Is 50 cent gangsta?

[cannabis campbell]

Is he gangsta or just a wannabe?

I used to think he was a bit like tupac but i think most of the stuff about him and how he tries to portray himself it just fake to make himself look bad.

Look how hard he tries on this video to look like something outta the godfather lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=305jKrU-uQM

[orangeman]

50 is just as much as a gangster as me...which is not a gangster at all.

[PaRaNoIa]

He's a bitch, and he's proud, that he's been in jail.. Dumbass rich motherfucker..



I wish I were black, shot and had done time.. I would be a rich rapper aswell..:rolleyes:

[Spoken Word]

prolly was.. isnt now.
like most of them..

a good one died recently stacks something...

the really good ones...really do what they rap about.

50 cent was better when he wasn't known, go figure..

[chronicnhash]

LOL! 50 cent gangsta? hahaha thats tooo funny

[WEsmokeED]

yea 50 cent aint gangster....

Lil Wayne is a gangster though cuz all he cares about is getting money. That the definition of a gangster in my opinion, not crips and bloods. Its not about the red or blue but more importantly the green.

[Its a Plant]

Most, if not all rappers aren't gangster at all.

I'll tell ya who was gangsta: Al muthafuckin' Capone.

Buncha wannabes now a days...

[cannabis campbell]

snoop, dre, suge knight, nate, 2pac theres gangsta

Difference between gangsta and gangster :p

[orangeman]

snoop, dre, suge knight, nate, 2pac theres gangsta

Difference between gangsta and gangster :p

2pac was just a wild man lol.

[WEsmokeED]

2pac was a prophet to the hood

[chronicnhash]

snoop, dre, suge knight, nate, 2pac theres gangsta

Difference between gangsta and gangster :p

ya, defeintly suge and 2pac, suge was runnin coke through la, started deathrow , and had bodyguards on deathrow that were LAPD officers, so they knew where the popes were at at all times when slangin. pretty gangsta

[Its a Plant]

snoop, dre, suge knight, nate, 2pac theres gangsta

Difference between gangsta and gangster :p
LOL ohhh but the jokes on you my friend...


Gangsta can refer to: Eye dialect/Slang for a member of a gang, a gangster.

Gangsta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsta)

Al Capone was the leader of a gang, funny enough....Muahaha I get the last laugh. You guys and your crap music...LOL j/k :jointsmile:

[higher4hockey]

al capone was a gangster. bugsy siegal was a gangster.

fifty cent is a rapper. there is a big difference.

[hotmom21]

:wtf:yep, he has been shot abunch of times, but could not show up on Conan Obrian because he was sick! bullets dont stop him but a cold does? WTF!:wtf3:

[PaRaNoIa]

Difference between gangsta and gangster :p

Yeah, those dumbasses wanted to have a cool word for morons..:p

[Frivolous248]

Kurtis jackson is a motherfuckin' punk. Thats right, I used his fuckin' slave name, "50 cent" is a fucking ridiculous stage name.

Dude doesn't even smoke weed.

[gmoney88]

fifty is a clown, only rappers that really put work in are suge knight,shyne,oschino,omillio sparks,BIG(not 2pac)

[Snake2389]

he is MTV Gangsta, and just because he got shot a couple of times, doesnt make him gangsta at all, just makes him lucky to be alive, meh, that luck will soon expire

[Jennifer K]

LOL ohhh but the jokes on you my friend...



Gangsta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangsta)

Al Capone was the leader of a gang, funny enough....Muahaha I get the last laugh. You guys and your crap music...LOL j/k :jointsmile:

Right on!:thumbsup: And the music is crappy. Not really very talented if you ask me. I don't think I've ever seen a rapper pick up and play any musical instrument. And the way they talk, hell what do they have their own language. Gangsta HA!!!!!:gunfighter2::stoned:

[BizzleLuvin]

i really wouldnt know gangsta if it fell on me....but i think he acts like it

[OniEhtRedrum781]

Curtis Jackson's a fuckin' snitch...

[greenvoodoo]

who knows, its probably an act

[hotmom21]

:clap:That one guy from Outcast can play the drums, gutair, and I think the sax.

[Straight Illin]

NWA 4 LYFE!

P.S. I don't even listen to rap and I know 50 percent is a joke!

[Frivolous248]

:clap:That one guy from Outcast can play the drums, gutair, and I think the sax.

Now thats straight up ballin', that dude is a gangsta.

[higher4hockey]

im not gonna lie, i dont really understand rap culture at all. basically (for lack of a better word) black culture is a total mystery to me.

[suhl]

if living a lie to make tens of millions of dollars is gangsta, then yes, he and every other successful rapper really are gangsta

[MacWQ33]

yea 50 cent aint gangster....

Lil Wayne is a gangster though cuz all he cares about is getting money. That the definition of a gangster in my opinion, not crips and bloods. Its not about the red or blue but more importantly the green.

Not sticking up for 50, but if that's your definition, he's worth about half a billion dollars...which is far more than Wayne and probably every member here combined...I don't necessarily like 50, but I don't disrespect success.

But I do agree that everyone has their own definition of 'gangsta'. Some say it's the money, some say the guns and drugs, some say gangs...I don't really know or care. We can talk shit all day, but he's still the one with the last laugh.

[Spoken Word]

hmm im kinda over the whole hip hop scene.. i barely listen to it but i've read a lot of bullshit towards rap on this here thread.
none of them can play instruments?
that's like saying all rockstars are junkies..
and lets be frank....metal isnt that much different than gangsta rap.. they're both FAR from good, structured music.

juss being honest.. music is my thing

[suhl]

well shit, listen to the expert. obviously we all need to just stop talking now because music is his thing and hes spoken.

and having more money doesnt mean you have the last laugh. that is how ebeneezer scrooge thought and he was a bitter unhappy prick. so basically if money makes you happy you are a soulless piece of shit who is no doubt going to rot in hell if it exists.

[Spoken Word]

no you can keep talking shit. and that's not what i meant. im far from an expert. but im flattered, thanks.

[gmoney88]

:stupid:

Said the broke bastard in the store looking at shit he can't buy as he turns to his friend...'Hey man, you got a single?' LOL! ;)

[zino11]

isnt he a snitch? that aint gangsta in my book

[suhl]

Said the broke bastard in the store looking at shit he can't buy as he turns to his friend...'Hey man, you got a single?' LOL! ;)

no it actually wasnt a joke, if money makes you happy you dont have a soul

have a good one:thumbsup:

[rebgirl420]

I dunno, that whole gangsta crap is lost on me

[Its a Plant]

LOL uhhh yeah mac...money isn't everything...

suhl 1, mac ZERO....back to your corners!

And as far as all these other definitions, lol, sure you can call a gangsta whatever you want, but the ACTUAL dictionary says otherwise....some people use dictionaries I dunno it's odd. :rolleyes:

[Not An Addict]

Al Capone is gangSTER
Tupac is gangSTA.
Difference.

[OniEhtRedrum781]

If you wanna hear real rap music, listen to bone thugs, eazy e, project pat, z-ro..... But please, no 50 Cent, thank you..

[Not An Addict]

:stupid:

LOL

[rebgirl420]

..Tony Saprano is gangsta, the guys in the movie Casino are gangsta. Maybe we should pit the REAL gangsta's against the new gangstas.

[Its a Plant]

Al Capone is gangSTER
Tupac is gangSTA.
Difference.
LOL NO, there's no difference my man. The only difference is pac is a rapper, that's all.

Please read this post from earlier haha...

You guys are friends in real life, so that's bias and doesn't count, plus he was wrong anyway. Forget about 50 Cent, but I didn't mean money is everything, although it is a great reward when you work hard for something and achieve it. There's a huge difference between Paris Hilton's money and your money Plant. If you become a millionaire, it's because you worked hard and defied the odds and pressure against you. You will then most likely enjoy life a bit more, thus MAYBE making you a TAD bit happier...how would that make you soul-less?

That's all I meant...should of added that you have to WORK for that so-called money.

[zino11]

bein a G dont always make you gangsta its more of a gang but capone lived the life of a gansta its what you do that portrays you as a gansta

[Its a Plant]

Haha no man, no bias...it's simple logic....have you not heard of Ebeneezer Scrooge? That should be all the proof we need...Money can't buy you happiness, plain and simple.

Confucius says admitting your wrong is the first step on the road to being right. :jointsmile:

[rebgirl420]

^^ I dunno buying clothes and such makes me happy! Shit, when my sunglasses came in the mail I damn near creamed myself.

[MacWQ33]

Nothing wrong over here at all. Maybe the word is acheivement? When you are rich [which you are not going to be with that attitude mister], come tell me you're unhappy and give me some more Christmas Carol proof and we'll call it a day. There's a million things in this world that make me happy at least...weed, beer, achievement, food, sex, money, beer and the things I buy with the money to name a few. And I guess I gotta go buy a soul now, dammit.

[rebgirl420]

hahaha yeah it did, but seriosuly, I was excited

Haha don't worry, I've already accepted the fact that I'll never have a lot of money...I'd rather be rich in other areas of my life...

In the meantime, me and 'ole Ebeneezer are hitting the town. :jointsmile:

[greenvoodoo]

all I know is with the way he looks, Im not going to challenge his gangstarosity

I'll toast to that...I don't turn legal age for a few weeks, but when I do...me you and Mr. Scrooge gotta get together for a good time in the city. It's on me...making other people happy makes me happy.

[Mike23artist]

i wish one of those bullets would have hit him in the head in da club plezzaz gimme some classic rock

Thats true, hes successful and rich as fuck no one can say anything against that hes definately at the top

[gmoney88]

2pac not no thug, growin up he was in ballet, and in the drama class n shit, he waited til he was a grown ass man to claim he was a g

[slipknotpsycho]

i can't beleive you even wasted thread space on asking this question...


100% fucking poser.... he actually makes me sicker then paris hilton does... he's the wosrt breed of celebrity.... a lil bitch who thinks he's hard and builds their entire carareer off one single point of thier life...


"i got shot 9 times" or w/e the fuck it is...

i'd kick his ass in the bals and i bet he teared up quicker then paris in the back of the police car.

[PaRRoTT]

2pac not no thug, growin up he was in ballet, and in the drama class n shit, he waited til he was a grown ass man to claim he was a g

i bet he can dance circles around biggie's fat ass though.

anyway i dont think any rappers at the present are gangsta besides i dont listen to ones music because they are gangsta all i care about are beats and there rymes.

[the yeag]

well there is a lot of tough talk here.....I know for a fact that fifty pennies would scare the shit out of most of you silver spoon fed white kids... I dislike his music...his movie was OK. I am not bragging but anyone who is from the hood is scary as shit. when you are dealing with people who have to hustle to live ...not live to hustle , you will understand. I tried that life twice years ago and recently... take it from an old retired grown ~G~ it is not glamorous or fun....anyone who wants my old grind down Fulton industrial at club wax can have it.....I would give most of you five minutes tops before you ran scared...the rest would not even get out of your cars......... 2pac was not gangster he was poor....he had a hustle for a minute but so do most people that grow up like him....then he got established and made a little money and had a lot of real gangster friends.....and anyone who thought that shit between him and Biggie was real.... is a fool..it was publicity for the most part.

please tell me you, you aren't saying i'd be scared of 50 cent... sorry, posers don't strike fear in me i don't care how many hanging sit ups they can do in a video or how many times they're claimed to of been shot...

I do not know you or fifty pennies....but yeah I think with all the stereo types out there he would scare the shit out of you . most middle class ----upperclass whites are scared of uneducated blacks. I always say you can't reason with stuipid...trust me if you piss off an angary uneducated man he will always strike out because he can't argue on the same level with you.

Really, people in america have no clue what a ghetto or poor is let fifty run around jamaicas ghettos for a minute and he'll run back to america and go window shopping or w/e this dude does, i would even say england has it rougher ,you know what my mom got for her birthday one year growing up in england? a doll with the hair singed off that her mom made clothes for. at least these "ghetto kids" run around in jordans and not shoes with the soles competely wore off, id say everyone here should feel real lucky....i could go on and on but i wont.

err, well i guess i can understand your reasoning, but i am kind of psycho.... and i'm not even middle class... if i had to fall into some white catagorey it'd be drunk white trash, and as we all know, alcohol is liquid courage....

i can honestly say he wouldn't intimidate me... could just be the media attention, i dunno who he is outside of that, but from what i've seen, he's a poser... seems to me he'd call his security gaurds on me before dealing with me hand and hand...

that's just my take on him...

btw, i'm not exactly educated either :thumbsup: i'm trailer trash... not something to be exactly proud of, but it is all true. i tend to get more phyiscal, then deal with things in an 'educated manor'

[orangeman]

im not gonna lie, i dont really understand rap culture at all. basically (for lack of a better word) black culture is a total mystery to me.

Lol I'm the same about some asian things...not trying to start any race thing or nothing like that but some times that Japanese entertainment confuses me.

there is always someone who has it worse out there.... we were talking about america..anyway of course your correct anywhere there is a lack of education, healthcare, food and shelter... there will be violence. shit i could of said put those jamacians in the middle of africa with the R.U.F and see who wins.

[MinusRyan]

money man, money man, it's still the same nowww

[zino11]

most kids in our hoods bought them jordans with money they hustled we have it very rough here and im tired of people sayin we dont ive had a shitty life my self and had to hustle through all of it, my first pair of jordans I bought for my self with money I made not my parents and i was only 10

[slipknotpsycho]

so instead of spending your money on something worthwhile, maybe even to help contribute to you getting out of said shitty situation, you spend it on shoes....

hmm.... makes sense to me :rolleyes:

[zino11]

trust me i bought plenty more things but you need somethin on your feet dont you?

[the yeag]

you dont get it man...not everyone can afford antidepressants as a child


If you aint grinding then you aint shining if you aint shining ....then your dying

[slipknotpsycho]

you dont get it man...not everyone can afford antidepressants as a child

LOL! you think i could? seriously you think i had those? only time ihad those was when my mom wanted to be a mom for a couple of months, when i got locked up, and for like the first two months of having the gold card (that stupid doctor don't listen when i tell her it don't work)

other then that, i was on my own....


i just think it's funny no one these days can believe a white boy had a fucked up ass stressful life and had no help throughout their life... so i ain't got brown skin? i couldn't have possibly had it just as bad as anyone in the 'ghetto' ?

[the yeag]

i am white...you misunderstood me..i forgot about your problems . i did not meen you when i said antidepressents..i just ment it is a way to feel better about yourself and your suroundings.....no different than these soccer moms and there retail therepy

[zino11]

im white just with a lil color

[PaRRoTT]

Im probley going to regret saying this but......here it goes , black people (even though slavery was fucked up) should be thankfull that we brought them here, africa is way worse than here.....so instead of hustlin, or gangbanging why not take advantage of what we have given like education....and job oppurtunties.

[the yeag]

haha, Lil Wayne is a Homosexual. :wtf:



so homo's cant be gangster ?

[slipknotpsycho]

btw, all this was started before any replies after my last post, i just figured i might as well go ahead and break it down... and knew i wouldn't be done by the edit time limit.


err.. ok lemme break it down for you...

lucky to have one meal a day, and it was never anything good... to my grandma a meal was any type fo food... so once a day i might get a burger, or be served pinto beans... tv dinner, pot pie..... it was never enough to be nutriotional and never enough to take away the nauseating hunger...

clothes: never naything that fit and as a matter of fact, my grandma would only make sure i had a 'weeks' worth the shirts (7 days) prollly even less pairs of underwear, and like 2 pairs of pants and 2 pairs of shorts... wearing the same shoes (never name brand btw) til they were falling apart... and socks were but aluxury...

doctors/medicine? shit, i hate to steal some comedians shit, but it's literal... only changed a bit.... "nyquil better cure whatever you have" (instead of robo tussin) dentists? or any other 'health' professional? welll i'm 21 and have no teeth in my mouth, take your guess at how that urned out...

bills? shit... you know how they say 'blacks' won't pay attention to bills until they get the pink notices? to my grandparents that's nothing.... id' go months wihtout water/gas/ w/e... ever taken a bath by heating up water on a stove (we did it on a propane stove at that)? you get about an inch deep of water if you're lucky, cuz after that th ewater will just start cooling down again.

living conditions? don't even get me started... the house i live in now, half the walls around ht ebathtub are eaten away by termites, less than 50% of the house has windows (boards/tarp/even cardboard has been usd to fill in those spaces) we just had to lay down a 3/4 inch thick sheet of plywood down in the kitchen becuase the floor was about ot fall through, and about a year or so ago our toilet was a damn 48 qt or so cooler with a toilet seat just balancing over it cuz our toilet got cracked and had to be replaced... bfore that the floor around it was falling in and just sitting on it threatened to send you through the floor...

you think cuz i'm white i had some easy ass 'perfect' life? get real... i had it worse then most 'ghetto' kids had it..

[slipknotpsycho]

oh i dunno <.< it kinda is hard to just 'forget' about the 'worthless' mindset our ancestors have embedded in... soem do take advantage of it... but alot (understandably) still seem to think 'we' hold them back... just an observation made by me...

i honestly don't beleive in color.. but if you look at the ones who feel persectued, they do seem to still believe in it... i dunno if that makes sense...

[zino11]

so why didnt you try to make better for your self mmm... i did, struggle is struggle no matter where your from and i know that, i got trailer park friends and friends that have been homeless but what we did was help ourselves and our familys and thats how it is you have to step up to responsibilities that some parents leave to us GET MONEY

poverty is colorblind...true...i was brought up similar. i just got sick of having smelly ass l.a. gear shoes and nut hugger jeans. so i went out and hustled...not robbed but hustled. to buy deoderant , food , pay for sports in school. well and a gold chain and a cool as mongoose bike with pegs...but hey it was 92

[slipknotpsycho]

i am making it better for myself... i eat more than once a day, i have more that just a few shirts and pants, and we're even doing this with a child...

i ain't never said you had to come up after one day, but i don' twanna hear about being in the 'ghetto' if you're wearing jordans and shit..

we are constantly working towards a better life then i grew up with..

[the yeag]

goodnight...i'm going to turn off my commodore 64 and go sleep in my sleeping bag in my 74 gremlin that is on blocks....sweet dreamz

[slipknotpsycho]

goodnight...i'm going to turn off my commodore 64 and go sleep in my sleeping bag in my 74 gremlin that is on blocks....sweet dreamz

lol :rolleyes:

[zino11]

yet you got internet?

[zino11]

are you serious?

[slipknotpsycho]

yet you got internet?

lol yes i have internet?

i never said you had to spend every penny bettering yourself....

but when i see 'ghetto' people around here what do i see? expensive jewelry, expensive shoes, expensive clothes, even rims and expensive cars...

yet they bitch about how bad their life is... about how they can't even afford to eat and can't find a job etc...

again... if you're wearing fubu, jordans, gold, or any of that, i really don't wanna hear about how you have it so bad... cuz none of that shit is cheap by any means or in any way...


but then again, i guess cuz i called you out on the jordans you're just continue to try and find a way to 'prove me wrong' so to speak (or call my shit if you prefer that) but i'm not up for this back and fourth game tonight.

eitherway i've made my point.

What is your defanition of a gangsta?

Id wouldent say Five O (50cent) was gangsta back in the day, But a wise street Hustler. He was running major crack deals, running a whole strip in jamica queens, driving mercs at early age, having lots of money etc..

What is your defanition of a gangsta?
Real gangsta's are the likes of bugsy sigal, al copone, pablo escobar.

Would people also say BMF (BLACK MAFIA FAMILY) are gangsta? Black Mafia Family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMF)

i think a G is someone who has fears but puts them aside when courage is needed, the most important things to him are first loyalty and second money, does watever necessary to make a dollar but has morals and values. these however can also b put aside in the pursuit ir money and power. A Gangsta however is just a label of a person who falls into the catagories and aspects u have established for the term.

fuck that shit.. it's short-minded

all the power and respect in the world is useless if your dead.


real "gangstas" dont want to be gangstas.. they are cause they have no choice...and know nothing else..

that goes for your idols: al capone, bugsy siegel, gotti..
and also the ghetto gangsters...

if you WANT that life, you're fuckin stupid and need to be shot right now.

word i know exactly what your saying...
i wasnt grown up in the "hood" but i know that a lot of times gangs are the only way, cuz there are some places in cali for instance that if you wear the wrong color your dead so you need that protection... also a lot of the hustlers, thats just what they grow up around and for lack of better words thats what they know best....
a lot of rappers are fake as fuck these days, but who the hell cares?? as long as they make good music and their lyrics are tight who cares?? they are makin their money just like the rest of us but a lot more of it...

50 a gangsta?? honestly i cant answer that because i dont know the dude, what i do know is that he grew up and his mother was a drug dealer, she died in a bad drug deal or somethin and he needed money and wanted to get outta his uncles house and hustlin made sense to him, it was also quick cash....

and why are you guys sayin 50 a snitch??

if yall wanna look at a fake "g" look at the game... nuf said...

50 cent can never be compared to 2pac. 2pac was the greatest and he made songs that you can really relate to.

[FakeBoobsRule]

I don't know if he is or isn't but he is lucky or a good businessman. He put his name on a bottle of Vitamin Water and they gave him 5% of the company. Coca-Cola just bought the parent company of Vitamin Water last week or the week before for $4.1 Billion. That comes out to a little over a cool $100 million for doing nothing. Lucky son of a bitch! Unbelievable!

Lol that wont work.

[AR15]

50 Cent a gangsta? No.

(and by "gangsta", I guess you could say modern day gangster)

examples of gangsta rappers:

We'll start off with this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG_gHY5u5Ok)

Straight Outta Hunters Point (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2nqOds6YgM)

Killas By the Dozen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW-spG1MKfw) (and those are nortenos, not bloods, don't get it twisted, there's a HUGE difference)

Politican (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KofQF_2AtII)


And if you're really gonna say 50's not gangsta and are going to say so and so is, please, don't list mainstream rappers. Chances are, when a rapper goes mainstream, they lose the gangsta aspect of their lives over time. Not all cases, but I'd say a good majority. Mainstream entails lots of money, and usually they're living in a mansion out of their ghetto and leading a celebrity life.

[the yeag]

GAME-OVER

[the yeag]

HERE ARE TWO REAL G'S MJG & EIGHT BALL:jointsmile:

[MacWQ33]

I think all rapper live out of the ghetto in a mansion lol, I dont think any of them still live there.

Exactly...they don't still live there, because their initial goal was to get out of there. I would imagine most started getting into music from a young age, wanting to better thier life and/or be heard. Is it a coinincidence that a lot of actors/actresses and musician's grew up in 'not-so-good' situations? I think it has something to do with the fact that they didn't have anything to be proud of when young, so they wanted a much better lifestyle along with respect, and the finances to be good. That's why I don't except the 'selling out' factor...Yes, some have sold out and some have made good business moves...Some rappers are in it all for the money...do I think that's a bad thing? Not really, although I feel like everyone in the fact that people with no skill should get no loot, but a lot of people are just smart...I cannot say I am in the public eye...and there are ridiculous acts that are...it's crazy...but many people settle for less...thinking they don't have what it takes to make it big...many underground artist's could go public [most don't want to], but a lot wouldn't sell based on their content...it sucks, that's why everyone likes underground, but those people don't realize that some "mainstream" artists are there for a reason. The reason I don't consider 'mainstream' and 'independant' is because Jay, Em, and Nas [my favorite 3] were all underground at one point. Not in the sense that they were independant [well, Jigga started his own label and that seemed to have paid off]. But Em freestyled his way to the top, and Nas' first album was one of the best of all time. I guess peope would would consider him "mainstream" nowadays...but a lot of music fans may not even know who he is...which is a big reason why I don't say 'mainstream' and 'underground'.

I know I have what it takes...I've come to agree very much with 50 Cent on one thing...get rich or die trying...it doesn't make you soul-less, it just makes everything else easier...if money is an issue for anything...live will pose possible problems. I have a great soul, and I just want to make life as perfect as possible.

That's how I feel...I didn't grow up in the best circumstance...and it's a great motivation to just do better. I am a very happy person in a 'not-so-good' situation, but I strive to do better...not based on myself...but my mother and shitload of cousins, other relatives, and friends. I would love to have the financial stability to pay for my cousin's [there are many of them] college along with the ability to give close friend's money if they needed it.

Someone said here that if 'money makes you happy, you are soul-less...I disagree even though I know what he's trying to say. I know that some people are like that...but people like myself are basically looking forward to something. I've never lived in a house or had my own car...I have some great things to look forward to, and the only thing that can help me in those aspects is money.

Money is the root of all evil. But, that evil is here to stay, and it's one of the

[MacWQ33]

Money is the root of all evil. But, that evil is here to stay, and it's one of the faults of this world, but there is money in this world...and to better deal with certain problems, get as much as you can get IMO...recently it was said..."More money, more checks, 6 pairs of kicks is my definition of 12 Steps"...some people love money...it's like weed...it can solve a lot of problems, but still it can knock a few people off track...but it you listen to the music, I don't see how you could be on trail to fail after seeing these people who made it [QUOTE]

[budsmoker only]

damn mac...
you make a lot of sense... i like what your saying..

and to cannabis campbell most of them dont live in the "ghetto" anymore cuz they dont want to, like mac said they rap to get out of that life because the hood isnt really all that glamorous i bet...

its funny tho, because if they stay in the hood people call them poor... but if they move outta the hood then they are considered soft a lot of the time.... its kinda fucked up..

[Nochowderforyou]

Yeah, 50 cent sucks, and is a butt ugly mofo too! He looks like one of the apes that didn't evolve into a human being.

[Skrappie]

You know i don't care much for him myself. He's a generic black rapper guy who talks like he has a pen(is mighiter then the sword) down hes throat.

But he did get shot a few times which is rather neat i guess.

[cannabis campbell]

anyone can get shot though lol

doesnt really make you a gangster, makes you a victim

The person who shot him was probably a gangster lol

[Its a Plant]

50 sold out plain and simple. He's all over everything in America...from colognes to magazines....it's just not something I can respect. He's one of those guys that will do an ad for butter if they pay him enough...come on, have a little self-respect ya wanksta! :p

Doing anything for money and having the right gimmick at the right time is what made him who he is. Materialistic peeps bug the shit outta me though. LOL and of course he has to constantly fall back on his one shining moment as a gangsta getting shot like 8 times in the face. ~

[cannabis campbell]

Actually 9 times

But lol yeah have to agree with you

[chronicnhash]

the whiole reason u know fifty is cuz of in da club... which was a dr dre beat that was supposed to go to d 12 but they didnt want it so 5-0 took it. anyone could of been the next 50 it was just that beat was so hard. so lets leave it at fuck 50 cent aka hip hops worst nightmare

that is not the only reason people know him... sure that was his first single and shit but his first album was the shit... most people say that its badass.... and it wasnt just the beat, thats just ignorant as fuck....

quit riding games dick...

[chronicnhash]

lol this has nothin to do with the game, 50's only good albums were guess whos back and get rich or die trying. dont worry man i used to looove 50 and always play that shit, i still do play his older music. i just dont think what he is now adays, is anything he used to be.

ooo ok word...

my bad dude...

i agree fifty isnt what he used to be, but i think thats the case with a lot of rappers, the industry changes, and sometimes they just gotta change to sell more records and shit...
is the album guess whos back a mixtape or what?? dont think i eva heard of it..

[cannabis campbell]

you can easily get it from the internet

[JaMakin07]

yes hes gangster, hes from jamaica queens, hes been to jail and he said that if his music didnt blow up he would keep selling drugs and kill the guy that shot him

[budsmoker only]

^^
you can get anything from the net... haha..

[chronicnhash]

its an underground album, it has some pretty dope songs on it.
yah i know exactly what your talkin about, thats why i pretty much hate everyone "rapping" right now, i just thought 50 could rise above all that

[Peruvian Devil]

i bet he can dance circles around biggie's fat ass though

HOLD UP, did you just try to diss Biggie??? i have never met anyone on their right mind who would do that.

And also, ya were are confusing poverty with being gangster, being poop just makes you poor, it doesn't mean your tough or you can beat anyone up, it just means that you can tolerate things that people of higher income would not. Being gangster, means you are a badass mothafuka who will kill anybody that gets in the way of making money, weather you were poor or rich doesn't matter, althought most individuals tend to come from poverty because its easier to get involved in crime and there is the street smartness. Anyways i don't even care all i wanted was to point out is that guy trying to get at Biggie, as far as 50 goes, just know his real name, one must have a gangster name in order to be one, thats just how it goes

[geonagual]

It is all commercialism at its finest...and as usual the masses follow like sheep...

[420marijuana420]

isnt he a snitch? that aint gangsta in my book

sorta, ill tell you what happened and you can make what you want of it.
When 50 was coming up and becoming mainstream one of his songs on one of his very first albums was called ghetto quar'n and he talked about the stree life and how he used to do business. He also dropped a lot of names of colleagues he used to work with. Everyone in his old hood hates him and he won't even go back to visit because he's afraid. SO ya i guess he is a snitch. but he didnt rat to the police to get time off or anything.

[420marijuana420]

well there is a lot of tough talk here.....I know for a fact that fifty pennies would scare the shit out of most of you silver spoon fed white kids... I dislike his music...his movie was OK. I am not bragging but anyone who is from the hood is scary as shit. when you are dealing with people who have to hustle to live ...not live to hustle , you will understand. I tried that life twice years ago and recently... take it from an old retired grown ~G~ it is not glamorous or fun....anyone who wants my old grind down Fulton industrial at club wax can have it.....I would give most of you five minutes tops before you ran scared...the rest would not even get out of your cars......... 2pac was not gangster he was poor....he had a hustle for a minute but so do most people that grow up like him....then he got established and made a little money and had a lot of real gangster friends.....and anyone who thought that shit between him and Biggie was real.... is a fool..it was publicity for the most part.

Well they really must have been dedicated to that publicity story since they BOTH DIED OVER IT wth

[Breukelen advocaat]

People with a ghetto mentality tend to spend all of their money by wearing gold jewelry and driving expensive cars - they don't save for the future. The smarter "rappers" that come from not-so-bad to good economic backgrounds, and even some that came up from poverty, act like this in public - but have other investment plans behind the scenes. If they took off the gold and ditched the slum-orientated "glamor" their fans, including middle-class wannabe kids, wouldn't be interested anymore. That's why the whole thing is dishonest and stupid. I'm sorry to say that a lot of it started in the city that I grew up in, including Murder Inc. and other organized crime.

[on_second_thought]

yea 50 cent aint gangster....

Lil Wayne is a gangster though cuz all he cares about is getting money. That the definition of a gangster in my opinion, not crips and bloods. Its not about the red or blue but more importantly the green.

i heard that lil wayne shot himself so he could look "gangsta". like went as far as to research it. where he could shoot himself that would look good, but not kill him either. whoever told me that said that he admitted it in an interview somewhere. i dunno. but i think he's a fag anyway. always sounds like he's got his nose pinched shut.



and no.... 50 ain't "gangsta"

[420marijuana420]

The game would be lucky to give 50 a rusty trombone

Biggy sucks and pac will always be the best.

No 50 isn't gangster, he's corporate but he's just trying to get money like everyone else. The music is still good

The game has only made one good song in his life:
hate it or love it
