Seattle Slim Presents The Beat-niks: I See You Jackin’ Bitch…

Real talk! If I had to do this video for my high school, it wouldn’t be pretty! Word to the nerds and the geeky!

Check out what happened to the folks 50 Cent was talking about in his famous verse from “Wanksta!”

“Damn Homey! In high school you was the man homey! What the f*ck happened to you?”

*Yawn* This is really unremarkable. It still has the usual black male rap homo-eroticism. *sigh* Somebody wake me when this cat makes an original video…..

Soulja Boy couldn’t crank himself into the #1 spot on the Billboard charts this week. The Boss spanked him……

OWNED!

Check it out:

With Magic, Springsteen’s 15th studio album and his first with the E Street Band since 2002’s The Rising, the pride of the Garden State freewheeled his way to Billboard’s peak, easily notching the eighth #1 opener of his 34-year career.

The Boss faced virtually no competition in his quest for #1, selling more than 335,000 copies of his latest during the record’s first week in stores, according to the latest SoundScan totals. The closest threat to the Boss’ chart domination, the parents of last week’s #1 LP, country trio Rascal Flatts, finished at #2 on next week’s albums sales chart, having generated sales of 167,900 (on the nose) for Still Feels Good. Following the Flatts at #3 is another new entry, Matchbox Twenty’s retrospective offering, Exile on Mainstream, which sold nearly 130,900 units.

He’s got the #1 single in the nation, but 16-year-old rapper Soulja Boy’s debut album, Souljaboytellem.com, will have to settle for #4 on next week’s top 200, thanks to sales of more than 117,000. That was one of 28 new releases to debut on the chart, and one of five to enter in the top five. R&B artist J. Holiday’s Back of My Lac’ was another, opening at #5 with 105,000 scans. Annie Lennox’s Songs of Mass Destruction is also new to this most recent chart, coming in at #9 with 78,300 copies sold.

Dropping four places to #6 this week is Keyshia Cole’s Just Like You, which scanned another 93,900 copies, cutting just in front of Kanye West’s Graduation, which slides two spots to #7 with 92,400 sold. Reba McEntire’s Reba: Duets takes the #8 slot, with sales reported at 79,600. Rounding out the top 10, with 76,600 copies sold for the week, is the soundtrack to “”High School Musical 2.” Surprisingly, 50 Cent’s Curtis has been bumped from the top 10 after just three weeks: The album sits in the #17 position, with sales of just under 50,600.

Damn Curtissssssssss!!! Damn! Maybe he’ll get more intelligence in his lyrics. Just a thought, Fifty!

Also, ummm….did anyone know that Bad Boy South’s Boyz N Da Hood released an album???? Neither did anybode else apparently.

Rappers Boyz N Da Hood return to the chart with their latest, Back Up N Da Chevy, which bows at #51 with 15,700 sold…

Well with Sean “Run Your Career Into The Ground” “Diddy” Combs at the helm, they’re lucky they sold more than 500 copies.

Many questions and concerns indeed……
This is the video for 50 Cent’s “So Serious.” I see that the budget was small on this one because it’s basically somebody with a camcorder and a flashlight. This looks like something me and my brother used to do on some “we are artful” sh-t.

But why is my dude speaking in this HORRIBLE British accent? WTF? I thought this negro was from NYC.

50 Cent cried foul during an interview with Brit magazine Uncut, stating that Kanye West’s people cheated via Soundscan.

“He’s never had a fraction of the sales 50 Cent has,” the embattled rapper told the mag.

“They could have only one scan and have it count four times. West’s entire career hasn’t sold half what I sold on my first album.”

As it stands, Kanye West has already bested “Fiddy” in the UK and is expected to lead in the US by 200,000 sales. Preliminary numbers place West at 800,000 sold and 50 Cent at 600,000.

Whatever! I just wish both of these broads would shut the hell up. I haven’t heard this much bitching since I was in basic training and a bunch of us were PMS’ing hardcore at the same time.

While 50 Cent may not be pleased with his sales right now versus Kanye’s, the reality is neither of them have much cause to rejoice when it comes to the bigger picture. This Reuters article on Yahoo talks about how hip-hop is basically dying before our eyes and may go the way of disco.

Rapper 50 Cent has pledged to retire if Kanye West’s new album outsells his, generating much-needed publicity for a flagging musical genre that may go the way of disco.

Like the hyperbole of rap itself, 50 Cent’s promise was a joke. But with both superstars expected to post weaker sales than their last releases, industry insiders say hip-hop needs new artists if it is to maintain its recent dominance.

“This is the most talked about and anticipated single release day in memory. I certainly can’t remember one this big,” said Jonathan Cohen, Billboard magazine senior editor. “They have been ubiquitous.”

Both albums were released on Tuesday and the first sales figures are due Sunday at midnight. Billboard said three major record labels, which it did not name, projected a first week win by West.

Billboard said West’s “Graduation” was forecast to sell between 575,000 and 700,000 copies — in stores and digitally. 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, would likely move between 500,000 and 600,000 copies of “Curtis,” it said.

In 2005, 50 Cent’s “The Massacre” sold 1.14 million during its first week of release, while West’s “Late Registration” sold 860,000 copies in its first week, according to Billboard.

The rappers’ forecast diminished first week sales come amid a 31 percent slump in sales of rap music so far this year in a music industry where sales have fallen 15 percent.

If I were the two of them, I’d be concentrating on keeping afloat with the next album. I’m wondering if it will be like Craig Mack said: “You won’t be around next year…..”

This is from a video blogger Jay Smooth at XXL. And basically he’s on point. I’m sorry. I can’t wrap my mind around spending money on two men who are just really f*cked up human beings. That’s like me buying President Bush’s album ONLY because Timbaland produced it. I mean….he sucks as a person right? So why would I spend money on that guy? Same thing goes for Kanye and 50 Cent as far as I am concerned. Check it out!
Personally buying $18 worth of double cheeseburgers at McDonald’s is more worth it.

My dream isn’t to interview George Bush or Prince William or even Tavis Smiley or Cornel West. No! Those are whack interviews. If you want a real good interview with an articulate speaker who makes sense, you need a little Pimp C in your life!!!

Such nuggets of wisdom on……….

Having protected sex?

You’ve conducted some interviews recently that expressed some pretty offensive opinions, but you only apologized for your “Atlanta ain’t the South” statement. Any other apologies you wanna make?
Let me say this: That statement about Russell Simmons had nothing to do with his sexual orientation. It had more to do with a disagreement [we had]. I don’t know if the man likes Martians, squirrels or whatever, so I ain’t gonna speak on something that I didn’t see. It’s no gay-bashing with me. It’s just, be proud of what you are, instead of hidin’ in the closet. And if ya fuck boys in the ass, then don’t be tryna fuck with the girls, too, poisoning the pussy population wit’ ya shitty ol’ dirty-ass dick.

On who’s real in rap and who’s not….

Do you ever feel any compassion for Bun B, for being in a group with a man like yourself, who is unfiltered and can be bullheaded in his ways?
You been programmed to think I’m bullheaded. I just know what the fuck goin’ on. I know who’s a faggot (Let me guess Ne-yo? T.I? KANYE? I need answers! I know! Souljah Boy?????), I know who lettin’ them girls fuck ’em in the ass with them dildos (Oh that’s 50 Cent for SURE!!!), I know who really sold dope (Ummm NONE OF ‘EM *lol), I know who didn’t (Jeezy for sure!). I be in Houston. The only nigga I see [in Houston] goin’ to the mall by himself is Slim Thug. Other niggas, when I see ’em, they got bodyguards around ’em. How you gonna be scared of the neighborhood you supposed to be reppin’? All them [Houston rappers] that think they stars, guess what, bitch? Ain’t no stars down here. Only stars is in the muthafuckin’ sky!

Ah low expectations! See it’s evident that these bogus rappers these days expect most rap consumers to be dumb, deaf and just plain ignorant. That’s how they make money. Sh-t if they felt that cats expected INTELLIGENT, WELL-WRITTEN LYRICS there would be no Yung Joc, Jeezy, J-Kwon, Souljah Boy, Hurricane Chris, 50 Cent would have to step his game up (WHY DO YOU THINK it took him so LONG to get a record deal????), Rasheeda, all these mediocre rappers…..

So it’s no surprise that he went at Nas (who will destroy that dude lyrically if he wants to) for calling dumb rappers out.

……Fif takes some unexpected shots at God’s Son in an interview with the LA Times. “Hip-Hop ain’t dead. That’s just coming from an artist that’s dead.” Fifty said in response to Nas’ hip-hop is dead mantra. “Hip-Hop being what it was in his era - the 2Pac/Nas/Biggie/Jay-Z era - is dead. Right now [fans] don’t want to hear that nonsense.” 50 then went on to say, “Those guys that flood their music with too much intellectual information don’t sell. You could be so creative that you just got a smock and a French accent!”

LOL! Look at this guy. Maybe if he would’ve tried more “intellectual” lyrics, his album MIGHT have stood a chance against Kanye.

This guy doesn’t want cats to smarten up. IF they did, he’d be broke AGAIN.

I’m not buying either of their albums and I really don’t care personally but it’s one of the most overhyped stories right now.

Apparently 50 Cent couldn’t be saved by Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake or Timbaland because Kanye West’s “Graduation” seems to be leading his latest opus “Curtis” by 200,000.

“… Graduation still sound like a logical step forward. Yet Curtis sounds like Fiddy is standing in place … Fiddy’s outsized cockiness sounds like a comfortable artist repeating himself, afraid to tinker with his winning formulas.”

Ryan Dombal, from Pitchfork, gave Fiddy just 4.9 stars out of 10.

“in direct opposition to Kanye’s fearless, risk-taking, Graduation, 50’s new album is a blatant rehash - a bottom-line sequel that insults the same audience it mildlessly panders to.”

Respected sie HiphopDX said: “50 cent may be a superstar, but Curtis is pedestrian.”

But critics heaped praise on West’s Graduation.

Rolling Stone gave the album 4.5 stars out of five, saying: “This is an album that you first like, then love.”

HiphopDX echoed the sentiment.

“Kanye has created another must-have album that will continuously bump on your CD players and mp3’s for months to come.”

If anyone is still willing to take me up on my bet then come on with it!
