All jokes aside I actually liked 50's verse. It was a short verse but still vintage aggressive content, shyt talking 50.

The bigger issue is that his voice sounds like he recorded the song like this

He brought back the Forever King victim, stick em flow. 14 years that shyt was marinating:wow:

Victim? Pick em. Knife work, stick em
Chrome Colt, pop em. Hollow tip, drop em
It won't be long fore you're going dying now, watch em




From that to this:

In the zone. Victim. Stick em
Get em, book em, good you got em
Glad you took em
...
Ratpack em, jump em, gun butt em, lump em
He fighting back? Slump em
This shyt ain't bout nothin

A lot of Nas fans…man…whatever they say just go with the opposite and you’ll be alright. If they say something is hot that shyt ass, if they don’t like something it’s pretty fire. Etc… Not all, but a nice percentage of them/us be on bullshyt. I found absolutely nothing wrong with 50s verse, it’s a regular 50 verse lol. Maybe because it’s on there with a Nas verse it makes it sound worse? Haha, that’s possible I guess. To me he was actually trying to sound like Today with the slang and all that young shyt, that’s the only part I didn’t like
The verse was terrible man, there was no explanation needed. It was so bad that I wish Tony Yayo had his own verse and ad-libs instead.

I think the overarching problem and main complaint is his verse is way too short. He promoted this shyt like it was a new series he got coming out, 😂 (salute to him for that), then it drops and we get what? 6 bars? Or was it 8? Lol, I don’t even remember. Song is fire tho, Nas is talking “tough” for the most part so 50 wanted to match that energy…best part is him talking shyt…I wouldn’t have minded if he just talked shyt for 16 bars. It would have fit because Nas saluted him in his verse “My trajectory is everlastin like Curtis Jackson”. Ain’t even need a verse.

50 is not a good rapper even when he’s at his maximum level lol…his highest high is barely Nas’s basement. I don’t know what you were expecting but 🫡, lol. Song hard to me
