Quotable Lyrics from sober

I say, “Brother, I’m too insane,”
They got a seizure from my chain,
I’m at Caesars Palace, bae,
I can’t even play the game,
I said, “My life a gamble, bae”

Quotable Lyrics from 40 Nights

On the album cover, I don’t like me on it,
Should’ve did the photoshoot with a shiesty on it,
Making documentaries and my life be on it,
Take the hat off my head and the price be on it

“I’m not trying to be in the way,” the G-Unit mogul expressed. “Hip-hop culture is connected to youth culture. You are not supposed to be the hottest in nothing at 60. F**k that, man… You can still sing, that’s love music… I still got love for music. I’m never going to lose that. I’ma always want to do something. And those are like entries. It’s me putting a little piece or tap something in there for them to hear that I still do it, that I still got it. I don’t need [another album]… If it doesn’t sell, you keep it to your motherf***ing self. Motherf***er’ll tell you, ‘This is a personal album. I made this for this and that.’ Then why do I hear it, b***h? Nah, man… Tie it to something and just let it go. I’ll do something for [the Paid In Full movie]… I like Skilla Baby, DaBaby. A lot of new artists, I check them out… I’m not a critic…”

50 Cent’s Jay-Z Comments

Some folks immediately took these comments as a jab at Jay-Z. While there’s nothing explicit about the remarks that connects them to Hov, 50 Cent’s past comments on Jay-Z have led fans to read between the lines. Jay turns 57 in December. Fif’s been critical of him for years regarding business and relevance, although it’s been mostly a pretty casual feud in the grand scheme of things.

Other folks reacted to this by bringing up the dominance artists like Drake have maintained for almost two decades. After them, not many young superstars have been able to fully reach those heights. So maybe the issue is more about breaking into mainstream superstardom today rather than older artists taking up space.

Elsewhere, 50 Cent is celebrating his extracurricular success and fending off trolls in the process. These could be just online casuals or longtime foes like Rick Ross.

“I caught fades with my own homies to take Nip on tour,” he remarked, as caught by CY Chels on Twitter. “But I can’t seem to get in touch with Blacc Sam to holler at him. I don’t understand it.”

Game and Hussle performed together on the former’s “LAX” tour back in 2009. They also share various collaborations over the years, such as “They Roll,” “Same Ho*s” with Ty Dolla $ign, “Welcome Home,” and “F**k A B***h” with Elijah Black and Joe Moses.

While most folks are focused on the K.Dot narrative, this Nip mention also raised eyebrows. However, it’s unclear how this comes together.

The Game & Nipsey Hussle Collab

One possible reason for this supposed animosity Game is alleging is an old collab between Nipsey Hussle and The Game. “World Tours” was supposed to be on the latter’s Drillmatic album from 2022, but Blacc Sam got it taken down because it wasn’t fully approved. Wack 100 (Game’s manager) blasted Sam for this, positing it may have to do with Sam’s issues with Wack’s criticisms of Nipsey in the past.

As such, maybe Hussle’s brother doesn’t want to talk to Game for this reason. But again, if “World Tours” is really the root, then it seems like this is more of an issue between Sam and Wack than anything else.

The Game and Nipsey Hussle’s bond is clear through their music, but it seems like other conflicts and loyalties may have tainted this legacy. Still, this is all according to the former’s claims, and we’ll see if Blacc Sam responds at any point. Maybe they can hash out any alleged differences and move forward in a more amicable, respectful place.

Black covers most of the upper, keeping the familiar Thunder look intact. Rust pink takes over the winged eyelets, mesh underlays, and sections of the tongue. That same pink also runs through parts of the midsole, tying the whole design together.

The biggest twist sits on the heel. Instead of the usual Jumpman branding, this pair features classic white Nike Air lettering instead. That’s an important difference from every past Thunder release, which have all stuck with the Jumpman on back.

It’s a small detail, but it matters to plenty of collectors. Nike Air branding tends to signal a more OG focused build, giving this pair a slightly different feel than past Thunder drops. That kind of detail can shift demand in a big way, even on a colorway that’s already expected to sell fast.

Combined with a stacked holiday lineup around it, “Pink Thunder” is shaping up as one of the season’s more talked about releases. Expect it through Nike SNKRS, Nike.com, and select Jordan Brand retailers on release day.

Air Jordan 4 “Pink Thunder”

The Thunder color blocking goes back to 2006, when it first released as part of Jordan Brand’s Lifestyle series. Black and yellow defined that original pair, becoming an instant favorite among Air Jordan 4 collectors.

Jordan has also branched the concept out over the years, adding Red Thunder in 2022 and White Thunder in 2024. Each version has kept the same black base while letting a single accent color carry the design.

“Pink Thunder” continues that pattern while adding something new to the mix. It’s the first Thunder release built specifically for women’s sizing, and the first to swap in pink instead of yellow, red, or white. That combination alone makes it stand apart from everything that’s come before it in the lineup.

“lol why the CO so quiet now,” Fif wrote about the former correctional officer, reposing media about the G-Unit Reeboks selling out. Rick Ross had clowned 50 Cent’s sneakers, and brought up his beef with T.I. in relation to his Verzuz pop-out. For those unaware, that feud supposedly stemmed largely from 50 refusing to do a battle with the Atlanta rapper.

“[A fan] agreed with me that the shoes was ugly, and they don’t know nobody that bought them,” Rozay remarked via IG, as caught by Diverse Mentality on Twitter. “But they said, ‘Rozay, you was watching Verzuz when 50 came on?’ And I thought about it. I said, ‘Wow…’ They may not know I own equity in Verzuz. Yeah, guys… So Curtis, thanks for your employment. Thanks for the pop-out. That’s why I thought Curtis wouldn’t do the Tip thing. ‘Cause he knew Rozay had a small piece of that. But he came out. He did that for free. Next time, I’ma make sure you have a [Luc] Belaire bottle, Curtis.”

50 Cent & Rick Ross Beef

“Aye, 50 Cent, why you lying telling them people you sold all them shoes?” Ross alleged. “Stop lying. You filed a $100 million bankruptcy when you sold them last time. You got an endorsement deal. Same way you don’t discuss your publishing, ’cause you don’t own no publishing. Toast to all the real hustlers. Talking about, ‘They sold out so quick.’ Ain’t no resellers selling them. Ain’t no n***as buying them shoes, y’all. Don’t go for that. N***a filed $100 million bankruptcy when them s**ts was going on.”

This is just the latest chapter in 50 Cent and Rick Ross’ long-running feud. What began as an allegedly shady look from 50 to Ross at the 2008 BET Awards devolved into business clashes, personal jabs, comparisons of success, and endless trolling attempts.

For those unaware, “The Part” also features YG, Lefty Gunplay, Mike & Keys, JasonMartin, Mark Lux, and RJMrLA. However, at press time, the track does not indicate Chike as a feature on “The Part,” at least on Spotify. Curiously, though, it does still feature his vocals, and he’s credited as a composer on the song. Apple Music seems to have the original upload intact.

Wack took to social media to post a video, caught by Ahmed/The Ears on Twitter, that accused AZ of taking the song down. The executive theorized this could be because of Chike’s feature on GNX by Kendrick Lamar, suggesting he might feel like Game is dissing K.Dot. Another theory some fans have is that the feud between YG and Drakeo The Ruler may have something to do with this as well… If AZ really did take the song down via a request and this isn’t just a misunderstanding.

Wack 100 Calls Out AZ Chike

“AZ Chike, AKA ‘A** Cheeks,’ you just pulled a weird move,” Wack 100 expressed. “You had the song with YG and Lefty Gunplay and yourself snatched down off The Documentary 3 album. Aye, bro, I’ma be real. I been told Game to replace you with Mark Lux. He way harder than you anyway. Don’t nobody really know who you are… But I think you think you was doing that for the sake of Kendrick. Kendrick don’t care who featured on Game’s album. I think you thought you was gon’ get some brownie points. You was in the studio, you did, like, eight songs. I told Game you was a**, replace you with Mark Lux. I told him. It was just an error. The wrong version got uploaded. The real version will be up in a minute.

“Y’all stay tuned,” he concluded. It’s unclear if this “real version” is the one that’s now up on streaming services.

The shoe swaps the usual leather build for a tan canvas upper. It gives the silhouette a rugged, military inspired look tied to Undefeated’s design history. Silver reflective tongues peek out from behind the laces, running down into a webbing strip toward the toe.

Branding gets a real makeover too. A red Jumpman sits layered over Undefeated’s Five Strikes logo on the tongue, while olive green embroidery covers the heel. The classic Nike Air branding also gets swapped, with “UND” replacing “Air” on the heel tab.

On the bottom, a black midsole keeps the Air Jordan 5’s signature shark tooth detailing intact. A translucent blue outsole finishes things off, adding a cooler tone against the tan upper.

This also won’t be the only Undefeated colorway either. A second Air Jordan 5 is going to release during the same window, done up in light chocolate, red, and grey. That gives the project a full two shoe drop.

Undefeated x Air Jordan 5 “Moon Fossil”

Undefeated relationship with Jordan Brand goes back over 20 years. Their first Air Jordan 4 collaboration dropped in 2005 and became one of the most respected sneakers of that
era.

That olive green colorway eventually turned into one of the biggest grails in Jordan Brand history. It stayed out of reach for most fans until finally getting a wider anniversary release last year.

This new Air Jordan 5 project marks the next chapter in that ongoing partnership. Instead of leather, Undefeated leans into canvas and worn detailing, keeping the military theme that’s defined its past Jordan work.

2 colorways are planned, along with matching apparel expected alongside launch. That has “Moon Fossil” shaping up as one of 2027’s most anticipated Jordan collabs. For Undefeated fans, it’s another shot at a brand that’s rarely handed out easy cops.

It started with 50 discussing the evolving focus of rap shifting from NYC to the South. “I’ma leave that for Ebro, ’cause he always f**k up the culture,” he remarked. The broadcaster argued the G-Unit mogul “had everybody beefing” and caused a lack of new releases, to which Fif responded to by saying he didn’t have many real friends and ran into loyalty issues. His argument was more about having to choose relationships in contentious situations, eventually setting things right.

“Don’t think I don’t like you,” 50 Cent added concerning Ebro. “I’m just telling you what you did. You really f***ed up the whole system… Who was coming and didn’t get a shot or didn’t get into a good position because I didn’t work with them?”

It seems like 50 was taking issue with which artists Ebro did or didn’t play on the radio. So while there are a lot of factors playing into both of their assessments, it seems like they both believe some distortion of loyalty and rap game camaraderie led to New York not being as hot as it once was. Still, it remains a pillar of the culture.

50 Cent & G-Unit At Verzuz

For those unaware, 50 Cent was one of various special guest at Joe and Donnell Jones’ Verzuz matchup earlier this week. He, Tony Yayo, and Uncle Murda came out to represent G-Unit. This was a pretty ironic development considering how Fif’s beef with T.I. largely stemmed from his refusal to do a Verzuz with Tip.

On the other hand, Ebro’s still dishing out hip-hop hot takes for all to enjoy. 50 Cent’s not far behind when it comes to his own view of the culture today. They may have their differences, but hashing them out on air together is nonetheless heartening.
