Bells of War.GZA and The Wu Tang Clan declare war on 50 cent and G Unit.

By now everyone has heard the recent direct attack on New York G unit boss 50 cent.While the past disagreements with Ghostface was more on a street level,this seems to directed at a genre.The GZA attacked Soldja boy and what he sees as weak fake hip hop.This has been brewing for some time now.I think this is unfair to 50 cent to be lumped into the same category as some of these rappers.50 has skill and talent,he makes good music.The tragedy of the Wu is that they stayed real to their original fans,they didn't sell out.They could have went the Nas route and make gimmick shock records for the suburban market but they are still the same as they were 14 years ago.They will live forever in the hearts and minds of hip hop fans all over the world.Future hip hop artist will one day rebirth this art form and the Wu will give them something to build upon.Both 50 and Wu are needed now to restore order to hip hop.The Wu on lyrics and 50 cent on the streets.The Wu are as real as it gets so is 50.He should have signed some of them.I think it is the 5% teachings laced in their songs is why the mainstream wont embrace them.The key to selling records to White America is to make the lyrics White friendly and non militant.The age should not be an issue the oldest Wu is GZA at 39 seven years 50 cent senior.This is the first time as a group the Wu Tang Clan challenged another major hip hop act.Something they should have done years ago and hip hop would be different right now.I think with the internet,you tube,blogs,and songs this could bring hip hop back to life.Above are 7 videos Wu Tang Clan-Cold world-Triumph-reunited-can it be all so simple G unit On fire,Many Men, Patiently waiting.

Sci my friend I think you are jumping to conclusions with me.I don't have a favorite rapper as far as the music right now.I came up with Rakim,Kane,KRSONE,RunDMC,LL Cool J so none of these rappers impress me.My problem with Nas is just listen to his last interview,he's always high and he says thing to appeal to the'dumb nigga'in all of us.One time he came to Va and got on the local radio and made an ass out of himself.He said yo man this Nas yo Im SITTING HERE GETTING SMOKED OUT WITH DJ ?CANT REMEMBER SO YALL PULL THEM BLUNTS OUT.Now this was not said at 2am in the morning this was said in the heart of the day when kids were listening.You see do you want to know why 50 has the largest following? check out his website He project intelligence.He connect with people on a higher level,its almost like he his not even a rapper anymore.He knows that he transend hip hop thats why people like him.Most of these rappers go out of their way to be hood or keep it real.How many would say f@#$ the hood I don't want to be their neither do anyone else?Only he has the balls to say that and even for me someone who cant stand this garbage music will listen for awhile.

I never said Nas made a song called Thug love.I said he is always preaching thug love and getting dissed by the same thugs he claims to represent.Let him go to QB in his whips and live to tell about it.About KRS ONE he is great but look where his career ended up.He has a habit of talking out of two sides of his mouth also,haven't you caught that?Fox news a while back him back peddling on comments about WTC/911?

Hol up fam, hol up!!!!!.....WTF is this business bout M.E. Dyson?!?!?

Who was one of the ONLY EDUCATED WELL ESTABLISHED BROTHERS to stand up for Hip Hop and Hip Hoppers when we were under attack???...When the powers that be tried to ban the use of certain words......Eff that I saw the C-Span and I was in awwww.....He doesnt know what he's talkin about??? He doesnt know about Hip Hop???......Yo who is this dude with these screwed up ideas???>...
I will personally go to bat for that dude...you know why???...Cuz he personally went to bat for ME AND MINE!!!>.......
Yo......somebody tell this man something...Seems like the only cat who doesnt know what he's talkin bout is you!.....
I'm sick of this self-righteous bullshit in the Hip Hop community...And I'll bet you'd be the first cat to say "We need to Stick Together in order to make Hip Hop something bigger", and at the same time you're shooting down everything and everyone that has the nuts to stand behind us!
SMH!
Somebody tell this cat to put on his Bill Cosby sweater, stuff his pipe and watch today's episode of Oprah...you know he put that on his DVR....
*throwin my qwerty board in the pits of hell and stomping out!"

Wu got problems within their own circle. They should handle that first.

I agree with Ritchie!.....The Wu has so many issues internally that their focus needs and needed to be on THOSE before they attempted to drop a next album or even attack the cat that "runs New York"...Mr. Punk Ass Fif...
Now when it comes to sellin out, I'm really sick o cats sayin that NAS is a sellout!....Where is there a rule that states that just because you see the pain and suffering in the hood 2 day and you speak on iut that you can't get mad and wnat to splash sumbody's head on the pavement??....This is what we go thru people...Let's keep it 100!!.....Sometimes you wanna hurt soimebody BECAUSE you are suffering....Listen I am an avid fan of "God's Son", and I can see where he comes and goes and I think that he moves according to his thought process and what he is goin thru at the time!....Let's Not not get overly righteous people...The only thing that I scratch my head about as far as he is concerned is the move to DEF Jam.....I don't fully get that but I'm sure he has anexplanation for that and I as a true fan can just roll wit my man and see how this works out.....Yeah if I diodn't say it....Fuk 50 and G/Unit, and as far as the Wu tang....the crew is made of straight mic KILLAZ, they just need to make a unified move to the front of the class, do it like '93, and shut the fuk'n game down...End of Story
