"Okay , You're Right " by 50 Cent = Yet another failure ..

[Matty]

no doubt, but again thats not the point. im saying that long term, dre's legacy will be tarnished (and this is supposedly his big concern) by fucking with 50 when he was waaaay past his prime and showed no sign of regaining any previous form. it's ironic that he's too paranoid to get behind new acts like stat or bishop lamont for the same reason, but continues to support 50 cent.

so the quality of this 50 lp will be interesting.

Or after his lesser involvement in Massacre and Curtis, he may be trying to prove that he can be the cat who brings 50 back! That I'd like to see

I think its actually Dre's beats thats hurting 50. He's too commercial and people aren't feeling him anymore. Now if he did an album produced by Primo it would sound like a new 50, even if he's spitting about the same shit.

i would hope dre can bring 50's music back to some kind of credibility and universal appeal again. but i do agree he needs to diversify his sound - working with premo would be great, or just if dre/khalil give him some more street sounds than we've come to expect from the aftermath camp.

'i get money' was big for that reason - a raw, old school sounding beat. its about all 50 can sound decent over these days.

[Action!]

I'm not convinced 50 lost his flare to make quality music.   For one, G-Unit's TOS was a dope album but the public wasn't looking to get down with it.

If anything 50 has oversaturate himself & G-Unit in the market.  Being such a smart business man I'm kind of shocked he doesn't see that.   He could have avoided over saturation by producing different music ala Kanye West did with 808s.  I'm not saying 50 should release an auto-tune record but rather he needs to reinvent himself in the public eye.  Give the public another reason to be back on his jock.  Kanye showed the public another dimension of his character and people bought it because it was genuine.   Or, he could have waited a year or two to release Curtis. Collecting a bunch of dope records for the album in that time period. 

I do agree he was being a hyprocite for criticizing other artist like Kanye for working with Timbaland and then went and worked with him. 

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

yeah that justin shit he did wit timbo was wack
but damn get up is dope
and i get it in is better than this
ok your right is borin like i get money became borin after a while

What! TOS was an awful album. Had such cheap production on it.

To me, it worked well for what they went for.   It's part of the charm.  It's dirty sounding.   I mean, Yayo really doesn't deserve to spit over a 500 grand beat so I understand the cheaper production.  Causalities of War, TOS, Kitty Kat, Let It Go, Ready or Not are all dope.  It would've been a doper duo album with just 50 and Banks but since the group has Yayo as well I dealt with it.

[jeanmiche777]

Yayo, in my book, isn't even a rapper. He's just some guy that stayed loyal to 50 cent.

He's more like a hype man.  Funny enough he drops better bars than some rappers,

I'm an icon, heart made of steel, bars made of iron

> Juice's recent tracks

At least he's got some adjective usage going on and can make me laugh.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

haha damn yayo is one of the most hated rappers for real
but yeah hes jus a extra
wonder if he writes his on lyrics?
hope banks does, cuz hes the best rapper

I think that album almost came off like a throwaway album. Something to put out to fullfill the contract with Interscope. Basically the only promo burn it got was when Rocci on 106 was talking shit about the Curtis album and they ended up playing Rider Pt 2 4 or 5 times on there and did a Making Of show about it to save face.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

yeah that album was and is garbage IMO
lol @ 50 doin the autotune shit on rider part 2
and buck bein on what 6 traxx
album was put together crazy for real, BEG FOR MERCY IS......NOT EVEN GON FINISH THE SENTENCE

Yeah, I heard they had a really small budget to work with.  Less then 250 grand.  

It sounds just like the 2 mixtapes right before it got released - Elephant in the Sand and Return of the Body Snatchers.  From what I understand, It was all the same recording session.  Sure does sound like it.   The production was all kind of mixtape cheap-esque.  It is what it is.  I didn't buy it so I dug it.

Though, G-Unit tracks like Southside and We On Some Shit are classic.  That's the sound I love from 50 and the Unit.   You hear both these tracks?  I'll up'em for anyone that ain't.

[dubsmith_nz]

Southside was fucking ill! T.O.S. was an average album, but Banks murdered some tracks on there, and there were a few bangers. I just wish it could've come slightly close to "Beg For Mercy" though
