He didn’t really lose me on the Massacre after I actually heard the album (Ryder Music & Baltimore Love Thing = true classics), singles sucked, but tracks 9 through 16 were classic. Then he spits one of the best verses this decade on “Hate It or Love It”. Then shit goes way downhill with following movie and mixtapes. Tries to copy Nelly and failing so horribly. Games does the mixtape thing better than anybody not named Weezy. Game comes on his own, putting out “One Blood”, probably the rap song of the summer, even if it isn’t on MTV. Things could not look worse for the G-Unit commander.

Mark this day. August 30, 2006. 50 Cent drops a mixtape song that goes after the Pubic Enemy #1. Not only that, with a flow that is reminscent of Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Plus, a great beat with a deep rolling base line, seriously with my subs I can other people CD players skip with this beat. People have been calling for His head for a decade now. Nobody with enough courage to go up against his pile of money, except for disgruntled employees. People recently have been looking to Jay-Z to do this, but we forgot about the newest hip-hop tycoon. This is the best move ever in hip-hop, can anybody actually thing of a better way to instantly regain your credibilty and build anticipation for another album. Just read some of the 50 Cent threads from last week, especially that “London, London” one.

2Pac vs. B.I.G.
Jay-Z vs. Nas

Dare I say it, the next big battle:

50 Cent vs. Diddy
