Okay straight up, who likes this new rapper? I got his new CD and I think IZ DA BOMB...Dre is an excellent producer...seems like everything he touches goes platnum!

Not me!! He's just another manufactured POP/RAP artist.
As a matter of fact the video fits perfectly.

Ok, but just ok.

I do like him, however, I think its

the connections he has that are making

him bigger than he deserved to be.

ok, the success of this guy is just depressing. This is talentless gargage with typically degrading messages and lyrics. the only reason for its success is that record companies have succeeded in destroying peoples taste in music over the last 15 years so that all they have to do is take some thug with a criminal record, tell him to talk shit into a mike and then record it over an unchanging 4 minute loop, and they can sell millions. What a deal. I wish i could figure out how to get millions of people to buy shit for 18 bucks a pop. Music is not dead for me, but i fear it is the masses.

All this mid-tempo blingsta rap is getting mighty old.

It's time for the return of the PARTY ROCKER.

I want SALT AND PEPA, with bright green spandex covering their BIG BOOTIES, and BIG DADDY KANE with his satin robe and his sexy Gumbi-ass lookin' hairdo, and for God's sake BRING BACK BIZ MARKIE...NOW!!!

It'd be nice to have a new generation of hip-hop artists who don't pretend to "keep it real" all the way to the bank, who aren't afraid to dance and get crazy (FLAVOR FLAV, where ARE YOU?! at least ODB is outta prison now..), and who can do more on stage than stand around in baggy pants pulling at their crotches. Shit.

At least we have Missy and Outkast, I guess...it'd be nice to have some "serious" mainstream rappers on the same level as Chuck D., but I'm increasingly beginning to think that was a one-time-only deal...

But oh yeah, 50 Cent...I've heard his stuff. He has nice jewelry.

I always rate an artist I listen to on their live shows. Anyone can record a great studio album. But take them away for the processed sounds and they are horrible. I saw him performing "In the club" recently and wasn't impressed. He has a tight album regardless of how many people want to hate. Whenever he commands the crowd at his live shows there will be no stopping this young hungry lion.

He ain't no different from the other rappers. He just a little tune to bop your head to, but I don't dig him like that.

I could not agree more! I'm sick of 50 Cent and his Master P like voice. "Wangsta" was ok but this "In the Club" sucks ass! Bring back Biz and S&P!

the cd is ok...

If EVERYbody would give 50 cents, hoow many children could how long do live from?

I didn't like him 1st but now I like him alot!

I respect him 4 doing "Wangsta" the lyrics speaks 2 all the youngsters who front and act all thuggish.

I do like 50 cent...
Is this the song that has "queen" like harmonies.
Never in all this time has a band been able to CUT the sound like "QUEEN" did with vocals.

This band has achieved the SOUND OF splitting notes to bend backwards upon same.

The vocals are very very very...talented.

May they continue to keep the balance in their vocals to give forth...chakra wakenings.

Respectfully Spoken,
SingMia

talent like a whirl thru sound is like flying as a bird...

Do I have the right band? is this the one that has the line "she was dancing on the floor?" mayB I dont have the right person, if it is the band with the great harmonies, then I DO respectfully say the above.

AS FOR the rapper all of you surmise to perhaps dis a bit...remember, it's not easy in an unstable business to share your talent these days. LET GOD judge and let us just ride along with them...in an experience they have worked hard to bring forth.

Thank u.
SingMia

not i.

Do I have the right SONG?

"she was dancing cross the floor"? One of the lines...

Anybody know, becuz I might have the wrong band...U know what Im gonna edit until i know for sure if we on the same page.

Oh, I was off-topic!

I love people who have no respect for the genre of music commenting on a thread dedicated to an artist of that genre.

THREAD CRAPPERS

50 Cent has juice right now. He's hot, got tight lyric, good flow, and tight production. Eventually, the cadence will wear on the public and they'll be on the next big thing. That's how it goes.

Haters.

couldn't have said it better myself... I wouldn't call him no bling rapper either

I like 50 Cent...anyone who survives being shot 9 times is up there in my book

CarrieLee said:

Right thru the cheek...I was tellin somebody in here the other day I saw him on MTV flossin his Jeep Grand Cherokee...BOMB AND BULLET PROOF ain't that sum shit?

Anxiety said:

HAHAHAHAHAH Big Booties and gumbie cuts. I'm with ya all the way!

But actually I would have to say "Fista-Cuffs" is more street than 50. Y'all need to check out his new album "Turn My Head Phones Up" LMAO

pejman said:

EXcellent...!

Anxiety said:

EXACTLY. PERFECTLY SAID.


Oh-
to answer the question:

I do not.

I Like his flow, its different but yet still another rapper with nothing but crap to say.

A waste if you ask me.

You know,I can't even differentiate from all the thugged out rappers these days.They all have the same look,same attitude and same message.Their videos all look the same.


Nelly...Ja Rule...50 Cent...Ludacris...Fabulous...



Really,what's the difference between these guys? And before anyone accuses me of bashing a genre that I don't like,I should tell you that I am hip-hop fan.I like Snoop,Tupac and the "old school" rappers.But too much of the new stuff is all the same.

Davideye - you have an excellent point. I feel the same way you do. Rap and even hip/hop are boring these days. It's the same old sound and look for 99% of them. They rap about the same issues (money, women & thug life) and they dress the same. There is nothing interesting about most of them these days. I have nothing against 50 cent or the others that are similar, but their music and message does absolutely nothing for me. Someone above said that anyone who has been shot 9 times ranks high with them. WTF???
