it don't get no better
"Go, Go, Go/ 50 in the house/ Bounce/ Ya'll already know what I'm about/ The flow sounds sicka/ Over Dre drums nigga/ I ain't stupid, I see doc, then my dough come quicka" - 50 Cent, "Disco Inferno"
When I wrote "Hip-Hop's Holy Trinity," about 50's debut success as an extension of Dre and Em's success there were 2 things I didn't know at the time. One, that the piece would end up in Da Capo Best Music Writing 2004, or two, that I'd be privy to hearing material from the next project before it was even mixed down. All I got to say is that as a person dude has grown, so therefore as an artist - lyrically - he's also grown. Beats are sick of course, how could they not be with Dre at the helm, along with Scott Storch, and production even by Hi-Tek. Don't know that it'll reach Get Rich Or Die Tryin' numbers, but I can say that from what I've heard I'm quite pleased.

50 Cent bringing heat in 2005?
Well, all right. I can't wait to hear his sophomore joint.
It looks like it's going to be another interesting year in music.
Thanks for the heads up.
You are on a blogging tear. I can't keep up.
Keep it poppin'!

congrats on the accolade. i may be alone in this sentiment but i actually find him strangly attractive and a bit charming. maybe i just need a nap though.

I am actually a bit excited to hear what his new sound will be like...
You know I want you to expand on how he has grown as a person... I can't fathom it somehow...

LOL @ girlwonder. Luv the pic. I admit I got a little tired of hearing about and from him in 2004, but I'm always open to good music. I'm anxious to hear his new stuff.
