Quotes of the week:"Ask Prem' n***a, Fiddy don't back down"
- 50 Cent ...
"Fiddy told me go 'head switch the style up, and if they hate, then let them hate and watch the money pile up."
- Kanye (quoting 50? Brilliant! Now THAT'S what I call big pimpin')
Kanye:...for all in all making a better album than Fiddy, albeit his worst to date (it's all according to my opinion folks...feel free to hurl your critiques at me.)
Nas:...If you know the tune, sing along: na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, Bill O'Reilly, is a douchebag. (and a "chump"!)
R. Kelly & Busta Rhymes:...Trials delayed...Go figure...
Rolling Stone Magazine & The "Rivalry":...By now I'm used to mainstream artists getting an infinitely greater amount of shine than others. No sh*t right? But by hyping up this "rivalry" that's really all about super-capitalism (EVIL!!!), it's only building a bigger ditch for commercial hip-hop (hmm...wait..maybe that's a good thing?). All in all, it represents hip-hop's "dark side" if you ask me...
Steve Jobs:...On the plus side, he's releasing a new iPod tommorrow (and the day after that...). On the down side, it makes what you have utterly, COMPLETELY OBSOLETE. lol
Talib Kweli:...For hitting the #2 spot on the charts... Hey! This is a big deal! It's the first time he's been in the top 10. Kudos to Kwe'. (BUY THE ALBUM!!!)
I gotta agree with you on kanyes album, everyone is calling it a classic, but i MUCH prefered his 2 previous albums. This one has some nice songs on it (Flashing lights, drunk and hot girls, Good night is crazy as well). But overall, its pretty weak (IMO). Today at work while i was listening to the album, i was trying to think what kanye will do single wise. He released stronger, and i got no doubt the good life will be the next track out, but after that. I dunno what else he has thatll be a hit single. 50 on the other hand has an album with plenty of singles to release. Lets see the numbers 3 months from now. Maybe kanye will win the first week figures, but i think fif will win in the long run.
