…You Got To Do It Yourself

Curtis

Here’s the song I was talking about in my Friday Fifty blog. It’s actually better than I remember. This is the hungriest he has sounded since the 2050 mixtape. His ranting at the end is priceless as always, but the rhymes isn’t half bad either. Plus it’s better than everything he dropped on the last G-Unit tape (minus “Paperchaser). If he drops one of these every two weeks until October and then follows up with a single around the same time the Yankees are in the World Series (take that Bosox)….BOOM! 5x Platinum! Look out Hov! Watch yourself Nas! Push your shit back Jeezy! Hip Hop’s version of Rudolph Giuliani is coming to declare marshal law.

50 Cent “Ghetto Superstar” (2006) [audio:http://www.xxlmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/50ghettosuperstar56k.mp3]

“Rappers keep saying ‘They bringing New York back’

I aint go nowhere I AM NEW YORK Jack!”

    50 isn’t always there when we want him, but he comes with the heat in his time of need. The shit he spit on Power Of The Dollar and eything BEFORE Get Rich . . . Is why I STILL think he’s deffinetly NYs only hope at the moment. He needs to forget about record sales this time around and jus bang out one for the hood. For those of you outside on NYCity, or those who listen to any of 50s wack enemies million and one diss records, YES 50 shit still gets A LOT of burn in the hood trust me. Its bout to be G Unit . . . and eyone else real real REAL soon.

  • Profit

    Don’t forget 50 struggled for a long time just to get in the game. He knows how to be hungry. I still don’t think he can bring us back alone. (by the way the Yankees fucked Boston up!)

    how ill

    The track is solid but as you stated in the last blog on 50 with mobb deep flopping, and the rest of the roster looking shakey and with a lot of pressure on banks and buck it’s crunch time for the general of the unit. This track is a good indicative but his gotta step up and raise his game to the days in the past and show that hunger cause it looks like ole boy got to him with all the disses and campaigns.

    50 Cent likes men.

  • the dough

    Sickamore and Bol straight cream their jeans when 50 Cent finally discovers that it is possible to rhyme more than one syllable. Not that they aren’t words people haven’t rhymed tne thousand times before, shit sounds like a nursery rhyme, plus this sounds like some throw away beat for Mase. After the first half he decides to stop trying to make people think he can rap and just masturbates, talking about how awesome he is.

  • young jb

  • pop a poppa

    whatever you say Sick… ain’t nobody gotta worry ’bout gettin’ they shit pushed back cuz of 50. he don’t got it like that no more. only people that should be worried are the ones on Interscope since he runs that shit. Jada and Styles need to stir up another “Let The Lox Go” campaign so they can finally drop their albums. Atlantic or Def Jam would be a good fit for them.

  • Eastside Bread Maker

    You seriously, I’ve always said that 50 is one of the better rappers to come out of NY. Now people can make valide arguments against that due to most of the songs on the Massacre, but like DJ Clue used to say: “DO REMEMBER!!!” that nigga is nice. Need i remind you all of his first album turned mixtape classic, “Power of a Dollar/Guess Who’s Back”. Thats the 50 that i heard on the last G-Unit mixtape and thats the 50 that is running all over that Entourage beat. I’ll put it like this, if he keeps this up, its another guaranteed 3x platinum, cuz I’m buying 3 copies. One for the whip, one for my crib and one for my girl’s crib.

    Oh Yea, Its DIPSET BITCHES!!!

    BAAAALLLIIINNNGGG!!!

    “NY loves the Yankees, Boston loves winning” – some drunk dude outside Fenway 10/27/04

    Curtis Wackson pulled a Master P. He was too busy wit all is other business endeavors that he let the music slip away. He’s like how Ja was when they where goin at it.
    50: should I sing? should I be tough again? what should I do? Jimmy, whats Game doin? Nigga stick to vitamin water (the DragonFruit is 10X better than Formula50) and books and let Buck out of his contract.

  • Prince of the South

    50 getting that swagger back. All hate aside you have to give him his props, 50 is nice. He’s been stepping his game up since those Bulletproof songs. If he keep it up it’s going to be 2003 all over again, he’s going to outsell whole record labels again, that’s the first time that’s happened. I won’t say he’s back until I hear him go hard on another album. He dropped the 2050 record which was good and then he dropped the weed plate, the massacre. We don’t need Curtis Interscope Jackson, we need 50 cent to drop another record.
    “Niggaz talking about bring New York Back/ I ain’t go no where I’am NY jack” He better bring it for Round Three or he’s going to be like Ja Rule at the end of 2007, making music from the grave. None of them people who dissing 50 want to see him when he like this. Check Get Rich and if you can say he didn’t have gems you are a hater.

  • Truth

    50 comming back, but I think it’s a little too late. He’s almost got his swagger back, but it’s not there. G-Unit ain’t bringing it like they used to, only Buck and 50 bringing some heat. Banks wasn’t that good to begin with and he fell off big time.

  • Trap Sumthin’

    50 is a fake bitch. Fuck em

  • SugarHill

    50 NEEDS TO STOP FUCKING SINGING!

    And get off of these bullshit pop lyrics.

    yo man i reckon this is dissing game.

    In the stop snithchin stop lying dvd game makes fun of 50cent about lots of these things.
