Video: Should 50 Cent Make The Hottest MCs List?
The G-Unit General doesn’t flood the guest appearances and he hasn’t put out a solo LP since 2007′s Curtis, but Fif has been very active on the mixtape circuit. This summer alone he’s put out the War Angel LP and Forever King — but will that be enough to earn a place on the list? You’ll find out shortly. Fif himself told Mixtape Daily that he wouldn’t mind getting some accolades — but he doesn’t expect them.
“I made a mistake,” Fif said recently in New York City. “Early on [in my career], I said, ‘They’ll get the trophy, I’ll get the checks.’ That’s because I wasn’t receiving the acknowledgement based on the aggressive content I was putting out. I’ve been nominated for 16 Grammy awards and still ain’t got no trophies. Largest debut in hip-hop to date — they just ignored it when it was time to give the trophies out. So I just started saying, ‘They can have the trophies and I’ll have the checks.’ That didn’t mean that I didn’t have love for the actual art form. But to give a basic answer that people would understand, I would be secure with my life, I’ll continue make music, but I won’t be in front of them and get recognized. I’ll get a lifetime-achievement award after based on my full body of work. At that point, it’ll be too much for them to ignore.”
He’s saying it on purpose now. I’m sure of it.
#10 – #6 will be revealed from August 17 – 21.
#5 – #1 will be revealed during Diddy’s Making His Band on August 24th.

CIRCLE OF BOSSES
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Last night I went to the Supernat/Talib/Slaughterhouse show…
All I have to say is WOW. That shit was pretty sad man…and I know people are think I’m hating but it’s all factual. The show was kinda wack…and Budden had a couple meltdowns from the crowd chanting WU TANG LMAOOOOOOO.
You ever see some shit go down that’s almost surreal?!?! I don’t think this video is ever gonna surface but Slaughterhouse had to stop the crowd a couple times and ask for respect. I’ve never ever ever seen that go down at a hip-hop show. SMH.
Joe stopped the music all abruptly…pointed at a group of dudes on the left side of the crowd who kept yelling “WU TANG” lmaoooo and was like “listen…we love Wu-Tang. We don’t have a problem with anybody out there. All you’re trying to do is get on my nerves and if you want, we can handle this after the show”. Joe was acting all bitchy from that point on…you could see Royce and Joell in his ear just talking to him like “what the fuck is going on?” Then 15 minutes later mad dudes on the right side of the stage started chanting Wu-Tang and fuck Joe Budden, and Royce the cut the music and asked for more respect from the audience. Crooked got all heated too hahaaa.
All the mics were loud as fuck, it was like the Wu in their heydey. Too many dudes with mics turned up to 10 shouting at once. The crowd was not feeling it. AND they got heckled…actually just Budden. Royce killed it on his solo tracks, and Crooked really rocked the crowd. He poured shots to people in the crowd from his bottle of Patron, jumped in the crowd during the performance, then was taking shots with Joell and a bunch of fans afterwards.
The homies said it was like watching a comedian bomb…like stopping the music and asking the crowd to show some respect is a little too much. You can tell the other members were a little annoyed. They were grabbing Joe like “what’s wrong?” LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

50 must have trademarked “aggressive content” so he gets paid everytime he says it.
August 11th, 2009 at 11:30 am

August 11th, 2009 at 11:30 am

Why the unnecessary hate for 50?
His product isn’t the same but if he didn’t have love for the game he wouldn’t have made a career out of it.
August 11th, 2009 at 11:44 am
He definitely has been on e of the hottests artists since 2003. He just doesnt get those accolades (nhjic).
Either way lists are lists.
Will Joe Buddden get tight if they don’t mention him?
August 11th, 2009 at 11:51 am
hell no fif isn’t on the list. once you start putting real mcs on the list he’s outta there. if you put say a g rap, ra, or the chrises (wallce or rios). fif cant surrive the top ten.

[...] Right.” Outside of those cuts, the majority of 50’s recent output-a return to “aggressive content” as Curtis said repeatedly-has been some of the best in years from 50, beginning with 2008’s [...]
