Alright Curtis Jackson, Cut The SH*T!!!

Boo hoo, my name is Curtis Jackson and my label won’t push my subpar material. Boo hoo, my name is Curtis Jackson and my ONCE mentor Dr. Dre has some cool headphones, didn’t incorporate me and now I’m going to make my own and bite the hand that feeds me in the process. Boo hoo my name is Curtis Jackson and I just can’t get it together! What the FUCK, FIF?

Contrary to popular belief, and I know this may sound extremely strange, but you’re NOT always going to be the center of attention. I know man, it sucks..I hate not being the center of attention, but you know what? We GET OVER IT. What’s this I hear you’re going to leak Dr. Dre’s new single because he wouldn’t get the monster that is Interscope behind your Black Magic album? Nigga WHAT? What kind of name for an album is that anyway?

What’s going on with you? Is this a Lloyd Banks thing? Are you aggie your understudy got busy over the past 24 months WITHOUT your assistance? That he went and got Yeezy on a record and dominated the charts? Oh I know you remember Mr. West. Yeah, that’s the guy you SWORE wouldn’t beat you in album sales and he did without blinking. I digress.

I remember hearing you say in an interview that you didn’t come to HOT 97′s Summer Jam because you didn’t want to be the “featured artist?” Ummm Curtis, that’s not always a BAD thing. It’s called “BUILDING YOUR BUZZ BACK UP.” So what you don’t have a “RECORD” out, appearing on a platform like THAT might introduce you back to the masses since you’re presence is pretty much obsolete right now.

Curtis, is there something going on that we need to know about? I mean for GODSAKE’S The GAME has a release date! Jayceon Taylor! Butterfly tattoo! Once he gets hold of this news, he’s going to create a mixtape solely around THIS topic. That’s what you need for motivation? Mr. Taylor dissing you? Damn homey, in 2003 you were th….dah nevermind, I’m sure you know how the saying goes.

And then you go off and sign with Shawty Lo? The hell you going to do for him? Not for nothing, but artist who isn’t THAT relevant linking with another artist who is struggling for relevancy? That aint tight, dog (WHAD UP, MIKE!) Now you got L.O.s career in your hands and you can’t even get YOUR label to back your product. Nigga, you couldn’t revive the career of hip-hop titans Mobb Deep and M.O.P. what in the SWEET BABY BLUE EYED JESUS are YOU going to do for an ATL rapper? You better rethink some things my G.

Oh and if you think leaking your mentor’s single is going to speed up ANY process of you getting a release date or any kind of support from Interscope? Oh man you’re sadly mistaken. That building, westcoast and eastcoast are currently clearing out ANY promotional products and ideas they once had for you. Cmon man, don’t go out like this. It’s gut wrenching brother.

Fam, remember when you used to get on these niggaz instrumentals and completely destroy shit? I’m talking them freestyles Flex used to go NUTS for on HOT 97 with. When’s the last time you actually got busy over someones beat and talked that SHIT? That wasn’t fun to you? Maybe I care to much. Maybe I just want to see all my favorites propser. Maybe I should just chill, go pick up my shirt from the cleaners and make my way to the big apple. Fuck it, that’s what I’ll do. You ain’t gonna listen anyway lol.

Oh, remember those two dudes you came up with? I know you do. Remember when you guys did THIS and a couple years ago you did THIS? Like, SON!?!? Man nevermind, my oatmeal’s ready.

Oh and Mr. Weiss fired back, but I’m sure you knew that already.

Sincerely

Low “Get your shit TOGETHER, FIF” Key

Jones x Meek x Fred? I see Jones reached back in for some young blood. Not mad. This slithered on to the nets a couple days but it was a radio rip. Here’s the NO DJ version to the track.
