50 Cent -vs- Hip Hop
Is 50 Cent, hip-hops bully according to Merriam Webster defines a bully as an overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people. So by Merriam Webster's Dictionary 50 wouldn't fall under the category of a bully. But what is, is annoying VERY! Any grown man who goes after others for no reason is a coward. Yeah I said it a COWARD! 50 jumped started his career calling our Murder Inc's artist Ja Rule. He released a song called "Wanksta" and took shots at Ja Rule. After 50's release Ja failed to release another #1 album. After 50 cooked up beef with Ja he became one of Hip Hop most successful artist. But without his fair share of drama.
Since his rise to stardom in 2003, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, has cooked up beef with everyone from The Game to Rick Ross. Mr. Jackson's action is borderline bitchy, you would think a man as successful as 50 would not have insecurities of any kind. 50 cooks up beefs, just in time for his new released and what ever rapper at that time that is getting more play than he is, it the next contestant on his beef list. In 2005, 50 managed to cook up a big pot of bullshit when he got upset that The Game made statements saying that he will not participate in 50 feuds. 50 then managed to have negative things to say about Bad Boy Record's records and CEO Sean Combs regarding Combs refusal to release Mase from his contract. 50 released a song called Hip Hop taking shots at Combs, impling that Combs was responsible for his friend Notorious B.I.G's murder. He went on to make a reply to Ja Rule's New York, New York called Piggy Bank taking jabs at Nas, Jada Kiss and Fat Joe. Not that 50 didn't have enough drama, he managed to brew up yet another pot of beef, this time with Diplomats CEO, Cam'ron. 50 called Koch Records a "graveyard" said that they only sign artist after their career has died. 50 continued to take jabs at other rappers over years, he took a shot at Rocafella C.E.O and Def Jam's ex-president Shawn"Jay Z" Carter but unlike the other artist Jay had a trick up his sleeve. Jay took the drama to the stage of New York's Summer Jam, where 50 opened up for Jay and Jay followed his opening act with the lines "I'm bout a dollar, fuck a 50 cent" as the crowd cheered, I'm sure Curtis was filled with embarrassment for the 1st time he was the one everyone was laughing at.
The laughter didn't stop there. Jay's artist Kanye West and 50 released albums on the same day and from there a friendly competition started. Friendly, is what it wasn't 50 declared on National television that if Kanye out sale him that he will retire from rapping. Opening week sales came in and the winner was crowned Kanye, Kanye successful defeated 50 not only in the US, also in Canada and UK. Kanye sold over 3 hundred thousand more copies than 50 release "Curtis". The country laughed when 50 retracted his statement that he will hang up his mic. In the spirit of good ole fashion mockery. Kanye's record label released a congratulations commercial on MTV and BET. With a little taste of his own medicine you would think that 50 would throw the towel in. Unfortunately, for us 50 kept his fuckery up, but with new targets.
His new targets Lil Wayne, New Orleans rapper who was introduced to us at 14 years old as one of Cash Money Records Hot Boyz. 10 years later Lil Wayne gained the success that he was deserving of. But like the Drama Queen he is 50 was not happy that Lil Wayne was more relevant than he was. So in usual 50 spirit he began to make shots at Lil Wayne. 50 called Lil Wayne "HipHop's whore" and went on to make other remarks about Lil Wayne on his song Part-Lover. After Lil Wayne refused to take 50's bait, he later went on to target Atlanta's T.I calling T.I a federal snitch. T.I like Wayne didn't take 50's bait. 50 has timely beef, they all seem to match up with his release dates for his newest project.
Just in time for his latest release 50 is now down south brewing his latest beef. At the end of January 2009, 50 release a song online called "Officer Ricky". This time he is taking jabs at Rick Ross. For this fight 50 entered Hip Hops retirement home and picked up Trick Daddy. Afterwards he stopped by Slut Buckets "R" Us and picked up Jackie O and Rick Ross baby mama Tia. Together with Tia, they have made vlogs for you tube, claiming that Tia has a great story and gives her a book deal. Tia and 50 says that Rick Ross persona is a fake. Where did all this come from no one knows, but this is another one of 50's hissy fits. Well as usual I have to end this with a Jay Z quote " Men shouldn't be jealous that's a female trait"
Heres my 2cents (no point intended) 50 cent, took his name from a stick up kid from Brooklyn and based his a single off of this man's life. Curtis Jackson called his single "How to Rob" where he tells a story on how he would scheme and rob, New York rappers, Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Puff, Mase, Jay Z and others. Funny thing is Kelvin Martin was just that a robber, a stick up kid.
On the streets the term 5-0 means police, (see the picture I'm painting, follow me I will take you there) Mr. Jackson, was named on the indictments of Murder Inc's Irv Gotti. So is 50 working with the police? (that's what he accused T.I of) Well he suppose to be a man of the streets but he did file a complaint on Ja Rule and other Murder Inc artist, when they ran up in 50 studio and delivered 50 a big basket of knuckles and fist. After Beef DVD series found court records stating that Curtis Jackson filed for a restraining order against Ja Rule and Black Child. So, in lamest terms Curtis Jackson isn't who he says he is either. Besides suffering from extreme jealousy he also have a case of delusion. On this blog we will call him Curtis Jackson from now on, we will not participate in him stealing someone else identity.
Leave a comment....Lets hear what U think about Curtis Jackson.....

Where My Girls At?
Its a man's world and it would'nt be anything without a woman or a girl. In 2008 Trina was the only female emcee to drop a new CD. So where my girls at. Since the birth of hip hop women have always played a big part in the success of hip hop. So are we getting lost in a man's world, or we the reason for our on extinct. I'm not sure. Women fought to be a part of a male driven business, in the early 80's men were purchasing 90% of hip hop music. In the early 80's a female emcee was rare. Until a 14 year old broke down the door at hip hop. When she went after a mainstream group UTFO with her response to their hit "Roxanne, Roxanne". Roxanne Shante was the first female emcee to get major play on radio with her hit "Roxanne Revenge". Men had to take notice that the girls could do what they do and BETTER. Roxanne Shante was the first to have mainstream exposure. Salt-n-Pepa took a page from Roxanne Shante book and recorded a response to Dougie Fresh and Slick Rick "The Show", and came with their song "The Show Stoppers". Hip Hop's first female super group was a sexy, but had what it took for the boys to take notice. They paved the way for other female emcees. But the road they paved would remain a rocky road. The boys could not let the girls take over there game. But there was one girl to give the guys a run for their money. MC Lyte, younger sister to Audio Two (Milk Dee & Gizmo) Lyte watched her brothers perform their hit "Top Billin" and fell in Love with hip hop. She dressed like the boys, unlike the girls before her. She commanded the attention with her Timbs and leather bomber jackets. With her tomboy style she was able to go head to head with the boys.
New Jersey born Queen Latifah came with a new style and meaning to ladies of Hip Hop. With her hit Ladies first, she bragged about women no longer playing second fiddle to the guys. But, not until 1994 would a woman solo artist be able to accomplish what Da Brat did with her first solo album Funkdafied which was certified platinum. Da Brat like Lyte was lyrical, and a tomboy. She came with a differnt sound. Her sound was more playful, it was party music. While Puff Daddy and Notorious B.I.G introduced us to Ghetto Fab, they also introduced us to Lil Kim in the mid 90's Kim came into the game with nothing but a matching panty and bra set and fur coat. She was sexier than the girls before her, she was more explicit and she talked about what the guys talked about but from a womans point of view. Kim became hip hops first sex kitten. She may have also been female emcees gift and the curse. Another New York native, Foxy Brown also dropped in the mid 90's like Kim she was sexy but her lyrics were a little harded she was spitting like a guy with a skirt and heels on. She was the protege and dream child of Rocafella Record CEO Jay Z. But Kim and Foxy influenced female rappers after them like no other female rapper was able to do before them. Before Kim and Foxy every female rapper had their own image, their own style, their own story. After these two New Yorkers walked into the game, every other girl wanted to talk about their designer bags, how good their sex was, and paying like you weigh.
Late 90's the game was screaming for another female with her own style, her own sound. Super producer Missy Elliott was that much needed break away from, Louie bags and good coochie. She was not a size 4 and she had a different style. Her music was more universal, it was sunshine on a rainy day. She had a hard beats that the boys had, but with a different dance flavor. Lauryn Hill is 1/3 of super group the Fuguees. She brought a her own unique sound to hip hop. She was a rapper/singer she could spit, but she could sing. She displayed a differnt sound and look for hip hop. It was a more conscience look. Philly rapper, Eve came into the game on a motorcycle. Like the loud pipes from the bike she was on she also was making big noise with her first single "What ya Want". Eve, like Lauryn and Missy their image was a cleaner image, a positive imagine and their music was broader than the ladies before them. Since the beginning of Hip Hop every woman went on to create another outlet for female emcees. So who's next, and what's next for female emcee.
Miami Mami Trina made an attempt in dropping a new CD in 2008, but some where in the revolution of female emcee, Trina was lost. She is still rapping about the same topics Kim and Foxy tapped on in the mid and late 90's. With the music business not being as kind as it was in the eighties and nineties an artist have to be more commercial, you have to revolve. We cant afford to spend $10 on another CD and your still talking about the same things from your previous CD. Rap music like everything else is a evolution you have to be more than an rapper you have to become an artist. Your art has to be captivating to make it in a "dog eat dog business".
Like always I have to give you my top 10, but this one is a little different I have two top 10's the first one is Top 10 Female Emcees who created a different look and sound for them. Its my top 10 of emcees who made their place in hip hop history with their own unique look and sound. And the second one is my top ten female emcees of all time.
10.) Mia X- Mostly known as the first lady of No Limit Records. Mia X made her debut during the Lil Kim era she introduced us to her sound, it was feminine but raw. She had the flow of the guys but with in a girly tone. She was not a size 4 but she did have a sex appeal, despite that.
9.) Shawnna- Known as Ludacris protege Shawnna has her own style and sound. She is repping for mid west (Chicago) she have the lyrics that commands your attention. Shawnna is real and raw and she always have a little for the ladies.
8.) Lady of Rage best known for her appearance on Dr. Dre's The Chronic. She came into the game rocking an old school hairstyle that she bragged about on her debut single "Afro Puffs". Rage was a force to be wrecking with she held on her own with men. She was featured on other Death Row artist projects ( Snoop Dogg "Doggystyle). Lady of Rage went from hairstylist to artist on Death Row to becoming an artist on the label. She also went on to do acting, she played Coretta on The Steve Harvey show, and Baby D on Ice Cube's Next Friday.
7.) Da Brat she came into the game when woman where finding their own look and she came in with a look unique to her. No matter how hip hop changed Da Brat stayed true to her and her look. She will always be known for her twisted pig tails, and her club friendly music.
6.) Missy Elliott- Super producer and writer laughed her way all the way up the charts( he he he ha). Missy created a new look for hip hop. Her videos were impressive, and she gaining exposure for her sassy but kid friendly image.
5.) Lisa "Lefteye" Lopes- Lefteye is mostly known the "L" in TLC, she was the crazy one in the group she created her own look, naming her self left eye because she wore a condom over her lefteye. Lisa and the girls of TLC clothes were baggy and they accessories where everything from Dr. Suess style top hats, to big carnival style glasses, and graffiti on their clothes. Even with their own style of dressing Lisa rapped about what was going on in her life. She address the fact that she burned down her boyfriend home on Lil Kim's "Not tonight", to addressing topics from selfesteem and HIV with TLC hits "Unpretty" and "Waterfalls".
4.) Foxy Brown came into the game behind fellow New Yorker Kim but unlike Kim, Foxy came into the game with a slightly different look. She was rocking couture dresses and gowns in her videos. She was more of the hustlers girlfriend than his one night stand or jump off. Like Kim she rapped about how good her sex was, but she also let men know that she wasn't afraid of them. She was their answer to woman being number two to them. In one rhyme she states that " Remember them days your were dead broke, but your now in style and I raised you, basically made you into a don"
3.) Eve the first lady of Ruff riders, coined the phrase ride or die chick, she was fierce but she was still had an edge. She was feminine but tough. She stood ground with the men. But was repping for the women. Eve was where high fashion meets streets. Her lyrics were street but her look was high fashion with a hip hop twist. Eve was inspiration to all the girls in the hood. With a denim mini skirt and $300 boots she was what the hood needed.
2.) Salt-n-Pepa introduced a look that was similar to what the guys were wearing but with a woman's touch. They rocked leather 8 ball jackets with leggins, graffiti jeans with holes and cropped t-shits, they were sexy before their time. Their music possess the same sexiness as their look.
1.) Lil Kim came into the game with a hard sexually lyrics. Kim introduced hip hop to a raunchy style she raised the bar, she lyrics made men stop in their tracks. As she bragged about drinking babies, and her gold digging antics. Kim change the face of a female emcee. Woman were trading in their leather bomber jackets for fur coats and their timbs for heels.
My Top 10 Female Emcees

9.) Roxanne Shante- At 14 years old Roxanne Shante wrote a response to U.T.F.O "Roxanne, Roxanne" and titled it Roxanne Revenge. You could hear her adolence voice, but her rhymes were tough like an adult was spitting them.

Yo Yo did more than represent for IBWC ( Intelligent Black Women Collation) Yo Yo rapped about female empowerment, but still posses what the men where checking for sexiness.

7.) Foxy Brown- At 16 years old Foxy was featured on up and coming rapper Jay Z debut single Ain't No Ni**a. Where she brags and boast about taking her boyfriend from local drug dealer to a don. Her lyrics were captivating Foxy was lyrical and sexy she was the total package.
6.) Missy Elliott- Missy changed the came and its concept of a female rapper. She is not only a rapper but she is a super producer and writer. Missy gave another image to the female rapper. Not only is Missy a rapper but she is an entertainer.
5.) Da Brat- Chicago native, Da Brat teamed up with So So Def CEO Jermaine Dupri and introduced the world to rap with a lil p-funk which they titled funkdafied. Da Brat had her own sound and her own style. Her style is a little playful and laid back.
4.) Lil Kim- Brooklyn native, Notorious B.I.G was the brains behind Kim's look and lyrics. But after Big's death Kim kept up with the winning formula that Big cooked up for her. Her style is more raunchy than they other girls and her lyrics are more explicit.
3.) Eve- The quiet to the storm that the other girls created. Eve was commanded the respect from the fella she was posed and raw. She was sexy but tough, and so were her lyrics. She was more conscience about what was going on in the world. Eve rapped about domestic abuse. She used her talent to be an outlet for others.
2.) Salt-N-Pepa- The first hip hop super group, they teamed up with DJ Spinderella for a winning formula. Salt N Pepa had what the boys had, a great DJ that could gain any crowd attention, and lyrics to match. Salt N Pepa were the first female entertainers. They danced and rapped, and sold out concerts they wrote the blueprint on female emcee/entertainers.
1.) MC Lyte- MC Lyte was before her time. She had the skills to go head to head with the boys. The swag that made you take notice. This female emcee is arguably the best female emcee ever. She was the first solo female emcee to have chart topper " Cha Cha Cha" . And the only female emcee story teller. Lyte is not only a favorite female emcee but she is one of hip hops favorite emcees.

Hip Hop was founded on the art of Story Telling. Since hip hop early days story telling was a special forum of hip hop. Its the art of putting a story on wax. The entire 16 bars was dedicated to one story. Its like an author writing a book or a writer writing a script to a movie.
Juicy was a story that deplict a man and his dream of stardom, its the reflection of that dream after he made it. Its that Dreams do come true song. Juicy is what story telling is all about. Its all about capitivaing your audience with your opening credit, and giving us an intriguing story that keeps us on the edge of our seat, right before they give you Man, I ain't see that coming close.

Rap's One Hit Wonder
Is a hot song more than a tight beat and catchy hook. Well that formula can make a hot song, but is no guarantee to a hot career. A superstar is made up of more than a hot single. There were alot of promising superstars who twinkle dimmed after there 1st hit. Heres my list of 10 of hip hops biggest one hit wonders.
10.) Craig Mack- Flavor in you ear
Craig Mack was the 1st artist to drop on Puff Daddy's Bad Boy label. After one hit and an even bigger remix. Flavor of your ear went to 9 on Billboards Hot 100 and 1 for 3weeks on Billboards R&B charts in 1994. The remix which featured labelmate Notorious B.I.G, L.L Cool J, Busta Rhymes & Rampage. Despite having the hottest song in summer of "94", Craig was over shadowed by the release of Notorious B.I.G.'s Ready to Die album.
9.) Luniz- I got 5 on it
Oakland, CA Yuckmouth and Numskull released every smoker anthem I got 5 on it in 1995. The single which went to 8 on Billboards Hot 100 in US and 3 in UK, was followed by an allstar Oakland remix which featured Dru Down, Richie Rich, Shock G, E-40 & Spice 1. Every penny pinching weed smoker had an anthem. Luniz never lit up the charts with another hit, however they seem to spark up some beefs. Fueding with fellow Oakland Rapper Too Short, The Game, Master P and Afro man.
8.) Joe Budden- Pump it Up
Joe Budden dropped 2003 summer hit Pump it up and his debut album. After winning Vibe magazine "Up Next" Award, Joe Budden was deflated. His album or second single was able to pump up fans. After being dropped from his label Def Jam in 2004, Joe made a name for his self on the mixtape circuit.
7.) Mims- This is why Im hot
Mims reached 1 with his debut single "This is why Im hot" in 2006 and stayed on the charts until March of 2007. Mims dropped his second single "Like this" which was not as hot as his first. Mims album sales never reached the peak of his lead single. And as "Hot" as Mims was in 2006, as the temperature of his 1st single dropped Mims soon found out how cold the business really is.
6.) Khia- My neck My back
Khia's 2002 debut single "My neck, my back" had all the elements of a hot single. A catchy hook and a tight beat, but it was actually the explict lyrics that made the song. Not since SWV's "Downtown" did the ladies have a song that expressed how we felt about oral sex. We got the message but as soon as we enbraced it we were over it. Khia tried to eat from the same tree as female rappers before her. But in 2002, rap music had a new 1st lady Eve who changed the game. Unfortunely for Khia noone made her aware and she was over shadowed by fans who were no longer buying into the sex sales and was about lyrics. Sorry for Khia her career never rebound in between organsims. Khia attemped a return to music with a failed attempt on VH1's Miss Rap Supreme where Khia was the 2cd lady sent packing.
5.) Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz- Deja Vu
Summer of 1998 Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz had everyone saying "Uptown Baby". Deja Vu was the summer anthem that year, selling over a million copies of the single and reaching 8 on Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, the duo never had another single and eventually split ways. Peter Gunz have retired from rapping but still have a chance at success with his son Corey Gunz.
4.) Sugar Hill Gang- Rappers Delight
Sugar Hill Gang is credited with being the first rap song. Rappers Delight was dropped in 1979 and only reached 34 on Billboard hot 100, however it was a 1 for rap. This is the only rap song that your parents would know word for word. In 1979 Rappers Delight single went Gold and inspired future artist everywhere. Sugar Hill Gang pioneered something bigger than music, and will always be 1 for that reason.
3.) Jim Jones- We fly high (Ballin)
Jim Jones took his balled with his fake jump shot and shot all the way to 5 on Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. After 3 albums Jim Jones finally got his 1st hit as a solo artist. Jim Jones is CEO of Diplomat Records and A&R for Warner Bros Music Group. Spent more time trying to assinate Jay Z character than he did in the studio. After releasing his smash hit Jim took his new found success to go after Rap Mogul Jay Z. In what some would call a retalition for Jones mentor Dame Dash and Jay ex business partner. Jones was unsuccessful at another hit single as he was at his shots at Jay Z. Maybe Jimmy should take a page from Jay's rap book and listen to Heart of the City. Then maybe Jimmy can stop dropping Fuckery like Bad Santa Christmas album.
2.) Vanilla Ice- Ice Ice Baby
No summary needed..... Rob Vanwinkle had a smash hit in 1990 with his MC Hammer inspired hit Ice, Ice Baby. Lets take a second to thank Suge Knight for his end to this fuckery.
1.) Soulja Boy- Crank Dat
Soulja Boy dropped his Myspace/Youtube smash "Crank Dat" in 2007. Soulja Boy Cranked out over a million ringtones and downloads of his Macarena inspired single. Soulja Boy started a new dance craze and a bigger craze with every other kid dropping their Crank dat Batman, Spiderman, Spongebob and just about every other cartoon character. Soulja Boy produced a hit for Bow Wow in 2008 "Marco Polo". However, Soulja Boy havent been able to crank out another hit for himself. He dropped his second album in December of 2008 and it cranked out about 45,000 sales its first week. Soulja Boy then tried another route to boost him some album sales, by trying to crank up a beef with Hip Hop Veteran Nas. Soulja Boy accused Nas of killing Hip Hop. Funny thing is in 2007 another Hip Hop Vet accused Soulja of the same thing. Well for this beef I have one on Nas. Soulja Boy just might have to crank up another gimmick cause this one has run out of juice. Nas watch out now,Im not sure your ready for Soulja Boy with lyrics like this......
Haterz wanna be me
Soulja Boy, I'm the man
They be lookin' at my neck
Sayin' it's the Rubberband Man, man
Where's Suge when we need him?

2008 was a good year for some and not so good for others, lets recap. November of 2007 Jay-Z dropped American Gangster (that debut at 1 on Billboards selling 425,861 copies) Jay set the tone for 2008. Its safe to say 2008 was good to Jay he was the first rapper to ever headling Glastonbury Festival, despite critics and rockers not approving Jay showed up and showed out. The other Mr. Carter, Dwayne that is (Lil Wayne) hit the summer of 2008 with his smash Lollipop ft. Static Major and claimed 2008. Lil Wayne's Carter III was his biggest debut and musics highest numbers of the year. Wayne sold 2.883 million copies as of today (Dec 31,2008). After 6 solo albums, Wayne accomplished more with this album than some legends in their career. Speaking of 6 Atlanta's born T.I dropped his 6th studio album "The Paper Trail" selling 568,000 copies in his 1st week. T.I showed us that you cant hold a good man down. After legal issues and the death of his best friend. Tip turned tradegy into triumph. Jay, Wayne and Tip were not the only rappers 2008 was good to Kanye, Luda, Plies and Fabolous also enjoyed 2008.
Now the Ugly, I hate to do it but some didnt have a good a year. First up, St. Louisian Nelly dropped his highly anticipated Brassknuckles, While we all held our breathe for this album it was Nelly's worst yeah WORST!! Before the album dropped Nelly dropped just about the whole album searching for a 1. Unlike his previous projects this one did not stand up to the hype. From Nelly bad mistakes to Young Berg bad comments. Young Berg after some foolish comments, and bad album sales, Young Berg was slapped up twice. You would think after taking a beat down in The D, Berg would'a learned his lesson but NO! He received a slap down from Maino. Berg was not the only clown on some fuckery in 08, his classmate Soulja Fool (I mean Boy) stole the Birdwalk, but unlike Crank Dat no one cared to flock around with him. After Cranking out a whole 43,000 units in his first week and landing him at 40 on Billboard's 200. Well Soulja cranked out a vlog claiming that Nas killed hiphop. You read it right Nas. While riding Wayne's dick harder that Karrine Steffans, Soulja also claimed that all a rapper have to do is say something like "Im the best rapper" and we all would be dumb enough to go along with it. Well seeing that Soulja has used up about 13 minutes of his 15 already. Im not holding my breathe on a Soulja Boy, Nas beef. 2008, the ecomony was in a recession that reached album sales. Heres a list of some rappers who felt the 2008 recession.
1. Soulja Boy Tell'em "ISouljaBoyTellem"
2. Young Berg "Look what you made me"
3.) Shawty Lo "Units in the City"
4.) Rocko "Self-made"
5.) Jim Jones "Harlems American Gangster"
6.) Nelly "Brassknuckles"
7.) Trina "Still da Baddest"
8.) Lil Mama "The voice of young people"
Now we did our 2008 wrapup. There a few people to check for in 2009. First off Brooklyn's own Loso (thats Fabolous for the hip hop challenged) Fab signed to Def Jam and dropped a hot album in 2007 and 07 summer's anthem with label mate Neyo (You make me better). I can honestly say Loso came into 2008 with his game face on. Fab was featured on some of music's biggest names from Britney Spears' Break the ice remix, to Neyo and Jamie Foxx "She got her own" to Red Cafe "Paper Touching" to Slim (from 112) and Ryan Leslie "Good Lovin", to Danity Kane Damaged remix. I think 2009 will be a FABOLOUS (point intended) year. While Fab will be holding our attention in 2009 be looking out for Ron Brown the man behind Busta's "Arab Money" and "Pop Champange"
