August 23, 2007Ti, Diddy, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Kanye West On Stage Together Last Night![]() At last night's Screamfest. A great moment in hip-hop? If you haven't seen it go here and here. Contrary to Ian's assertion, I can't say that missing this makes me want to Sean Kingston myself, but it's damn sure refreshing to see. I love the smile on 50's face. As much as he always talks like it's all about the money, and as much as I might loathe half the stuff he puts out, you can't tell me 50 Cent doesn't love hip-hop. I wish he felt more comfortable with expressing that and showing it in his work. Posted by jsmooth995 at August 23, 2007 4:37 PMComments
this is what concerts should be like..... Posted by: trusouth at August 23, 2007 5:28 PM This is something I would've liked to have seen! Posted by: Cool Mike at August 23, 2007 5:47 PM Smooth, They like money. All of them dudes is pop guys. And they sold and continue to sell us into slavery. Now, you got me hype. I'm goin' to get the Keef Murray/Beef Curry album. A Rap Murr Phobia. I hope it's on vinyl. -Black People Posted by: Black People at August 23, 2007 7:08 PM Yeah, in this picture I don't see hip hop I see, cocaine. Posted by: johnnyUnitus at August 23, 2007 7:58 PM ah, nose bleeds. they sure do look happy. i guess it doesn't matter why. they also look like they spend a LOT of time in front of the mirror being impressed and trying to make up for some personality issues. good luck to 'em. live show wak is always better than the same on video. Posted by: Tiny Tyrant at August 23, 2007 9:21 PM I gotta disagree BP.. I mean obviously 50 puts his love for money first and foremost, and obviously his art suffers for it, and obviously that mindset is one of the main things that's f**king up hip-hop in general.. But when I hear him throwing Rakim tributes in his rhymes knowing full well his core audience won't get it, when I see how much he looked like a giddy schoolkid sitting next to KRS-One on 106th and Park, there's no way you can convince me that 50, or at least a part of 50, doesn't love hip-hop. Posted by: Jay Smooth at August 23, 2007 9:28 PM Ok. You know I'm anti goin' back and forth. So, I hear you, Smooth. -Black People Posted by: Black People at August 23, 2007 10:07 PM lol at TI calling Puff, Uncle Diddy. Posted by: Eat My Shorts at August 24, 2007 5:06 AM Guys, I was there and I'm telling you that the good vibes and positivity coming off the stage from all these guys being on there together was genuine and amazing to see/feel. Even if it was for just one moment on one night, you could see how much bigger and better hip hop would be if these guys dropped the fake/petty beefs and came togther like this creatively & professionally more often. I. Posted by: ian at August 24, 2007 9:24 AM Presumably, the reason people care about these guys in the first place is the music they made/make. I say let them be judged by their music, not what they look like or how they behave. Posted by: eric at August 24, 2007 5:47 PM i agree with eric. Posted by: trusouth at August 25, 2007 2:24 PM That was freakin awesome! But I love u with all my heart *T.I*. I wish I could be their with u because u r so cute and so popular!!!!!!! P.S I WILL NEVER FORGET ABOUT U!!!! Posted by: Lizbeth at August 25, 2007 3:19 PM To The Gang Of Fellas On The Stage...I didn't attend the concert, but I hear that everyone one was suitably impressed. Which does not impress me, but I'm sure you "had it goin' on," relative to your perspective. The question a mature man asks is, where is it going. Truly it looked a mess to me, but however, if that's how you guys make money, "more power to you." I realize, that your wild antics cannot be curbed, but perhaps a modicum of restraint is in order. You should consider that there are impressionable "young" minds which can, and do, consider you to be examples of socially appropriate behavior. None of us responsible role models wants anyone to get into trouble consequent to our example. Gentlemen, "A Word To The Wise Is Sufficient," so hopefully you will moderate your activities according to a new and decent rule of order...Your Brother.....CHARLES THOMAS MITCHELL Posted by: CHARLES MITCHELL at August 26, 2007 3:50 AM this s**t is good for hip hop .
