And thunderstruck,stop with the fuzz!it doesn't really suit you.I have a question,what has 50 done to deserve all these hostilies?
Is that ghetto-speak for something I don't understand or are you referring to my mass of facial hair?
I have an answer - he's made a mountain of money for being a very very mediocre talent. There are 1001 more talented people out there who don't get any recognition while pricks like 50 Cent get all the money and all the attention for being very average.
And people fail to acknowledge that he was brought into this World by Dr Dre and Eminem.
50 Cent is a success, and is not an average rapper, and obviously has talent, because people buy his music.
That is quite a naive thing to say. A good marketing team can market something pretty ordinary and people will buy it eg. Girls Aloud, Spice Girls, [every boy/girl band EVER], Busted, Fightstar... I could go on forever.
All these people do not have that much talent yet they are seen as marketable because of some factor and the fact that all these people sell so much while being so crap is testament to how powerful the marketing people influence the industry.
Like....Greenday for example, I know people that used to love Green Day, but now that they have been publicised alot by a marketing team, my mates have started to lose interest. Seems like they hate all merchandised bands, there was another one to list that RSS likes, cant remember the name though.
Next!
Acid house is shit!
The day I'm contradicted by someone north of the Watford gap is the day Quito becomes a clean city.
Yes,i totally agree with you,50 is a success and not an average rapper as thunderstruck is trying to put.I just wanna ask,what about his awards and all the charts he's been topping?somebody tell me something.
People don't buy his records because he's talented, they buy them because they're basically told to buy them, you see him on TV all the time. He is very mediocre, take In Da Club for example, good tune, good chorus, lyrics crap. End of.
You think awards are a benchmark of what's good and what's not?
How many Grammys etc. did people like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones etc. etc. win? None. Just like the Oscars. Tom Hanks has won God-knows how many yet Stanley Kubrick never won a single one.
And you think number ones are a sign of what's good? Hell, the Spice Girls have had number ones and you think anyone considers them to be good? Mate you have a seriously warped view if you take your cue of what's good and what's not by the awards they win and the amount of number ones they have.
As I said earlier and as Turlough reiterated, people buy this crap because it's cool to buy it, not because it's actually good.
Take some advice and go and listen to some proper rap and then you might realise just how wank 50 Cent is.
How about nothing.
So when you stop being his greatest fan, the world will realise how shit he is? I'm confused.
Yup.
God, I could just talk for ages too. That's about as easy as it gets... I can make up songs as I go along.
There is far better rap out there. It's jsut not in the mainstream...
No,he'll never be shit,he'll always be the greatest of all :wave:
Then if you say Nelly is another shit,who is good for?Oh,i don't understand you,i wonder who your taste will be.
Likewise bucko.
My taste in rap is firmly rooted in old rap as it's not about bitches/ho's/homies/pimps/cars/n***ers/etc. etc. ad nauseam.
Rapping about that kind of stuff requires no talent whatsoever.
Listen to Public Enemy, RunDMC, De La Soul, Dead Prez, Cypress Hill, NWA and you might realise that rap is a little more than 50 Cent and Nelly.
So you measure quality by commercial success?
*ahem*
MC Hammer
*ahem*
it seems you kinda forgotten the rap legend 2pac!He was one whole talented rapper.I'm not saying nelly and 50 ain't talented,of course they are too,but they ain't anywhere closer to 2pac.
I beg to differ. There were better rappers than 2pac.
Have you not read this thread. Immortal technique for one and Kool Keith for one
*bangs screen*
He's a lost cause mate.
