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.

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.

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.

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Of course he's playing a role and trying to sound like he reps the streets, but the act is outdated.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

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.

"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.

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.
