Love Hate Relationship
Posted July 21st, 2005 by Court Sullivan
I believe it's 50 Cent's crew that's always repeating the mantra "hate it or love it." If they're referring to their music, unfortunately, I feel like I'm just OK with it. The beats are lightly head-bobbable, the lyrics are just catchy enough to mutter under my breath, the hook is not entirely annoying, and the delivery is usually studio smooth to my ears. In fact, I'm almost positive most of their songs were made with one thing in mind: mainstream mediocrity. This ensures the broadest range of listeners, buyers, and concert goers.
One is really left to wonder how they derived the motto "hate it or love it."
50 Cent: So, whaddya think of our show?
Court: Eh, well, I can't really say it was your best. Don't get me wrong, it was far from BAD.
50 Cent: Sooo, on a scale of 1-crunk, where would you put us at?
Court: Crunk being 10, I'd say about a 5.
50 Cent: Yo dogg, hate it or love it.
Court: I dunno man, I'm torn down the middle right now...
50 Cent: I SAID, HATE IT. OR. LOVE IT.
Court: Fine, hate it.
50 Cent: Damn! ...Lost another one to the mantra. [Turns to Eminem] Yo Em, you think it's time to rethink our PR scheme? That's like the fifth person in a row we've lost to "hate it."

Mike: Um, I dunno, I've never been a big fan of...
50: *cocks gun*
Mike: But it is a good song, yes very good, and I...I LIKE it?
50: HATE OR LOVE MUTHAFUCKA! *Gun pressed against Mike's temple*
Mike: Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God, Oh God... Ever since my ex and I broke up I promised i wouldn't throw that word around lightly is all. But I love it. i mean it, I LOVE IT!
50: Good... Who am I kidding, it's crap. You HATE IT! I used to be so hardcore, what happened to me. *points gun at own head, paces, hums Candy Shop*
Mike: No, really it's a good song, it's got a lollipop/blowjob metaphor very edgy, um very clever lyrics.
50: It's nights like these i'm glad this is a water pistol.
(note: gun to the head represents society's pressure to like music you otherwise loathe)
Yo love it dawg.
I love when you one-up my fake conversations IN MY OWN BLOG, MIKEY.
PRICK.
My turn.
50: How’d you get back here?
Nathan: I don’t know. I guess that’s not very realistic. Nice show, by the way.
50: You loved it?
Nathan: Well, I didn’t hate it, so I guess that means I had to love it. You know, I only got two choices, here. Kinda like in New Hampshire, where the state motto is Live Free or Die, I mean which would you chose?
50: Livin’ free, no doubt.
Nathan: Yeah, so I’ll take love over hate any day. Is that chick sucking you off?
50: Don’t change the subject. 50 wise to that white-boy cerebral bullshit. What I wanta know is, if you had as many choices as there are hairs on this bitch’s bobbing head, what would you say about my show?
Nathan: My favorite part was the part where you just started shooting members of the audience. That’s always good for a laugh.
50: Yeah man. I liked when that Ricky Williams looking motherfucker’s head came apart like a cantaloupe hit with a sledge.
Nathan: Blood all over the fat bitch behind him.
50: And his momma screamin, ‘why oh why!’
Nathan: Yeah. That’s the shit. You can keep that in your act for forever as far as I’m concerned.
50: Oh yeah, you stick with the classics.
No prob, Court. You can catch weird conversations every week at the end of my HARD WAY columns... except in summer when i have no time and I'm kinda doing this whole Mock column thing. SO yea but other than that. CHECK IT OUT Folks.
Nate: Who are you talking to?
Yea there should be a designated hardness inspector for all these thug rappas to see if they really all that nasty. But not me, I don't want to find out THE HARD WAY... every sunday night.
I don't know.
