some people are saying this looks fabricated... and i really don't blame people for thinking that, with what happened w/ Puff, etc.
However.... look back at the interviews with Cam and with Styles. The only reason Cam was on the phone was because the CEO of Koch Records called in after 50 told Styles he could shut down a project on Koch records. This, obviously, lead to Cam getting angry and the CEO of Koch calling in, because Diplomat Records is distributed through Koch.
SO, if this was fabricated, Styles would have had to have been invovled and would have had to have agreed to call and bring up the subject. I really, really, really, REALLY doubt that happened.
As far that the two tracks go, both were solid. The fact that 50's had a video that immmeadiately came out along with it realy enhanced the song. Also, when looking at diss records, you can't get too in depth into how they actually rap. In 50's case, it's the ad-libs that make you go "Oh shit, he went there". A lot of you cats are from over in Europe in shit, and unfortunately can't get a feel of what the perception is on the streets. Boston is pretty in tune to what's going down in NY, and so far, i'd say slight edge to 50. Should be interesting...
