Rich, white men throw saddles, reigns, and masks on an animal, whip the shit out of it with a leather strap and call it a sport. It's like slavery, but better! Furthermore, we watch it. We enjoy it. We enjoy it so much that we bet on it. We win and lose hundreds, thousands of dollars on the track every race. And no, them horses ain't dieing. Not initially anyway. But you a fool if you don't think that shit ain't speeding the process up. In any event, we call that sport. Not only is it sport, it's high-class, upper-echelon sport. Somethin' real white and snooty. Its elevated to the same status as golf and tennis, on a different plateau than football, futbol, baseball, basketball, etc. But none of these dudes is killers. None of these riders is being indicted, tried, or tested. They're killing animals over the span of time, for your entertainment. And when that animal gets sick or too old to race anymore, the fuck you think they do to them? Just some food for thought. I don't agree with the way they did the dogs in, but we live in a society that's about a stone's throw away from dog fighting being legal, at which point it would surely be considered the next big thing. FOX execs are cleaning up puddles of their own drool as I type this. The system is fucked up. But what do you expect? We're a nation that finds it's roots in rape, slavery, and violence. When you shit everywhere, eventually the room where you eat is going to start to stink. Welcome to America. It's a vicious circle.[/i] An excerpt on a piece I’m writing about the Michael Vick situation:

On a different note, the music industry is not dead. In fact it's not going to die but it'll definitely go through some weird phases that you and i may not be able to envision right now. it’d suck for 50 if Ye’ beat him sales-wise.

Curtis is keeping with the persona that made him a multi-millionaire, i.e. this is my turf and you better not even think of setting up shop.....or should I say it's more like 50 saying my sleeper hold is more deadly then yours. They have been doing this since 50's "How to rob" single. Fiddy takes a jab a Jay, then Jay responds with the "I'm about a dollar, what the f#@k is 50 cent" response. At the end of the day they'll both cross paths again somewhere (like that picture that was posted here a couple of months back), drink some of that expensive ass champipple and laugh about all the money they made off of this.

Imo, and in a lot of ppl's opinions they take a major L.. Again this industry is on the brink of collapse..for them to stoop this low to pit these guys directly against each other. @ Ian: Don’t you think its a tad lame for the music industry?

This is not even a direct head-to-head competition and I know its been a while since 50 has tried to doggedly get at Jay for whatever reason. This should be interesting. However, it'd suck for 50 if Ye' beat him sales-wise. I wonder what ye' has to say in all this..
