Well as I've already mentioned, lyrically wise he's not that good, I admit he has a good enough flow but he doesn't talk about issues that affect me so why care?
If you like him you may like MF Doom as well--- he has some pretty impressive beats
OK beats, but mediocre lyrics aimed at fulfilling suburban white boys gangsta fantasies.
lol, that is actually quite true.
Because he's everything that that's wrong with hip hop!
My favourite lyricist(s) has to be De La Soul. Anyone who makes a rap track about what's on their answer phone deserves a mention.
No!i think you're wrong there,to me he's like the greatest thing that ever happened to hip hop.
You've missed a whole chunk out of hip hop/rap history then.
Lol!abt the lyrics stuff,i agree with y'all but he's still good. :cool:
Not the greatest but one of the greatests,he's a living legend! :thumb:
No,not that!He's been talked abt everywhere you,he's become famous and very successful.
I think he means do you think 50 Cent will be still be famous in 20 or 30 years time?
Well,who knows,he might be cuz of the sudden popularity and success he's enjoying.
Yes but there are a lot of similar rappers/bands/pop stars who are enjoying the same level of popularity. The chances are that in 5 years they'll be unknown, do you think that 50 Cent is that good that in 20 or 30 years he'll be regarded in the same level as the people blagsta's mentioned.
So he's not a living legend then?
Yeah, but he's a shit hyped up record company puppet.
Well,the posibility of 50 enjoying the fame he's enjoying now will be like 50,50.Though,he'll be regareded but not as what he's now.You know time changes and things will never be the same for him as all those like him.
:mad:
True enough though, I think 50 has good potential and he has some good beats but the lyrics are completely meaningless, not the makings of a legend.
Ooow!ok,i'll talk to him to make them better,lol!
I nominate this for most stupid post of the year. I can't see anyone else beating it.
He must be the only hip-hop artist you've ever heard if you've come to that conclusion without mind-altering substances.
No-one will be listening to 50 Cent in 20 years. Whereas people will still be listening to Public Enemy, NWA, Dead Prez and De La Soul. Because they're good.
Saffffffhamptun. Home of Craig David.
He has no originality,
He has no interest in doing anything other than making as much cash as he can,
He's got very little personality.
The only thing about 50 cent that I could praise is that he's a tribute to eminem and Dr Dre's business and marketing ability.
Very, very good analogy Jon.
I can imagine that he only did a Dre tribute because it's almost law nowadays in the rap world to do it. Dre was good but he's not the only one.
