I was in bed last night pondering upon a question I had been asked by @RupeshB: Who did I think was the most consistently on point rapper throughout their career? The answer I gave couldn’t have been a freshman MC (hell even I could be consistent for five minutes) and therefore had to be someone who had seen the changes in the demands of the genre; Someone who had spanned the 90’s and 00’s; Someone who had not necessarily cemented his stature in the hip-hop hall of fame; Merely someone who, throughout their career, has consistently brought a high standard of rapping ability time and time again and yet is still doing it to this very day.

Diddy made one of the most expensive music videos of all time in an attempt to do justice to this epic track. An outstanding motivational song which sadly Biggie wasn’t alive to be involved in the actual video itself. A real shame given the quality of his verses in this.
As always, if you haven’t got this already you can redeem yourself by clicking the red text below, I’ve also thrown in the 2004 remake of this song which features 50 cent and Lloyd Banks for good measure.

Edit: As requested here is another classic collabo by Puff Daddy/Diddy from the same album. Is This The End? ft. Ginuwine, Twista & Carl Thomas

OK, put your hands up if you know 50 Cent. No, not know him, I mean have heard of him. Yeah thought so. All of you. I think even my Mum knows who 50 is. If you don’t you must be a troglodyte.
Anyway, not all of you may know his history or, more importantly, his music before In Da Club.
After the click I’ve got all this exclusively for you. Plus, I’ve carefully handpicked 8 of his best pre-2000 work for your enjoyment.

2009 was one hell of an interesting year. We saw the comeback of Eminem, albums by the 2 other big names of hip-hop in Jay-Z and 50 Cent, and once again we waited all year for Dr. Dre’s Detox which never came. It’s fair to say that despite this the year hasn’t been dominated by the big boys and we’ve seen a gradual change in hip hop – the gangsta rap of previous years has steadily evolved into what can be described as ‘Hip Hop Hipsters’. Kanye led the way back in 2004 and by 2009 the likes of Lupe Fiasco, Kid Cudi, Wale and Asher Roth have emerged.

In what can best be described as a fitting coincidence given the retrospective nature of this particular post, 2009 was very much a year of hindsight. I rediscovered artists I’d neglected, I discovered artists who I’d simply ignored, but most importantly I began to see the fundamental flaw in my appreciation of music (especially hip-hop) and how I probably got it wrong.
Don’t make the same mistakes. Click on to grab some unmissable tracks, and of course my discoveries from the year gone by. I’ve thrown in a couple of lists too, as I know some of you can’t deal with excess reading.

50 drops a video for one of my favourite tracks from Before I Self Destruct. This track’s got some real potential to be a big hit for 50.

Firstly, apologies for the quiet day on here. I’m having some issues with the back-end of things, and it’s going a lot slower than usual. Hopefully, normal service will resume in the next hour or so.
Right, onto this post: I get through a lot of albums weekly, and unfortunately just don’t have the time to do as many reviews as I’d like. They take a huge amount of time, which is pretty hard to come by. Don’t fret though, as I will have some coming up very soon (the assignments are nearly done!) and to tie you over I’ve written some mini-reviews on albums I’ve given a spin recently. Click below to swarm yourself in my warped opinions.

The first of some seriously big tracks coming today/tomorrow is the much anticipated collaboration between these two. Those of you who follow hip-hop news will know of the Beanie/Jay-Z issues that have come to light recently. It seems 50’s firmly with Beans, and is taking the opportunity to fire some shots at Jay-Z (that is the official artwork by the way). Nice marketing for 50’s upcoming album.
It’s going to be interesting to see how this turns out. The track itself is pretty dope with great production, and on first listen there aren’t really any obvious Jay references besides 50’s talking at the end. Definitely check it out.
Beanie Sigel-I Go Off Ft. 50 Cent

This is a bonus track from 50 Cent’s new album Before I Self Destruct. I’m liking the beat + chorus on this, sounds like something that could have been on his first album.

Say what you want about dude’s music, he’s funny as hell. This video has him reacting to the sales figures for Triple C’s (Officer Rick Ross’ squadron) debut album.

Apparently, having a baby by him makes you a millionaire. If you’d like to be told that further, pick up the audio here.

Sorry for the caps in the title, I just wanted to grab your attention. Here is the much anticipated collaboration between 50 Cent and Eminem from 50’s looming new album. 50 switches his flow up, which I assume he’s done so he’s not outshone by Eminem. It’s a valiant effort but it was to no avail – Eminem really rips this to shreds. A superb beat by Eminem too, go get it below.
Psycho ft. Eminem

Mere days after 50 Cent dropped Crime Wave, he releases the video and the official remix.
Given that 50’s new content is supposed to be more ‘aggressive’, grabbing Gucci Mane for the remix is a bizarre move to say the least. However, I am reliably informed that Gucci actually does a job on this and outdoes 50. Interesting.
50 Cent-Crime Wave Remix ft. Gucci Mane
ajay182: October 22, 2009
Crime Wave is expected to be on 50’s upcoming Before I Self Destruct. He’s promised that BISD will contain more ‘aggressive content’ than even Get Rich or Die Tryin’ (with the exception of Baby By Me) and you can judge for yourself whether he’s telling the truth below.

Fat Joe has recently released a new album, which seems to have re-sparked 50 Cent’s dislike of him.
Click below to see 2 recent hilarious videos of what happened when 50 Cent heard Fat Joe’s album.

This song is going to split opinion, you’ll either love it or hate it. 50 Cent with a dab of autotune? Now I’ve heard everything.
A track that is very much like Black Eyed Peas’ Boom Boom Pow, it’s unclear whether this is going to be on his new album or not – apparantly it’s just a demo, but I can see this techno-backed track being a hit on the radio and in the clubs….go judge for yourself by clicking below.

From DJ Kay Slay’s upcoming album, grab the Dr. Dre produced Dreamin’ below. It’s a pretty decent track, and as expected the beat is pretty nice.

For you DJs and purists out there, here’s a higher quality version of 50 Cent’s Baby By Me remix, that we originally gave you here.
50 Cent-Baby By Me Remix Ft. Ne-Yo
ajay182: September 10, 2009
Fiddy is back (although this is his first appearance here!), and dropped a new single along with a remix for it. The remix has Ne-Yo on the hook, and it’s actually a pretty decent track. It’s not exactly Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ standard as it’s a little more ‘mainstream’, but it isn’t too bad.
