50 Cent - My Life f/ Eminem & Adam Levine

MD1990

in CDQ now

Mikeyt086

Giving it it's own thread? Ballsy move.

Sounds alright. It's going to do well obviously.

mufcboy1999

hate it, that maroon 5 fella is disgracefully bad on the hook, he doesnt need to be on this at all. Eminem seriously what is he blabbing on about at all for the best part ...

50 just needs to let rip on a track, this beat/tempo does not suit him. The video is due out tonight but i cant see this growing on me at all so boring.

floggg

It's not bad, but the Adam Levine hook is a bit corny. Could have done without it. it seems like a collaboration for the sake of it, jumping on Adam Levine's recent surge in popularity (think he's on the voice or some such in the states).

mufcboy1999

I'd agree with you. It isn't terrible by any means but tbh I just don't like it, really cannot warm to it.

50 is arguably the best hook man in hip hop excluding Nate Dogg ofcourse but he could of nailed the hook himself. I think your right in saying its just a feature for the sake of this Adam fella being popular ATM even though Iv never heard any of his stuff out side maroon 5.

They are debuting the song on the voice tonight which btw Iv never heard of until recently, some sort of xfactor show so I say.

Lastly I really feel eminem butchered it, pops on shouting like a mad man and rapping utter rubbish. I really didn't have a problem with that shouting like style on recovery but it just doesn't work here at all especially with 50s more laid back flow and the beats actual tempo.

MD1990

i like 50's flow on it good verses from
Eminem's verse is okay
Adam Levine's voice is very annoying though
i put it up in CDQ in the OP

horsebox09

I rap myself into this bubble, oh I guess it's bubble wrap, seriously, Em?

I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on Em's music now, the same recycled choppy double-time flows, shouting delivery, and most of all the EMPHASIS he puts on the corniest of lines is hard to listen to

I think Mufcbhoy nailed it, 50's flow was a nice change of pace for him, but the track is a bit of mess to me

Still better than the nicky minaj line eminem had on that bad meets evil track. Pure muck though still.

I'm actually glad I didn't listen to the song rhianna has with him ATM if this verse is anything to by.

I think he has another verse of styler greys new single too, he's gearing up for his next album the wrong way.

Literally can't get over how bad he is on this 50 track.

conor.hogan.2

It will be like relapse/recovery, it will have some good moments and some absolute horrible songs too.

I have said it before but he is starting to tip towards being a crap rapper, this and one more bad album and he is 50/50 imo.

Real Life

dont like it, i used to be a massive fan of both 50 and eminem but i cant listen to anything they have released in the past 3 years maybe more

mufcboy1999

The video is out, in fairness to 50 he does too well on it considering its a commercial single.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN4fNaUAMbA

The live performance was good imo, sounds a bit better without em's verse in fairness.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPQFivmXoSU

iluvcheese92

Oh my God, would Eminem ever switch up his intonation, every verse from him these days sounds the same. Just a load of meaningless sh*t delivered at a fast aggressive pace, with nothing thought provoking or notable provided the slightest way (yet on every new video you will see comments saying, "eminem is back!!")
it's getting old now...

MD1990

the video is great though
50's delivers some good verses

True, well it's number 1 already on the charts in the states. Its done what it needed to do as a commercial single and that's get people's attention and make them aware the albums coming.

In all it has grown on me a small bit and tbh as far as commercial singles/hip hop goes its pretty decent, nice substance behind it.

Still think em butchered it though !.

Em wasn't that bad imo
i thought his verse was ok not great
i hate the way the Maroon 5 guy sings the hook though
his voice is strange
i would have preferred anyone but him

conor.hogan.2

Just reliased what 50 said about game and buck, his voice is really hard to understand.

Still he is the 2nd best thing on this song, you know it is a terrible song when adam levine is arguable the best thing about the song.

I think your the only person to think Adam is good on the hook. 50 kills his part , the problem is exactly Adam and em.

There's nothing wrong with his voice imo anyway. I don't think it was really a diss more him eventually just saying how he feels on both his former artists. He never really replied to either muiscally when they dissed him a bit like what jigga does when his former artists try bait him out., he's had a few sly shots but never anything like 50 usually does in a beef and go all out.

He says he never wanted to damage his artists entirely , he said game has to pay him to keep the g unit logo off his album covers, so it wouldn't make sense to f*ck his money up , same goes for buck but he's in prison for a bit of a stretch.

Game being a former 50 artist is another.

Also Adam levine was not good, he was just the 2nd best thing in this song. It speaks to how bad eminem was more than anything.

mufcboy1999

how? 50 is em and dre's artist it was the same joint deal game done with dre and 50.

PrettyBoy wrote: »

Without starting a war , if we are going to discuss lets just stay on track.

To be fair either of us know if its true or not, none of us have a copy of the contract etc. 50 says he is for 5 albums, game says he's not. Geffen who game released his albums on after aftermath/gunit are also under the interscope umbrella. All we know is game has one more album to deliver to interscope , the details of the contract we will never know properly.

Game was dropped from aftermath alright but i really doubt 50 would lie about g unit records, i say it could be easily found out if he was.

50 started like that though, it is a completely different thing.

Game signed to Aftermath, look it up. He then later go put onto g-unit so as to guve g-unit a young buck of the west. He was put in the group not the label.

Game paying them to not put g-unit on the cover is beyond nonsensical.

I know that, he was on aftermath for like 2 years before 50 but couldnt write a hook to save his life so he was honestly on the verge of being dropped, you dont have to take my word for it even kurrupt said it in an interview and knocturnal.

http://www.rapbasement.com/the-game/012610-rapper-knocturnal-says-that-50-cent-saved-the-games-career-watch-here.html

"Game is from Compton, we know that, okay," Knoc said. "Game was about to get dropped from Aftermath. You hear me? And Aftermath was about to drop him, Interscope was about to drop him and 50 Cent picked him up and put hooks. The only reason why he was about to get dropped from Aftermath is because he couldn't make no hooks for his own music. So 50 Cent picked him up, you hear me? I hope you hear me. [He] made some hooks, 50 Cent made some hooks for him and put him out and sold five million records. What's wrong with that?"

It made good business sense so jimmy asked 50 could he put him in g unit and on the record label, he signed the contract and obvioulsly became a g unit artist... Look at the documentary album credits it was clearly released on aftermath/gunit... there's no denying that one what so ever its a fact. He was 50s artist no matter what way you look at it, he was under his label aswell as dre's. 50 was on all his biggest songs to date, writing most of them which game even said himself when he apoligized to him last year after denying it for years !.

Without the g unit move you would of never heard of game or at least he would be no where near who he is now, he has g unit to thank more than aftermath because thats the wave he rode in on when they were huge in the early to mid 00s.

conor.hogan.2

None of that means he was 50s artist, nevermind that he still is. Kurupt can talk, while he is a better rapper than both of them he never would have made it on Aftermath.

Kendricks album is released under topdawg/aftermath/interscope. He is not Dres artist though.

Dre/Jimmy wanted Game on g-unit to help Game and G-Unit, G-unit wanted a west coast presence. Buck from the south, Game from the west.

How would no one have heard of Game when he signed to Dre, the guy who has let go of more legends than others have even signed? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI5bV_j8tew

KL is now on dre's label, dre is his boss or at least one of them!. If your boss cant call you his artist then there's no other way to describe it, you dont have to discover an artist for him to be labelled your own.

If a manager recruits a player he is his and the clubs player, the same can be said for your record label C.E.O towards one of his artists/employees.

conor.hogan.2

No. But anyway Game left Aftermath so I don't know how 50 think Game was still signed to G-Unit.

game didnt leave aftermath he was dropped.

im right he was and still could be 50s artist. Your clearly in denial, at least about being a former 50 artist, you have to constantly defend him in fairness conor. You havnt got any proof what so ever he wasnt under g unit records while iv got proof he was so the facts talk.

Sums it up well.

Also how the hell would he be dropped from Aftermath but kept on g-unit, sounds like 50 wants it both ways. It could not be both. He was dropped because of the thing with 50, dropped entirely but stayed under the same umbrella label.

Game signed to Aftermath, was put on g-unit to help both of them and barely featured on any g-unit songs never mind an album. He was Dres artist, simple. No matter how much help he got from 50, the Documentary was coming with or without him.

who really knows? Contracts are messy messy things, look at buck 50 wont even release him but he could pay 50 to let him release it under an umbrella label like he was going to do under mmg exactly like 50 says game does with geffen... look at diddy,jay z they all do similar to there artists they've fallen out with.

we can argue all we want but the fact is he was 50s artist at some point , thats a fact the rest like i said who knows?

That is because young buck signed fully to him. Completely different things.

Game is contracted to release 5 albums to Interscope, that is the contract not contracted to 50. Obsession aside, on both Game and 50s part they have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Different terms in both contracts obviously but game was signed to aftermath/gunit/interscope... you dont know the in's and out's either do i but the man signed a contract with g unit aswell as interscope and aftermath, A 5 album deal just like the rest of them...

What aftermath and interscope do doesnt reflect what g unit records do and vice versa, banks and yayo were dropped from interscope but not g unit records... g unit as a group is still on interscope though its beyond confusing.

there's plenty of artists who are tied to all sorts of deals that involve different labels past and present.

conor.hogan.2

Game still being on g-unit when he was put onto g-unit jointly with aftermath but but then fell out with g-unit and then dropped from aftermath but somehow kept on g-unit makes no sense.

No matter what way you word it, it makes zero sense.

Like when he threatened to leak a dre song he is talking nonsense again, he has to be up there with the rapper who has had the most beefs.

How do you know what happened with dre and game? they fell out there was a problem they didnt talk for years until last year and he wasnt dropped from aftermath because of 50, if that was the case they would of never patched it up or dre wouldnt of worked with ross if he was the type who picked sides.

bottom line game signed with g unit records , now there's a very high possibility he is some what still tied in some way to that contract.

2009, not last year. They clearly fell out of the 50 thing. Game signed to aftermath you said it yourself. Not the first date/time you got wrong.

Anyway it doesn't matter, they are both obsessed with each other. It was 6+ years ago at this stage they should both let it go.

wow i got the date wrong, dont get me started on how many times you are wrong here... like comparing lamar to timbaland and calling it pop etc.

I agree both should let it go but 50 wont and i cant blame him tbh but if dre cant patch it up nobody will...

PrettyBoy

I genuinely can't believe what I'm reading. Do I really have to explain this..?

Due to his disputes with 50 Cent, Game left Aftermath Entertainment and signed with Geffen Records another label under Universal Music Group's Interscope-Geffen-A&M division to terminate his contractual obligations with G-Unit in the summer of 2006.

For claritys sake - "terminate his contractual obligations with G-Unit in the summer of 2006".

Did you actually think that Game was still signed to G-Unit Records..?? Do you honestly think Game paid 50 Cent a sum of money last year to let him release The RED Album without a little 'G-Unit' logo on the back? And the same for Doctor's Advocate and LAX? You have to be ****ing joking man.

I'm absolutely dumbfounded as to how you can believe every single, little thing that comes out of 50's mouth. It's almost unbelievable. Not to get into a war but you really have to be taking the piss this time.

jigglypuffstuff

Seriously every thread is turning into a game/50 thread. I think I can safely speak for all of the spectators of this ongoing argument over the last few years, the two of you have actually had more disagreements about game and 50 than they themselves had with each other. That alone says enough!!

Actually would it be possible to make a game/50 thread?? just so it can all stay in the one place :P

where is that from?

Its very possible , just because you refuse to believe it doesnt mean its not true... Like i said either of us will know for sure unless you happen to have a copy of his contract in front of you.

The way i see it if it was such a lie wouldnt game have gone to all measures to prove it is?

Mr. Rager

Happy Birthday Game!

This is The Game thread, right?

In fairness in this instance that buck/game line was the most interesting part of that whole song.

**** sake man I really wasn't going to say anything about it or anything about the diss in 50's new song (it is a diss) but some of the stuff you're posting is just ****ing ridiculous, I can't get my head around it like, if you really want to believe that The Game is still signed to G-Unit Records then that's that, by all means go ahead but please stop posting complete and utter ****e, '50 said Game has to pay him or else he'll have the G-unit logo on his Jesus Piece album'...****ing hell..reading the last page and a half makes of this thread makes my head hurt...I only posted for clarity's sake.

mufcboy1999

That's the best you can do? Put writing in bold lol... Iv posted 50 saying it ! Now for the last time educate yourself on how contracts work they are never ever straight forward so there is every likely hood there could be done sort of clause linking him with g unit records.

Even if game denied it I wouldn't Belive him due to his bi-polar personality , he denied for years that 50 didn't write the hate it or love song and a good majority of the documentary album only to turn around and confess when he was saying sorry to 50 on more than one occasion.

I knew you and Conor would be upset about it but like I said who knows? One things for sure though Conor he was 50s artist without a shadow of a doubt , 50 even co-produced the documentary.

No need for the cursing and getting worked up about it either.

PrettyBoy

Here's a video where 50 says he beat Floyd Mayweather in a physical fight - twice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91Pcx8b9x80

Do you believe that too? If 50 said it then it must be true :rolleyes: You believe EVERYTHING 50 says..why? It's very odd to say the least

mufcboy1999

he is clearly joking there lol...

look i know it might be a bitter pill to swallow as a hardcore fan but you dont have to jump to game's defense all the time... you have no proof it isnt true and vice versa so lets move on.

Joking? I must have missed the punchline (no pun intended) there. If you'll believe that Game is still on G-Unit Records then you'll believe that 50 got the better of the best boxer alive. 50 doesn't lie, does he?

my god i think its quite obvious he's not serious there! i honestly doubt it was a boxing match they got into either more like a scuffle if anything, 50 just said floyd punched him at the end :rolleyes:

prettyboy your not one to really talk on whats believable and what isnt in fairness, it wasnt so long ago we were arguing about the fact 50 wrote a fair share of the documentary in which you denied for game to turn around and confess 50 wrote hate it or love it etc when he was trying to get back into gunit.

Looking at the very end of the video, 50 isn't laughing, isn't joking, he's actually being quite serious talking about people pushing him too far, telling Big Boy that he's never run from anything in his life, he's always had to deal with things himself, then we hear this

Big Boy: 50, you and Floyd ever get into a fight or shoving match before?

50: Yeah, yeah.

BB: Who won that?

50: I won, every time.

BB: Every time?? How many times..?

50: Twice, we got into it.

BB: Like a real altercation?

50: Yeah.

He then goes on to say that Floyd punched him. He's saying all of this in a serious manner.

Which part was he joking about? Was it when he says there was a fight (twice), that he won or that Floyd punched him? I don't think it's "quite obvious that he's joking" ...which part made you laugh?

Jesus haha what does 50 writing hooks for an album 8 years ago have to do with anything here?? And PM me a link to where we talked about this, I'm sure we did at some point, I just can't remember defending Game vehemently, denying that 50 wrote anything? PM me a link.

Now that you mention it, Game is the one that wanted to forget about the beef with 50 and get G-Unit back together - do you really think Game would try to prevent the label from putting a G-Unit logo on the back of his album? Do you think he would pay 50 and ask him not to put a G-Unit logo there? I honestly don't think Game would have any problem with it, he wouldn't give a **** knowing him. More controversy, why not.
