So it looks like 50 Cent isn't gonna make music anymore!

Why wouldn't you listen to it? It's a great album...the production is unreal. I've seen you post about underground hip-hop...that shit isn't in the same universe as this music.



There's really nothing to think about. I don't see why people don't get the fact that they told the public this is a friendly competition and that it's good for hip-hop, but they also acknowledged a lot of it is marketing. It's not a secret plan. They are good with each other...Kanye even did a track for 50's next album.

Same thing with 50 not making anymore solo albums. He said a few days later that it was more of a joke. The guy isn't as serious as everyone thinks...he's actually a funny guy in real life. Cocky? Maybe...probably more just confidence, and how could you blame him.

I just don't feel his stuff. I acknowledge he's incredibly talented at producing, probably the best since Dre, but that doesn't equate me totally feeling it. I enjoy some of his works, notably College Dropout, it the way he flows. His voice, and his pitch is not nearly as great as his producing skills, and it turns me off his amazing beats. If it was 100% instrumental, I would be more inclined to listen to it.

I don't exactly follow entertainment news, only bits and pieces. I haven't heard the whole story, but 50 went out and made a bold statement. You can expect some to hold him to his word.

They're both as shit as each other in my opinion. It's a shame one of those 9 bullets didnt get him in the head - although theres so little in there i dont think it would have even killed him.

I dunno, I guess I stopped feeling 50 after I found out that he's never smoked weed before. I mean its cool if you don't but why make a bunch of songs about being high all the time if you've never smoked, thats just fake as hell. So I guess I stopped really listening to him then.

from a article :

Yet Fifty's rough image got him here. His two albums have sold over 20 million discs worldwide in spite of their graphic realism--or more likely because of it. And the threatening facade, these days, is more marketing than reality. In person, despite his imposing 6-foot frame and bulging biceps from daily workouts, he is polite, soft-spoken, thoughtful. He insists he lives a quiet life, rarely goes out partying, won't use narcotics or smoke pot (despite his ode to weed, "High All the Time") and eschews alcohol. Onstage, he guzzles from a Hennessy bottle. His fans don't know it holds only iced tea......

50 Cent won't retire, he "took back" what he said.
Graduation is a much better album than Curtis, imho. Curtis has it's moments, but I don't think 50 can beat his first album. Graduation is an excellent record, although I have to say, collaborating with Lil Wayne wasn't a good move in my book, Lil Wayne is a horrible rapper. His verse in "Barry Bonds" is probably the worst I've ever heard.

Anyway, I'm high and feel like I'm rambling, so I'll stop.

I prefer 50 to kanye. 50's rich, he made his money, he survived, good for him.

I wanted Kanye to win just cause I like his style... but he really doesn't need anything else to boost his ego.
