HonkMagazine

Jim Jones, a well known rapper from Harlem, has made it clear that he has no interest in engaging in a rap battle with 50 Cent. In an open discussion on The Breakfast Club, a popular radio show, Jones expressed his strong feelings about not wanting to compete lyrically with the famous rapper. During the interview, Jones also talked about different topics, including his complicated friendship with Cam’ron and his views on the competitive nature of rap in New York.

He reflected on the 2021 Verzuz battle between his group, Dipset, and The Lox, admitting that their lack of preparation contributed to a disappointing performance, especially when Cam’ron forgot some of his lyrics, which led to boos from the audience. The conversation took an interesting turn when DJ Envy proposed the idea of a rap battle between Jim Jones and 50 Cent. Without missing a beat, Jones firmly rejected the suggestion. He stated, “I don’t wanna do nothing with that sucka! Leave him out of the conversation. Don’t start.” This statement adds another chapter to the ongoing tension between Jones and 50 Cent.

While 50 hasn’t responded yet, he will likely react sooner or later. Over the years, the two have exchanged insults through interviews, social media, and music. In the competitive world of New York hip-hop, Jones believes he ranks among the best. He confidently claimed that not many other rappers from the city could outshine him when it comes to lyrics. Jim Jones is staying away from any talk of battling 50 Cent, clearly shutting down the idea of giving him any spotlight.

BuYufu turns the symptoms of love into a soul-filled dance with “Side Effects May Include”

Yufu

In “Side Effects May Include,” BuYufu has made the irrational symptoms of hopelessly falling in love playful and highly musical. Love’s a hell of a drug, and it has some weird side effects. Missed calls, dancing on the spot, and acting completely out of character. It’s a simple idea, but the track really brings it to life.

It’s written as a song for a 70s soul club performance, influenced by crossover soul, northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul. Horns, strings, shuffle guitar, Latin percussion, Hammond organ, and an active drum break surround the song’s central feeling. The arrangement keeps the song feeling lively, but the vintage influence is very clear.

“Side Effects May Include,” has subtle callbacks for those who have been following the project. This connection gives the song a sense of finality. It’s warm, raw, and deliberately human in its subject matter, capturing the odd thrill of love while showing how an old-school soul feeling can still speak naturally to the present.
