show some respect for 50 cent
 

^^thats right
i'm not gonna say that he's a good lyricist, cause he isnt, but he does deserve some respect
examples...
- he's sold almost 20 million albums with only TWO releases
- a 50 cent hook can make a club banger as easy as a dope timbaland or scott storch beat
- he's pushin some of the best-sellin mixtapes as well as bein a mainstream success
- he's sittin on one of rap's most successful rap labels (g-unit)
- he's makin money off clothing, shoe, and vitamin water lines (n probly some other bussinesses that i forgot about)
- he's probly the most well-known name in music, and maybe entertainment in general
- his upcoming movie, soundtrack, video game, and his recently released book are all guaranteed successes because they have 50's name on the cover

so hate or love his music, but u have to face the facts. he knows wut people want, n he knows how to make it
i know i'll catch a lot of heat for makin this thread, but i had to make it. i'm sick of newbs comin in here and hatin on 50 just to fit in with the whole "underground rap" image...

i def agree about people hatin on 50 just to fit in

I hate 50 because of the fact he raps for money, when did music become about money? Rap is supposed to be self expression, now it's a career.

yeah GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG-------unit....yeah Mobb DEep, M.O.P. and Mase are signed to them iom rockin mobb deep u see...lol.....

i see where ur comin from, but its too idealistic
anything that someone can make millions on isnt gonna stay that pure

everything you stated has somthign do with with him making money, 50 cent is a marketing genius. He cant rap for shit.
Do you relise million doller studio equipment can make a rapper flow and sound good.
since when has a good rapper been classes on what studio equpiment can do for his voice?
since when has it been cool to make the same generic content filled songs over and over on a diffrent beat?

your wrong, 50 cent doesnt deserve any respect for analising the "thug" image and using it to sell records at extreme numbers.

he is a marketing genius,not a good rapper. He has taken huge chunks of industry knowledge from the brightest in the game(jam master j,shady aftermath) and learnt the buisness gimik side to rap and used it to make some absolute garbage tracks and sold millions.

Since when was rap about video games and absolutly wrecking the essence of our culture by selling out to the rich man who doesnt see the roots to rap,but see's the new found doller signs.

sorry sir,but your wrong.

^^lol, i kno u were counterin wut i said, but i actually agree wit everything there
i dont respect 50 as a rapper, but i aint gonna hate on him because i respect him as a marketing genius
he knows wut he's doin, he probly cud start to make dope lyrical songs if that became mainstream

^listen to the man

50's 1st album was nice in a completly honest and aggressive way. You can hear dude's passion and how he felt when he made it. Like in tracks called heat. But I don't respect him anymore music wise, but I do know why he's like this now. He don't have the mindset no more and he wanna rap how he feels, but he could at least stop being wack with his rhyme schemes and shit. :bored: Well em and fifty fell off. So I guess its up to me :( *puts on rapboy costume*

I remeber making a thread like this before in the past...

I agree wit the 1st post

yea, despite wutever 50's lackin lyrically, grodt is one of my favorite albums... its one of the albums that i can play every track straight through witout gettin sick of the style or just sick of the wack songs
dont like the massacre much tho... its decent, but there are a lot of wack songs on it

Or In Other And Smaller Words

Fuck 50 .............His rymes are so repetitive and Unoriginal but he wants to stand out in the crowd so fuck him

yes...his lryics suck
But he doesn't make music for people to listen to lyrics or nutin....
If ya want complex lyrics...go listen to Rakim,Nas,or Talib.

But as for 50...
He makes the "blast in ya room/car" type 'a music...

anyone that agrees to give 50 respect cause of this thread....is a fuckin joke...



but hey.....i'd sell out too

^^this thread was made in response to taelor's thread, n he's already a fuckin joke
so.....

yall talk about 50's lyrics like u write better then him...the underground rap shit is for some net geek shit....fuck it...like c-murder said "fuck that hip-hop i'm into that gangsta rap" thats what its about...and who cares if its all about money...man thats what its about...loving it and makin money...money is what makes the world go round...in my opinion...50's sick as fuck i loved his album Guess Whos Back? that whole cd is legendary in my eyes..all his shits nice and he has a sick ass flow with that slurr he has....sick as hell....i love this group..i dont care how much i get hated on but shit thas wat its about

nigga...how the FUCK is able to tell if he's a fat white middle class wannabe gangsta just from that post?

he lives in Washington...you live in Ireland.

yes....i think it does...

LoL...ok...he is white and fat

but you don't know if he's wannabe..lol..

Hes got a lotta money ad I respect him for that.

But do you REALLY think that 50 cent did it? His marketing officials are in charge of that shit... all 50 cent does is make second rate tracks that people love. His smart as fuck marketers somehow manage to sell millions of copies. 50 cent isnt the one whose idea it was to start up the g-unit franchise shoes, shirts, water etc... it was all the people behind the scenes.

Basically, 50 Cent is stupid.... But the world is stupider.

50=Greatest hook writer.

efex the funny thing is if i saw u i' would prolly shoot u up....cuz remember the music i listen too motivates me too do the things they say...and do have a gun.... I gotta smith n wesson short barrel

ya n 50 can succ mah dic*

^^ :bored:

If I were you, i'd kill myself...

Just a suggestion... Im putting it out there. You can take it or leave it.

W/e @ this thread..
I dont hate 50.. I just dont respect him from a rappers perspective..

But I will reply to this.
Man, its so naieve to talk like that. Selling music is something that has gone on for centurys. Why is it every closed minded underground dickriding hip hop head acts like if you rap for money your a sell out? That is the most dumbass opinion I've ever seen..

Dont buy into that crappy idealistic bullshit about rap shouldnt be for money. If a rapper can make money from doing what he loves doing, then why the fuck are you gonna hate on that?

Rap is a multi million doller industry & love it or hate it. Money makes the world go round. Anyone who tells you different has probably been rich all their lives and doesent know what the fuck their talking about.

Rap is an awesome way to showcase talent and make a quick buck so that we as rappers can live good, wealthy lives and continue making the music that so many people enjoy. Fuck ANYONE who acts like this is bad.

Sell outs are people who let record lables control their image and the music on their cd's to fit in with pre-concieved ideas of what will sell. 50 Cent is a sell out, but its got nothing to do with money.

Dont ever let me hear that ignorant bullshit again :nono:

I Respect Any Nigga Who Done Came Out Da Guttah

So by me saying i hate money and could care less if i have it or not means that i have been rich all my life? Get the fuck outa here nos.... I had to work for everything i gotten so far and i aint ever been rich so hows that opnion come into place... I would say that was the stupidest opnion i've ever hurd... But its just that, your opnion so there for i will refrain from making you look stupid because everyone is entitled to they own opnion

Explain to me how you expect to make me look stupid when I am right.

Think about it meat head..
If you DIDNT have money, how would you be on the computer you just typed that ignorant post on? No electricity = no appliances. No light... No TV... No money = no peterol for your car, No money = No car at all.. How would you get to that 'hard work' that you speak of in the first place?... No money = no place for you to live... No money = no food for you to eat... No money = No internet for you to fail to make an intelligent argument against people like me on..

You worked for your money... Good for you, but your missing the point entirly...
Money STILL makes the world go round. You can love it or hate it all you like.
But you CANNOT live without it, and therefore it is impossable for you not to care about it. Hell, why dont you go prove your claim that you dont care about money.... And live under a bridge in a cardboard box... Dont beg for any hand outs either, cause....You dont care whether you have money or not.. What an awesome life that would be....:thumbup:

Next time you think your making me look stupid or proving me wrong in any way... Close your internet window and bash your head against a concrete wall.. That should work out to the same effect.

Tha Debate Can Go On 7 On But U Either Hate Commercial Hip Hop Or U Luv It

Simpy put don't hate the player, hate the game......................

Hey, Slapnuts, go find one of the tons of 50 Cent threads that have already been created (if you can find one that's still open), and post your bullshit there.
