I have listened to the CD because my roommate is a big fan of that shitty CD an plays it whenever he can. I have listened to his ONE CD. I am not aware if he has any others.
Yes, it is a form of storytelling, but 50 cent is the equivalent of a Cat in the Hat put with curse words in it. There really are no life lessons, no wonderous stories, no deep meanings behind his music. I refer you to his song about Fat Chicks.
The beats are some of the worse I've heard since Super Mario Brothers on Nintendo. It really sounds like someone went with a Casio keyboard and said, here '50 Cent' now get really high and write down any words you want.
He has no talent.
I think some of the most talented people in the world are famous. I don'tlike him because he's famous. I don't like him because he has no talent.
And, boy they ARE reaping the benefits indeed. I mean, they are getting money, but as an artist he is horrible.
As 50 cent says,
"Stay the fuck away from, you fuckin fat bitch"
