Have you ever worked with someone who would come in to work and say some stupid sh*t like “Don’t expect me to work today! ‘Cause I aint doing no work!” Or what about the guy/girl at who is labeled the outrageous complainer? This person can’t seem to do anything without crying like a baby first?
Needless to say, that’s a mess. Unfortunately, it seems like we have a few of these types of people amidst our presence in the music industry, and one sticks out like a sore thumb in my mind.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. I swear it’s like every week, this man finds five things to be mad at. Is this negro ever happy with anything? I’d hate to imagine him as the type of man that would walk into an elevator “gangsta-like” as women, black and white, begin holding their purses and shivering nervously. So that I can prove one of my points, lets take a moment to reflect on the most recent zany adventures of Curtis Jackson:
On Jay-Z & Diddy: “Nah, I don’t even like them”
On MTV’s rap list: They don’t even exist outside the U.S. [Well, I was actually mad that the Game made #3 on MTV’s rap list my damn self. But still, 50 should KNOW that he can’t be faded! Where is the confidence?]
On his “boss”: "@#*$%s think Jimmy Iovine my boss, #*$%, @#*$ Jimmy Iovine.”[check out the mixtape at SOHH.com]
On Kanye West: I’m “retiring” if he sells more albums than I do.
On the leak of his next music video featuring Robin Thicke: “smash” goes the blackberry; “clang clang” goes the sound of the plasma TV as it hits the floor. “crash” goes the window.
The list goes on.
While I side with Fiddy in many of the reasons why he is so angry, there are a few of them that I just can’t even pretend to agree with. But regardless of what others think, 50 Cent has done extremely well. He’s a phenomenal businessman, period.
But what I want to see Fiddy do is bring Hip Hop back, or forth, rather. I want to see him take Hip Hop beyond shaking in the club, to the phenomenal force it once was. I feel that he has the potential to make the music more profound and almost cult like. He has the potential to give the O’Reileys and others like him something to really fear--a black man with a socio-political agenda. You see how people are already attacking Obama, right?
Now, if only Curtis Jackson could find a way to put something like that on his weekly s**t- I- need-to-be-mad-at list. Hmmm…
