why does 50 sell records
 
why does 50 cent sell so many records if he is not a good lyricst. He sells more than jay-z,nas and who ever else you want to put on the list do you really think it's the beefs as most whould say?

he got alot a dick rydas.. jumpin on him cause he got shot.. n sold drugs n shit.. so there from ppl think he hard...
but he got some good songs.. and some nice lyrics i dont give a fuck what sum yall say..

He sells a lot because he got shot, and because hes the "in" thing... Much like yoyos or.............................................. pogs......................

Also, the success of his newest album is partially due to lies... Sayin an album has gone platinum in 1 week will provoke cats (by cats i mean stupid kids) to think "Oh... A million copies in a week! It must be a downright smashing album! I'll just ask mother to drive me there in the mercedes, lexus, or porsche, whatever mood im in at the time. And then i'll tell her to give me a hundred dollar bill to wipe my ass with so I dont smell when I go to the music store to buy 50 cents album with my allowance of $1000 a day. Then i'll have a slumber party and marvel at how cool being shot and losing loved ones and having no money and conforming to drug addiction is! How swell!!!"

was that bein a smart ass to me?

He sells so many records because he's paid his dues. 50's sucked a lot of executive Jewish dick to get to where he is today.

maybe fuckers outside of Rv actually like him...maybe that has something to do with it....

B-MAC 04-20-05 07:07 AM

Because the hood loves him. especially gun play

aiight, I'll explain this to you kids again...

50CENT and rappers like him sell records because it is statistically proven that the highest demographic of individuals that buy chart topping rap albums are *gasp* white suburban teenage males and duhh, they wanna hear about that "gangster shit" and gunplay that he talks about, whether it's true or not isn't even the issue though so I won't say that 50 is fake, cuz iono if he just talk shit and lie on wax or what, I didn't grow up with his ape ass...but that IS why he sells records though, people living vicariously through him...

and no, he does NOT have good lyrics so don't ever ever say that again, anyone that thinks 50CENT is "lyrically" even borderline should be shot...he's a horrible lyricist man...all he does is make club songs, he might as well be just another rapper from the South...I'd type more but 50 isn't worth much more words, but yes, I statistically proved why 50 sells records, now stop asking :)...

Because people who listen like simple rhymes they can understand, and the gangster bull crap just makes them go "Wow, I wanna be like that". Overall it's all bout people and what they think is cool, and being shot and ish is cool.

No, it should be worse than that. I think they should have their organs ripped out then have to eat them, then eat another man's balls. But this pretty much sums it up.

The illusion of Street Cred + Multi-milliondollar advertising machine = ANYONE'S a smash hit. Think man, Nelly went platinum. You think rap's about lyrical skill? Do you think it's EVER been?

Sean Gunner 04-20-05 11:10 AM

It used to be about lyrical skill, but it got lost somewhere between the 80's and 90's
