I thought the s— was aight, you know what I’m sayin’? I liked the s—. But I’ma keep it 100: The s— was a little, the s— was too smart. I felt like I was supposed to be wearing glasses and s—, and tie a f—ing sweater around my waist. It was like Ivy League s—.”

“I ain’t gon’ hold you up,” 50 Cent added. “Some of that s— was like golf course music.”.

“I’mma tell you the truth: N—as hot out here,” he went on. “They don’t wanna hear that sh—. They just wanna have a good time. F— that. You can’t be the best rapper at 47, because the new n—as is here,” 50 Cent said.

rapper who is the Hood Representative? 50 still walking around in oversized fitted caps. Can we really take his word on anything?

To me, he's just a funny guy.

50 should really consider that he's not had a dope album since his debut. So, IMO, his word on albums is just hot breff.

so I get the criticism.

but I also think it's bullshit to act like all the young kids care about is getting high and mumbling to melodies.

>but I also think it's bullshit to act like all the young kids
>care about is getting high and mumbling to melodies.

4:44.

In essence, 50 is talking to or referring to, in part, younger versions of his knuckleheaded ass. There are some old head bammas who ain't tryna hear it either. Those of the pink linen suit and matching fake gators crowd.

He couldda easily had Just Blaze throw in a 'Roc Boys' type sample banger and made it a single. Obviously he was trying to go for a low key album; he couldda easily had a Metro Boomin beat with Carti singing the hook,

The thing is in his own real life, 50 Cent has been pulling similar 'back to basics' moves. After G-Unit collapsed he was doing some really solid mixtape work strictly in the 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' vein that was some of the best he's ever done...its the periodic 'This is gonna put me back on Billboard' modern sounding releases that sounded like shit.

I know he's an actor on it, and if Im not mistaken he's an executive behind the show

so of course he's going to downplay progressiveness because I've seen less than two episodes of the show and I felt my brain cells dying

The show that he's standing behind is all about progression from the perspective of a street dude. So, I am not sure he's necessarily downplaying it more so than he is providing a commentary from the perspective of young, dumb, don't care to know nothing more than what they're used to adults.

but the gist I picked up was sex, violence and nothing resembling intelligence

Definitely has sex and violence but there are some great layers to that show.

Glad you like it

but you said you barely watched so you wouldn't know.

Plus 50 is an investor and business man saying this,
so it's extra ridiculous for him to pretend that
it's over his own head.

Of course he's playing a role and trying to sound
like he reps the streets, but the act is outdated.

I personally find it rather egregious that he'd
promote this idea that Black people are too dumb
to enjoy anything outside of a limited scope of
subject matter, but I'm not surprised, because
he's been insulting Black people like this for
a long time now.

Plus he is a hater.

not for real anyway

wasn't nothing "smart" about that album

just a bunch of pretentious pseudo-woke bullshit

smmfh

>wasn't nothing "smart" about that album

I thought I was alone thinking the same.

>I thought I was alone thinking the same.

It got either locked or deleted tho.

also true people said it before.

if you've never been to the ocean a river may appear deep

>if you've never been to the ocean a river may appear deep

I mean, f'real. Speak on it.

jay didn't make an intellctual album. he made a reflective album about his woman, family and wealth

that's it.

I swear we're fighting against ourselves...

and it's not going away. It's actually EXACTLY like politically correct in it's genealogy. ie started out the opposite of what it became.

this doesn't make me like him any more.

Well played sir!

lol, forreal though Jay's album is not deep at all.

I hate that this is what passes for "woke" or deep, when 47 year old Jay hasn't hit on concepts that 20 year old Pac already had figured out.

The mistake is that everyone can make it with Jay's paradigm. Buy the block or buy a Basquiat is NOT empowering. If Jay bought Marcy or Dumbo housing and then sold it for $25 million that STILL displaces poor people. Yes, he is Black, and personally would be rich, but the hood doesn't come up.

A better model for Black excellence would be saying "hey guys, pool your tax money and buy YOUR apartment buildings. Use that asset to build equity and fund other businesses so all of yall can come up".

Jay's whole steez has been "live vicariously through my success, and we all can win".

And some of the writing was just Lay-Z. NO ID did his thing.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

"Do as thou wilst" a quote from a shirt Jay has worn is from Allestier Crowley a self proclaimed magician and high level member of the Scottish Rite of Free Masonry (if I'm not mistaken). He was also referred to in one publication as the most evil man in the world. His work as influenced various occlult and satanic practitioners.

So that's a little weird but

And the argument is always "its better than Empire" like thats a high bar

will be forever compared mainly cuz their black. Power is a good show. I don't watch Empire but not because I like Power. I tried Empire and didn't like it.

How much bread has he f--ked off? Going bankrupt and getting pressed by the IRS (? ) for flashing money on IG?


shut up...

give the audience credit. maybe?

Over the years why is anyone surprised?

Jay-Z's new album?

no longer have to wonder.
