i think hes good but he will neva be in the same league as Tupac- he is not as articulated and educated and his lyrics dont really make any sense but hes ok , his tunes are catchy and make u shake ur booty but tupac's tracks made people sit up and take notice and he expressed how he saw things in the world around him- 50 cent jus talks about shootin people
50 has some great lines: "Finishin in my head, like a baby born dead destination heaven, sit and politic with passengars from nine eleven The lords blessins leave me lyrically inclined shit I aint even gotta try to shine God's a seamstress to tailor fitted my pain I got scriptures in my brain I could spit at your dame straight out the good book, look, niggaz iz shook 50 fears no man, warrior swing swords like Conan" from Patiently Waiting. That is poetry!
Who under rates him?
lot of people. lot of people swinging on his nuts too so it evens out.
He deals with content from his own life. I can't see anything wrong with that.
[quote:0fd024706f="jake420"]his lyrics a lot deeper than people credit him for.[/quote:0fd024706f] :D
50 cent is not as good as ppl think and i agree he will never match the greatness of tupac or biggy smalls. I do like the song "Im so hood" tho. G-unit, now thats some good stuff
G-Unit is a super group.
[size=24:fbdd2d4fc9]50 is not da greatest. i even herd emenim is gay. i herd he payed this man not to tell any one that they were together.But back 2 50. every1 thinks he is # 1. Wut he b rappin about is bull most of the time. He got shot 9 times yea yea yea. My paster at my church even no dat. Yall say he raps about wut he been threw in life. I garantee u he did not go threw all of that. those are just lines. Yea i cant frunt some of his lines is ill but he aint that nice. Lloyed Banks is better than him. Dont get me wrong I like G-Unit. But im keepin it real [list:fbdd2d4fc9][list:fbdd2d4fc9][list:fbdd2d4fc9][code:1:fbdd2d4fc9][b]hoLLLLLLL0 Queens Bridge stand up!!!![/b][/code:1:fbdd2d4fc9][/list:u:fbdd2d4fc9][/list:u:fbdd2d4fc9][/list:u:fbdd2d4fc9][size=18][/size:fbdd2d4fc9][/size]
Ya got a point.
8) Hea Yo! 50 can hardly be regarded in the top fifty. There's not too much he says thats not been said before, and him and his crew are stretching this player sh*t too far. when your that influencial use the status to create global change. -Analogy-
Not even in the Top 50? That seems a bit harsh.
yeah i admit 50 is no way da hottest rapper but he did live da lyrics n he did pop nines n cop shit. unfortunately he's gone 2 commercial and get rich or die trying and beg for mercy are aight albums, his old mixtapes blew me away especially the one's wiv the forgotten memeber of g unit tony yayo. all these little pop bitches are luvin im at da mo jus coz he's got a 6 pac its so sad 2 see such a gu d rapper appearing on top of the pops and trl/
lets face it though. errbody want to be the richest and most famous. they always change up to get fame. no one who goes mainstream is ever considered as good as when they were underground.
50 sucks for the simple reason that he can't even pronounce the words that are coming out of his mouf. My fellow Nas fan posted some nice lyrics from a 50 song, but i would be shocked and awed if the stupid motherfucker could say them. Secondly, isn't it time we moved on from this gangsta shit? Biggie (and Tupac, I guess) were great for their time but it's time we buried them. 50 just makes niggas look bad. And his clothes suck.
illmatic is right .....
ya. illmatic got a point. 50 enriching himself and he don't care how. truth be told if anyone was as tough as 50 act in his record he wouldnt last long. you murder everyone you meet ya gonna end up locked up at some point. i mean im glad to see the man have success for himself but he got to evolve his thinking. i love some of his songs though. many men is a burner.
If anything 50 is overrated. I admit he is tight but everyone buys into the hype just because he's "real" and has been shot. D-Block, Dead Prez, Mobb Deep. They're underrated.
you must have liked some tracks from GRODT. how about "back down" or "patiently waiting" or "many men"?
Aight, I've been in Iraq as a sergeant, and got out and went back as a contractor. What's the latest relations between 50 and em... Has Banks spoke up yet.. And does this Benzino spit anything hood and good?? And how about some muzik in the layout.... Somebody needs to offer me some cash to help out a sight, or do I need to spit some cash to yall to bring this sight up???????????
aight. first off, welcome back! glad to see you in one piece. em and 50 are cool for now. the kind of money they make would make almost anyone cool. down the road we gone see. as to benzino, he is the most hated on mc out there but truth be told, he aint the wackest brother out there. he got some decent rhyme on his new track. eminem gave him way too much attention if you ask me. he made him famous. ask to the cash, i would keep my eye on that.
Talofa lava & ki ora everyone. :P :) 8O I like the music :oops: :cry: :o
Talofa lava to you too. i think. 8)
I only just joined and def a bit late on the subject rolling, BUT Mary going to have her say........................first of all going back, i'd like to swing on 50's nuts, we deprived of good nuts down under. Movin' on, i think, altho he got talent and can put down a good beat and clipz, 50 only worried about 50, ain't no heavy heart and soul coming from 50, seems like he just out there mad rush puttin sum lyrics together to keep up with everyone.
yo 2 pac da illest but in tell thiz 50 thing came out itz a fucken disgrace FUCK da dollaz u get next thing u know u lyin undergound wit 30000 pounds of sand on top of ya

the best hip hop star
50 is the man! I love 50!
[quote:9278167a74="Anonymous"]the best hip hop star[/quote:9278167a74] And underrated for his skills. 50 has classics. A lot of his lines are fire. "50 fears no man, swings swords like Conan". His flow is ill too.
50 a goof rat.......he rat on murder inc.
thats what the source said.
I personally don't like 50 .. or most rappers because their one dimensional. True pac fans know that tupac didn't just talk about positive shit but yall only talk about that.. dont get me wrong pac is one of my faves but to sit their and put him on a high pedistool and for what.. Yea he had some real deep songs.. but then he had songs that disrespected women .. His whole style was contridicting in itself.. Yall never once questioned Pac's stories.. Yall never once had any proof ... but yall believed him ..so what makes 50 any different?... Who do yall consider the greatest rapper out?.. if yall say jay z yall need to be slapped with a mic..so basically the point to my lil paragraph is that.. ALl the rappers out are all the same and the ones who are unique in any shape or form are highly underrated (Ex: Dead prez) and not marketed well enough to become a household name (ex:Jayz,50).. Yea there are rappers like nas.. But he too talks about guns and shit...
you make a good point. but differnet ain't always better. and sometimes its not what the rappers say but how they say it. hot beats have a lot do with songs too.
[quote:ebba8d39db="jake420"]his lyrics a lot deeper than people credit him for.[/quote:ebba8d39db] That's right. You don't like him cos yer scared he might be talented. [quote:ebba8d39db="V-Illin"]he say some ignant stuff[/quote:ebba8d39db] Don't all rappers? [quote:ebba8d39db="flychick"]i think hes good but he will neva be in the same league as Tupac- he is not as articulated and educated and his lyrics dont really make any sense but hes ok , his tunes are catchy and make u shake ur booty but tupac's tracks made people sit up and take notice and he expressed how he saw things in the world around him- 50 cent jus talks about shootin people[/quote:ebba8d39db] This is also true as Tupac was more commited to the movement & 50 is just a gunslinger that stumbled across fame & now he's gonna be big. [quote:ebba8d39db="claude"]lot of people. lot of people swinging on his nuts too so it evens out.[/quote:ebba8d39db] I totally agree with this one. [quote:ebba8d39db="smoker420"]He deals with content from his own life. I can't see anything wrong with that.[/quote:ebba8d39db] Tis wot Rap is all about. I like him! I think he's doing a good job & he will be around for a while that's for sure. I don't think he really has talent though but for some reason he's good. Dunno.
He got charisma. That's what 50 has in abundance.
