This isn't beef. It ain't even war. It's just embarrassing, homie. C0mca5t and I can't even call this a war of words, this is... a war of livelihoods... of credibility!
William Leonard Roberts II AKA Rick Ross Vs. Curtis James Jackson III AKA 50 Cent
This is the most serious beef I have ever seen. Maybe because many of the most scathing attacks have not come from diss tracks, but interviews and videos. It also happens to be the most RIDICULOUS battles EVER, maybe because of the way in which it began... but also in the way the participants (considering their checkered past) have carried them out.
"Rick Ross is doing good. I also complimented him that he had the #1 album. I said, 'Just don't stand too close to this fat piece of sh*t.' I'm saying that because of what [Joe's] trying to do. He runs to Miami and hangs out with them like he's running Miami? Does Fat Joe run Miami? I don't think Fat Joe runs Miami. I think people from Miami would be upset you're even questioning that. The fact he can influence DJ Khaled on the radio, does that mean Fat Joe runs Miami? ... I don't care if [Khaled] ever plays my records. He's not important enough to what I'm doing for it to matter. Not to say Miami doesn't count. He doesn't count for it to matter to me." -50 Cent, March 31, 2008
Boy I wish Rawse listened. He started all this sh*t really. We all know what 50 Cent is capable of, he mentions what he is capable of. He was attempting to attack Lil Wayne, but he was not dumb as Ricky Ross and unwilling to become a marketing ploy for "Before I Self Destruct." The video was not out yet, but I figure I'll post it now without doing it twice. This ends short, but whatever... the diss is mentioned.
I love to pay a bill, can't wait to pay a rent/ Curtis Jackson baby mother ain't asking for a cent/ Burn the house down, gotta buy another/ Don't forget the gas can, jealous stupid motherf*cker
2 and a half bars set off the biggest beef in years. Never has 50 Cent been as THOROUGH since... like... Ja Rule!
We interrupt this broadcast for A C0mca5t TV special:
Another beef is brewing up in the "hip-hop" industry that could end up veering out of control...literally. DeAndre Way and Shad Moss, better known as Soulja Boy (Tellem) and (Lil) Bow Wow, have exchanged choice words over the past few days that went from seemingly playful ignorance to sensitive bitchassness. However, this is not your normal beef. There are no cartoons, cops, or baby mothers involved; there are no threats to "put feet in niggas asses"; and thank God there are no rap battles between these two artists. Instead, they are settling their differences through a race for keeps...of Lambos. Let's see how this all came about...with commentary of course.....
I must admit, Soulja Boy's "Rich Nigga Shit" series is nothing short of comedic. However, Soulja Boy, you cannot rely on Youtube views and comments to feed you! "Crank Dat" will not last forever. Your last album went air. Arab will probably sell 5 more albums than your sophomore effort. And we're in a recession. You're a semi-smart kid. You already got property. Good. You take care of your family. Great. Like you said, you came up in one year. What's gonna happen next year? You want to be a good role model to the kids? *marketing ploy* You want to show the kids some REAL "rich nigga shit?" Show the kids what to really do with money: buy stocks, invest in more property, own the Atlanta Hawks. Let your money grow before you start showing it all off. No hate though.
This is how Bow Wow replies.....
Ok...now maybe I'm just a poor ass nigga...but who said the "Lamborghini Club" can't include the Gallardo? Someone please inform me, cuz if yall don't want "The Poor Man's Lamborghini", I know one person who wouldn't mind having it! Anyway, so yea...no harm done, right? Friendly competition? Not to Soulja Boy, who seemed to take his response a little too personal.....
Bow Wow calling Soulja Boy a "little nigga" and Soulja Boy demonstrating how "little" that "nigga" Bow Wow is...funny. Commenting on how you bought your Lambo with his "Marco Polo" money...funny. Attempting to expose him as being a fake...low blow. Unless you just completely stopped liking Bow after his video, which I doubt, you can't call a man out for being fake, even if it is true. If me and my boy were to start making fun of each other in the middle of the mall or something, I'm not gonna bring up how he used to wet the bed up until last year for the whole public to hear. That's just wrong. *None of my boys wet the bed...just an example.* Oh, and the doors on a Gallardo don't go up because they were made that way. It has nothing to do with the top dropping or anything else.
Here, Bow Wow tries to clear his name.....
First, you are not from Atlanta. You are from Ohio, a no-name city in Ohio at that. You cannot try to rep Godby Rd. or Bankhead like you a native homie. You are not JD. Nigga YOU wouldn't step a foot in Bankhead. Stop flexin'. Second, get your info straight. Lamborghini is an Italian company. All lambos are made overseas, including the Gallardo. Automobili Lamborghini is owned by Audi, which is owned by VW *which will soon be owned by Porsche.* Maybe you just happened to get a bit confused since, yes, the Gallardo's parent company is Audi AG, however, your Murcielago is under VW AG parent company. Since VW owns Audi, you really had no room to comment on where his car was made. Third, that was not conclusive evidence that you bought that car. Where is the slip? That could have been your registration to a totally different car. *granted I still think it's actually your car, but prove it* Fourth, SPIT THAT DAMN TOOTHPICK OUT! Fifth, that suspense noise...funny. Sixth, the "rich nigga shit" plug...funny. Seventh, talking about buying 100k of iSouljaBoyTellEm...to save his life...funny. Finally...don't seem so hurt next time. You seem like "Ramone" *his middle name is ACTUALLY Cortez* actually ruffled your feathers kid...chill out homie. In any case, Bow Wow ripped Soulja Boy a new one with this video. If he can't win this race, he can kiss his career good-bye.......through the phone.
So, there you have it folks at home. The race is being set up, with a few business moves credited to "Lamborghini" Moss. What made him refer to himself as Lamborghini? *He should replace it with Shad* How will Soulja Boy reply? Who will lose their car? Who cares? And where did THIS nigga come from trying to get in on the action?.....
I guess that "Beautiful Girl" didn't make him commit suicide after all...his doors don't go up.
This is J.B. Charisma, bringing you what other people already brought...with commentary. Only on C0mca5t TV.
So I'm behind on my posts... AGAIN. Between finding out some extra heartbreaking news in my personal life, getting back to school, and drama that picked me up from the airport and followed me to campus, I'm behind. I've gotten a lot of sh*t to air out... complain about, depending on your love/hater status.
Apparently, Ole Berg is still getting his *ss whooped again. This happened like a week and a half ago, but according to illseed and his infamous rumor mill, Berg and Master P's nephew, Young Trump, got into a fight last week. Surprisingly, no one got involved (not even Berg's security HAHA). The match was pretty even until Trump swung and knocked Berg out. Ole Berg's security then pushed Master P's nephew off and the club security broke it all up. It's not up on his myspace now, but Trump had a pic up that depicted a photoshopped Berg with bruises and such with a message, "yung-berg nigga we got yah!!!!!"
Well aren't we creative?
Cannon Ball Note: "Young Trump?" Negro Please.
Second, and more importantly, I think this a sign of worsening conditions in 2009, for both Yung Berg and us all. We have all grown accustomed to the hater and his devious, sometimes infectious, bitchassness. We have also watched and laughed at the beatdowns unfortunate person's experience on YouTube. 2008 was the year of the slapper, where everyone was experiencing this most demeaning types of assault. 2009, however, seems to be the year of the YouTube Slapper, haters who broadcast their "alleged" feats of bitchassness online.
You see the combined might of the disrespect we have left to fester all these years now???
What you got on a WWJD band for nigga?! Jesus don't threaten anyone with beatdowns!
Now, I don't like Sambo Boy, and I will tell anyone who listens or reads my blog (stay tuned). Maybe I'm a hater, or maybe I don't like the type of music he puts out or the image he portrays that convinces people our generation are a bunch of minstrels who appreciates slave masters. I guess it's hate then. BUT, this guy is ridonculous, and a good example of the bs that we are dealing it. Not to mention the grown *ss men who went on YouTube claiming they are the ones who robbed the Sambo and tried to kidnap on of his boys? Isn't that evidence of a felony?!
What's interesting is that, although there might not be footage of the actual slap, beatdown, etc of any superstar, you will most like fine someone taking credit for it. For example, search for Katt Williams getting slapped. Face slapping, chain snatching, home invading and car jacking masked bandits are no longer keeping their *ss in the shadows and behind the bushes. They want credit too, like the actual producers of some of these hit records. Rappers have been taking responsibility for all sorts of niggerdom recently to the relief of those who actually did it, ie, the smart niggas who are AVOIDING prosecution. Now some niggas are actually pretty stupid, and have been prosecuted for their Myspace page and YouTube channel.
The YouTube Slapper can't rap, but is steadily polejocking the most recent and fastest growing Hip-Hop trend since skinny jeans.
Is there anything that we can do about this? I doubt it. I believe this is just the next step in the evolution of hate. Instead of getting an education and become a law-abiding citizen, good father, or President, these young men are interested in leaching and robbing dudes of their success. We can pull the plug on these YouTube Slappers, but it's been happening in real life forever. It's so latent that we don't even notice anymore... have you ever though about how Rico from "Whoop Rico" feels?
Maybe we could dismiss all these YouTube Slappers who fake criminals who want infamy, or future criminals who will need a lawyer. But then we would probably have to dismiss all of our favorite snowman/thug/gangsta/REAL rappers. Yes, we all know that Young Trump (Trump...SMH) will never put out a credible album that will sell, but what about 50 Cent and his bullying? Or the Lil Wayne or Jim Jones and their Blood "affiliations?" Jay-Z hasn't hustled on the street in like 15 years, but he still goes hard like Brooklyn.
How about Maino, who has championed the "I Heart Haters" movement I so readily detest? What can he say, when he's bragging about slapping Ole Berg or beating up Lil Cease.
It has finally started, 50 Cent has to put a record out... I mean, the beef between he and Lil Wayne has ignited. Yay, another war between Black men with money, because they didn't like what each other said about them. While I believe this beef started looong ago (read below), people believe that Fiddy took the first shot when he called Weezy a "whore" for appearing on everyone's records and questioned his sexuality for kissing Baby in that picture years ago.
Those are fighting words for sure.
"The Best Rapper Alive" (smh) didn't want no parts of beef with the G-Unit General. At first he took the whore insult as a compliment, stating that he likes being a whore because it is a man that sleeps with everyone. He would have been more insulted if he was called a ho because they can be taken advantage of. Really? Now I paraphrased that, so I'm sure the actual quote is so much more ignorant.
Later he admitted he just didn't want beef with 50 Cent. It was okay, that gorilla is a career killer. However, the beatdown "Curtis" received at the hands of "Graduation," the loss of Young Buck and the platinum-in-a-week Carter III might have changed the tides.
In any case, " Louisianimal " began making rounds on the internet, as well as appearing on "The Drought is Over Pt. 6" mixtape. In it, Lil Wayne proclaims defiantly, "All about a dolla, f*ck two quarters/B*tch I'll pour syrup in that Vitamin Water/I hope you die ugly, and tonight will be gorgeous."
Although message boards and blogs have claimed the track was old and leaked, 50 did not retaliate, but is now addressing the matter in an interview. "It doesn’t matter if it’s old or not. Now I know how you feel,” said 50. "I'll leave it like it is right now and wait till I'm comfortable and then I’ll do what I do. Think about it, no one from his camp said it was a leak. We could assume it was leak but he's a celebrity. If it was a leak, he would come out and say something."
I’m really not surprised by this. 50 came at Ja Rule and Murder Inc. for “Get Rich or Die Tryin’.” He came at Fat Joe, Jadakiss and NaS for The Massacre. The previously mentioned “Curtissssss” was marketed against Kanye West. Obviously Lil Wayne is his next ploy for “Before I Self Destruct.” HELL, “Power of the Dollar,” his first mixtape, featured “How To Rob,” which came at all the rappers around in 2002. It was Jay-Z’s response to that single that put this nuisance on.
Dammit Hov.
I have to sound off on this one. What actually annoys me is his response on the state of hip-hop, "I wanna bring hip hop back to where you can actually rap and sell records… The format now is to go get T-Pain or go get someone who consistently has radio airplay and hope it translate into sales for you," 50 continued. "Think about it, which average rap artist has a record out and it’s just them. You gotta respect Kanye for that; he's the only one who made his own record. He made an R&B record but it was still his own record."
This man is talking about music for the sake of sales? The entire premise of his career is based on how much he has sold and not how much he has influenced. Hip-hop is true to the art form and the message (however diluted from the artist’s real life). This man still does not understand that Jay-Z will always be more important to hip-hop AND New York City no matter how many albums he sells worldwide or how big his share of Vitamin Water is.
Also, 50 Cent is one of the main reasons that guys are collaborating with R&B artists. Actually… Ja Rule is the biggest… but ole Fiddy made it cool again. Hello? “21 Questions ft. Nate Dogg,” “Candy Shop ft. Olivia,” “Best Friend ft. Olivia,” “Ayo Technology ft. Timbaland and Justin Timberlake,” “Follow My Lead ft. Robin Thicke.” Those are just his: forget the sob stories by out G-Unit members and the R&B singles he’s featured on.
Asked if he would be experimenting on “Before I Self Destruct” like Kanye West did on “808's & Heartbreak,” 50 replied: "It's an experiment because it's me seeing whether I can go back to the original format and bring the art form back. I’m sure next year my camp is gonna be influencing a lot because they are gonna see all three of us come out next year. Me, Em and Dre."
I hope he self destructs before the album comes out. Or at least bricks afterward.
So... the meaning of Cannon Ball Sprint... It's obviously influenced by the nickname. Cannon Ball Run was taken, and now that I have sprint, seems like the better choice ANYWAY. It describes the race of ideas I run through... excuse me... sprint through in the span of seconds to formulate some a-hole or insightful thing to piss off or impress the people I interact with. It's about time I expand on these things to see if I get the same reactions on the web.
