With the release and collapse of 50 Cents second album…. umm I can’t even remember the name; he has been lashing out on everyone, looking for a reason it sucked. Whether its blaming the hand that fed him, Dr. Dre, for not giving him enough studio time with his mastery, his own crew The Game for stealing some of his Gangsta market share, or the pop music landscape in general. After stating a few months back that everyone wanted a more “non-confrontational” artist, and the (liberal) media just picked Mr. West to fit the bill. Allow me to editorialize these charges against ‘Ye, Kanye’s album is good, filled with good music, from one of the best producers in the business, himself. While Fitty’s record comes off as sounding ‘ohh soo 2002′ with interchangeable lyrics from previous albums, see Candy Stick or was it Magic Shop, eh I can’t remember.

Anyway it appears 50 is grabbing headlines again he is now saying he disagrees with Kanye’s “Bush wants to kill all black people” comment, which I may or may not be misquoting. I’m glad he pondered this one for a good 2 months, you don’t want to come off as sounding like an idiot when talking about something as prickly as politics, but for a “gansta rappa” to be defending a republican president, just seems kind of screwed up. I’d also like to mention Mr. Cent’s new movie is coming out soon, I’m sure that is completely unrelated to the timeliness of his comments.
