Miami, FL – With Ross and 50 going back and forth taking shots at one another, there doesn’t seem to be any end to this diabolical feud that continues to escalate as the days pass. Lately, Ross has frequently been in the studio on a warpath of destruction to obliterate his opponent 50 Cent. After the G-Unit release of ‘I’m the Shooter,’ Ross went in and released a track entitled ‘Push ‘Em Over the Ledge’ which inclusive choice lyrics that Ross just so happens to be a expert at, lyrical matter. The track samples Eric B. and Rakim’s beat from the ‘Know the Ledge’ track.
Apparently more news has surfaced that Ross has now decided to dedicate a whole mixtape to the ongoing controversy that is Ross and 50. The Boss has chosen to entitle his mixtape to that of 50’s next studio LP, ‘Before I Self Destruct.’ Besides the leak tracks that have already made headlines across the net and with media outlets, other tracks are being kept under tight wraps until the official release of the mixtape. However, ThisIsCurly.com, a website dedicated to the destruction of 50 Cent, will premiere certain tracks from the tape; I wouldn’t be surprised if it is available for free download from the site within the upcoming weeks.
High level execs have recently weighed in on the Ross and 50 controversy as it has become somewhat of major news in the industry next to the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident. The two execs, Island Def Jam Chairman, Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid and Phat Farm founder and legendary Russell Simmons, recently spoke on the situation with MTV News and expressed their side on the whole matter.
This is what Reid told MTV News when asked what his thoughts were on the whole ensemble:
“I love Rick Ross, I consider 50 a friend. I don’t encourage anything that represents ignorance and nonsense. I just hope these two guys are smart enough, mature enough and rich enough that this shouldn’t last. I haven’t been following it, honestly, but Rick Ross is my artist. I support him. I support his artistic beliefs and dreams. 50 is my friend and a fellow superstar in our business. I respect him and his legacy. I hope they work it out.”
Simmons added his commentary and followed the same pattern that Reid was on as he spoke to MTV News during Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy gala in Los Angeles this past Saturday:
“If it’s like pro wrestling, if that’s how they view themselves, then its part of the entertainment. It’s not something I would advise still. I always like to play high notes. I’ve gotten older. I see that is usually where I’ve had the longest, most stable impression, doing something that’s higher and more inspired. There’s a lot of talks about the beefs that’s going on, particularly the 50 Cent [vs. Ross feud]. They’re both very talented. Neither one of them needs that to be hot. It’s always a little edgy. I worry about them. I haven’t gotten involved. I hope they settle it, and it goes away.”
At press time, both artists are on the verge of releasing their next studio album, but are still at each other’s throats. Tracks are still being released on a daily basis and tallies are still being collected. So far, Ross recently released a cartoon depicting Yayo and Banks as blatant homosexuals, while portraying 50 as a steroid user.
