-Z put the battery in Fab back and offered him up to be slaughtered like a lamb so he could say see 50 is a bully blah blah blah… Let’s be clear! I don’t believe in coincidences and my gut is telling me that Jay put him up to this.. Or maybe 50’s “Cool Punk” comment made him feel some sorta way after is dude is all of 5’6 125 a little punk.. 50 responded like a pro I just hope that if and when he decides to go in people don’t try to flip this all on him…If fab thinks 50 is one of the reasons I wonder what he thinks the other reasons are? Why didn’t he do the show? Why did he never go on tour with 50? If he’s had all of these feeling since the days of Ja what makes now the best time to address them? What are the odds of him following up his bullshit tweets today!
I dare someone to debate this historically accurate comment Jay-Z has had more beef with NY rappers than 50 Cent!! Jay Z put more NY rappers out of business, aiding to the crumbling of NY when he was president of Def Jam than anyone else.. Killed the roster for southern rapper! Who had beef with Nas, Jada, Wu, Mase, Mobb Deep, DipSet just for being on his label, Sauce Money, fat joe, LL Cool J over whose the GOAT etc etc etc etc? Has Jay-Z ever had issues with a rapper from another state? I just love the video of him looking like he wanted to punch some chick back stage what an icon!
It pisses me off when people say 50 hate rappers and dont help or deal with other rappers? Who does papoose, Uncle, Wale and Maino all credit for helping them? Who helped that little booty queens rapper trav get attention? Who signed Hot Rod and put him on a track with Mary J? Who signed Mob Deep and put them out with a classic album? Who tried to bring Mase back? Who helped promote and produce LL album when Jay-Z shitted on it and buried it?? Who helped Freeway?? Who helped Lil Scrappy? Who save The Game from getting dropped? Who signed Young Buck and gave him a platform when Cash Money just sat his ass on the bench?? Who wrote a hit for Lil Kim?

Fabs comments are contributing to “crumbling” NY hip hop.
I bet he never considered that?
NY HAS NEVER BEEN UNIFIED EVER MAYBE 1988-89 SO 50 is trying to do what Jay-Z never did while this dude is trying to do nothing but make a career full of R&B albums with a few street records and slide by! What has fab done for NY hip hop?
So now I think 50 should go and get Dame and Biggs to Executive Produce his next album, make it half BlackRoc half gutter tracks.. Go get Cudi and Uncle murder and sauce money to do hooks for him and make Jay-Z look like a fool…

Damn, you wrote so much, but lack so many facts.The key word being facts.Jay didn’t start the beef with Jada and The Lox, Jada did.At the time the real beef started Jay did two remixes with R.Kelly that Jada was on the originals;the originals disappear,while Jay’s remixes became big, so Jada started hating.Mobb Deep said something about Jay in a magazine article, so Jay responded.Mase and Dipset both went at Jay first, so he responded.Now I don’t know how the Nas, Wu, Sauce Money, or LL beef got started, but fat joe and those terror squad dudes had beef with Jay because one of those dudes attack Dame in a club.All in all, none of those incidents can compare to 50 just attacking NY rappers for being on songs with Ja Rule;which was 50 way of marketing himself as superthug.Jay never tried to be anyones friend, but unlike 50, he didn’t just go at rappers to build a name for himself.
As for helping rappers, how did 50 help all those rappers? Where are the majority of them now? Also, you listed quite a few none NY rappers on that list.You making it like 50 is some sort of saint,when he tried and is continuing to try and destroy NY and other states rappers with his manufacture beefs.Just to put this in perspective, before Pimp C died, he made it clear, Jay was one of the few dudes helping him out when he was locked up (It was in The Source Mag back in the day);not to mention putting UGK on one of his biggest songs when most NY rappers didn’t know who they were.What about Jeezy, who counts Jay as a mentor.What about writing for Foxy and putting her on back in the day.What about putting Bleek on, a dude from his neighborhood.What about squashing the beef with Nas, and signing him to Def Jam and squashing the beef with Jada and signing him to Roc Nation.What about helping out fabolous,a brooklyn rapper,by doing a track on his album, even if it’s just Jay rapping the chorus.These are all things Jay did that can be consider genuine moves.
As for Jay putting Fabolous up to making a factual observation about 50’s current, the key word being current, mea culpa on NY rappers; all you need is a Freemasons/illuminati throw in to make your ridiculous fact less base assumption more comical.

Even if what Fab said was true was like to talk about the elephant in the room. With a person like 50 cent if you say anything other than “what up 50″ or “shout of to 50 for what he did for NY hip hop” will be taken in a negative way. He knew it and thats why he had to say he wasn’t taking shots at 50.

Am I mistaken or is fab sounding a bit salty right now? I will be honest, I was kind of wondering why he was not at the show..but correct me if I’m wrong..but 50 was not the only NY artist beefing with another..
remember Jay vs Fat Joe
Jay vs Dipset
Mobb Deep vs Nas
Nas vs Nature/Cormega
Jada vs Beanie Segal (because of Jay)
Fat Joe vs Cuban Link
Ja rule vs DMX
Maino vs Little Cees
Lil kim vs Foxy Brown
Basically NY was separated before 50 and it will be separated after 50..
My point is that 50 was not the only NY artist beefing with another NY artist..so maybe he’s a bit upset he was not invited..since he has performed with 50 before…
50 posted a response on thisis50 and I think he went about it very cool..just brushed it off..

NY uses 50 as a scapegoat for a lot of things. There are so many things that 50 has done that have already been done. It’s just that 50 has the money, power and means to do it bigger.

Yeah, NY’s been beefing for the longest. It’s just that 50 likes to get at anyone. And he’s also probably the first rapper to come out of no where and massacre one of the hottest rappers careers. Don’t front and act like Ja was never hot! He had about 5-6 songs on the radio at the same time.

People forget that 50 struggled to get a deal, and when he did get a deal, he brought his own crew through and also signed Mobb Deep and M.O.P and tried to sign Shyne and Mase so 50 may have played a role in hip-hop beef but he also tried to help re-build NY hip-hop.
My own opinion is beef may have played a role in N.Y music struggling but what really did it was the wack music. So NY rappers only have themselves to blame because of that. Because in the midst of beef we got:
Stillmatic and The Blueprint.
The Documentary and The Massacre
So beef is no excuse for putting out garbage because people are beefing, if anything it should be motivation for good music because of the high expectation and pressure all the publicity brings.
I don’t think compilation albums is the key to great records. Hip-hop would suck if every single track was a “We are the world record” People need to be able to hold their own before they have guest appearances, Em killed Jay on a track but Blueprint is a classic.

Ever since Fab got his damn Twitter, homie be speaking his mind so much! Imma a 50 fan and I agree with him that 50 is one of the many reasons why NY hip hop crumbled and isolated. 50 has affected many New York rappers. But Fabo should kept to him damn self. You know Fif is very sensitive about niggas say about him. But can someone answer my question: Why the fuck Fabolous is talking about 50?

Fab, needs to remember who helped him. Here’s an old Fab quote.
Fab just got back home from Europe, where he was on tour with 50 Cent.
“I was over there for promos, and the opportunity came to do the shows with 50, which was good because that was a promo thing for me even though they was paid shows,” he said. “50 is a big international artist. That let me tap into 50’s market. A lot of dudes — even the dudes that are big over here — you wonder how people over there don’t know who they are. Some of the biggest names in the States are small fries over there. Even myself. I’ve had some songs they know, but even songs that are my general hits over here, they might not be too familiar with them. I guess they know certain artists or bigger artists … like your 50s, Justin Timberlake, Eminem. But certain people they don’t know. You can have a big record over here, they don’t know. They don’t know who Hurricane Chris is; they think that’s really a hurricane.”

This is the one thing I was remembering myself, 50 taking Loso on tour with him a coupla times…Fab even shouted him out for it when he was doing some promo for this new album, in a Thisis50 interview, saying, yeah, let’s go do it again….so it’s one thing when you put up constructive criticism or an objective statement….but this came off too much like Loso was biting the hand that’s previously fed him….not a good look….

Fab needs to get off twitter and either:
a) make a non r&b hit without features
b) write a classic album
c) win a non twitter rap battle with someone not named Lil or Yung
Last time I checked D Block and 50 Cent have done all of the above.
The only thing keeping Fab on the blogs is his twitter beefs with Lil Mama and Yung Berg.

fab knows his influence on twitter. whatever he types gets seen by thousands of people and RT to one another very quickly. 50 shouldnt have said anything at all.
50 is not the reason NY is the way it is. NY is a place of many lyrical MC’s therefore its going to be competition no matter what. there has been many beefs, battles, whatever you want to call it before 50 even entered the game.
50 just took it to a higher level. ive never seen anyone do to an artist what 50 has done to many artists esp rick ross.
If u look at it ..50 pertty much went against alot of people jay z went against. not saying 50 is following jay in any sort but 50 entered the game with his street knowledge and he applied it to the rap game
LIKE 50 HAS BEEN SAYING. WHAT HE LOVED IN HIP-HOP IS SLOWLY FADING AWAY..WELL ..THATS WHY HE DID THE THISIS50 CONCERT. HE WANTED TO EXPOSE UNCLE MURDA..COREY GUNZ..AND THESE OTHER ARTISTS TO SHOW THAT THERE IS TALENT OUT THERE AND THEY COMPANIES ARENT SPENDING MARKETING DOLLARS ON THESE ARTISTS. EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT HOW NY LEFT…BUT 50 IS BRING IT BACK…ONCE AGAIN…JUST AS A TEAM

It is interesting when people read into comments at face value.
Even 50 himself said that 50 cent is a character he made up.
The real man is a smart and savvy businessman, and he’d rather have you think he’s dumb if you want to. That’s another law.

Fab didn’t say anything that wasn’t true Fif did play a huge role in isolating NY hip-hop artist from each other. It’s just fact. Thats the way it was back then that’s no diss. Things since then at least for the moment seemed to gotten slightly better so why make a big deal out of something that’s really not. However we are talking about 50-cent so of corse he will make it a big deal probably drum up some non-sense beef and animosity, of corse conveniently around the precise time a new 50-cent album will be released only proving Fab right in the first place. So this is how it’s gonna start so the warm fuzzy Fif lasted what 1 day maybe 2. Well here we go if it’s gonna happen lets do this already commence the beef and let the blogging begin.
I will say this Fab’s may be only a moderate hip-hop star he doesn’t have the career Fif does, but he does have the lyrics to murder anyone. I remember his mixtape days he is not to be taken lightly on the battling tip dudes like him the clipse don’t get tested much at least successfully cause they have that quick wit and punchlines for days that is perfect for battling.

Banks lyrics/punchlines are cool, but he doesn’t have the right delivery to me, too monotone, and when he tries to switch it up, I feel like its ‘forced’. That being said, I’ll be honest and say I haven’t listened to Banks for a minute, so maybe he’s shown some growth over the last few years….

The Clipse are from my area in Virginia and they really suck bad. They got a good catchy song out now and some ok mixtape tapes, but as far as battling they would be clowned very quickly. Non-sense rappers. If crack was that plentiful out here I would be rich.
And fab said he would never get at 50 via his twitter account if anyone really read it. He has no beef with 50. He just was tyrannical during his first years out and got to the point of stupid business. (Inspector deck law: just sit back and watch him play himself…. again.) 50 that is.

Banks? I never said anything about banks yeah he’s ok I guess also pretty good at that heavy punchline diss/mixtape thing but unfortunatly it’s the only fucking thing Banks can do Mr. Monotone Marble mouth aka Banks couldn’t have a hit if kanye wrote it for him, he’s a glorifed mixtape rapper and only that and has the sales to prove it. Now fab is the complete package one of those rare rappers that can easily fill both spaces mixtape diss tracks or radio singles and albums Fab has yet to put together a complete album but is always good for 3-4 hit singles a year and he’s the feature king! esp on an RnB track . The dudes way more versitile then banks and clearly just an all around better rapper, Banks had no buisness in this situation at all and would only embarrass himself and 50 if he were to get involved.

But what fab said is so true. This nigga 50 destroyed ny rap. Had niggas like enemies. Now one of the laws is destroy and rebuild, nah man u cant build it back the way u want it to be. With lames like jenny jones and fagtana leading the way. Some people liked it when ja was the biggest thing in hip hop, evidently fab did. Everything in ny hip hop wasn’t perfect back then, but niggas was at least selling records. Fab speak ya mind. Like u can’t get mad, cause deep inside nobody from d-block or ny rappers like 50, they did that show for a check. Y’all think most artist like 50??? They fear him, except a few, that’s y they don’t say shit. 50 wants it like this and nobody can’t tell me otherwise. Ny rap is wack. But 50 wanted it like this, the gimmick rapper, always need a publicity stunt to sell a record. Not jay, u see he’s still authentic in how he goes about hip hop and his album. Fab ain’t say nothing wrong, and 50 don’t got no friends even Lloyd banks is afraid of him. C’mon man, WTF??? Niggas is blind and still holding on to his first album. Y’all niggas only look at it from a stan point of view, but look at it as a whole and look at the state of ny hip hop besides jay.

I think the difference people express in regards to 50 is that other NY beefs had legitimate roots.While 50 many times creates conflict for personal gain. There no “reason” to be beefing with D-Block..
I’ll use the beefs mentioned earlier
Jay vs Fat Joe
Jay vs Dipset
Mobb Deep vs Nas
Nas vs Nature/Cormega
Jada vs Beanie Siegal (
Fat Joe vs Cuban Link
Ja rule vs DMX
Maino vs Little Cees
Lil kim vs Foxy Brown
They all had true personal roots and that didn’t stop them from interacting with each other. And that’s common everywhere.Local artist clash.Cash money and No Limit beefed….
5o just has to show and prove.He puts out quality music and builds with these artists beyond this 1 event then its a beautiful thing.

what do u mean while these beefs were going on that they could interact with each other??? nas still can’t walk through queens bridge without the right people around him…dmx and ja just squashed their beef the other day…fat joe and jay have never did a show together..and dipset and jay never officially crossed paths with each other..

let me break it down what I mean….I’m speaking about beef by association. Joe had issues with Jay but Joe wouldn’t blinding attack an artist thats cool with Jay.Dmx and Ja beefed but Ja never blindly popped off at artists that fucked with X.As for Nas walking through QU that’s street shit and that’s for whoever wants to entertain it.
Basically 50 had a legit beef with Ja and extended it needlessly. D-block and Gunit were recording music together, that I still have, less then a yr b4 New York, New York came out.There was no organic source for that 50’s beef with Kiss/Dblock or Joe. And the fans of hip hop knew that. From that point on his beefs were suspect till Ross referenced is childs mom.

Remember when Nino grab that little girl in New Jack City and used her as a shield? That’s what 50 did with all these stupid ass rappers that came to perform. Most of them there had some type of problem with Jay so that’s why he invited them. And 50, Fab ain’t Rick Ross and Jay will definitely body U. He’ll shit on any record U can put out.

Every rapper 50 is helping who has had problems with him in the past need to read the second law of power….. “Law #2: Never put too much trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies”…Jadakiss, styles p, and sheek he’s talking about you niggas.
That said, fabolous has a point. This nigga 50 did divide NY. The fact that he is changing doesn’t change what he did. And fact is, he is only using these people. He don’t give a damn about these niggas. Don’t let the hugs fool you.

Fab was just voicing his opinion. What is the big deal? He is speaking the truth. From the beginning when he joined shady records. 50 was exiling himself from working with other rappers. Which is the reason for his slight downfall.
Matter fact the whole shady camp did it. It wasn’t going to last long. I remembering a couple of years ago 50 was saying he aint fucking with niggas that wasn’t shady/Gunit. I guess he finally matured as a man and business man. This shit nothing to get hyped about . Unless 50 disses fab on his next track. Which I hope he doesn’t .

Grant it Fab was right on his thinking but you know Fif take everything out of porportion!

Really don’t care if it was a misunderstanding or not. Bottom line is: Fab STAY OFF TWITTER. It’s such a feminine web site.
From XXL:
Jeezy doesn’t Twitter. “I’m definitely not going to be the n!55@ up there Twittering,” says the 31-year-old Jay “Young Jeezy” Jenkins. “Like, ‘I’m walking in the club. I’m getting in my car.’ You know what I’m saying?”

Truthfully, I don’t know what the big deal is, they are both just expressing their opinions. I can see Fab’s point and I can see Fif’s. Fab seeing how Fif went at Nas, Jada,Ja, and Fat Joe, he’s probably thinking why does dude want to unite now, because he isn’t so hot? Remember, Fif went at those artist because around that time, Preme was being prosecuted and they started the “Don’t Snitch” campaign which was a subliminal diss or a way of saying that Fif snitched. That was the reason he went at most of them.
From Fif’s standpoint, he probably thinking this is one of the “ONLY” Nyc artists that I gave love to and actually took on tour and this is how he feels?
I understand both of them, just hope they keep in conversation. I really don’t want to see a Fab vs 50 battle.

50 responded VERY mild to Fab. I think 50 thought it was a jab at an honest attempt he was trying to make and thats where he took offense to it. I know thats how I felt when I read Fab’s twitter post. I love the way Fab’s twitter followers responded. The only way this will be blown up if blogs and other media outlets blow it up and during interviews ask 50 about it because they know they love 50 for his drama although they take shots at him about it!!!! 50 has alot of power and everybody knows this. Fab made a statement about someone who is big and as much as he has been geting attention from twitter he should have expected a response period! There was a division in NYC before 50 and it will be after. Did 50 have influence over the division? Yes he did. So 50 trying to make a positive change and negativity still follows him. Interesting!! I do think Fab made a valid point and I respect him for being honest, but I can’t help feel it was a little jab from Fab and even you missinfo! I am a fan of Fab and I know he did not mean any harm, but when you give your opinion you better be prepared for others not to agree!

Fab is a grown ass man. obviously he’s not scared of 50 ……any more. Rick Ross not going out business took the sting out of 50’s BITE. Lil Wayne has taking the young base that 50 took from JA. They r more or following weezy songs, then beefing. So 50 way is playing out. SO he destroyed JA and poor Young Buck. But Fat joe and RR lives(bad 4 50). Plus 50 voices his opinion about everyone when he feels like it(dUDES R TIRED OF HIS BULLY TACTICS). Fab has a big homie so he can’t be shut down if 50 wanted too.

And as for 50 taking shots at Jay, 50 had taken shots at Jay in the past. Why didn’t Fab spoke up then? He is now on the seeking attention mode as the rest, hoping that 50 would not resist and come at him at gain attention. He need to do what 50 did…go take some of that money and get his teeth fixed.

missinfo, fab didn’t say 50 was the reason why hip hop in NY was crumbled. He said 50 was “1 of” the reasons which is true. The way you crumble NY’s hip hop scene is by taking down their artist. 50 played a role in the decline of 3 of NY’s biggest artist (Cam, Fat joe, and Ja rule). 50 himself will take credit for fucking up their career. You can’t tell me those 3 niggas fallin off didn’t contribute to NY hip hop being at an all time low. Further, people have been saying for years that the lack of unity is one reason why NY hip hop has declined and some of that lack of unity came from 50 cent. 50 isn’t the reason why hip hop in NY crumbled, but he sure as hell played a part in it.

Aight, let’s be real here. Is Fab really jealous about NOT being on THAT show? C’mon son! No one on that show, besides Fif is even worth mentioning. Uncle Murda? Maino? Cory Gunz? Trav? Be for real! These niggas will NEVER make it out of the tri-state. Yall let yall opinion disguise the truth. I love Slaughterhouse, but who is checking for them on a large scale? I fucking love The LOX. I think they’ve made a pretty big mark on the game, lyrically. But can do they shows like that OUTSIDE of the tri-state? Yall are buggin.
And ANYONE who thinks Fif is still holding his top position in the rap game is a straight up idiot. PERIOD. I have ALL of dude’s albums but his career is FINISHED. No one is checking for “Before I Self Destruct.” His new single is basura and the fans are over him. And we all no if he’s not popular Banks and Yayo aren’t either. I’m a Banks fan too. Got all his albums and mixtapes but even I can admit he’s been making the same songs since 2003. All the 5 or Better mixtapes he’s put out have sounded like one looooooong ass song.
This is why NY stay losing. Niggas is focused on the wrong shit. Hot 97 got yall fooled. Them niggas aint getting NO airplay ANYWHERE else in the country.

No can’t get any other rappers BESIDES the cats on the NY mixtape circuit. He lost the South and Mid West when he kicked Buck out and dissed Kanye. The West ride with that skitzo The Game. He needs some type of support. His alienated himself and it proving to be his downfall.

One of the highlights of this year is Fabolous asserting himself as a person with a personality. We all knew he was a witty MC but now we see that wittiness on display with his sharp sense of humor with his tweets on Twitter and the infamous parody of Dame Dash’s Def Jam rant with his Pizza Party rant online which was pretty funny. NYC unity issues are alot more bigger than Fif but that is for another post. I don’t think that Fab was jealous that he wasn’t at the event because if nothing else Fab gets the radio love all day. Everyone else on that bill, with the exception of Fif, does not. Cory’s not signed, LOX is still looking for that mainstream come up, Papoose is still trying to get his buzz back, who the hell is Trav, Maino really is the victim of bad timing due to TI getting locked up and not having that dude to help push him to the next level. And the only people at the event that Fif really had issues with is The LOX. It’s hard to judge Fif sincerity cause on one end he’s bringing The LOX out to do a small set and talking unity, and on the flip side he is still taking shots at Fat Joe online. So if this unity concert thing become sort of an annual hood version of a Summer Jam then I’m all for it. So don’t shit on Fab. He said what we all are thinking. Just look at those pics and some of that video footage of Fif and The LOX and look at the LOX’s faces and body language. That tells the story right there.

This may bring 50 and other NYC rappers to do more work together, but I don’t think that’s the point. 50 wants to get Thisis50 to be a viable concert machine, across the whole country….and he’s probably gonna get it done. Rappers might not give two shits about 50 himself, but they take a look at all those hits that Thisis50 gets and they change their mind….

I think fab made these comments just because 50 called jay-z a punk lol Fab is extra sensitive about jay-z which is obvious with the t-pain situation. 50 is far from the reason ny is down in fact he was one of the few shining lights of the city for a while. 50 goes at artist from everywhere lol weather it is the south or west coast. If you look at the concert it wasnt really people 50 ever had problems with there anyway besides D-Block not to mention even if if its odd to see him AROUND other artist whats wrong with that why look down on a man doing positive things for others careers no matter what his intentions are after the fact. Fab is more of the reason for NYC taking a backseat then 50 because fabolous has yet to drop an album that really made any noise (Classic) unlike 50.

When that money rolled in, it seems like some friendships were fractured (like Fat Joe & Kay Slay) some people were now mysteriously off of labels (Styles P.) and some artists now couldn’t work with other artists (like Havoc producing for certain NY artists) and that’s just the stuff we know about!That stuff kind of stuff happened before 50, but he definitely took things to another level. If someone were asked to list the people that were part of reason why NY was fractured, his name would be high on the list, at least to the public. Fab didn’t say he was the only reason, but is he ONE reason? Certainly

Bu would Fab ALSO admit that his daddy Jay Z is another one of the reasons? I think not..he’s probably salty at Fif for some other reason.

I think the salt is coming from the amount of publicity that this one show got..I mean they had MTV on site…not writing about it after the fact but actually there…
alot of not so mainstream artist got a major look from this show..plus to hear that this will not only be yearly but be national…and u know 50 can take this international as well..so this means alot of money to be made
50 may have created a monster with this show and in a good way…

It pisses me off when people say 50 hate rappers and dont help or deal with other rappers? Who does papoose, Uncle, Wale and Maino all credit for helping them? Who helped that little booty queens rapper trav get attention? Who signed Hot Rod and put him on a track with Mary J? Who signed Mob Deep and put them out with a classic album? Who tried to bring Mase back? Who helped promote and produce LL album when Jay-Z shitted on it and buried it?? Who helped Freeway?? Who helped Lil Scrappy? Who save The Game from getting dropped? Who signed Young Buck and gave him a platform when Cash Money just sat his ass on the bench?? Who wrote a hit for Lil Kim?

The show was definately a hit, but nothing FAB said was a lie, jus admit he had a point. I don’t thin he was taking shots, but the public’s too dumb to realize that I think, 50 gon take shots at FAB now every chance he gets that’s his MO and everybody knws it

Yeah it is, he said Fifty is the reason for NY rap scene crumbing. So him dissing other NY rappers, how is that different than Jay/Nas, that divided the city more than any NY beef, Cam/Cease, Cam/Jay, Dblock/Roc, I can go on, whats different? Nobody is denying that he has had beef with alot of NY rappers, but to say he is the reason NY rap crumbled is a joke, 1 man cant be the reason, why couldnt Jay, Nas, Joe, Jada, Ja, Cam, Lox, Murder Inc etc all unite to go at Fifty, to unite NY to put NY back on the map?
Second, so what if he takes shots, thats the thing, people like you are like oh Fifty taking shits, thats his MO, its exactly what he has said before, people see what I do, but they dont see the slap that started it, they dont understand that he is reacting to something else. Its Fifty started the cam beef, yet Cam called up drunk, filming himself and started to act hard, or Ross doing Mafia Music, or Joe and Khaled re starting the beef after it was all but dead, they just see Fifty made a diss song video, Fifty did this, Fifty did that, and again, Fiftys MO is to diss fab now, but I guess this shit just didnt happen, where Fab just came at Fifty and attacked him for doing something good for NY, whats Fab doing for NY?

50 didn’t help NY rap scene like the southern rap dudes do for each other. 50 fought everybody and anybody….

I hope Fab See’s Now that being affiliated jay z doesnt mean your entitled to everything and anything. Fab played himself here…he seems real bitter and upset that he wasnt invited to perform at 50fest. Oh well sucka. Regardless i went to 50fest and it was by far the best concert i been to all year. All NY mc’s and it was most def a moment for NY history

I don’t know what really happened but I heard that he just never responded to 50’s invitation. the right thing to do would’ve been to respectfully decline. And I didn’t hear ANYTHING about his Roc-A-Fella/Jay-Z affiliation.
As far as his comments go he has the right to his opinions and 50 knows what he did and what he’s doing. I feel like he needs to address the fact the he was beefing w/ The Lox, etc. and say that he’s had a change of heart recently.
He loves throwing shots and saying “buzz” words to get a reaction imo. I.e. ” Ahh The Gay Tour” “Jay-Z is the coolest punk in hip-hop”
WTF? “Where they do that @?”

Fab needs to just shut up, I still dont see how anyone can say that Fifty is the reason for NY crumbling, if your saying he is the reason they aint together, how can 1 man be the reason? So Ja, Joe, Jada, Styles, Jay, Nas, etc all couldnt unite NY and say who needs Fifty?
Oh or is it what Fab said today, that Fifty was so powerful he hurt these other rappers careers, so that made people feel like NY rap is shit. So its cool for anyone else to have beef, Jay can beef with Nas, Joe and Pap, D BLock/Roc, Cam/Cease, Cam/Jay, Cam/Jimmy, all that shit is fine, but Fifty has beef with them, then thats not ok, he cant come out and do that, he killed NY hip hop.
Give me a break, did he start beefs? Yes, some he didnt, he beefed with Jada/Joe cause they for one were on a song with Ja, who he has a real beef with, that right there is siding with him, then in that NY NY song, Ja dissed Fifty, and Jada/Joe are on the song, in the video, to me, thats a co sign of Ja in his beef with Fifty. Plus Jada has a line about you might get rich but you still gonna die or something, Fiftys album GRODT, on a song with Ja, Ja dissing Fifty, Jada spits that line, you cant see him taking offense to that? Ok, I do think FIfty is smart, maybe he didnt care about that, he saw a shot to create buzz by dissing Jada/Joe, cause the Ja shit was played out by then, ok, but you cant say Cam aint start that beef, Ross made that diss song, other than that, Fifty said some shit in interviews about liking Ross shit and him beefing with Joe so Ross should stay out of it, but Ross made the first diss song, he was done with the Joe beef until Joe/Khaled did the Rap City shit, so he doesnt always start the shit.
But to say he is the reason for NY rap crumbing cause he was so big and powerful that he hurt the other rappers careers by beefing with them, its like, grow the fuck up, whats stopping them from making hot music, selling shit, getting at Fifty and uniting NY against fifty, shit If I were Fifty I wouldnt care about NY, they turned there back on him right after GRODT.
About uniting NY, he is doing a show for the fans, getting lesser acts on, I dont see how that is a way to help him cause his career is over like some say, yeah getting Maino or Murder to do a show, how does that help his career? I dont see that.
Whatever, Fab should just shut up, he twitters too much, you dont mean it, dont say it, but he loves the attention.
I dont think this will turn into a beef unless Fifty goes at him now.

Awwwwwww 50 fans is getting sensitive. 50 CENT IS WACK, his whole crew is WACK. They were on top for what 2 years. THISIS50 is not run by 50 Cent, he hired a bunch of white boys to run that shit. None of that shit is his ideas. JoeBuddenstv is actually run by Joe Buddens which is why his website is more interesting.
None of those guys is getting put on because of a concert done in NYC. How about doing that shit in Florida,Atlanta,LA,oh I forgot NO ONE WOULD SHOW UP.LOLLLLLLLLLLLL
Miss Info,50 Cent fans just don’t understand. He’s OVER.
50 CENT is wack son(for the NY heads son).

If you dont like him fine…but your info is WRONG. 50 actually talks to and interact with his fans on his website…his website is bigger than buddens so yes he needs help, all that technical stuff..And yes they would show up…dont know what planet you are from cuz you seem like ya under a rock or just hatin like a b*tch. 50 Cent fans are that…fans. obviously hes not over…just because you think so..dont make it concrete..who are you anyway?..nobody.

i respect wat fab said i just feel that most readers can be a little bias on subjects wen it comes to their favorite rappers we’re gonna keep it a buck i feel that this new 50 is goOd we need to get the city back in order… and i would had like to see fab up there for 50 festival that would’ve open more doors for him keep Jay and 50 by yaside…. And now wen fab said wat he said you only got look at it from a stand point of it some how being the truth i feel that at the beginning wen us New Yorkers fell off 50 should’ve did wat he’s doing now maybe Cam & Jim would’ve still been talking maybe Stack Bundles would’ve still been alive who know’s but i’m also not the biggest 50 fan but if he’s tryna start that movement i strongly support him …but i don’t think he should be mad or feel disappointed to fab’s comment and just keep a conversation between themselves cuz if he’s really tryna bring the city back than that should be dust off the shoulders and just LOL ….i don’t want them niggaz to beef tho …

I have said this for years.. But now 50 is trying to build or put his crew in a better space and he need these other rappers fans.. So it is in his interest to be friendly with these other ny rapper.. But things will change soon.. He has a cd coming so..
And remember the Fab and Banks beef.. There’s not enough room to let everyone live….
