“Numbers…. He Don’t Want To Talk Numbers” – 50 Cent

Here’s a clip of G-Unit doing promo for 50’s BISD in Paris, France during the Thanksgiving holiday. First Fif speaks with a reporter for in interview where he speaks on Jay-Z and points out he sold more records than Jay-Z in four years than Jay-Z’s 15 years in the game. The clip also follows Yayo on a shopping spree and unit rockin’ a few clubs.

“When you say something as vague as “Men Lie, Women Lie, Numbers Don’t. How do you take that as disrespect because if we did look at the numbers you’d see I did his whole career with my first two records. I did what he [Jay-Z] did in 15 Years in 4 Years.” – 50 Cent.

“After that, I won’t offer any mixtape material.”

Before Lil Wayne was setting new heights with his mixtape hustle and Gucci Mane was popping up on any and every mixtape, 50 Cent and G-Unit were known as the pioneers to the mixtape circuit and can take full responsibility for revolutionizing it and making it so essential for an artist to have before making the mainstream leap.

Unleashing mixtapes such as Guess Who’s Back and 50 Cent Is The Future were the initials staples that brought the attention of Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson to the likes of Eminem and Dr. Dre who felt it best to align themselves with such an aggressive, yet potential, rising star.

He has continued his run along with his cohorts on countless DJ Whoo Kid mixtapes and he most recently built anticipation for his fourth album with War Angel and Forever King.

All good things, however, must come to an end, as Jackson has stated that his career in the mixtape game is coming to an end with the release of his next.

Speaking with VIBE, the rapper states that the work was already in the process way before the actual album was done.

“The next mixtape was already, portions of it were already records before the release of Before I Self Destruct, but I didn’t want to release so close to the actual album where people would make comparisons between the material cause their both up to standard.”

As many feel as though his aggressive content is obsolete, there are still fans out there that want to hear that gritty, gun-toting rapper from Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ and prior to his mainstream career.

Some people just like to hear tales of violence.

“I feel like my core that really enjoys the aggressive content might  enjoy the mixtape and try to compare it to what I did, performance wise, on the actual record.  I know, hands down, the album is better, but I just didn’t want to put it out there at that point.”

Having such a long run, it only makes sense that he sheds away the past as he moves on with his career.  Already thinking outside of music, Jackson has placed his focus on films, whether he be acting or penning scripts, so it is apparent that his career is leaps from being strictly based on music.

If this upcoming, yet to be titled mixtape, is the last that fans hear from 50 Cent, hopefully the rapper can leave fans with a literal bang as the curtains close.

As anticipation begins a steady climb for the next album from rapper Game, R.E.D., he is already looking past the upcoming release with the following.

The journey for Jayceon Taylor has been quite a bumpy road in rap.  Emerging alongside 50 Cent and G-Unit to drop The Documentary and then being forcefully removed to wage war with his former rap buddies, Game has found a way to create his own identity, although there may be more than one personality inhabiting his mind.

With his upcoming release on February 16, things have come full circle as he has linked back up to once again become the doctor’s advocate with Dr. Dre.

While recording with Pharrell in the studio, DubCNN was able to speak with the rapper and learn more about the next rumored album Diary of Compton, which should follow R.E.D., and who he intends to tap into to bring the project together.

“Ice Cube is the big homie, Dr. Dre, you know, is like the father-figure or like a big brother to me in Hip Hop, Snoop is going to be down with Game.  Me and Snoop ride or die for each other in music or in the streets.  He’s like my big brother and he holds me down.  To put it together, it ain’t nothing, but it’s gonna take everybody, The Dogg Pound, Daz and Kurupt, to come together and really help me perfect that album or else I can’t do it halfway.”

“I gotta it 100% of what the definition of what Compton is to all the artists involved, myself and what people see from the outside looking in.  I want to depict Compton in a way that’s so real that you feel like you’re from Compton, if you’re not.  You feel like you see or you been through what I’ve been through in my life. “

Slated to be an album of epic proportions, the album is waiting at the batter’s cage, waiting to step foot onto the mound once it is finally ready.  As the last contractual album, the last offering can only be a smash before the curtains close, if they do, with Interscope.

“It’s on hold.  Hopefully it can be my fifth album, which would be my last album on Interscope/Geffen, but I really wanna make that happen.”

He also added more on his current process and stated that his experience with Pharrell has done nothing but give him a better outlook on the producer that made “Allure” for Jay-Z.

“Pharrell is my new favorite producer.  I got a whole new respect for Pharrell and the Neptunes, but especially Pharrell and how he do his thing man.  The way that he coached me when I’m in the booth, it’s like a Pat Reiley to a Tim Hardaway or a Pat Reiley to a Magic Johnson.  They way that he let me run point guard when I’m inside that booth is just crazy.  People don’t really understand what the Neptunes are, but if you take away the Neptunes from Hip Hop, you take away the color in Hip Hop.”

The rapper also spoke on rumors that his upcoming album will feature him linking up with DJ Premier, whom he has yet to work with in his career.

“I’m supposed to be getting with Premier before Christmas.  I hope that happens because Premier is one of my favorite classic OG producers that’s still potent in Hip Hop today, of all time, and I can’t wait to get it in with Premier.”

Calling it his rededication to Hip Hop, Game is bringing out the heavy artillery this time around to show his love and appreciation for the craft, which can only be a positive for fans.  People may not be aware of which Game will appear, but there’s nothing wrong with being unpredictable as no one knows what to expect.

G-Unit associate Lil Scrappy recently spoke on his relationship with Young Buck and 50 Cent claiming the Cashville rapper would likely not be able to mend past issues with his former camp.

Having been involved with the Unit during the promotion of Bred 2 Die Born 2 Live, Scrappy detailed where he stood during the two’s publicized rap beef.

“Buck is my homie; he’s like a big brother you never had,” Scrappy explained in an interview. “50 is also a big brother you never had. I was around both of them when they would talk about each other love-wise, and that sh*t just flipped, which is what money does. 50 is a real dude. He didn’t have to do any of that sh*t for none of us. Young Buck and Lloyd Banks were the first ones. I didn’t really get the love that they got. 50 thought they were his babies and if you talked to him, he would tell you that. Buck just saw me in the same situation that he was in, when he got shot up and ain’t nobody f*ckin’ with him. I just talked to him like three weeks ago, and he said keep doing what you’re doing, and I was like I appreciate everything he did for me. And I’m out here grustlin’ and if we can make a hit record again, we can do it. Buck and 50 beefing is like two brothers beefing, and they ain’t never going to talk to each other again, but it ain’t that beat though. They will probably get over it one day, but I doubt it just because its disloyalty. [You've] got to be loyal. Look at Lil Wayne with Cash Money: he was loyal and look where he’s at right now.” (Hip Hop DX)

I Hate to use those terms such as “flop” because the quality of music doesn’t depend on how much it sells. But for an artist who’s made hell for artists that “flopped” over the years has actually debuted lower than rick rosses last effort deeper than rap. What really happened here the discography of 50 cents albums reads out like a bad movie …get rich or die trying, create a massacre then destruct terribly. I feel somehow 50 cent planned this though because you cant cross promote a cologne a book and a cd and expect your fans to buy all of them ..considering alot of them need lunch money to do so.

What are Raekwon’s feelings, regarding 50 Cent squashing beefs with New York rappers.

50 Cent’s sales for his latest studio LP Before I Self Destruct were disappointing to say the least. The G-Unit President only managed to sell 161,000 copies of the project despite his tireless promotion and ongoing rap beefs. Now as news of his poor sales hits the net, his main rival is declaring victory over him. As previously reported, 50 took disrespect to new heights when he flew Ross’s baby mother and child to Las Vegas to parlay with himself and Floyd Mayweather. In retaliation to that and several other shots Ross spoke out against 50 at a recent concert.

Rick Ross took the stage with DJ Khaled for the 305 DJ’s birthday celebration. Before performing his hit “This Is the Life” from Trilla, he spoke on his nemesis’s poor sales week stating,

“So we celebrating my nigga birthday, but we’re also celebrating the demise of a pussy. R.I.P. to the donkey, we buried him. It feel good, nigga. Don’t look surprised, you knew we was gonna do it. There’s only one record that can describe the feeling.”

50 Cent has yet to respond but we all know it won’t be long before he does.

just when y’all thought it wasnt gonna happen, my man REMY’D has returned!!!!!! possibly the freshest artist out there (suck a FUCK kid cuddle and lupe problemo), his new niggabeat, It’s 2:25, is easily the most pronounced lyrical whackness he has ever put out there.  i swear he needs to record this shit asap, so he can release a dope first album and save the australian rap industry,.  for those in the kno, you cna check it out right here!

I’ve been living here in sydney for the last 8 years or so, just about to start going to uni (MAC UNI WURD UP), but i still cant find anyone interested in producing my LP.  but i have lined up an interview on december 28 at INTERSCROPE RECORDS!!  i’m really looking forard to this becuz this is where Game is signed to.  also underneath it is obviously aftermath entertainment, with DRE and busta, as well as SHADY and G-UNIT, so if i get signed there itll be masterful…  obviously i’ll then need to bring REMY’D over to join on my album and record his own.

anyway my next post will be my reviw of BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT which just came out, but before I do that here’s my new beat, Remylickin’ Good, which i have been writing for the last eight dayz about REMY’D (holla at ya boi) and the feelings he makes in my mind.

(Intro)
Give this nigga beat!
Damn boi you know I lookin at you!
Why you not see my affection for you??
I ain’t no mahfuckin’ Stan, I’m the real slim Caocao
You just a killer for filler in the house of Manilla
Wurd up!!

(chorus)
Horny for more than just Oporto
I can’t suck a McDick
Hungrier than Jack in a porno
Give that a King lick
But I really know my KFC
And all that it does for me
It’s fingerfuckin’ cockrockin’ Remylickin’ GOOOOOOD
(Woah-oh-oh-woah-oh-woahhhhh Remy’d for yo pain)

(verse 1)
All I’ve said is post mortem
I ain’t never gonna die
You see me kickin’ cunts
I can kill ‘em on the fly
I’m an un-PC fucker, all my ladies know this
But if you fuck me upside down my mouth looks like a clit
It’s raw like Slim Shady, Asher Roth is our baby
I fucked ten cows inside out then let them go crazy
What more could you want from a S-town dog
Who knows nothing more than shits and Gods
Religulous bullshit with Jerry Lewis in tail
I’m a goddamn python, he’s a mahfuckin’ whale
Remy’d kicked the telly off of my rapsheet
I made sure those bitches didn’t know about the gaybeat
Hittin’ the toolshed like its more than rape
There’ll be a class action GTA style that’ll go late
I’m gettin’ hungry now, let me hit a niggabeat
I only know ten black people, does that make me a sheet??

(chorus)

(verse 2)
Rembrant would you kindly fuck my cat
So I can look at her ten ways to sunset and suck that
All I want is mancock, dirty and wholesome
Wholemeal and honey oat ain’t gonna cut it
What was that on the radio last night about Emma Watson nude?
I wouldn’t give a fuck, ’cause she fucks dudes
I only get turned on by chicks who do chicks
Hatefilled lyrical contextuality until 2:26am
Eminem Relapse 3am in the horning
Dawning, fawning, shit just can’t be borning
Grammar school is for rnb pussies, just watch me!

(bridge)
I gotta bridge it, gotta fridge it
Dogs can’t see me hard
Gotta bridge it gotta ditch it
What’s your girl lookin’ at me for?
Baseball born from a dirty dog’s dick
Autotuned like a negro Slick Rick

(verse 3)
You fuckin’ up now, I can see you on my CD cover
All you need is Remy’d to show you the way
What more can you want than a true Aussie soldier?
Better than ten chinks rockin’ with bulgers
What the fuck did that mean, I’m totally spittin’
If I meet Remy’d my anus will be red shittin’
I put my wurd in the gospel, the Gestapo know me
I remember Pac and his wurds say ‘HOMIE’
All that I want now is to sit down to my meal
God’s greatest warrior, rapper Remy’d is a steal

(chorus x2)

(Outro)
You been fuckin’ wit’ tha wrong boiz!!
Interscope!  Aftermath!  Shady!  Gggggg, G-Unit!
Remy’d Records!  Caocaochords Ltd.!
2010 and forever testetonguing bastard fucks!!

I’ma work on an album cover soon guys!  hope you like!!

Fair play 50. Your album aint selling well and your still giving back.

By DeVaughn Douglas

The Top 10 doesn’t have a lot of Hip-Hop on it but we do have a new entry.  Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson enters the charts at in the fifth slot with his latest album Before I Self Destruct.  The queens MC managed to sell about 160,000 copies of his fourth disc which, to date, is the lowest sales the rapper has produced.  The reviews for the album have been mixed but I will say that the movie that comes with it is not bad.  In fact it’s pretty good.  50 has already come forward and said that the album leaked from an international plant which is not hard to believe.  The album was everywhere…but is that the reason for the low sales?  What do ya’ll think?  Nevertheless, this is a hater’s wet dream! The next question is how does an MC that has always spent a lot of time focusing on numbers (especially the numbers of rappers he doesn’t like) deal with the fact that his latest album hasn’t put up good numbers.  I hope its go back to the studio (hungry) and put out another album.  We’ll see.

50 Cent quand même tu connais ? Oui oui, ses clips bling bling, son film “Get Rich Or Die Tryin”, ses beefs avec The Game, Rick Ross ou plus récemment Jay-Z, le G-Unit, le rap new yorkais quoi. Bon, il a sorti “Before I Self Destruct” (BISD pour les intimes), son 4ème album, et les chiffres viennent de tomber, il a vendu 150 000 opus en première semaine. Moyen, très moyen. Il a donné un concert gratuit lundi soir à New York…parce que faut l’dire, notre rappeur est en manque de vitesse et il doit bien redonner aux fans un peu de substance pour qu’ils reprennent confiance en lui…  Tu penses bien que si j’en parle, c’est que j’y suis allée. Non pas que j’aime spécialement ce qu’il fait mais voilà, ça reste un géant du rap, je ne l’avais jamais vu sur scène, et surtout, c’était gratuit. Et le gratuit à New York, on AIME ! Je me suis donc tapée un petit concert de “musique hip hop” (comme dirait ma maman) pour commencer la semaine. 50 + 0$ + New York = ghetto assuré ! Ahaha !

Au lendemain de sa prestation à L.A pour les “Americain Music Awards” et à la veille de son départ pour Paris, 50 aka The Travelin’ Man a donné un concert MySpace à guichet fermé (puisque gratuit) dans sa hometown, New York City. Mais crois pas que c’était easy ! A 20h30, le Meat Packing District avait des allures de ghetto du Queens. Bizarrement, tout le monde était habillé pareil dans la file d’attente. Hoodie, capuche sur la tête, et Tim ou Nike (prononcer [Naïki] pour faire cainri) boots aux pieds pour les messieurs. Les meufs, fidèles à elles-même ont trouvé de bon goût de mettre leurs tenues de stars du X en déficit, avec une coupe à 500 E et des bottes à 1000 E. C’était pas joli joli. Et puis c’était la guerre pour arriver jusqu’à la porte d’entrée ! Limite, te faire fouiller par une femme mi-homme mi-autre-chose à la fin de cette attente avait des allures de bonheur. Bref, tu l’auras compris, fallait être motivé pour voir 50 aux pectoraux d’acier sur scène. Je l’étais pas tellement, mais je ne rentrerai pas dans les détails. Une fois à l’intérieur, je file à l’étage, table, resto et espace vital. Et je pousse le bouchon en m’offrant une mousse au chocolat blanc et couli de framboise. J’t’avoue que j’étais étonnée de voir un dessert appétissant sur une carte à NYC. Généralement au mieux t’as un cheesecake, sinon c’est du gâteau à la crème immonde avec 5 couches de génoise sans goût. J’aime trop la bouffe sucrée pour tolérer ça donc je n’prends plus de dessert depuis que je vis ici. Mais là, qui l’eût cru, c’était bon !

Monsieur le DJ d’Hot 97 nous ambiançait pendant l’attente et la salle se remplissait au compte goutte. Pas étonnant, vu le temps de la fouille pour chaque personne. A 22h, le DJ nous crie “If you’re ready for 50 Cent make some noise right now”. Ok, on fait du bruit, on y croit. Puis non en fait, il part en dédicace “Rest in Peace”. Vu qu’y a pas mal de morts dans le hip hop, on n’a pas fini. Aller hop, ODB, Big Pun, 2Pac, Biggie, etc… Puis il fait un shout out à tous les boroughs de New York. Tu penses bien que la foule se donne à fond quand il cite le Queens. Enfin, il enchaîne avec un big up à tous ses « weed smokers » et ses « alcoholic ». J’adore les concerts hip hop, l’ambiance est tellement…saine ! Ah bah voilà, Whoo Kid prend les platines alors que la batterie de mon appareil photo me lâche. Damn it. Le truc m’a déjà fait le coup. Moi qui voulait prendre des tofs du torse de 50 pour les agrandir et m’en faire des posters. Raté… La star du G-Unit daigne finalement entrer sur scène, T-shirt blanc moulant, casquette NY, Timberland aux pieds. Le même look que ses fans quoi. Il commence avec « I Run New York ». J’me dis heureusement que Jay-Z est pas dans la salle. Il l’aurait pris perso. Tony Yayo et Lloyd Banks sont là aussi. Tout est réuni pour une parfaite soirée G-Unit bien ghetto. Mais c’était pas mal quand même, j’étais agréablement surprise, j’me suis même mise à bouger les pieds sur “Baby By Me” en fredonnant le refrain par cœur « Have a baby by me, baby, be a millionaire ». De la chanson de michto dans toute sa splendeur. J’comprends mieux maintenant le pourquoi des tenues des femelles autour de moi. Elles veulent être millionnaires et vont surement aller faire la queue près de sa loge ! D’ailleurs à côté de moi j’ai 2 drôles de phénomènes. A gauche, j’ai la meuf sur pilotis qui a décidé de mettre ses mains à sa taille et de bouger de droite à gauche pour irriter ses voisines avec ses coudes. Donc toutes les 2 secondes je me prends un frôlement de coude par billoute. Relou. Dans une salle où respirer n’est pas facile, elle, elle est tous coudes dehors à gigoter ! A droite, j’ai une groupie sautante. Elle filme. Mais elle saute en même temps. Et si mes calcules sont bons, filmer et sauter c’est pas une bonne idée. J’ai peur pour le résultat de sa vidéo Youtube. Mais comme disent les inconnus, cela ne nous regarde pas !

Après 15 minutes de concert et quelques hits interprétés en accéléré, 50 décide que son show sera un remake de “Piège en Eaux Troubles”. Il se met à balancer des litres d’eau sur ses fans. Ça devait être relou pour eux parce qu’il faisait même pas chaud quoi. Et Yayo, Banks et les 15 autres jeunes qui sont sur scène le font aussi. J’ai pas compris, mais j’étais très contente d’être à l’étage… Puis, petit moment clé : « Where’s my nigga at? » demande 50. Il s’agit duquel selon toi ? De Beanie Sigel bien sur, la nouvelle recrue du G-Unit qui a bavé sur Jay-Z y a quelques semaines. Les ennemis de tes ennemis sont tes amis, hein 50 ? Un peu plus tard, il regarde dans la foule et lâche sur un ton ironique, « Tiens je vois des visages familiers ». Il parle des flics. Il les cherche du regard un peu après sans les trouver, et nous dit finalement de faire attention, “nous sommes observés par la hip hop police”. Wow… Ça c’était une minute digne d’un film. Puis il enchaîne avec des vieux morceaux,  “P.I.M.P” (Il troque sa casquette contre un chapeau de pimp), “This Is How We Do”, “Hate It Or Love It”, “Just A Lil Bit”, “Candy Shop”, “Magic Stick”. Putain il en a des hits l’enfoiré. A 23h, les mecs de MySpace montent sur scène sans gêne pour enlever les kakémonos. Ça sent la fin. Ah bah oui, c’est la fin. Un peu brutale quand même. Merci,  au revoir.

Depuis l’événement, Fifty a été déporté dans votre (mon) pays, donc c’est vous qui allez vous en taper une bonne couche. Ça vaut le coup de le voir sur scène si tu es en manque de vibe ghetto. J’attends des retours sur le show du 27 à Paris les copains. En attendant, révise ton refrain “Have a baby by me baby, be a millionaire, have a baby by me…” Cheers !

50 Cent feat. Ne-Yo – Baby By Me

In the warm memories of Dragnet , I say this story is best delivered with concise and accurate brevity. Just the facts m’am, just the facts.

Apparently Taco Bell has a marketing department with a creative way of looking at viral opportunities. They decided to “address” a letter “to” 50 Cent, kindly asking him if he would change his name to 79 cents or perhaps 89 cents. I’m really not sure why, perhaps they had a 50 cent taco coming out, or something disgusting like that. Either way, the problem with the letter is that it was delivered to media outlets across the country and not Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. So when the press released the story about Taco Bell’s letter to Fitty, plenty of fans cried a foul. SELLOUT! SELLOUT! 50 Cent is a G however, and he took it to the corporate gorditos with blue blooded power attorneys, sued for 4 million. Today, that suit got settled, Curtis was paid an undisclosed amount. Perhaps the boys in the TB marketing division should go find another Chihuahua, a little less abrasive than 50.

50 Cent and Taco Bell settled a lawsuit filed by the rapper, after the fast-food chain used his name in a commercial to promote tacos on their value menu.

The rapper sued Taco Bell for $1 million dollars in damages over a June 2008 promotion that offered 50 Cent $10,000 to change his name to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent for one day.

50 sued the fast-food chain for using his name and likeness without expressed permission and for making him the “star of a nationwide campaign” without his permission.

Both parties reached a confidential settlement yesterday (November 23) according to lawyers for the rapper.

50 Cent predicted he would emerge victorious in the court battle in a statement to AllHipHop in late June of 2008.

“When my legal team is finished with them, Taco Bell is going to have a new corporate slogan: ‘We messed with the bull and got the horns,” the rapper said in a statement.

Olivia, the first woman to land a spot on 50 Cent’s G Unit roster, is taking her soulful singing act overseas and embarking on a solo tour in Africa. Olivia will not venture alone however but will promote her new music and perform alongside Democratic Republic of Congo super star Fally Ipupa. The twosome has a song together titled “Chaise Electrique” which they will perform for their dedicated fans.

While visiting the country, Olivia will accept an award from ‘The Music Editors Corporation’ and an honorary title for being the first American recording artist to do collaboration with a Congolese artist.

She is set to hit the stage in Point Noire, Brazzaville, and Kinshasa of the Democratic Republic of The Congo. While connecting with her fans in Africa, the “Bizounce” songstress is also preparing for the 2010 release of her second studio album, Show The World.

Following her tour in Africa she will embark on a ten city tour with Grey Goose for ‘BET Rising Icon’ and an overseas trip to Europe in the planning stages.

Olivia’s African tour dates are below:

December 4th – Point Noire, Congo

December 5th – Point Noire, Congo

December 6th – Brazzaville, Congo

December 12th Kinshasa, Congo

Wow! African tour? Accepting awards overseas? Go Girl! Just don’t call it a comeback…..yet anyway.
