I remember hearing 50CENT'S "piggybank" record and i was like, "what! how can you go against some of the best rappers to come out of new york, "jadakiss", "nas" and "fat joe", but i guess he wanted to get people talking. He succeeded in doing that, and also in selling million of records off of that, for his second album, THE MASSACRE.
In the midst of all the beef, nas never replied, claiming 50 was not on his level lyrically and and experience wise, so he just did some interviews, and a line here and there, but no ETHER for 50 cent. One of the tracks that had some subliminal lines aimed at 50 from nas was a "game" track, STREET RIDERS, that featured "akon.
Below is what "black wall street dj", DJ SKEE, had this to say about the track:
Included on the tape is "Street Riders," on which guest MC Nas references Pharrell Williams by name and throws some subliminals at 50 Cent. "I showed n---as their first Bentley/ How the f--- I window shop?" he raps. "We've actually had it done forever," Skee said. "It was actually supposed to be on the Doctor's Advocate album. It didn't make it for one reason or another. There's been a bunch of different reincarnations of the song. ... I actually have eight different versions of the song. Game, he went back in. He said, 'It's time to do it.' Cool & Dre did the beat. So we was like, 'Let's throw it on the mixtape. It's probably never going to come out other than that.' I played a snippet of it on the radio years ago, and fans have been going crazy since then. We threw that on. Game did two new verses. He wanted to make it more relevant for today. You have a crazy Nas verse. Akon kills the hook. It's one of the craziest, darkest Cool & Dre beats. It's one of my favorite Game records ever. So it's finally out, Brake Lights, it's official." (MTV)
I would like to hear that track, because if you put nas, game, cool n dre and akon together, you can only get a banger.
