I just have one thing to say...if you don't know shit, don't say shit...
have you who are criticizing 50 even listened to any of his cd's or do you just write it off because its popular and rap...
rap, as well as many other forms of music, is a form of storytelling, and 50 cent can fucking tell his stories better than most, he flows in a very unique way and dre made real good beats for him to tell his stories over...
you may not agree with every story he tells but you can't say that he has no talent...
so don't just take him at face value because he is becoming famous, if you are going to do that then you must think Kevin Smith is a sellout...
by the way, if you think he is only famous because he is on the shady/aftermath label you better pull your head out of your ass because he was at the center of a huge bidding war between many major labels, all of whom could recognize his talent, shady/aftermath just made him the best offer...
analogy coming up:
have you ever heard of a good movie critic critizing movies they have never seen?
All I'm trying to say is...DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER.
and as 50 cent would say on Patiently Waiting:
"You shouldn't throw stones
If you live in a glass house
And if you got a glass jaw
You should watch your mouth"
