50 Cent is not the next DMX because:

1. 50 Cent mumbles, he doesn't rap.

2. DMX is passionate and has a good delivery... 50 Cent mumbles.

3. DMX is at least deep with his thug crap (or used to be), unlike 50.

4. DMX was very creative when he started out - 50 Cent was never creative (except for How To Rob.. can anyone say one hit wonder?)

5. DMX is was a good mainstream artist... 50 is a bad mainstream artist.

In fact, the only thing they really have in common is they both hate Ja Rule. That's pretty much it.
