Would a 50 x Eminem Collabo Suck Twice As Bad?
Trolling over at ThisIs50, I came across this post that I’m sure will have the raposphere atwitter in anticipation:
“We haven’t [seriously] discussed making an album together, ’cause we would have to sit collectively and create each song,” he said. “Unless we was doing something where half of it was his and half of it was mine. And conceptually, maybe if he came up with the first six songs and I built the last six songs and we just featured on each other’s records, you know what I mean? We’d do that in a heartbeat.”
My first thought, of course, would be a remake of the classic McCartney/MJ classic, “The Girl B*tch Is Mine”, but I’m sure these two had other, darker ideas in mind. Besides the fact that 50 still continues to be Eminem’s biggest groupie – and he would undoubtedly be down to grab the album – I’m not 100% sure who exactly else would be checking for this record.
Yeah, it would go plat off their name alone (gotta love that Wal-mart distribution push), but in terms of creating a classic album, I think The Fugees have a better chance at coming together in the studio to drop a gem on ‘em.
I’m fairly fearful of an entire album filled with nothing but variations of “Crack A Bottle”. To wipe your mind’s eye of this prospect, here is my Top 5 *ahem* artists I would rather see Eminem do an album with than 50 Cent:
-
Jessica Simpson
-
Soulja Boy
-
Asher Roth
-
Flo Rida
-
The Young Cons
Seriously. I tried to like War Angel. I listened to Relapse again and again and it just wouldn’t stop sucking. I can only imagine that the two together would create some kind of horrible monster album that would rampage though the streets and devour us all.




The Young Cons are so overly ignorant that I love them, in a Gucci Mane type way.
Do I see a Gucci/Con collabo in the offing? If they survived the studio session, it would have real crossover potential.
