Jay did it and now it’s Curtis’ turn to field questions from Angie Martinez, Harry Allen and Stephen A. Smith. It’s some Food For Thought. Dig in.





I'm down for good music for a good cause but this ain't the case. The homie Sha from MTV hit me with a question yesterday I dreaded goin' on the record about: How do I feel about hip-hop artists being included in the "We Are The World" remake? Geez, I guess we've come long way since 1985. I don't think you could do it any other way than include our culture which is the pulse of pop culture. But instead of feeling any type of validation, I feel disgust. Seriously, a complete remake of the original song? Celine Dion gettin' her Cyndi Lauper on? Lil Wayne as Bob Dylan? Fuck outta here. Didn't I see Will.I.Am in the flicks? They could gave that nigga an hour plus a pen and a pad and I'm sure he'd come up with something cheesy for no small fee but for free. I'm truly scared to hear what the final product is gonna sound like. Are we really gonna hear the soothing vocals of Nipsey Hussle in the final mix? Highly doubt it. Damn, it's the thought that counts but this just doesn't feel right. Shame on a couple of legendary nuhs named Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones. MJ is turning over in his oxygen tank.
You know you done fucked up, don't you? You know it, don't you? You know you done fucked up.

I’m from Africa too and Jay is not a patch on 50 in my parts. 50 di man. As to who’s better, it’s down to personal choice. I prefer 50 others prefer Jay but a 50 concert will way outsell Jay’s anywhere in Africa. Anywhere! Only a few artists like Akon will outperform 50 in Africa. Beyonce is bigger than Jay Z in Africa – but I wouldn’t call him a Mr Knowles hahaha. BISD is absolute fire, whether he sells 150, 150,000 or 1,500,000 – doesn’t matter. This record is for the fans.

“EVERYONE KNOWS THAT DEF JAM BUY SOME OF THIER OWN RECORDS.
IF ITS TRUE THAT 50 SOLD 150K THATS NOT BAD KNOWING THAT HES ALBUM BEEN ON THE INTERNET FOR 4 WEEKS NOW”
^^^
YOU ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL BRUH, IF ANYBODY HAS THE CLOUT TO BUY UP HIS OWN RECORDS, IT’S 50. YOU KNOW DAMN WELL DEF JAM ONLY BUYS JAY’S RECORDS.

^^^LMMFAO!________________________MAN DOWN!!
What he said is true, In most parts of Europe people only know Jay from after Beyoncé.
1 thing?? Why mention another man in your interview…repeatedly! Stans, don’t bother me, you don’t know who I like, i’m asking a honest question.
FIDDY!
fuck 50. floppin ass bitch… black london is a fag
yeah, it looks like its gunna flop. but that’s ok, good music is good music regardless of the sales numbers, I enjoyed the record.
Who gives a f**k what they think jay is in other countries. Thats gay, 50 got a hot album, leave it @ that. Jay is now and will be for a while the king of N.Y. Yankes games, oprah in the p.J’s more classic albums. The city treats jay like he’s the one. 911 concerts, meetings wit the mayor. c’mon man you cant deny jays influence is much bigger than 5ths and thats coming from somebody who likes BISD more than Bp3. Lets not just act like jay is A** though . I hated Jordan but I cant tell you he wasnt one of the best. This is hiphop so I respect 50’s right to want to battle, but c’mon lets not let who is hot in africa be how we judge who’s the best. Wu- Tang is huge overseas, does that make them the best ?
if tupac was alive he would be talkin real shit, like a 5yrold lil girl being sold for prositution. all 50 talk bout is JAYZ and damn that shit gets tiring, even if they asking him questions about JAY. I WISH 50 WOULD BRING UP SEAN BELL and talk some sense. right now JAYZ teaming up with Will Smith to produce a broadway musical for some new talented african artist. at least its positive things but damn 50 dont talk real shit at all, if aint ross, its joe, if it aint joe, its buck, if it aint buck, its game, if it aint game its JAYZ………..HOTDAMN 50, u 35 grow the fuck up, thats why JAYZ stated “NO ONE IS SCARED OF 50CENT” and fif riding that commenbt to the graveyard but if JIGGAMAN does respond, they gonna wish he didnt, YOU CANT FUCK WITH HOV!
YO 50 REFUSE TO TALK BOUT JAYZ FOR NOW ON IN INTERVIEWS, STOP WITH THAT BLACK ON BLACK HATING FOR NO REAL REASON…..STOP IT AND BUY YOUR OWN ALBUMS!
LOL @ nickey black!!!!!!
Fela Kuti is far from “some new talented african artist”! Don’t limit yourself to just this hip hop buffoonery. With that said, HOV 4 EVA!
go against JIGGA ya ass is dense, im bout a dollar wha da fuk is 50cent
AND 50 MADE BE A GENTLEMEN
ask nas he wanted with HOV nooooooooo…
AND NAS MADE ETHER
grown men wanna sit upon my lap
AND BEANS MADE AVERAGE CAT AND HOW CAN I KILL JIGGA MAN
no one is scared of 50cent
AND 50 HAS’NT STOP TALKING ABOUT JAYZ SINCE
50 came thru like hurricanes do…..
AND THE JAYZ HATERZ SUCH AS BLOGGERS KEEP SAYING EVERYDAY HE DISSED 50
Games is a groupie
AND GAME WENT IN ON JAY MORE THAN A FEW TIMES
JAYZ’S ONE LINES ARE LIKE RAW UNCUT COKE UP DUDES NOSES, THEY GET ADDICTED TO GETTING AT JAY AND WHEN THEY CANT GET MORE OF JAYZ’S COCAINE TYPE OF LINES, THEY CALL HIM EVERYNAME NONE TO MANKIND. ITS EXACTLY LIKE A DOPEFIEND GETTING MAD AT THE DRUG DEALER CUZ HE WONT GIVE HIM A LITTLE TASTE OF HIS CRACK OR A BIGGER PIECE FOR $1O, JAYZ HAS MADE NIGGAZ INTO DOPEFIENDS AND THAT SHIT IS REMARKABLE!
fuck 50,jay way better than him
