Kanye killed curtis in the sales game.

The Genius just killed curtis lyrically (Paper Plate is one of the best battle tracks ever).

Autotune just killed curtis’s live performance.

Curtis’s shimmery shirt killed his manhood.

Curtis is dead four times at least. Can we please stop talking about this guy. He’s now as irrelevant as Ja Rule.

And the only thing I find wrong with Love Lockdown is that it is poor quality and that he’s using a vocoder….but other than that, it sounds like post-graduation material to me…..plus y’all niggas just forgot about the fact that Kanye’s probably still dealing with his mother’s loss and that situation probably made him change directions with his next album

50 stays losing….

50 on the other hand has digressed from growth and fell into a comfort zone. 50’s be chance to actually sell records and save face is to make INTROSPECT music, he needs to talk abt the demise of his brand and his struggle to get the torch lit, his custody battle with his son’s mother and make songs that tells street tales, i.e. Many Men, Baltimore Love..if he DOES NOT DO THIS and returns with the same “Ima kill ya, Ima Kill ya” rhetoric he can hang it up…he’s done. Bc as a brand he no longer viable to the consumer and other business. Which takes me to my next point.

50 is extremely rich, bar none! However, his accumulated wealth could be some much more if he DIDNT mix his personal vendettas into his business. G-Unit as a label had the opp to do something no other artist label has done in the past 10-12 years (Shady/Aftermath don’t count bc it was based of the success of 2 artists who are in turn label heads) He has a label where ALL his artist we’re stars…Banks, Game, Buck, and G-Unit as a collective. Not even Roc, SoSo, DipSet, etc had multi-plat artists…not since Death Row and Cash Money.
Anyway, this is say he has diminished his brand with petty rivalries. He’s no longer viable to be a pitch man for Reebok or Pontiac or whoever else wanted to jump onboard when he was hot. As his star continues to fade, so will the opportunities for outside business ventures.

Now to all the stans…WE KNOW he has money…and his money is so long that it make money off itself (interest and investment). However, when he drops this new album and it doesn’t reflect any growth or humility, it will SURELY flop.

And just a side bar to the ignorant, 50 BY NO MEANS has more money than Jay.
Something to remember, they made 150m and 82mil this year, respectively.
But think about the past 10years of Jay getting 10-20mil…that adds up, plus as a brand, Jay is still hot..him NOT ROC (bc that’s done too, whole other rant!)

I’ll leave y’all all on this note…you speak your existence in to life. So please speak peace, positivity and progress into your lives!
In 50’s case - Get Rich or Die Tryin (He Got Rich), The Massacre (He destroyed the east coast as rap’s Mecca), Before I Self Destruct (Prophetic in terms of the direction of his career)

Peace and love y’all and PS - go read a book or catch up on CNN and FOXNEWS (know they enemy) bc if Obama loses this elections its gonna get extra hard for everyone, esp those who choose NOT to get and education or educate themselves.
