Okay, so I’ve been keeping up with all the gossip and craziness surrounding the 50 vs. Rick Ross beef and I must say I’m very amused! This is what hip-hop needs! A lil entertainment.
Who do I side with? Well even though I’m from Florida and would normally back the 305, I gotta go with 50 on this one.
As a classic movie once said, ‘u ain’t gotta lie to kick it craig’. Same quote applies to Rick Ross. He messed up when he lied about being a correctional officer. What was the big deal?? A lot of those guys are crooked anyways. All he had to do was say ‘yeah I was gettin that paper and?’ and people would have left him alone. For example, when Diddy got exposed for not owning his own private jet, he owned up to it and said he owned a wing of the jet. We all laughed and moved on. Trust me, the truth will set you free!
So then we get to the Rick Ross song where he said a lil something about 50 & his babymomma situation. Unnecessary shot! Of all people to talk about, 50 would probably be on of the last I would say something about! Did Rick Ross really think he wasn’t gonna do anything? Come on now… this is the guy who caused damage to the careers of Ja Rule, Young Buck, Cam’ron, Fat Joe, etc. Even The Game is siding with 50 on this one.
Anyways, not only does 50 respond with his own diss record, but he releases a cartoon, a video saying he will end Rick Ross’s career and even takes Rick’s baby mama shopping! Hi-la-rious! Oh and he just launched officerricky.com and called up to a Miami radio station to diss Ross! I must say 50 is the king of marketing. This is a helluva publicity stunt. So what does Rick Ross do? Nothing really…. WTF? Here is your opportunity to have a lil fun and get back at 50 and you just chill?
So what now? Will this translate into album sales for 50? Don’t know, but what I do know is that he’s like Kobe Bryant. Some people love him and others hate him but all have to give him props for what he does. I think so long as this stays on records and the internet and doesn’t go into the streets on some foolishness then its great for the game. Definately entertaining and isn’t this called the ‘entertainment business’?
Keep doing whatcha do 50…. I’m waiting on the next cartoon…… lol!
