I agree... though I think 50 will pick the best beats , not leftovers like it's often the case for others rappers.. what is sure is you can see 50 knows he's not untouchable anymore and doesn't work with unknown producers on this one.. he uses famous beatmakers and who's hot right now (JT Timbo)..
-
propz on the news. Don't mind that line up at all
-
Was expecting the thread author to be Timbo
-
also said he's dropping 4 singles/vids befor the album drops in June. Come and Go will be 1. Talked more on the Buck situation
-
- worked with Polow, Timbo, Kanye, Will I.Am., Siwzz Beatz, Neptunes but said not all will make the cut, hes got his own inhouse producers, like the dude who produced street single
- he also said that the concept of this album is "before GRDOT era", the lyrcis are before he got rich.... and thats why the name Curtis
- said that the only track that reflects on his financal status is Staright To The Bank (yeah right ::)), that was the frist track he did, then he did the concept like he wanted to
- talked about state of hip hop and low sales, said that people need to put more efforts into their music, lot of one hit wonders like MIMS and Rich Boy
- Eminem working hard on new album
- said that only NY artists are beefing with him; Camron beef is (suppose) to be over, because Cam lost
- hes gonna release 4 records before the release date with videos and then the official single thats a Timbaland track
- talked a lil bit about Imus, words "bitch, nigga", djs, hip hop violence, the shootings....
- said the regular shit about Game; went from 5 mill to 800.000, makes money of DA, said he hasnt and never will diss him because "If i destroy him, I destroy my money"
- said everything cool with Buck, just misscomunications
-
- he also said that the concept of this album is "before GRDOT era", the lyrcis are before he got rich.... and thats why the name Curtis
- said that the only track that reflects on his financal status is Staright To The Bank (yeah right ::)), that was the frist track he did, then he did the concept like he wanted to
Eh, so that's basically more bragging about violence and hustling, like we haven't heard enough of that in the past decades of hip-hop?
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! the same producers on every cd that comes out... who cares.... get some in house production..this bullshit of every cd havin the same producers is gettin real old
Does G-Unit even have in-house producers these days? And who's this Polow guy?
-
Cool thanks...
Why the hell is this being pushed back again? All that's gonna do is push back "STATLANTA" which in turn will push back everything else scheduled for this year.
However, 50 only getting 2 or 3 Dre tracks (not including his co-produced "Straight To The Bank") is actually a good sign. That means he's really trying to finish up DETOX and is likely saving stuff for it.

Tons. Banks 2nd album was basically produced only by inhouse producers, Buck had some on Buck The World and pretty much all their debut albums and OST and group albums had 3/4 of inhouse producers.
@Rebel, its only pushed back for a week. And push back or not, Ive said before dropping STat Quo now is retarted.

exactly it will probably be a cut and paste producer album with no overall vibe.

I think it's just to drop his album before Detox so Dre will be done with all the albums he wanted to drop before focusing on his lp release.. but yeah no sense marketing wise.. it'd be better to release this album on Geffen
-
Remember all those interviews that 50 was doing before the massacre dropped with him saying that he can now do records w/o Dr. Dre or any other big names because he's big enough to carry the album himself? Obviously that line of thinking has changed.
It's also very telling that 50 is on this "I'm taking it back to pre-GRODT before I had all this money". Well now he's just gonna sound like he's trying really hard to be street or some shit. Kinda like Ja did w/ that "Blood in my Eye" shit. It's really funny how much his career is paralleling Ja's.
And of course, he's saying he's got "In Da Club" part 2. Good luck w/ that. Sounding really desperate to me.
I'm sick of these producer lineups. Its the same shit every album. Interscope sucks cock.
-
I find it incredibly funny that the same people who are always saying "if 50 gets back on that GRDOT or POTD shit then it will be dope." Now the same people are complaining when he says hes gonna do exactly what they want (suprise, surprise its the always unsatisfied Jrome and Elvez).
Not saying that what 50 said will actually happen (the odds are very, very low) but the man just cant do anything right :D

PLEASE find a quote of me saying "if 50 gets back on that GRDOT or POTD shit then it will be dope." Seriously, do it. You talk straight lies out of your ass more than anyone on this fuckin board. Always sayin shit, but NEVER backing it up.
You need to start readin some books or somethin and step up your comprehension game. That or just quit lyin like a bitch.
50 went off the fuckin charts in corniness and there's really no coming back. He did one too many queer ass sing songy joints for me to take him serious as a rapper. (SEE JA RULE'S CAREER FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION) I'm sorry if thats keeping you up at night homie. Unfortunately, he is seeing that as well which is why he's saying shit like he's taking it back to the pre-GRODT days, making in club part 2, getting all the big name producers, blah blah blah. He knows his stock is dropping.
50 is shook, I don't give a shit what he says. His actions say a lot more. And you being so bothered by what I'm saying is hilarious. I swear to god you're part of G-Unit's
E-Team the way you defend 50 like you know him or something.
But really though, bump some music to ease your pain

What's all this all of a sudden? I'm showing some interest, showing a little open mindedness about G-Unit and their work ethics, and I get this fired back at me?

Got me 100% cosigning that.
I don't have a clue as for why you find it so hard to put things in context. We've been through similar accusations by you (in my case, remember the whole Timbaland: Jay-Z vs Attitude debate), but it's always about someone making a statement and you taking it way out of context to form some new unfounded conclusions.
I know I've stated before how 50 was nice around the days of GRODT and before. Have I ever said he should go back to that? Nope. Either back your statements up, or don't mention them at all.
But really though, bump some music to ease your pain

GRODT was def somethin special. Just a huge album any way you slice it. And you had every motherfucker in the game trying to copy that blueprint to the T. Everybody tried to cash in on those sales. But what really happened is mainstream Hip Hop became EXTREMELY corny, uninspired, formulaic, etc. When 50 dropped GRODT, it was fresh. When everybody else in the game tried to mimic that formula, it was played out. When 50 tried to do it again with The Massacre, it was extremely played out and predictable. The problem is all these stupid motherfuckers don't realize how played out that shit is and keep trying to force it down everybody's throats
And 50, he's done really nothing since GRODT
Massacre is nowhere near GRODT. Massacre is like a generic attempt at recreating GRODT.
I bought GRODT and I have 50 cent songs on my hard drive. He was on point prior to The Massacre.
It's not my fault you're too ignorant to see how much 50 fell off after GRODT
Listen to "Ice Ice Baby", listen to "Cant Touch This", and tell me both of those cats don't ride a beat better or flow better than 50 cent on his commercial shit post GRODT
Overall, 50 sounds identical to 50 from the massacre rather than GRODT, Dre sounds generic again. Overall - DOODOO.
He KNEW he could fart on an album and it would sell. And that's what Massacre was - one giant fart strung across a 70 minute disc. Complete garbage. It sold off his popularity and complete dominance coming off of GRODT
And thats just from a few threads. If that doesnt tell you that Jrome would like to see 50 Cent making the same music as he did with GRODT and POTD that I dont know what it does.
Youre talking to me about how I interact, yet as soon as I say something you dont wanna hear you start calling me a "bitch or groupie." For a guy that wants to come off as a mature and wise youre acting like an idiot.
50 is shook ? Of what exactly ? He'll got plat easilly and thats already outselling every rap act from late 05 till now, except for T.I. and Jay-Z. 99% of rappers have flopped and his has to be afraid ? Youre plain hilarious, Ill give you that.

Hey dickbag, show me a quote where I said ""if 50 gets back on that GRDOT or POTD shit then it will be dope." ARE YOU RETARDED?!?!? YOU CAN'T DO IT. You constantly make shit up! You're a fuckin bitch!
Nah fuck being mature with you. I don't respect motherfuckers that make shit up and pass it off as fact. You act like a bitch you get treated like a bitch.
And hell yeah 50 is shook. He sees his labels albums flopping, he sees that his singles and guestspots garner a fraction of the buzz they once did. Yeah, he'll def go plat, but thats a FAR cry from what he used to do. You don't think he's concerned about that? You think he doesn't care? How can you say 50 is a genius businessman and then say he's not concerned about his label's sales? Are you that stupid or just talkin out your ass again?

Now take a good look at what you actually quoted:

Isn't that the exact opposite of the point you're trying to make?
:loser:
Thanks for pointing out that Jrome thinks 50 hasn't done anything special after GRODT. We weren't discussing that though, were we?
I find it incredibly funny that the same people who are always saying "if 50 gets back on that GRDOT or POTD shit then it will be dope." Now the same people are complaining when he says hes gonna do exactly what they want (suprise, surprise its the always unsatisfied Jrome and Elvez).
THAT'S what you're supposed to prove. So go ahead, either prove we both said that, or take it back...
...pathetic...

Where the fuck did I say those were youre exact words ??? I said you talk about that 24/7 and I proved it you with all those quotes. Lol at you bitching about me finding the exact words, when I proved with 10 quotes that you were saying that but in different words. And thats your best reply ? Saying "prove me where I said those exact words" ? Ha ha. Oh shit I gotta be careful what I use in "" with you because if its not exact words youre done in Jrome internet world.
Keep calling me names, keep using those capital letters to show that your screaming and that youre really angry. Thats super cool. It only makes you look like an obssesed internet geek.
And please stop embarassing yourself with 50 being shook. Yeah he wont sell as much as he did 3 years ago but tell me who the fuck is ? Its called natural process. Youre acting like every other rapper is doing more with each year. Your reaching, please for your own good, stop it.
Youre calling me a groupie, yet 50s on your mind 24/7 :D Just chill, theres other things in life then a message bord ;)
Im done with this topic, Id love to chat wiith a wall more time but I got 3 exams this week. But dont worry Jrome, I know that there will be plenty topics about 50 Cent where you will follow me, study every letter I write and look for all the hidden agendas 50 has under his belt.
-
So basically he's recording his own version of "The Doctor's Advocate". Lol and didn't he diss Pharrell like 2 years ago?

I'm sure this album will be a nicely engineered piece of shit that will knock in high school parking lots around the country, and in the homes of depressed aggro kids pumping iron hoping to drown their feelings of weakness with some clean ass generic violence tracks.

April 23rd, 2007 | Author: Shake
This past Saturday (April 21st) 50 Cent was in London as a guest on the Tim Westwood’s radio show. Topics ran wild from his new album (producers and guests), Eminem, Dr. Dre, Yayo, Young Buck and more.
50 starts off immediately talking about C.U.R.T.I.S. (which will be releasing June 26th in the U.S.). How he’s been in the studio with Dre, Kanye West, Pharrell, Swizz Beatz, Polow Da Don, and will.i.am. And how most will make the final cut, while some will be left off as the album will be 18 tracks deep.
What’s the direction? How did you make it happen?
This album feels like Batman Begins. It feels like Get Rich or Die Trying. The punchlines, some of them have a child’s innocence to them. The only record that reflects on my financial state is Straight to the Bank, and that’s why I started that way.
Were in an era of records not selling.
It needs people to put stronger efforts to create full albums of quality material. When you have the material being held to Dr. Dre, Eminem and my standards before we can actually release it. That’s the formula to keeping the material good enough for everyone to enjoy themselves,” 50 replied. “There’s artists in the U.S. that got a little momentum going but there records aren’t selling. Like MIMS, Rich Boy. Because there’s only one record in connection with them artists. … They didn’t give the general public enough to make them happy with spending their money on the disc.
Eminem?
They also should be looking forward to Em. Cause Em is working. Some people were under the impression that that was his last record, ‘cause he called it Curtain Call. … The return of Batman and Robin.
The Cam’ron beef is crazy.
That’s the competitive nature of hip hop. It don’t come from anything in the street that would make it turn into that. I already moved away from that. You can’t continue to beef with someone that isn’t intelligent enough to know when they lost. What you’ll do is, you’ll exhaust yourself on it and the general public on you talking about it.
What’s the setup for the album?
This record, I’m gonna release four records before the actual album releases. This song that you should look forward to hearing is called Come and Go, its produced by Dr. Dre. It’s like In Da Club pt. 2. Another record I wanna release is called Follow My Lead, it’s featuring Robin Thicke. And Amusement Park,” 50 answered. “I’m shooting a video for all four of those records. Away from the television networks, I have the opportunity to play four different music videos from 50 cent at the same time. You can always go to YouTube on the internet and check it out at your leisure. … I feel like people are ready to hear me and see me again.
So what’s you take on the Tony Yayo situation.
People who shoot houses aren’t really a big threat. People who shoot people are. [Laughs] Ain’t nothing changed. When they talk about the house his mom lives in, that’s the house we grew up in. And the music is a direct reflection of the environment we come from. That where the aggressive content comes from. So sometimes they be like ahh hip hop music this, hip hop music that. But, it’s actually real. There’s always indications on some level that it’s actually going on.
Why does hip hop hate woman?
Hip hop loves women. I love women. If you look at what they do. Women are twice as marketable as men. When you want to sell a magazine to a woman, you put a woman on the cover. When you want to sell a magazine to a man, you put a woman on the cover. We all want to see beautiful women. So when you put a beautiful women in your music video, it becomes exciting [in these days and times] for males AND women. … Hip hop didn’t make up the word ‘bitch’. That word was there long before. We’ll utilize it, because there are women out there that have an attitude. Countless amounts of times I’ve heard women call women bitches.
Don Imus?
It’s not the statement ‘nappy headed hos’ that got him fired. It’s the advertisers pulling advertisements, that got him fired.
Virginia Tech Tragedy?
When Columbine happened, they blamed it on Marilyn Manson. Virginia Tech, the guy just walked in the school and killed 30 people. And he’s a big Led Zepplin fan. You got Ozzy Ozzborne and his followers at that point that is totally getting overlooked. Rock sales are actually increasing at this point. So I guess they would rather they kids paint their fingernails black and worship Satan. I guess that’s what you’d like over listenin’ to hip hop.
Are you mad at Young Buck?
Nah actually me and Buck got off the phone earlier today. I spoke to him. What it is, people generally make assumptions based on what they hearing in the music. And they got an example of Buck being willing to handle a situation with Dr. Dre at the award show. So he’s not that comfortable with everybody being kind of antsy or afraid when he comes around. So he wanted to tell everybody there ain’t no problems. In doing so, he kind of separates himself from me. Cause I’m not willing to reach out to those people and tell them I don’t have a problem with them. Cause I didn’t initiate the problem. To think that you can resolve a situation with someone who actually created it from nowhere is not really smart.
Any tracks from Timbo on the album?
Yea, I got a song from Timbaland featuring Justin Timberlake.
In your whole body of work. What is the favorite joint that you’ve done?
Favorite song? Man, probably In Da Club. That one was timeless. It’s a celebration of life. Everyday it’s someone’s birthday. The song’s relevant all over everyday.
What was your favorite moment of your career so far?
When I found out my first weeks sales. On the first album. On Get Rich or Die Trying. It was unbelieveblae to me. Did like 822,000 the first week. And the second week was really mind boggling cause I did another 800 something thousand. And you know how you usually expect to do a 40/50 percent decrease. And I didn’t do nothing. I didn’t decrease nothing.
Low moments?
It’s the sacrifices to build other artist. When I did Best Friend I was doing that to keep Olivia warm. When I could’a easily been doing I’ll Whip Ya Head Boy. I could’a been doing Trick Get In My Car when I was doing the Outta Control Remix with Mobb Deep. I always sacrifice, I always make decisions to go in different directions to try and help people around me.

50 is a real big head, if he wanted to help his other artists that much he coulda let mobb deep release outta control rmx for themselves as their own single. instead he uses it to milk sales for a re-release of his own album, something that only helps him. mobb deep then dont have a mainstream single for their lp and sell poorly. i dont think the problem is 50 being too selfless with atists on his label but exactly the opposite. let them have their own shine and give up the beats!
