    and it’s not a Jay-Z vs. 50 Cent conversation, those are obsolete, 50 Cent’s mind can not comprehend how deep dead prez can get, simple. but that puffy line was tight, if anything, 50 wasn’t trying to prove that he’s nicer than them, mostly showing his respect as he used that beat to tear puffy a new one… but no way 50 Cent is better than dp

    I like what 50 said once, when he asked about the socially conscious rappers..

    he said something like this:

    “I like Common Sense, Talib, Dead Prez….because they bring something to the table, that I can’t…
    Everyone can’t bring everything to the table, so I can appericate when someone brings something, that I don’t..”

    Basically he kinda saying that he don’t have the capacity and knowledge to bring that kinda off stuff to the game, so he doesn’t try to front either…He brings what he’s been around and his experiences…
    But when someone else speaks from another side, he appericates it, cause he can’t…

    i’m not mad at 50, i don’t give a shit about what he raps about. if his fans are mad, or mad at him for rapping about AYOOO that’s his problem and that’s what he has to say to calm them down or make them squirt like you do. 50 means that but when he’s on BET saying: “no i know exactly what i’m saying, i’m conscious”… you’re only making yourself look like an idiot by telling them not to ask you the conscious rapper questions

    ^^^ Nah…That was never 50′s lane…. He never brought that type of material out there, even since the beginning…

    If he were to switch it up now and spit that consicous shit, (why would he?…he would be frontin if he did, cause he ain’t about that), he would lose some of his fanbase and not gain anymore…
    He would lose the people who are conditioned to here 50 rap in the lane he’s always been…
    And he would not gain anymore fanbase, because the new people would look at it, like he’s frontin or lyin…

    I agree with what 50 said in that interview….

    its not at all…but what niggas dont understand is if u come from the hood, and u have 25 or so years of shit built up…your album is gonna be the shit…

    but once u get that money, u gotta switch it up…when 50 makes a song about some hood shit niggas say, why he rappin hood? hes rich…

    when he makes pop songs for the charts niggas say, man why 50 making that wack ass shit…
