Nevermind the caliber of the songs that are included on those albums. That would be insane, wouldn’t it? Read the rest of this entry »

50 Cent Feat. Tony Yayo – “I Just Wanna” Video

12.13.11 Written by Beware

What? You thought 50 Cent was too hood to rock over a KC & The Sunshine Band sample? Psh. You already know that’s the way Curtis likes it, and exactly why he did it anyways. Because, as we all know, the G-Unit chief doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks. But, he does care about money and women, which is exactly what him and Yayo can be found indulging in for their new video to “I Just Wanna,” Read the rest of this entry »

Rappers Doing Good: 50 Cent Is Right For Once

10.24.11 Written by David D.

Full disclosure: I hate 50 Cent. His crab in a barrel road to success, relentless attention whoring and baiting, and ruthless business practices have worked my nerves for the last half a decade. It’s because of 50 that so many people use SoundScan numbers as a barometer for an album’s quality. If 50 never made an album again, continued to make sh*tty straight-to-DVD flicks and fell off the face of the Hip-Hop world forever, I wouldn’t shed a tear. However, today, I find myself siding with Curtis. Read the rest of this entry »
