   What up Sem? Just listening to your show and you mentioning Diggy Simmons and how he is more relevant than many of the artists (apart from jay z, kanye and drake) on the east coast. You then went to go after Fabolous, 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks. I admit i’m a fan of Diggy and the whole Run’s house thing. Come on he’s jsut signed a deal had 1 good freestyle but i think your getting ahead of yourself. Come on Banks has killed it with Beamer, Benz or Bentley and the buzz around that track is crazy right now. Plus you said that he’s had 1 hit in 4 years where were you when Hunger For More went platinum alright since then he may not have been on his game with rotten apple but you heard his recent mixtapes stop hating Sem. Now come on you comparing Diggy to 50 thats just disrespectful how can you compare the 2? Diggy and most of the other new age rappers wont be able to do what 50 has combined! Plus Fabolous has a hot album i don’t understand why you going in on him.

   Sem didnt say 50 it was in my email when i asked him to name names.
   But i’ll say i think that ONE diggy is better than anything 50 has done (solo) now thats my opinion i know nearly everyone else in the world except Game, Fat Joe and Jadakiss (or anyone who disslikes 50 as much as me) will be against me.

   Lloyd Banks………At the end of the year, Diggy will be a better known rapper than Lloyd Banks, he’s already a better lyricist.

   New age artists arnt going to be able t sell as many albums as 50 did, but thats just because less people are buying albums, but new age rappers certainly can get their music into more mp3 players/car stereos than 50 did…..if you disagree with that, i got one name for you….Drake

   Alright my reply to Josh- Sem may not have said 50’s name directly but when he said Diggy was more relevant than all the artists on the east coast apart from Jay, Kanye and Drake who else do you think of when you think east coast 50 Cent!

   Now about ONE Diggy track being better than 50 period that’s just ignorant. The freestyle is dope but come on get rich or die trying is a classic everybody in the game agrees on that even though whatever he may have put out after has not been of the same standard. So you comparing a freestyle to a classic which sold over 12 million copies is crazy and on this one I think even the 50 haters will agree with me over you. I’m not even talking about the massacre which did 11 million worldwide.

   Lloyd Banks is known to be a good lyricist now the first album was a hit, the second was not too great but he’s only put 2 albums out how can you judge somebody on 2 albums as being wack. Now his mixtape game is deep go listen to a few cause I’m sure you haven’t listened to any of the recent stuff. Why can’t new age artists sell as much as 50. Wayne did a million in his 1st week even though it was leaked and if Drake doesn’t manage that with all the hype around him then he’s a failed. Btw what you think people did with all the 50 albums they bought? They must have played them somewhere?

   Get back to me Josh.

   Peace

   That east coast comment by Sem, i think it wasnt thought about, Later on in the show the other guy on the show said what about Nas, so its kinda obvious that Sem didnt think too much about that statement but it doesnt really matter i dont think many people really took it as harshly as you did.

   Yeh im being ignroant, and i realise that im *cough* (wrong) *cough* but i’ll stand by my statement just to spite 50.

   yeh wayne did a million in1 week, but his mainstream buzz was crazy huge just at the time that dropped, it was timed perfectly, and i think that wasnt on purpose it just happened. Drakes buzz has died a little not alot but a bit.
   I always buy my music but i wont be rushing out to gets drakes album, I’ll get it when i pass the shop, but my expectations arent too high.

   Ok yeh no doubt 50 done massive things and people loved his music for ages and some still do (why i dont know) im just saying other people can do it to, just record sales wont be the best way too judge it,

   and 2 albums is enough to judge someone….dam one album is enough to judge someone, people can change and get better but you can still judge them after one alubm.
   And as i would rather shout out G-Unot than G-Unit im not gonna pay much interest into anything banks does
