2009: Year of the Three Headed Monster?
If I had to call it, I would say, based on the music I've heard so far, that the reign of the Interscope/Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit dynasty is over but you can never count these guys out, right? Check out the tracks below and you tell me though:
Eminem feat. Dr. Dre & 50 cent "Crack a Bottle" [imeem stream]
Dr. Dre feat 50 cent & R-Kelly "Untitled" (from Detox) [play via this Sha Money XL link]
50 cent - "Play this on the radio" [via Vicki]
50 cent "Heartless Monster" [imeem stream]
50 cent "I Get It In" (prod. Dr. Dre) [zshare via Rizoh]
50 Cent - "N-gga, I’ll Hurt You" [zshare via 2DopeBoyz]
50 cent - "In God We Trust" [4share stream/download link via 5StarHipHop.com]
Lloyd Banks - "Don’t Come Around" [Sharebee link via OnSMASH]
Honestly, the best 50 cent/G-Unit-style record I've heard recently was actually done by Juelz Santana and Una Kasa although I do have to admit that the Lloyd Banks track is not bad and his mixtape is really good and I'm not even really much of a Banks fan!
Re: this whole Three Headed Monster bizness, sympathies go out to my dude Smijj who was running with that name well before Curtis, Andre and Marshall decided to bogart it.
