Video Jabs at Jim Jones, Maino, Fabolous &amp; Dave East"},"content":{"rendered":"<div>\n<p>50 Cent returned to social media this week with a new music video for his collaboration with Max B, titled \u201cNo More Tricks, No More Tries.\u201d The visuals appear to rely heavily on artificial-intelligence effects, creating digitally rendered scenes that frame the song\u2019s confrontational tone. Throughout the clip, the artist delivers pointed lines directed at several figures he has sparred with publicly, including Jim Jones, Maino, Fabolous, and Dave East. In one sequence, a stylized image places Jones inside what looks like an interrogation room as the lyric lands: \u201cSnitching you better not.\u201d The moment reflects the track\u2019s mix of satire, commentary, and competitive bravado.<\/p>\n<p>After 50 Cent posted the video on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, audience reaction unfolded quickly. Some listeners expressed disappointment with the use of A.I. imagery and the song\u2019s approach. One critic wrote, \u201cN***a talk about how rich he is and come and deliver AI slop &#038; music slop! Stay behind the camera and off microphones homey.\u201d Another user responded with surprise, saying, \u201cDang I checked if this was a fake account three times. What happened to you 50? This is week af. This is not the same person who disrupted the industry with a diss track. I\u2019m calling Jim Carrey on this one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other fans approached the release with a lighter tone. Some pointed to moments they found humorous within the lyrics. \u201cBest part of this whole song is him telling Dave East he don\u2019t even count,\u201d one listener commented, adding laughing emojis. Another wrote, \u201cThe masses won\u2019t like this but I\u2019m not like them lol this is [fire emoji].\u201d The range of responses illustrates how quickly new music from a veteran artist can spark debate across online platforms.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Yall thought I was talking about the Cosby\u2019s.

Referencing T.I. and people around him, the rapper wrote, \u201cYall thought I was talking about the Cosby\u2019s. I\u2019ll deal with Bill later. I am the algorithm.\u201d The comment hinted at ongoing friction that has surfaced periodically in recent months.<\/p>\n<p>Some of that tension traces back to remarks made on the <em>Let\u2019s Rap About It<\/em> podcast, where hosts discussed 50 Cent\u2019s Netflix docuseries \u201cSean Combs: The Reckoning.\u201d During the conversation, Jim Jones, who appears on the show, criticized the project\u2019s tone. \u201cYou don\u2019t want nobody doing a documentary trying to make your whole character look weak. That\u2019s petty behavior \u2026 It\u2019s really not a documentary; it\u2019s more like a mockumentary,\u201d Jones said. The exchange later spilled onto social media, where both sides traded comments before the podcast crew released a freestyle titled \u201cSquatter\u2019s Rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>50 Cent returned to social media this week with a new music video for his collaboration with Max B, titled&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14044,"featured_media":3938,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[10,9],"class_list":["post-3897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-rss","tag-culture","tag-hip-hop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14044"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
