y does the bay hate 50

[Checkmate Muzik]

i know a lot of real street dudes in frisko that listen to 50. hes a solid artist. they make good music. the hate comes with the territory when u get big. people always gona gossip & say you sold out. even pac, jayz and a lot of big artists were hated on.

plus we on the westcoast so there is gona be biased opinions. all the snitch shit is bullshit. like hitler said "the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it". i cant hate on any minorities making money.

A cop spoke on that rumor that 50 is a SNITCH, and said that whole paperwork thing that 50 supposedly "filed", telling on Irv Gotti and getting a restraining order...never happened. The paperwork is REAL, but the cop said it is standard out there, when there's a violent attack, to automatically put a restraining order on the assailant.

Do these folks hate 50 for saying certain names in a song? Yes! But I bet those same cats were diggin' AGAINST ALL ODDS when Pac was screamin' every name he could think of, including King Tut. Was 2Pac a snitch for saying who he thought shot him? Nobody said nothin' about that.

50 is as solid as they come. He has guards because he has people who want him dead. He's been shot, he's done the shooting, he lived to tell about it, he got rich doin' it. Him being cautious is not him being a bitch either, he has a kid to take care of. Once people realize what's more important in life, we will all be better off. I don't slump 50's new shit, but I respect dude as a man and a business man.

The people on this forum who hate 50 have no reason to hate him. They are usually geeks themselves who have never even been in the streets. 50 has had a harder life than 99% of this forum growing up. He's no more of a snitch than you faggots calling him one. I like some of his music not all. But ALL his shit is better produced than any bay shit in the past 10 years. PERIOD

bay area rap talk

If half of these bay artist's had Dre's production, they'd be killin it. And not because dre production=mainstream appeal and automatic MTV airtime. What if any of the Mob Figaz had dres production?...They'd be more excepted on the east coast, you feel?

Did u & 50 used to play little league together? Did u live on the same blocc as him?? if not, how the fucc do u know what he's done?? How the fucc do u know if he shot anybody or even AT somebody?? if u goin off his raps and what he says, u in a world of confusion homie.
And last i checked, gettin shot dont mean shit except u a victim and muthafuccas want u dead. Thats something to be proud of?

50 hardly uses dre's production he mostly uses unknown producers who send him beat cd's. He just knows how to put together a quality album with bangin beats. Unlike most bay artists.

Believing he say she say shit is for the birds. Same with judging someone you don't know. To even worry about someone else's status is on the border of worrisome I think. People need to use that energy on bettering themselves and not bringing down others.

50 would of never sold the records he did had DRE/EMINEM not signed him. Anybody that signs with DRE/EM=platinum before the cd drops. You know why, cause MTV/BET/every shitty radio station in america gives anything made by DRE/EM unlimited airplay and force that shit into peoples ears.

Only 50 got that machine behind him. Game didnt get 50 like spins on radio or on tv, Em hasnt put out another artist besides 50 that has been successful..It didnt hurt 50 that he had probably one of the biggest hip hop songs of all time in "IN DA CLUB"...and to the guy who thinks 50 wont go platinum--what the fuck are you smoking? Nigga will plat the first month..And all the bay artists that be hating on 50, know damn well that if he offered them a deal theyd be sayin gggg-gunit in no time

 

[king of the O]

who cares i dont know the nigga but he do got some slappers though and oh yeah quality wise hes shiitin on bay cats hands down even e-40 the best quality albim comin from the bay i would say was copium

For real?..You sure about that?...I dont know shit about 50 but that doesn't really sound accurate, only because someone like 50 who has dre's resources at hand chooses to not use his production but use unknown producers who send him beat cds sounds faulty. I'm gonna go ahead and believe that when I see some proof.

I saw an interview with him and he did say he picked the beats for the massacre from all unknown producers, maybe thats why it was garbage. Dre made the majority of the beats for GRODT and thats probably why it was so huge(that and it had probably the hugest commercial rap single of all time).
The only reason 50 sold as many units as he did with the massacre was because a)the success from GRODT naturally carried over and made people want to cop the massacre and b)another big commercial hit(candy shop)
His new cd, will have no buzz(since the massacre was garbage and they already pushed back the release date till who knows when) and he has no huge single like he did the last 2 albums. Mark my words 50 WILL BE LUCKY TO GO 1X PLATINUM

 

[mouth_my_nuts]

^^That proves one of my points.

 

[jmacc916]

and to the guy who thinks 50 wont go platinum--what the fuck are you smoking?

Im smokin on some muthafuccin blueberry kush nigga and that shit bomb too. This is not 2001 or even 2005 where any ol rapper could go platinum. Can u name the last rapper to sell a mill?? Its been a minute homie, and that shit probably wont change.

 

[mouth_my_nuts]

i want some blueberry kush

GRODT was pretty much already done when he signed to interscope. Dre produced only 4 cuts out of 19 on GRODT which also happened to be In The Club.

Check his rapsheet dude. It is a known fact that 50 made a small fortune movin' crack...it is a known fact dude got popped...and it is a known fact 50 has done his dirt. That's just goin' by what I've read about him....information is available to the public man. If that's not good enough for you, then I'll have my dude from Queens tell you the deal on 50, and Ja, and all them cats from out there...'cause dude was in those streets during that time, and he saw what was goin' down. He's the one that told me "Supreme" was about to go down on some shit before it even happened...that's a credible source in my book.

ummmmm no.............
lil wayne and birdman only hit like 800k and i think jay-z did around the same. T.I. went platinum, but again, he had several hit singles, which 50 does not
