I agree rap is not like it use 2 b but given hip hop’s 911 (death of 2 of the greatest) I would hope not no one wants 2 do it 2 themselves every1 is watchin but the name of the game is MONEY what will get it and that’s where Diddy has it he is willin 2 try ANYTHING but come on when Prince did his thing it didn’t look so (yes) forced (I do like the songs but the look is off, it has me confused b cause the chicks sound NOT and the beat is off but it is different)but Prince wasn’t tryin 2 fit n (be young cool and hip) now I am not goin 2 act like its my place or business 2 b n his but come on he could have done better wit just back up singers or made his own band he does it enough instead of doin it how he did (that was jacked up) As far as 50 I am glad 2 c him n this “new light” cause it is a limited number of those who do evolve and don’t act like they r where they were when they started b cause 2 b honest like DMX said and this is no quote…pass a certain age u shouldn’t even b n the game (Jay is an ex.) u should be doing something more

That’s the thing though, has anyone heard 50’s new album? He mentions nothing about struggles at all…there’s one song where he talks about a couple of instances in his life before he made it when he was a drug dealer but other then that, nothing on this album is about struggle…it’s just a hard dont fuck with me or imma hurt you album and a couple of tracks about women etc…Fif to me is the realest in the gangsta genre, nothing about his album sounds fantasy at all, he talks about his current status but with the mentality that he had coming into fame, he’s not apologetic for getting rich etc…it’s killer music not for the weak at heart but certainly not one of those the struggle type rap albums at all.

I feel you with the fantasy. This was the reason
I felt Rick Ross originally, I thought he was the real deal. At the end of the day (as Cam would say) its all about words and how we (fans) interpret it. I personally do not want to hear 50 talk about struggles when he stars in movies, writes books, makes cologne, and sells water for 400 million dollars. It all seems scripted now and he loses all the authenticity he had when he first started.

I am not saying Ross didn’t kill this track, that he did…my reference was to everyone always replying to anything Ross does with references of 50 and their beef…yes Ross killed this track and the guy can rap but do not make the mistake of saying he is in a war with 50…he started a war, saw it was over his head and he couldn’t say much after “monkey” and he’s since been staying away from it…

As for my fav rapper…hmmmm…I cant really say I have one but I do get excited whenever 50 comes out with an album and I do buy his shit so I guess in some ways he’s my most supported which would make him my fav.

I agree with you, Rap has gone to shits…but 50 to me isn’t a fraud, not all rappers are frauds…T.I. isn’t a fraud…I give 50 a pass to make the kinds of records he makes because he has lived that life and when you listen to what he makes it’s more of a matter of mood and personality then anything else…he’s not saying he’s struggling now and has to sell drugs, he’s saying he’s a drug dealer that made it by the hook and crook and if he ever needs to he will go back to the crook…he’s also saying no matter how rich he is, he’ll always be hood and that he is…I do not see that as fraudulent..

If you listen to 50 new album which I think is a contender for album of the year, it’s almost like a prequel to GRODT and that album is mostly personality, who he is, where he comes from and dont fuck with him…nothing wrong with that…he lived the life so nothing wrong with rapping about it…it’s these dudes that never lived it have many bones in the closet coming out as thugs and so called big time drug dealers that annoy me…listen to Rick Ross, I mean the shit is soo far fetched and so idiotic…he’s a good rapper but the fantasies kill it for me…like shut the fuck up and be yourself.

JJ are you saying Rick didn’t kill this track? Who’s your favorite rapper? Tell me a rapper that isn’t a fraud? Have you seen and heard the material 50 has put out lately? He isn’t living that life anymore…..why portray that? Hiphop is a flop, not just Rick Ross….

I’m sick of every time Rick Fraud is on a track people have to make a comparison to what 50 is doing…Ross is the biggest puss I have ever seen in Hip Hop…he starts a war then quietly backs off of it…as far as their war is concerned Rick folded like Iraq in 91…he started the shit then it got too hot and he just backed off…I know his label has a gag order on him but dude be a man, you started it and no all you doing is featuring so it can look like you still breathing…if Ross puts out an album right now, you think it would make it? hell no…and 50 is the sole reason it would FLOP.

As for this Dirty Money track, worst shit I have heard in a minute…no chemistry on the track…I’m also tired of “we getting money” tracks like we get it…besides I am starting to believe the artists that are starving are putting out the most “we getting money” tracks…Jim Jones????

Don’t anyone tell me Rick Ross can’t rap ever again, cause this dude just destroyed this classic diddy beat from that classic Jay-Z song. You might not agree with the character of the person but it’s obvious the dude raps his ass off.

Cosign…. To be honest i didn’t even bother listening to the love come down track . Cause the song sounds forced like Puff trying to spoon feed the people this garbage. But i used to love jim music when he was still coming up with cam. He was the goon of the crew but he was kinda poetic as well. He dropped jewels and you could actually relate them.But now he just sounds shallow…SMH

I hope that album going “water bottle plastic” gave him a reality check.

Ross did better then I thought he would but I noticed the 50 cent comment..wtf is BISD..WAR ANGEL…FOREVER KING..the nigga been droppin heat the past few months…if ross music is so dope why it ain’t at the top of the charts…bet none of you bought triple c’s album…lol…

I don’t even think anyone is gonna buy this dirty money garbage…and that one on the right is mad ugly…I guess every1 wants to do the kanye/tpain thing….
