it did the job though, right?


Obviously he wasn't going for the most complex piece of music ever. 50 needed a hit single and Storch pretty delivered that signature sound

^^you got a poin tdot. I mean, i dont wanna argue over opinion ya know! :D

but i personally think its anoyying

But i would still stand to say that most artists fall in the trap of putting out shitty stuff once they get up. I still ike 50's mixtape stuff the best.

However i still luv in da club, etc. but they are just good tracks, whereas 50's mixtape stuff brings back memories when i listen to it. Maybe its a personal thing, but true for me. Certain artists bring memories back, and i think sometimes they loose that. I dont know if this is a quality that you can neccesarily mark on someone or blame someone for not bringin to the table, but "candy shop" will fade with time. ......where some of his mixtape stuff will remain classic, and stand the test of time.

i think you can tell when someone is just good, or if they are good and put thier soul into it, ya feel me?

peace

but that candy shop is the stupidest **** ive ever heard. I mean, i honestly wonder if dudes, once they get to the top, why thier egos cloud thier taste for good production, and quality tracks.

Good artists should stay poor, so that they dont loose the essence. :wink:

same goes for boxers, footballers, etc. u do better work when your hungry for its rewards.

dats tune, i like the instrumental. but i aint feelin the vocals. not 1 bit.
i think timba tried to do a "lean back" typa beat.

Did any of you guys see that "All Eyez On 50 Cent" special on mtv??? There was a part 1 and a part 2.

It's weird that he got shot in the mouth and now he can rap exactly like the one and only MASE!!! 8) M. Betha.!!! ha ha. "bad bad bad bad boy, you make me feel so gooooood!!!"

Who wouldn't like that "Candy Shop" song??? The beat and chorus are both soooo...i don't know. Let's just say it's catchy. "I'll take you to the Candy Shop. I'll let you lick the lollipop...something something"

I heard one 50 Cent song that sounded pretty dope. Don't know what it was called though. It had one of those classical piano beats...kind of like the "I Can" song by Nas. Not the same, but similar.

50 Cent said something about wanting to ruin the careers of people like Nas, Jadakiss, Ja-Rule, and a couple other rappers...don't remember all of them. He was like..."oh well, i got beef with ja-rule and since jadakiss and fat joe were featured on that "I'm From New York" song, then it looks to me like they're taking sides. So now I got beef with them" (NOT HIS EXACT WORDS BUT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT HE SAID)

So what you were saying about this Scott Storch guy...About him not being in videos because he's a business man and he did beats for both Ja-Rule and 50 Cent.

So does that mean that Scott Storch has been added to 50 Cent's "People I've Got Beef With" list??? hmmm... :?:

C'mon 50...

"maaaan, enough is enough/ i know that you're ghetto/ a thug and you're tough/ your posse is deep/ and when you speak it's "**** the police"/ am i to believe/ is that the way you really would be???" - Soup

I don't know man...

I guess...I don't know... pop rap???

Try listening to Ghostface Killah's "Supreme Clientele" album. At the end of the CD, it has this guy talking with like a voice muffler (it's probably either Raekwon or Ghost himself). He's all like "my name is Knuckles. N***as call me Knuckles straight up". It's some of the funniest sh*t I've ever heard. Well anyway... he says something about 50 Cent.

"Like I said 50, you a bird, and ni**az gon' see you!!!"

haha, you have to hear it for yourself.

But I watched the "All Eyez On 50 Cent" special because I just happened to turn the t.v. on at that moment in time and saw Sway sitting there while 50 went on and on about this and that and oh... I'm big, I'm bad, I'm 50 Cent, I got shot in my hand, and I got shot in the mouth and my voice changes when I rap, and I sold crack, and I want to suck my own dik like I had a rib removed...

Anybody who loves Hip-hop can see right through him.

Message to 50 Cent...

This is Hip-hop, not Thug-life and not a "drug game". We already went through that phase with Tupac and Biggie and look what happened. Where were you at that whole time??? In jail??? smoking some crack??? or maybe you were lost in the big bad "STREETS".

DAMN MAN...

I guess I can't blame you 50. Being that you're not a true-blue Hip-hop fan as Method Man would put it. And most of your fan's aren't true and blue to this sh*t either, so just keep on talking.

ahhh...I don't even know where I'm going with this. There's so many other things I can say about you but my hands are getting tired of typing.

"i know you work out/ ya chest and ya back all nice/ but the 12 guage'll have ya six pack on ice" - Jadakiss

"it seems like... a lot of ya'll mothaf**kas dun lost ya head in the streets. ya know." - DJ Premier

"...cuz now you've been exposed like a person undressed..." - GURU

"...we'll see if Puff knows what's up. Cuz he's the one gettin him drunk and f**kin his mind up..." - Jeru tha Damaja on the song "One Day"

Oh yeah... and listen to that song "A Message From Poet" by Poet produced by Premier

you'll see.

Save your money 50 Cent because you're not as dope as you think you are.

My handz can't type anymore.

By CRZ Thu Mar 17, 2005 5:59 am
Oh yeah...

I've seen Scott Storch's name on a few records, but I don't really know who he is and I don't really care about who he is or what he's done.

Sorry.

storchy did alot of roots shit too.... There single this year, dont say nothing which is probably one of my top 10 fovorite beats of all time, was done up by storch

By CRZ Sat Mar 19, 2005 11:26 pm
Well I've heard that "Don't Say Nothing" song by the Roots and I'll tell you what...

50 Cent ain't got sh*t on Black Thought as a lyracist. And it's ok if you think it's a dope beat...I ain't got no problem with that, cuz that's just you. Different people have different views on things.

A dope beat to me is something like "On and On (DJ Premier Rmx)" by Shyheim aka the Rugged Child.

I recomend that all fans of Jaylib (Jaydilla and Madlib) listen to this song.

:)

to each is own, make your shit do what it do thats all. sitting around talking about this man or that, does nothing for your pockets unless your a journalist for a magazine or something so people please stop the madness just because u have a certain aspect of how the game should be remember thats your view everybody will see it different. everybody has a favorite rapper but i have a question who the hell wants to hear 1 mc all day every day? not me, so its good thats theres a 50cent,jay'z,kanye,ghostface and all the other cats i might not know the name of. its funny how the people i hear talking about somebody whos name is known by most isnt doing a damn thing but talking. Make some moves, hustle do your thing then maybe u can have haters sitting around talking about u in a forum. When i came into production techniques i didnt think we were gonna sit around and talk about 50cent the post wasnt even about him to begin with it was about scott storch. But then again it wasnt about maybe some of his techniques, it was about do u think scott storch is dope or wack? i mean cmon who gives a flyin f---k. i bet nobody in this forum has made something that gets 1000's of radio spins all day so stop HATING!!! :D

Now why in the world would I be doing this Hip-hop sh*t to try and make money???????????????????????????????

I don't know what it was you were trying to say in that last post AXE26.

"Underground will live forever baby. We're just like roaches. Never die. Always living. And on that note, let's get back to the program."

-DJ Premier

By AXE26 Sun Mar 20, 2005 3:18 am
never said anything about making money from hip hop. i clearly said why is that everybody always wants to rate people as far as skills and all that mess because truth of the matter is if u dont like someone im pretty sure someone out there does,so to each is own. And yeah we do this music because we have love for it but whats wrong with making money from something u love? im pretty sure u dont give away catalogues of music for free or do u ?
