Opinion: 50 Cent better answer T.I. on wax now

“Morals won’t break or bend him

New Yorkers, you gon’ defend him?

This your king, huh?

He been a victim from the get-go

Murder Inc. pumped his ass full of bullet holes

Cam did him like a ho on the radio

Took losses from Rick Ross and Fat Joe (Remember that?)

Jada spanked that baby thinkin’ it’s sweet

Kanye stood up to him, made his first week a defeat

It always happened

Too much yappin’, niggas slappin’ your cheeks

So, what the fuck you think gon’ happen out here playin’ with me?

You got the right one (King!)” – T.I. – ‘The Right One’ (23.02.2026)

The tomfoolery and social media jabs won’t cut it for Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent. Not this time, no. He cannot show videotapes and spread his trolling vibes on Instagram or Twitter now. No, he got to step up and dance. Unless, he wants to silence the storm and be remembered for not doing his thing. Alas, we know the old 50 would have made a mixtape and done all sorts of shenanigans. However, that was before his liquor deal and motion picture studio in Louisiana.

Now Clifford Harris aka T.I. is showing him the way. His doing it real and dropping bars. Not just whimpering online and making attempts of going viral. No, he has already dropped a solid diss track in the “The Right One”. That one got two verses and it throws shade at Fif’s character. Even dismiss his history and legacy as a battle rapper. Like was it all gimmicks and Shady/Aftermath that brought him the fire to any beef back in the day.

We know a hungry 50 Cent can drop bars. The ones remembering the songs he produced and the wordplay in he early 2000s. Well, those times were stellar and the mixtapes before Get Rich or Die Tryin’ was epic. No one can deny that fact, even as the testing times are withering lots of the catalogue of 50.

That’s maybe why 50 Cent doesn’t dare to take the challenge and show up on a Verzus against T.I. He cannot be bothered or even try to stand up in a fair fight. 50 needs to yes-men and boost his own ego. Curtis needs to be the smartest man in the room. That’s why he cannot phantom or understand why Lloyd Banks doesn’t blindly follow his every move anymore. 50 needs the Tony Yayo’s of the world. The ones who are just a token soldier and willing to do anything to be in good graces. That’s not for everyone and we can all see it coming.

50 Cent cannot make a mediocre statement or mock T.I. over Twitter now. He got to do more… as a man and a rapper who wants respect of his peers. Well, he should step up and prove his abilities.

The last time I heard a new 50 verse was back in 2024 and as a feature on a Snoop Dogg song:

“Littlе man, dope party

Got him out the night, but the nigga got four bodiеs

Who want smoke? Nobody

Goin’ once, goin’ twice, don’t want to smoke nobody

Tell me what you know ’bout it

Strapped right now, nigga, how you want go ’bout it?

I’m not the one you lean on

The type you wanna try apply pressure to and scheme on

Pussy nigga, dream on

Run, nigga, run ’til I have to click the beam on

Red dot ya, I got ya, B.I.G. time (Woo), who shot ya?” (50 Cent on Snoop Dogg’s – ‘Gunz N Smoke, 13.12.2024).

You see what Fif did there? Well, it wasn’t much and if that’s his flex in this era. Well, T.I. will have it easy. His already proved it and asked him to the ring. Will 50 Cent show up?

Or will he do more buffoonery like he does with Jim Jones and others these days?

Since I don’t see him going to the studio or even trying to show any sort of style. I remember he had a jab at him on the “Terminate on Sight” album, but that’s plenty of years ago. Not like 50 will drop gems now. I cannot see it coming and T.I. has already showed some finesse here on “The Right One”.

Time will tell, but this isn’t the time for social media shots. No, this is the time for 50 prove his worth and drop some fire. I won’t imagine that, but it would be awesome to hear the old hungry 50. However, I doubt that will ever happen. Peace.

Opinion: J. Cole cannot rewrite history now…

“Your first shit was classic, your last shit was tragic

Your second shit put niggas to sleep, but they gassed it

Your third shit was massive and that was your prime” – J. Cole – ‘7 Minutes Drill’ (April 2024)

That J. Cole wants to be seen as GOAT and part of the Big Three is fine. It is understandable that he wants his flowers and wants to be seen as one of the best at these times. We all get that and its natural. However, the way and the manner he plays. It doesn’t work.

I have been following him since his early signing to Roc Nation. When he signed to Jay-Z and dropped Sideline Story. For years I have followed J. Cole and his a respectable character. Nevertheless, he has a tendency to sneak-diss and share the smoke, but he runs away when it becomes fire.

In the match between Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake. He pulled off after releasing the “7 Minutes Drill” and apologized for it. Deleted it from the mixtape itself too. He stepped away… and it was weak.

It was disappointing hearing these bars this month…

“I pulled the plug because I’ve seen where that was ’bout to go

They wanted blood, they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow

They see this fire in my pen and think I’m dodgin’ smoke

I wouldn’t have lost a battle, dawg, I woulda lost a bro

I woulda gained a foe, and all for what? Just to attain some mo’

Props from strangers that don’t got a clue what I been aimin’ for?” – J. Cole – ‘Port Antonio’ (October 2024).

It doesn’t make sense, but maybe the bar(s) of Kendrick is haunting him. Maybe he feels sidelined and isn’t as respected as the MVP of the Game right now. J. Cole might want to be friend with both. However, he wants to shadow-box and not take a proper stand. Nevertheless, he wants the accolades.

1. Cole isn’t taking to account how sideways he is. At one point he goes into it and plays around with it. A minute later he deletes and then months later he addresses it again. He should let this one go. This isn’t what he is and he should just accept that now. We are seeing it.

Kendrick just shows what is different between him and J. Cole. Drake fought but lost terribly. That’s why the Drake Stimulus Package isn’t working either after the battle. K. Dot depleted that and it has shown the damage after the fact.

Now, J. Cole didn’t want to battle. He didn’t want to spar and fight. J. Cole stepped aside and wanted peace. He should run Dreamville and his own career. Jermaine is better of doing just that.

1. Dot has proved how he is a different breed than these two guys. J. Cole cannot accept it. He is living in denial. Jermaine better take it easy and drop dope music. That’s all there is too it. However, Kendrick is now the King and that crown was something J. Cole didn’t wanted to fight for. He cannot return to it now and try to forge another narrative. Especially, when he tried to discredit the records of K. Dot earlier on. No, that isn’t working. Peace.
