50 Cent - Respect It Or Check It N*gga
Artist: 50 Cent
Producer: Frank Dukes
Album: Forever King Mixtape
Label: Shady/Aftermath/Interscope
Riding high off the positive response to his War Angel LP, a street release that harked back to the gritty sound that made him Eminem‘s favorite underground MC, 50 Cent is preparing to earn another round of plaudits with the release of Forever King, dedicated (nominally, at least) to the memory of Michael Jackson. Recorded this past Thursday (the day of MJ’s passing) Respect It Or Check It N*gga finds 50 talking tough to all those who would stand in his way over an old-school, sampled beat by Frank Duke. Though fans still hurting from the pop icon’s passing might find the tacked-on MJ shout-out with which 50 concludes the cut a little insulting, the track itself will doubtless be a hit with the rapper’s newly-rebuilt fanbase. Those digging 50’s recent return to form can download a copy of Forever King June 3rd, as well as picking up a copy of his long-delayed Before I Self-Destruct LP when it finally hits stores September 8th.

The linkage to the late Mr. Jackson is bullsh*t - sorry, fif. However, the record is another story. Please listen and again and tell me you didn't find that will.i.am line repeat-worthy. The street angle has always worked for this man... too bad a major label would never let him put out an album full of these records.

I didnt really like the War Angle LP, so I was never expecting to be a big fan of this track.
Lyrically 50 is decent on this. Though to be honest, I dont listen to 50 for his lyrics, I listen to tracks by 50 because of the usually dope production & the large traces of 'swagger' in his flows. I know MJ had a effect on nearly every artist making noise today, but I dont think the shout-outs were really necessary. 2.5 |

I'm not feeling this track. Fifty need some better beats to destroy, This shit, just like most the tracks he flows over, is out dated. I am not a hater.

The record was pretty dope for 50. The production jumps and 50 is pretty consistent. I could also care less about the MJ references (Bang, bang, shoot em up, and oh yeah, RIP Michael Jackson)
EPIC FAIL. It sounded like halfway through the second verse, he was channeling some "Relapse" Eminem...lol. I can give three to this. Not bad from Fif. I might download "BISD" if I feel like it...lol. |

Not a bad track from 50, its def in rotation. I agree with Z that The Micheal Jackson shout out was bullsh*t and did not fit on the record at all

this is the type of fif joint i like... unfortunately the labels push for the more mainstream radio and family-friendly stuff they can sell to the masses. i guess thats why i like his mixtapes more than his albums lately

MH you a fool ROTFL!!
@Aussie_Pride - I agree with you MJ has touched about 4-5 different generations but How you gonna make a tribute to MJ rappin about crack and the streets and all this other BS and then randomly yelling RIP MJ?!? Fif goes after Drake because his buzz isn't like yours? Why do you constantly have to mention other people just to make yourself look better? Quit destroying your legacy and make GOOD music. |

50 is back on the grind and putting out good hood music again and got me listening again. You have to remember this is just a underground record not going to make the album. 50 has some nice word play on this track and the beat yea old sounding but still knocks hard.
