Oh, Fifty.
You got your life so right and your bars so wrong.
We haven’t heard you spit anything but cheap shots in months years, but now you’re trying to claim insane daisy-chained double-time rhymes like this? Really? I know you could sell fur coats to people at PETA, but I ain’t talking about a bad bag when I say this one’s a stretch. We all know B Rabbit’s loco ass wrote those straitjacket sixteens in this Before I Self Destruct drip and you didn’t. We’re not stupid. Truthfully, though, I don’t give two flying ducks. I just wish you still cared enough to show your own versatility once in a while, instead of just treading water.
Do yourself and every one of us a favor and step out of that walk-in tie-closet, put down the clown masks and show you’re capable of another flow-fest like “As The World Turns,” or a themed song like “How To Rob.” I dare you. TRIPLE-dog, actually.
We like you, 50 Cent, but at the same time…we miss you even more.

First thing I said when I heard this track was “This was probably an Eminem song that he gave to 50″.
To be honest, the entire leak was weird: It was much more refreshing, but at the same time not GRODT by any stretch, and for some reason I got my hopes up and expected that.
There were signs of life upon the first listen, but there’s only a dozen songs that are even worth replaying.
Of all the songs that coulda been chosen to highlight Fif’s regression, this isn’t one of em. Curtis (Who’s never been the most lyrical rapper) shines on this track & Em…well, Em is Em.
BISD is the album 50 Cent fans have been asking for, more “Aggressive Content”, less filler. Fif sounds like he’s actually competing again.
Everyone is so busy waiting on GRODT Part 2, Fif’s work will continue to be underrated.
agreed, i got the leak last night listened ALL THE WAY THRU, then went back to listen to the gems. and there are some gems. there is also some trash. but this time, unlike curtis the gems make up a good 80% percent of the album. i mean, its fiddy, hes not preaching revolutionary gospel or anything, but its refreshing to hear the man rap like he gives a fuck again.
death to my enemies, gangstas delite, the invitation, ok youre right, so disrespectful….all dope. bout to hit the gym right now before the NFL and you know what im throwin in the deck to ride to……
I Think Em Wrote Anything On This Track Burt His Verses BISD Is Prolly The Best Thing 50 Dropped Since GRODT I Wouldn’t Have Ben Bothered If A Few Songs Got Cut From The Final List But… All In All Pretty Solid Fucking Album
Me thinks the album is very good. I just worry for his commercial prospects because besides Baby By Me he doesn’t have enough shit for the gals on it. Aggressive content indeed…
["Me thinks the album is very good. I just worry for his commercial prospects because besides Baby By Me he doesn’t have enough shit for the gals on it. Aggressive content indeed…"]
I don’t think there’s much commercial pull on this album anyways, to me it seems like “Alright, do my album, do the greatest hits, and then start the next chapter”, Be it away from Aftermath i’m assuming, I don’t know if he has many other options other than to really be the “Dre” of his potential label.
Real 50 and G-Unit fans will cop this and that’ll be it, no crossover whatsoever
okay, you’re right should be crooked i’s track….
500k first week; wouldn’t be surprised if he only does 300k or, for that matter, 700k. as far as the album goes I think “pretty fucking solid” is a good assessment. it’s not the blockbuster I expected and to be honest probably not in the same league as B3, but it’s good. production, lyrics, charisma — it’s all there — just lacks vision.
Wale dropped a banger. I’m pleased he didn’t disappoint. You can find me at Best Buy in a week or so…
no bisd linkinge?
“Of all the songs that coulda been chosen to highlight Fif’s regression, this isn’t one of em. Curtis (Who’s never been the most lyrical rapper) shines on this track & Em…well, Em is Em.”
But he didn’t even write it! How can you give him the credit?
Will Eminem deny that verse’s ghostwrite for fiddy ? hope that question on his next interview! hope soon so cuz relapse 2 is the next aftermath rap project on the way.

==================================================================
I may have missed this but was it confirmed that he didn’t write it?
And even so, does that make it less of a song?
And for the record, I don’t think Em wrote Fif’s verse. 50 is still a talented writer. All Em had do do was give him the flow. The rest is like filling him the blanks. If anything, I can see Em coaching him but wholesale writing his rhymes? I just don’t see 50′s ego allowing him to do that.
Shit still bangs.
why couldnt fif have written this, yall act like dude has never penned some ill shit. fifs career is nothin BUT hits.
this dont sound like em’s lines…steaight up your a hater or your on crack homeboy.
This is FIRE. BEST ALBUM OF THERE YEAR BY FAR
u ppl crack me up….
Any good song 50 makes you fools say someone else wrote it.
Any thing to dis credit 50.
to me the album very good…great indeed.
IMO : the massacre >>> get rich >>> BISD >>> Curtis
in your terms : Get rich >>> BISD >>> Massacre >>> Curtis
In a women eyes : Massacre >>> Curtis >>> Get rich >>> BISD
in all he makes music to satisfy all ppl.
Holly sh*t this song sucks. I hate all 50′s stuff but I was so annoyed that I am posting a comment for the first time.
First of all props to the writer of this post for doin a good job hatin. I bet you ridin Urkels dick with his B3 bullshit. In any case if you know music you can clearly tell that 50 wrote his own verses and Em did so with his. Theres a big difference between the complexity in the poetry of their verses. Songs a fuckin classic. BEWARE you should be on MTVs judging panel for the Top 10 MCs list. You’d fit in like a glove with those idiots.
This actually sick, just show how wide 50 style spreads.
We LOVE this post. Great call my friend. We’ll take it…but give us some more bodega. We’re not idiots!
