I have written another article for The Quietus. They pay me! Awesome huh? Check it:
As 50 Cent vainly attempts to flog another album on his label with a tired round of beefing, Adam Narkiewicz looks at how a new generation of rappers are re-introducing a spirit of community and collaboration to the genre.
Yes, that’s what I do. Read it here.
Oh shit!
Young Buck shot back at 50 pretty fast.
First off, on an emotional new song called The Taped Conversation, he’s claiming that taped conversation is a year old.
“Bitch niggas do bitch things/ look at 50 what he does just to get fame / record my phone call when I spoke from the heart / that was a year ago / this was a joke from the start”
Damn. Buck continues,
“You a ho / and I know / the only people that record conversations is five oh / and they die slow…”
And this is where we have to say, figga please!
Twice, in my knowledge, Young Buck has threatened emcees with phone conversations between him and them he’d recorded.
“I don’t know if he’s aware that I recorded that conversation that we had over the phone, ” he said of Wayne last year.
“If he responds in any type of way, I’mma end his career ’cause I got it on tape. I’mma let the world hear him complaining,” he said of Game three years ago.
So, really. Dude can’t say a whole lot now.
“I dealt with you from the heart,” laments Buck at the end of the song.
Boy oh boy, pop rap is a crazy game.
From Playlouder:
I was gonna write something about recently demoted G Unit member Young Buck shouting “fuck G Unit” a lot onstage the other day, then I thought, nah, this stuff is played out and lame, I dont wanna talk about it.
Then this morning, I wake up to a tape recorded phone conversation between Young Buck and 50, in which Buck basically sounds like he’s crying, and begs 50 for his job back.
Part one is basically all Buck going on about how loyal he is and how he’s never say anything about 50 and how wants back in.
In Part two Buck cries about his money situation and appologises to 50 and says he’s confused then actually cries actual audible tears.
Shit is horrorful to listen to, really. Shame on 50 for putting this out there just to sell a few more copies of the new G Unit album (tagged as it is with “thisis50dotcom!”). I feel traumatised. I just heard a guy get his life ruined.
It is ruined, right? In this rap landscape where careers are built on hardness and cashsplashiness, a guy can’t come back from being recorded crying to his boss about money, right?
