Feb 9, 2023 50 is working with London On Da Track for his new album, they did Too Rich together on The Kanan Tape “But he’s not completely removed from music. He recently made a post on his Instagram about dropping new music in 2023 and tells me that he’s been having producers like London on the Track send him beats. “
Feb 9, 2023 Recently there was hysteria about you commenting on a post about Eminem’s impact compared to Jay-Z’s. Can you explain what you meant? It’s not a comparison directly with Jay-Z. And what I said was, I laughed at what they were saying. I didn’t even say what I felt like was Eminem’s impact. But who would be upset with a white artist arguably performing and being the biggest artist in Black culture? Maybe n----s with attitudes would be. So n----s with attitudes were taken out of the scenario and happy with the idea of Eminem when they found out he was Dr. Dre’s artist, because Dre’s from N.W.A and that co-sign was amazing for Em. And it made them overlook everything else. Before Top 40 and crossover radio had a name they called it white radio. So when Em skyrocketed … and look at who he had beef with in the early stages of his career. It was all pop stars. And his numbers reflected who he had the disputes with, what platforms it was on and how it did. But for African American artists in hip-hop, you have to look at how much has grown since then. Hip-hop was playing for one hour on the radio when I fell in love with it. Now you could not even like the genre and before you know it, you going to know the words to the [hot] song, because it’s playing so often where you just know the words. Right now, when you saying culturally, I think [Jamal Crawford’s] statement was about how Jay-Z impacted him culturally, how he perceives Jay-Z. But when you think about how many people are consuming hip-hop culture at the moment, Em is a big part of that, bro. We should really look at the number, but I think it’s about 90 million records. If you reach 90 million consumers, do you not think that those people are becoming hip-hop fans overall? Look how many more artists you see with Rolls Royces, with Lamborghinis, with Ferraris, with Bentleys. I saw you mentioned recently that you’re working on new music and that Eminem hit you about getting in the studio with Dre. Have you all been able to lock in? What are you planning to put together this year? I started to find material that can get things going because I always like to find material I think is hot before I go to Dre and Em. [I like to figure out] what I would like the record to feel like, the body of it, and then I can find pieces that I need while I’m around them. And then I go back and finish up and get the whole thing done. I need to make something that creatively is coming from me so it has to have the pieces. And I’ll get production from everybody. I’ll call London on the Track. I’ll call all of them. I get them all, wrangle them all up, and get ideas and s--- from them. And then I start to write things around it. And then once I have a body of work, that energy, I can take it, play it, and they can get a feel of where I’m headed and work with me on things to get there. But what’s interesting is that I can get the biggest artist to work on the song with me, [but] creatively does the song work with what this album is and is it the right song? I just did a song with Ed Sheeran, we sold 10 million copies, and you don’t even know the song I’m talking about. Now if I come out with my [next rap] record and the s--- sell 10 million copies, you going to say, “That s--- is hot. That s--- sold 10 million copies again.” And then it would be different. It is going to a different audience, but it still would ring success when you see that many pieces moving. Let me ask you: Does it matter that I make a record that performs well through the sales of it? Or does it matter that when it comes on it feels like it should be played at 1 a.m. at the peak point of the party? The latter. There’s a lot of songs that sell a lot of records that I don’t care for. That’s what I’m saying to you. I want one of those to make you feel like that at 1 a.m. Then as far as the sales are concerned, the right collaboration can help you with that. Do you see a lot of artists that you feel like you could collaborate with and create that moment? Or you feel like they’re doing things differently than maybe — I think they’re doing their version of things that already exist. I always point to the young dangerous dudes: DaBaby, Lil Durk, NBA YoungBoy, Fredo b---, these dudes, they with their lifestyle and they can’t help it. Those things that they’re coming from is making them do that. Their whole experience is in the music. You got guys that rap better than them, meaning they can rap, they train themselves to rap the way we talk, but they don’t know exactly what to rap about because they haven’t done the things or haven’t gone through the things that these guys gone through. Even when you go [Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B’s] “WAP,” this is new to mainstream, [but that terminology isn’t] new to the strippers in the locker room. When they say those things, it makes sense to me why they’ll pick that. Or why when the idea comes up, she’s like, “h--- yeah.”
Feb 9, 2023 He wants to work with all the weak guys lol. And he already worked with Durk and it was trash.
Feb 9, 2023 Idk why but I’m getting @jankland & @Ripper Roo vibes https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRGT2yY6/
Feb 9, 2023 50 not working with Rihanna was a big mistake back then. Same with Bey. Do you really want these fools to be part of the album? lol Durk is the only one talented and most of his music sucks. Von was way better than him. I don’t even think 50 still has it tbh, speacially to make a whole good album.
