Answer records have been a part of Hip-Hop since the very beginning. When Supernature (before they became Salt N Pepa) took aim at Doug and Rick with “Show Stopper.” Everyone took notice. Ditto the Roxanne wars between UTFO, The Real Roxanne and Roxanne Shante. Rakim even got back at Janet Jackson for “What Have you Done For Me Lately” (Must have got her too hot and burned off her wings). When Cee-Lo dropped the latest ode to dudes that have snatched other dude’s girls and overall anti hater anthem “Fuck You.” It didn’t take someone long to answer back in similar video format. Didn’t know that answer would come from 50 Cent.
50 takes the perspective of the guy riding in the Ferrari with your ex chick. It’s not his fault that you have short arms and deep pockets or that you’re probably lame in the first place. That’s why you’re on the curb throwing up fingers at him while he’s fingering your girl. It’s not his fault he’s been blessed with largess. You have no one to blame but yourself for getting out of your league with the gold digger. Hey it ain’t tricking if you got it, right? If you don’t keep your game tight, 50’s going to snatch her from under your wing.
50 keeps his tone very mild and flows precisely with the beat and keeps in line with the general delivery of Cee-lo. It’s the kind of lighthearted non mean spirited 50 that people grew to root for and miles away from the belligerent bullying that has lowered his esteem. Even enemy Rauce tweeted (then deleted) his approval of 50’s rendition. Maybe if he gets back to his old fun loving self to balance the hardcore stuff, besides looking for fights, he can get back to the top. Anyway, well done. Hearing Cee-lo bemoan his freshly snatched heifer after 50’s intro is unintentional comedy. And if you don’t like it…
