you dont need skill to make money, what does he have skill in? making killer chorus's? thats such an amazing skill...EVERYTHING else the label does, promotion, marketing, whatever it is...50 cent wouldnt be ANYWHERE without aftermath and shady records they made him who he is, he's only continuing it by making chorus and radio friendly songs, so yea then he has skill in making catchy chorus's, thats so fuckin amazing, anybody can sell out and do w/e the fuck they want but a lot of people dont because they know how important it is to preserve whatever dope hip hop is left

underground artists who make money without a big label, and still keep intriguing lyrics are the ones with skill...
