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.

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*

noname 10-14-05 05:19 PM

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

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
