Yeah, but by and large, mainstream rap is not tremendously positive. I think he has a point. | |

Separate "Fitty's" moronic prejudices from his music, and you'll find his music is chock-full of violence, sexism and thuggery. The lesser of two evils  ?
I suppose years ago, rap had so much more to say than it does now. Bling bling and banging bitches gets really old really quickly. Hedonistic gangsta fantasies are not useful. Even Tupac succumbed to the lifestyle. "I never had a record before I had a record". [This message was edited Fri Mar 12 10:23:19 2004 by VoicesCarry] | |

Don't think for a moment that this attitude is specific to rap. Many alternative, rock, rnb artists have these same sentiments as 50 Cent . They just dont publicly speak on it. Oh my, oh my. | |

I love how after all that nonsense, they end with him building a "community center for children". Hilarious!!  | |

Yeah, but by and large, mainstream rap is not tremendously positive. I think he has a point. that's because artists like de la soul and common and the roots get swept aside (by the mainstream) in preference for all the fitty cent-ers and eminems. please don't kid yourselves...there is an agenda. and intelligence is not included in that agenda. | |

I'm aware of that. I'm also aware that rap is not defined by artists like 50 Cent, so that's why I included the "mainstream" qualifier. | |

That's like how I appreciate the honesty of someone in the KKK vs someone who doesn't have the balls to say how they feel. He's an idiot but I will probably still knod my head when I hear in da club. I agree that i'd rather him be honest about his feelings, however retarded they are. I don't think its taken balls to say it though. Hip Hop is a very homophobic genre of music. He would get lambasted by the community if he supported gay rights, and i'm quite sure he'd lose fans. This isn't specific just to Hip Hop though, the same would happen in rock&roll. Anyway, who gives a fuck about someone like him. Anyone that's willing to glorify the pimping of his own women aint worth shit. Same goes for his souless fans. "London, i've adopted a name that has no pronounciation.... is that cool with you?"
"YEAH!!!" "Yeah, well then fuck those other fools!" | |

He didnt seem 2 have a problem with 'faggots' a few weeks back when he appeared on the Jonathan Ross show on the BBC - his show has a house band called: '3 poofs and a piano' (three poofs and a piano strangely enough), and he even performed a skit alongside them and got introduced as: '50cent and 3 poofs and a piano' so Im just taking this with a rather large pinch of salt as he was more than genial that nite, so im not gonna take these comments outta context until ive hear dmore or read the whole piece myself.

I'm curious to know why any of you care what "Fiddy Cent" thinks of your lifestyles. His opinions have no direct effect on anyone else, right? Remember that not everyone in the world is gay-friendly. Surely this is not new news. I'm not supporting his views, but rather asking why this seems to come as a surprise. What thug would "come out" to his public audience? That would end his career. Supporting homosexuality would also end his career as a rapper. He should have just steered clear of the issue altogether if he had nothing positive to say.
Its quite possible that Prince could share this view as well at this point in his life. How would y'all react if Prince also felt this way and said it. (Of course he won't; he'd loose so much MONEY it ain't even funny if he did)...but WHAT IF?...hmmm? | |

~'Nana. You think he'd perform that same skit in America? A lot of artists go to other countries and act differently on camera because they aren't as scrutinized as they are here. | |

Who CARES?  Just my 2CENTS - As far as Im concerned, I like his music, but he has no bearing on my life in any way, shape or form.
I could care less 2 be honest. | |

 at least he's being honest about his ignorance.----- Yes, it is important to have honest ignorant people in the world with the super natural ability to read people's minds (LOL) This guy is such a shit bag it unbelivable to me that he has a record deal but, this is what music has come to. What a shame. | |

Actually, even Common has voiced very negative views on homosexuality in interviews. | |

The guy sounds like he is retarted. Does it really matter what he thinks? He's been shot in the head, and you can tell by the way he talks. Who cares. If anything, 50 Cent is probably now on Bill O'Reily's good side, so I don't think this is a bad thing. | |

The word "faggot" makes me cringe. But then again, I guess it depends on your surroundings and your peers.
Sometimes people change tho. That took Eminem alot of balls to put the more or less pro-gay rap in 8mile, while still trying to maintain his tough image. | |

 Yeah, like my 20-year-old jobless, just-out-of-prison-on-felony-theft-charges little brother. He LOVES 50 Cent.  No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.
Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected. Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamine. | |

Yeah, but recently Common recorded a song on his latest album denouncing his past homophobic sentiments. Check this out... Common "Between Me, You & Liberation" From the album Electric Circus He spoke with his eyes, tear-filled A lump in his throat, his fear built My whole life it was in steel This ain't the way that men feel A feeling, he said he wish he could kill A feeling, not even time could heal This is how real life's supposed to be? For it to happen to someone close to me? So far we'd come, for him to tell me As he did, insecurity held me I felt like he failed me To the spirit, yelled help me I'd known him for like what seemed forever About going pro we dreamed together Never knew it would turn out like this For so long he tried to fight this Now there was no way for him to ignore it His parents found out and hated him for it How could I judge him? Had to accept him if I truly loved him No longer he said had he hated himself Through sexuality he liberated himself | |
