i read the book the RIck Ross spoke about (15 Laws of the Street) in the Dj Envy interview. the book is pure heat! you can say what you will about his past. The album is fire and the book is a classic in the making. When it hits the game is gonna flip. The dudes who wrote it are real soldiers too!

Technology has changed everything about the rap battles waged, and as noted in the article, the candidate/rapper who embraces this new platform, outperforms his opponent. The winner is determined by several factors, like popularity and antics, instead of talent and there's no denying that 50cent creates good hip hop theater and buzz. Its funny, but the 50 vs. Ross beef reminds me of the infamous Mike Tyson fights. Say what you want about Iron Mike but we loved seeing him destroy his opponents, just as we love watching 50's attempts at destroying Ross. It never really mattered what Ross did in his past, but how he falsely responded to the questions about his past, and nobody respects an outright liar, unless they have an exceptional talent because, the truth is, ain't none of them keeping it 100%. check out my podcasts for some awesome dj mixes at nessdigi.podomatic (dot) com.

This is a good example of how 1.) how hip hop won't stop evolving like it or not...and 2.) it shows that 50 cent is a driving force in hip hop like it or not and 3.) it's a good show of great reporting. I just wish 50 would change his ways, as entertaining as this battle is. Make some music already. and move on.

IF THE "COP" WINS... HIP HOP IS OVER!!! No way in hell can that ex correctional officer win and hip hop survive. We already have A GAY FRIENDLY RAPPER - KANYE WEST... A RAPPER THAT KISSES A MAN IN THE MOUTH THAT'S NOT HIS FATHER WHO HE CALLS DADDY - LIL WAYNE.... AND IF OFFICER RICKY WINS??? WE'LL HAVE AN EX COP AT THE TOP?? ...hip hop will be literally dead then.

LOL.. THIS IS ALL ABOUT RICK ROSS!!.. Seriously, 50 cent already made his money. IF RICK ROSS FLOPS... CAREER OVER!!... If Rick Ross Sells?? 100,000 units the first week or more?? He'll be a star and 50 cent will have to swallow his pride. But he'll still be RICH!! lol.

Eric Parker & Village Voice, you all did the best job yet portraying the 50 Cent/Rick Ross feud. One video that is worth mentioning, though, is the cartoon going at DJ Khaled, Ross, Wayne, and Kanye. That has to be funniest thing I've seen yet. In fact, since 50 called Wayne a junkie on "Play This On The Radio", Wayne's styrofoam cup is noticeably absent, and he claims he has given up the cough syrup. 50 has been somewhat quiet, the last couple of weeks, so I'm curious what might transpire this weekend or next week, when Rick Ross's record drops; probably drop like an anchor in the deep sea, like Cam, and Ja Rule, I doubt Rick is going recover from this.

Lets get 1 thing straight:
even pac predicted this shit...He said there would be fake niggaz tryin 2 be real and actin all hard when in fact they never lived that certain lifestyle. Yes Ross makes good music but its all a lie!.
Hate him or love him, 50 was a hustler. He didint go prison 4 nothing. People from his own hood can certify this and even saw 4 themselves his hustle. The nigga had benzez and land crusiers when he was 18 years old!
at least u can beleive 50
rap is a shamble these days. 2 many fake niggas
You should thank 50 for exposin these frauds....Real Talk

this was never about rap or hip-hop music , this was about an artist disrespecting another artist on a personal level in regards to his family , which he did not know , solely to promote his next project , and the other artist being handicapped from causing physical harm to that person deciding to publically humiliate him.
you cant call this a rap battle , because the only parts of this that have to do with rap is the way it started and the occupation of these to artists.
Rick ross's diss tracks were terrible 1 min tracks and after officer down by lloyd banks the musical part of the beef itself was a wrap.
Rick ross is producing some good album cuts but that has no relation to the beef itself.
The fact is if you really think about 50 cent spent very little tim conducting this beef , he made 3 tracks one of them with a video to promote his video game and pimpin curly thing was addressing pimpin ken and foxy brown and then evolved to be promotion for the website , other than interviews he really didnt conduct this campaign at all.

ross is winning thus far.nobody is talking about his baby mothers no more,he keeps putting out hot music and what is ur boy 50 doing? 50cent cant rap to save his life thats y hes resorting 2 other things 2 shift the focus of the audience from the basics(rap). Ross is actually looking like a winner.matter of fact where is 50?

Musically, rick ross is winning this beef. 50 cent obviously can't rap that's why he used the baby mama sex tape and the shopping spree instead of actually rapping. 50 sucks.

First I want to point out to the author that Kanye only beat 50 domestically in first week's sales...I know alot of folks like to forget that when it comes down to the numbers...
This battle shows that 50 was the more resourceful of the two MC's...it also got to a point where u could not listen to the freestyles that ross was putting out because they were corney and pointless...
I think the icing on the cake and the waving of the white flag was when ross just came out and admitted to his past..I never understood why he lied to begin with as if no one would know...
One thing that has been a staple in hip hop is that no matter who u r..keep it real...this is why people accept kanye because he has never tried to be something he is not...
I think if anything..ross' image has taken a major blow..and has loss some credibility.
