utter crap.

He should pay me to not punch him in the 'nads repeatedly.

xtonyx: utter crap.

"What is 50 Cent's rap career."

"I'll take 'The Rapists' for $500."

You know what would be a great service by 50 Cent to America?

Not releasing another album at all.

 
Julieahni [TotalFark] 2008-11-15 05:08:06 PM  
Or just lower the price?

 
F-bear [TotalFark] 2008-11-15 05:14:02 PM  
I think his current value in the market is about 30 Cent.

I'm guessing(hoping)that the hero tag is sarcastic

What a nice guy.

Ever wonder why it's called a drop dead date? Let's find out.

This.

Too bad we don't have time travel. Perhaps we could encourage him not to release his scourge upon us in the beginning by telling him he single-handedly caused an economic crisis by releasing over-priced shiat to the masses.

Give the man some props: doubtless he knows he has a turd bundle
on his hands, and even if he can't rap worth a damn, he's creative
enough to exploit the oncoming recession to save himself some
embarassment.

 
groverXIII 2008-11-15 06:32:03 PM  
He could just release on the internet for free...

In other words, it ain't ready.

Not to turn philosophical, but is crap really ever ready?

Pretentious: (adj.) Being under the impression that one's rap album would qualify as a necessity for the public.

Perhaps he could shoot himself, he's been shot so many times its bound to work this time around.

Devil's advocate: ...

Eh, I got nothin.

I like hip-hop, but I hate rap.

One great thing about the world economic collapse: rap focusing upon materialistic gains may fade away.

 
solyhhit [TotalFark] 2008-11-15 11:23:35 PM  
That was complete and utter bullshiat.

 
TheJoe03 [TotalFark] 2008-11-16 03:12:41 AM  
As a diehard hip-hop head I have to say that 50 Cent represents everything I hate about rap right now. 50 is like the black Vanilla Ice. Hold up, I think Soulja Boy is the black Vanilla Ice with even less skill. Either way 50 is the George Bush of rap. The idiots love him but the real hip-hop fans think he sucks. He had potential when he was still underground but he has gone to shiat. He thinks G-Unit is the new Wu-Tang, but Wu's weakest member would MURK G-Unit's best guy.

And the Douchebag of the Day award goes to ... "50 Cent".

 
Wolf Flywheel 2008-11-16 10:58:45 AM  
Am I too late for the 'my favorite "underground" rapper is better and more obscure than yours' contest?

 
MikoSquiz 2008-11-16 07:48:48 PM  
You don't have any fans any more, Twenny.

Also, dude. Puff Daddy is the black Vanilla Ice. Twenny Cent's actually less talented than that.

SU: One great thing about the world economic collapse: rap focusing upon materialistic gains may fade away.

Suuuuuuure it will. Lyrical references to Cristal will get replaced by Baby Duck, and songs will be renamed accordingly ("Get Solvent or Die Tryin'"?).

Could it be that retailers are not making enough money and they asked him to hold off on a new release?

I've got a family member who works at a book/music store.... they have told me a hand full of stories about 50c (and other thugs)... it appears that many of his ardent fans leave something to be desired in the morals department. Some rapper came out with a book last summer that set new records in shrink throughout a national chain.... something like 70% of the copies were stolen.

If you cater to thugs, you get thugs.

So there is at least an upside to this Recession.
