50 CENT is at it again, you can’t expect less from him any time he is about to drop a new album. But I think going at a THE GAME again, is really not a good option. 50 cent recently made some negative comments about Compton rapper, game, in an interview, bringing up the past and talking about “the game” G-UNOT campaign and saying he did not get what game was trying to do with the whole movement. He then further talks about games alleged stripper past, and also claims that game was actually stripping for his mom’s strip club, how funny is that.
I think when 50 found out that the moment he has dreaded all this while had come, and his album was really going to drop, after he had been pushing the release date forward for the last 10 months or so, he thought he had to do something to gain some last minute buzz. Also, the fact that he would be going against RIHANNA and KONVICT MUSIC sign –on, LADY GAGA, on his November 23 release date he knew that he had to do something fast to save face. He even dissed LIL WAYNE about two months ago, but wayne was smart enough to ignore him. Then he, out of no where, brought back his beef with FAT JOE, mocking the first week sales of joe’s latest album (J.O.S.E 2).
After I heard that DR DRE had called up game to guest appear on his long awaited album, DETOX, I knew 50 cent would start catching feelings. I guess it is clear to all the people that game is a talented artist now, because people were always writing him off after the publicized beef with 50. They kept saying 50 wrote all his songs, and made him who he was. Okay, I agree that 50 wrote the hooks for the main hits on documentary, but it would not have translated to a hit album if game was not a terrific rapper. And I guess the good doc knows this and had to get him on his album. And it’s funny that it was after snoop, dre and STAT QUO had been in the studio for months recording, and they just felt there was something missing, and snoop talked dre into calling game to add his flavour to the album.
I can’t really say if game would reply to 50’s recent comments, and I do not know if I want him to respond or not. I kind of wonder what would be the outcome of all this, because I know that dre and 50 are still cool, and snoop is cool with 50, but the fact that snoop and dre are in the studio everyday with 50’s enemy, I hope 50 can stand that And i wonder if they would run into each other one day at the studio. I actually thought he was going to squash the beef with game, after game got back with dre, but I guess he is still jealous. He kind of wished game would not make it this far. He thought that game would be washed up after the second album. Hell, he didn’t even believe the album would go platinum.
I can actually say 50 has been watching game’s career, and praying for him to flop at every drop of a new album. I remember in 2006, when game dropped his second album, THE DOCTOR’S ADVOCATE, 50 kept following the sales. There was a time game’s sales reached 800k copies, and the sales slowed, and then every other interview, 50 would mock game and talk about how he sold so much when he helped him, and how now he could not go plat. Then the album managed to reach 900k copies, and 50 knew exactly how many copies the album had sold, because he was quoting the sales in every interview. Then game dropped the video for “wouldn’t get far”, with KANYE WEST, and the single boosted the album to platinum status (1 million copies), and I never heard anything from 50 again.
Let us forget sales, game has shown massive improvement since his first album, and he would keep on growing and dropping dope music. Yes he might be bi-polar, yes he might be a name dropper, but you just can’t deny the fact that the kid is nice on the mic.
