We've all heard the diss track (paper plates) and seen the video of GZA calling out 50 cent and soulja boy, tellin the fans to stop listening to that bullshit and get back to the real hiphop. And honeslty i say, its about time that a rap legend like the GZA tells it straight. Because this bubblegum, monetized, autotune, album selling, rap era we seem to be stuck in needs to be put to rest.
But the main reason i wanted to write this piece, is the fact, that I'm fuckin pissed that someone like 50 cent would even dream of talking shit about the Genius. First of all please name one beef 50 won all by himself (name one)... the nigga played out. How could this man with no lyrical ability come out and talk shit about a whole clan of living legends. When as sick as it is, there would be no 50 cent if it wasn't for what the WU did to hip hop (not only on the east coast) but around the globe.
It makes me sad how the game went from being able to flow on the mic to how much money and album sales you got. The main reason being that the lyrics these days are fucking terrible
"I never fall back,
I'd rather go forward
and when I come through,
ya betta duck like howard" - lil wayne Outstanding.
It went from raw and powerful lyrics to just throwing any word in a line just to fill up a bar. And it's even more sad because kids listen to these lyrics and will defend the artists (if you can call them that) like lil wayne and 50 cent to the absolute death. Honestly if you are going to listen to rap at least listen to something that actually makes sense. Or at least to someone with a little or some skill.
I hate it when people think 50 cent is an actual MC. Because we all know 50 cent isn't a rapper. He is a business man who invested into buying a microphone. He doesnt know how to rap, he only knows how to sell a record.
"Get Rich or Die Tryin,
we thought you was hot,
Now the same nigga wanna take us to the Candy Shop,
C'mon man, what happened to the thug?,
Now you could find in the club,
him and Lloyd Banks hugging." -The Game 300 Bars and Runnin'
... FUCK YOU 50 GO HIDE BEHIND YOUR MONEY("I,I,I GET MONEY, MONEY I GOT">ruined a classic rap song btw, butchered it actually). Straight up, you got murked by fat joe, you afraid to even go near the bronx now. RZA went to 50's own hood to see him perform "how to rob" and 50 dissapeared out the back door..... I mean Game fuckin murdered you on 300 bars. And now you think you have the lyrical ability to fuck with THE MUTHAFUCKIN GZA. YOU AINT EVEN GONNA RESPOND TO HIS DISS TRACK, YOU FUCKIN PUSSY BECAUSE YOU KNOW....You tried that with jadakiss and you got CHECKMATED, so how in the hell do you think you can fuck with GZA who was one of the Fathers of Lyrical Chess?
It's your turn, make your move. Whats your follow up to Curtis gonna be?
Nas stated HipHop is dead, but how can HipHop be dead if Wu-Tang is Forever?
Just A little Sample of why he is called the Genius
"I don't give a god damn, on the shows you did,
How many rhymes you got,
or who knows you kid?
Cuz I don't know ya, therefore show me what you know,
I come sharp as a blade, and I cut you slow"- GZA Clan in Da Front
