50Cent - Hip-hop's creativity is currently dead

[furst]

50 Cent believes the hip hop game is currently stale, so he’s prepping an entire lineup of G-Unit releases to feed the streets’ hunger.

Comment 50 told MTV.com that Mobb Deep’s album, Blood Money, is scheduled for an April 11 release for now, though it may be pushed back to clear all samples.

From there G-Unit will roll out with releases from Lloyd Banks and tentatively Young Buck, who has completed his next release.

Fif’ believes hip hop is in a creative stalemate, largely due to the South, making G-Unit’s presence in hip hop even more necessary.

"A lot of the music that comes out of the South is kind of simplified and I think it's kinda 'cause they just wanna have a good time," 50 told MTV. “But when they don't take the time to make it the highest quality possible, it hurts the actual hip hop [genre].

"They'll lower the grade of music."

As for himself, 50 said he was eyeing a July 18 album release for his next LP, but Eminem stepped in and told him to wait. No tentative release date has been given for 50’s next album as of press time.

U notice how 50 got on by putting Ja Rule on blast for singing and shit ? Now 50 sings every fucking chorus haha ! 50's running game yo getting paper is the move,,,,I don't hate but it's comedy.

he's right though, the south is all the same, im suprised 50 cent said that though cuz he's a piece of shit

[leaninoffsprite]

the south isnt simplified any more than the east

[Nikola Tesla]

i find when i listen to south shit, it's all the same, east coast though, you got necro and then you got fuckin el-p you know, two different styles i say i say? and when i say i listen to south, i mean turn to BET cuz thats all they seem to play

[leaninoffsprite]

im pretty sure the only southern rappers u know about are those on Bet because u just said that. if the only new york rappers i knew about were on Bet (fabulous, 50 cent, tony yayo, cam'ron, dipset) id say the east is pretty simplified to

[furst]

Cam'ron sounds nothing like 50cent. I'm sure there is just as much variety in southern rap. People who don't listen to any rap at all say all rap sounds the same.. there's probably a parallel to be drawn from that.

i hate BET

[CHILLY]

Most pathetic rapper of our time. He should be refered to as nothing more than a promoter. Dubbing him an emcee is outrageous.

[doom13]

never understood why people like him, but I guess if enough people say somethigs good the sheep con themselves into beleiving it, like the emperors new clothes

what about "in the club". i never could imagine a hiphop song about being in a club... what kindof incredibly astute mind could think of something so groundbreaking and creative?

[leaninoffsprite]

come on now know yall muthafuckers have heard his older shit before he got popular. he used to go off on those mixtapes

Have yo ass runnin, mumblin to the jake/

most ironic lines in hiphop history

[furst]

Not all his shit is that bad.. there's much worse out there. Look at lil jon and laffy taffy or whatever the fuck.

[Dane]

I've always been a fan of 50 and still am. That line McMossy dropped was dope.

[uk goon]

Not all his shit is that bad

yeah i gotta admit i liked "guess whos back" and a few tunes off "get rich" like that ja-rule diss was dope and the tune with the gun clicking all the way through heat i think

[DarthChef]

50 should try snorting clorox

basically. that new video with hoelivia says it all.

Cam'ron sounds nothing like 50cent. I'm sure there is just as much variety in southern rap. People who don't listen to any rap at all say all rap sounds the same.. there's probably a parallel to be drawn from that.
a very educated observation.
simplicity in hip hop is unillateral across the globe(at least the US from what i have personally heard)
people will say the south sounds simple, because commercial music is often simple, and the south is heavy in commercial rotation.
Iv'e heard some good down south cats.a few underground things here and there.
alot of fans today don't apreciate concepts, rhyme schemes, thought provoking content.they appreciate something easy to understand, and dance, have fun to.
Juelz Santana is a perfect example of a simple sounding East Coast artist.Why do you think alot of rappers who put out mixtapes, sound alot iller then on there albums?i'll give Lloyd Banks credit in that department.and Fabolous.album wise, no thank you.

pardon the double.
