Who remembers Curtis vs. Graduation

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Skinny nut-hugger jeans and kissing grown men for starters

That wasn’t until 2011 mans started wearing those type of jeans

50 would've murdered ye if he put something out like GRODT

Vividly. That backfired on 50 so bad. Graduation pushed the sound forward, was innovative, borderline classic, and sold more. 50 was the one that had the sakes battle idea too and Ye seemed like he didn’t care about it. 50 dropped an album that wasn’t as good as either of his previous 2 and I feel like that was the beginning downfall of his career.

I Get Money was a dope single though and this joint that Havoc produced was fire.

50 knew his run was over at that point. It was genius marketing and covered the cracks in his career. He had like 3 flopped singles before that album came out

i remember Rocsi shytting on Curtis

KRS shytting on Graduation

50 being mad as shyt that Kanye brought Jay out on 106

50 storming the stage at Madison Square Garden...Jay, Puff and Kanye had to just...let it slide

50 saying he was gone retire if he took an L then juelzing about worldwide sales

Graduation...timeless

Curtis.......but i got Still Kill out of it

Also Jay Z going on radio "no ones scared of 50 Cent"

Oh yeah. Was that the album where he tried another Disco Inferno sounding joint as the single but it didn’t work?

I still think this is his best single after GRODT

He tried these with the same tired formula. 50 focused too much on sales than great music. He goes crazy over soul loops

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Graduation is ass? Hot take, it’s not my favorite Kanye album but it’s not ass

It was a Massive Letdown coming off of Late Registration with that being my Favorite Album from Kanye.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I didn't knit what Kanye was thinking kicking that old robotic futuristic George Jetson

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

50 was literally on smack dvd in 2006, and he basically knew his run was coming to an end. This beef helped his ass if anythint

You say that like GRODT isn’t a once in a lifetime album. That’s like saying Snoop would murder whoever if he put out another Doggystyle...no shyt.

 

[ManBearPig]

Curtis was soooooooo ass

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

The same day drop war. The beginning of fakkit culture replacing thug culture in hip hop. A fun time in history but hindsight 20/20 we didnt realize that this was the start of the feminization of hip hop

the end of the cartoon thug era of rap

rappers no longer having to stay in character 24/7

Idgaf honestly
I live in 2019

 

[stepbackj34spud]

[Preach Jackson]
