I do find lollipop vulgar to a certain extent but that is one track. Ying Yang Twins more vulgar than Fiddy. Overall, I don't find Fiddy's body of work to be routinely vulgar. Some rappers just focus on the vulgarity and the violence which is what I don't care for. As for GRODT, what rapper hasn't focused on material things either lyrically or visually? I think when Fiddy raps about money and money issues he does it as a form of comedy and not necessarily preaching that money is all that matters.

50 has fallen off so badly....and he burned his babymama's house down!
I guess his dumb ass forgot his son occupied the house too.

You really think HE did that? I always found that story suspicious because all six people who were there only suffered "smoke inhilation" and it happened days after a heated argument in Shaniqua's attorneys office or some shit. I can't see him trying to kill his own son nor can I see him killing anyone and failing at it. She went on blast after the incident so I wondered if maybe she and her homies did it to tip the court scales in her favor. I mean she wanted half of his earnings even though they never married.

50 was the only one who benefited from that house burning down (insurance money).
She's a goldigger and a hoodrat but it would not have helped her to burn the house down; especially with the kid there. I can believe a father setting a house on fire or paying someone to before I can believe a mother doing it with herself and her child in the house, too. I believe someone in 50's crew did it. The money trail leads back to him.

he represents everything that's wrong with hip hop nowadays

talking about ho's and being a pimp and a thug

he's a disgrace to the black race ; he's a 'coon'

mumblin talentless wanker

Dude was a drug dealer. Trust me his raps about materialism are not concerning anything legal and I do not think he is joking.

Aren't you bothered by the coon/thug/ inarticulate image he puts out.

If not I guess the public really does love sterotypes.

Please this guy was a drug dealer why would you put it passed him to not a burn a house down to the ground or have his boys do it.

DAMN!!!! That's pretty harsh!!! (I'm not disagreeing).

Sorry but by faggot i meant like a jackass not gay or w/e.

voyevoda said:

So a faggot is a jackass to you? Are all gay people faggots, and/or jackasses?

You can say that, but I don't go around spouting NI**ER saying "Oh it just means lazy to me, not black or negro or w/e."

Stop it. It ain't cool. Being gay isn't a punchline or a joke or a cliche. Find a new word.

Because crazy things have been known to happen during bitter splits and I don't think his baby momma is a saint. Plus I thought he loved his son. I'm not saying it's not possible but just hard to believe that he would bring all that suspicion on himself. If the allegations are true, he should be in jail for attempted murder shouldn't he?

lol.....harsh or true?

That's talentless WANKSTER.

Since when has anyone in the justice system given a damm about black folks.
People get killed every day or disappear in urban communities and you don't even see news coverage.

laurarichardson said:

You got me there. Dayum...they gotta care about insurance fraud tho. It's still sad and fucked up.

Graycap23 said:

Harsh....I'm not saying it's true. I don't consider him a disgrace because the man has done some good things since he's gotten famous. I just don't like the fact that he refers to women as "bitches" and "hoes". To me, 50 is just another product of a marketing machine. He did what he had to do to get paid. I'm sure if he hadn't found shit-hop, he would be dead by now.

DesireeNevermind said:

Could Fiddy have done Brenda's Got A Baby, Trapped, Keep Ya Head Up, Part Time Mutha or Papaz Song?

Umm no!

BlaqueKnight said:

indeed

Thibaut said:

I think he could have done those songs if they had been initial releases at the start of his career. Fiddy came out rappin bout the club and wankster but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a soft side where he could have done the above songs. I mean 21 questions was a good start. I give him time.

Sorry for my words, but in my opinion 50 is one of the weakest rappers in history. He's nothing comparing to Talib Kweli or BIG...
Just my opinion!

I'll admit, I'm actually beginning to like 50 Cent again, even though he has been a proper coon in the last few years with some of his stuff.But he seems to have improved, especially since he's been going after the other shit hop brigade like Rick Ross and co.
Before he got shot in the jaw, 50 actually used to be a very fast and energetic rapper, and still manages to come up with some good material, usually when its produced by Dr Dre.

He's a naturally funny guy, you should see the videos he's been posting up on his youtube channel, they are hilarious!

He has a good sense of humour, and you should watch this one where he starts crying after having listened to the new Fat Joe CD.



and especially this one! Where he starts "crying" after being attacked by Rick Ross,lmao! Anyone who makes fun of Rick Ross deserves plaudits!



Couldn't stop laughing at that!
He doesn't even bother to do a diss record, he just does some comedy instead, and is not afraid to make fun of himself either.

I agree, I never understood the mass appeal. But thats the problem with Hip-Hop today, lyrical content takes a back seat to image. There is a lot of great music out there that NEVER sees the light of day. My local "hip-hop" radio station is content playing the same 5-7 songs (no exaggeration) over and over again, and its sad and pathetic. So a guy like 50 (I don't want to call him an artist) can't loose, he has the image and the machine (Interscope) behind him. So he's damn near guaranteed to sell units and get air time. Sad, sad stuff

DesireeNevermind said:

Fiddy fucks meaty buffalos??? I'm not surprised . . .

SCNDLS said:

anyone who knows anything about hip hop knows that 50 was the genius creation of Dr. Dre and Eminem

if 50 were left on his own to rap or find beats - he would be in the gutter where he started

but i kinda like his show on MTV where he tries to be Donald Trump

and even though i am a dude i think he is very good looking

he is packaged very well - gunshots and all

and he made a lot of people rich

but he gets little respect from anyone who knows anything about real hip-hop

Oh Des, you know I love ya but why oh why are you a fan of 50??? I so don't get the hype around him. He's neither talented nor charming and he always looks as if he has 0 IQ. Sorry...
