if 50 cent lived the gang life like he says he did, then why did he try rap game as a way outa it, gang life is a way of life whether u in the italian mafia russian or a latino street gang or bloods or crips its all the same its a way of life...i dont think he was actually in a gang i duno for sure but he does talk about a gangster lifestyle and if he lived that lifestyle hed still b in it not rappin bout it. the fact hes hardcore black and a gangster makes the white suburb kids like him and the way he still at least tries to act hood keeps the blacks happy too so no matter what hes sellin his albums..but i think a lota ppl like us dont like him cause of his attitude he jus thinks hes the next jesus christ and that pisses everyone off
