During his recent 'beef' with Kanye West, 50 Cent apparently claimed that he would quit making music if his new album
Curtis got outsold by his rival rapper's
Graduation LP. West threw down the gauntlet with his Daft Punk-stealing, fist pumping, number one smash
'Stronger' earlier in the month, so it's time for Fiddy to put his music where his mouth is.
Fortunately for fans of the gun-shot friendly hip-hop star it doesn't look as though he will be hanging up his lyric sheets just yet. If the filthy slab of beats and macho posturing of 'Ayo Technology' is representative of
Curtis then it should sell by the bucket load. Any fears that Fiddy may have been approaching a creative standstill are allayed by this tantalising snippet from his hotly anticipated third album.
Joined by his sex-scamp, partner-in-crime Justin Timberlake, the records oozes with filth. It's not surprising to hear the working title for the tune was at one point 'Ayo Pornography'. The pair spit lyrics about an anonymous seductress who they want to "give it to", over a sultry, seductive rhythm. Fiddy is in a particular smutty mood, muttering the typically unsubtle lines: "She knows just how to move to seduce you / She's gonna do the right thing and touch the right spot / Dance in you're lap till you're ready to pop." I think you probably get the idea.
'Ayo Technology' is a swaggering, cocksure track that should see the hip-hop supremo barging his way back to the top of the hip-hop tree.
