Right now, I'm listening to the new G-Unit album, Terminate on Site/Sight. This is odd to say the least because after the travesties of Curtis, Massacre, and whatever failure of an album Banks released, I pretty much gave up on seeing good music coming out of the G-unit camp.
TOS, however, has produced a glimmer on the horizon. I once again feel like the Unit can produce a solid album of bangers, which while not greatly lyrical provide a good balance of swagger, gun talk, punch lines, and general entertainment.
But, I'm being generous. The version of TOS I'm listening to is 98% Yayo free. The only times that you are forced to suffer Yayo's voice are ad-libs and choruses. No more terrible punchlines, terrible flows, or general wackness. It makes TOS a pretty decent album.
I first heard about the existence of a Yayo free TOS in MuzikSupremacy's IRC, after i had downloaded 2 tracks off TOS and said that I would probably DL the album, had Yayo not been on it. Lo and behold the heavens parted and a link to a yayoless album descended to my web browser. Well someone gave me a link.
As I play the album, I wonder, what would drive a person to edit a rappers verses out of an album. Yayo is a wack rapper, but, what would possess someone to sit down and edit out each of his verses.
I feel like this is indeed a testament to the level of wackness in which Yayo lies. Someone went through the trouble of editing out his verses. They, rather than not dl the album or just skipping his verses, created a monument to how bad a rapper he is, and then proceeded to distribute it.
I sincerely hope that in an interview someone asks his opinion on the Yayo free album. Hopefully it will enlighten him to how little the general public likes his rap and he'll become to 50c what Farnsworth Bentley was to diddy.
It's only right after all that 50 has done for him.
