how can lyrics as such be top seller... for any amount of time?... [-peep-], i'm wasting my life trying to be a hard working man. i should go make lyrics like this that no one can relate to and make millions of dollars.... WTF is this schit? some guy calling himself 50cent (why only half a dollar??) who only sees a material world, now thats deep. does the guy rap about anything else other than fukcing women, smoking dope, shooting niggas, and driving late model gas guzzlers?

man, if i got shot 9 times and survived i'd probably be a little more open-minded. this guy went dumber. i searched through most of his lyrics... its all the same. its all him rapping about how much money he has, how many women he has, how much crack he has, and other useless material. how is anyone supposed to relate to that? how the hell does he sell records? what kind of people are actually buying this crap? i'm almost certain that the average IQ of those people who pay for "music" as such is lower that the average persons IQ. i mean holy fukcing schit! i'm so dumbfounded.




Nobody likes me
Nobody likes me, but that's okay
Cuz I don't like y'all anyway
...And I don't like y'all anyway
F**k all y'all!!
My watch talk for me, my whip talk for me
My gat talk for me
BLAT! Wutup homie
For bitches who don't know me
...They wanna blow me cuz the [-peep-] I floss wit sayin a lot for
me

I came into rap humble, I don't give a f**k now
Serve anybody like niggas who hustle uptown
Coke price go up, cats is come down
The D's run in my crib, I'm nowhere to be found
The bitch who hustle for me, they dont even stash tracks
They keep it on em, right there in they ass crack
When I don't like a [-peep-], I don't pretend to
I'll have the paramedics wrap your f**kin head like a Hindu
Look, I ain't goin nowhere, so get used to me
OG's look at me and see what they used to be
I'm that [-peep-] that sold coke, the [-peep-] that sold dope
The [-peep-] that shot Dice when he broke to So So
The thug, they pop [-peep-]
The thug that pop clips
The thug that went from three and a half to whole bricks
[-peep-] ain't in his right mind, goin against me
My picture's painted through words that make a blind man see

[Hook]
Scream murder! (I don't believe you!)
Murder! (F**k around and leave you!)
Murder! (I don't believe you!)
Murder, murder! (Your life's on the line!)

Y'all niggas don't want no parts of me
I'm tryna figure out how y'all started me
Make me catch her on the late night
Pop shots wit the fifth and slide off wit the six

I'm not a marksmen while spark issue, I spray random
Not a pretty [-peep-] but my moms think I'm handsome
I hate to hear "He say, She say" [-peep-]
Unless he say she say she on my dick
It's no coincidence, niggas who f**k wit me get shot up
I do a Cali style drive by and tear ya block up
You soft through, be puttin up a crazy front
I stay wit the Mac, cuz niggas tried to blaze me once
In the hood they be like, "Damn, 50 really spitted on em"
"You heard that [-peep-]?" "Yeah, 50 really shitted on em"
Beef, you don't want none, so don't start none
You just a small player in this game, play a part son

[Hook]

These cats always escape reality when they rhyme
That's why they write about bricks and only dealt wit dimes
Leave it to them, and they say they got a fast car
Nascar, truck wit a crash bar
And TV's in the dash, pa
See em in the five wit stock rims, I just laugh, pa
I catch stunts when I ain't tryin
I ain't lyin, I sit Don P til I split up
Keep my rent split up
Get outta line, I get you hit up (Wooo!)
Now if you say my name in your rhyme, watch what you say
You get carried away, you can get shot and carried away
Now here's a list of MC's that can kill you in eight bars:
50, umm Jay-Z and Nas
I'ma say this [-peep-] now and never again
We ain't buddies, we ain't partners and we damn sure ain't
friends
The games you playin, you get killed like that
Actin like you all hard, you ain't built like that
See me when you see me [-peep-], one
(One)

[Hook]

Y'all niggas don't want no parts of me
I'm tryna figure out how y'all started me
You gon make me catch her on the late night
Pop shots wit the fifth and slide off wit the six

i'm seriously confused though, i seriously mean it, why do people buy record with his crap on there... do they enjoy hearing some guys life story and how he lives his life....???? the funny thing is the most of the guys who i see listening to his music can't afford to pay their rent or buy a car that runs, but they have the latest stereo and the heaviest gold chain.... WTF? do they think they are 50cent? who would want to be him.

boy, things i see and can't find logic in really bother me. i can't figure this out! help!

What really annoys me is that he claims he's been shot so many times, so obviously he's pissed a lot of people of. So why didn't they hang around to finish the job? Bloody amatuers. He deserves a double tap more than anyone.

Hmm, can I apply this to Rich's hypothetical question thread?

i really dont know how people can listen to that crap. 90% of all rap has nothing that can separate it from the rest of the 90%. sure rapping and sounding good is not somthing most people can do but all it really takes is practice, not tallent. all you need is a lot of time on your hands walking down the street rapping like some one wants to hear what you have to say. eventually you will sound just like that 90% on the radio and some exec will see you and think you look just like some other dick that is making him millions and think of you as another couple million. he takes you out of the ghetto, gives you fast cars and sluts all around you and bingo your on the radio. then once you are no longer the flavor of the week you fade into nothing and are basicaly left to fend for yourself. at that point if you dont have a ton of money to keep that image up for yourself you disapear. there are the rare cases where they actually do have tallent and they are successfull on their own.

Cause people are stupid.

Charleton Heston gave a speech in 99 to Harvard grads about Time Warner endoring Ice Cube's lyrics.. they later dropped him off their record because of his words.. talking about killing cops.

Unfortunately, it's free speech. While we can't argue that, I think it should be illegal to distribute and charge for it. I don't think these companies or individuals should be able to do that stuff; it has a huge negative effect on people. The only people who are buying this [-peep-] are the idiots and people who are going nowhere in their life. They don't know any better.. most are buying it without realizing what they're saying.. they like the beat because they're morons.

I don't like rap because it's all crap.. find me a worthwhile song that isn't about sex, drugs, or killing/hurting people.

Yeah, it's the life they grew up in.. it's all a bunch of wanna be ganstas now.. just like Basketball.

They're paid all this money for crap.. and they do it for money. It's teaching everyone the wrong stuff.. basketball and rap are the only ways a lot of people think they can make a living.. and unfortunately it tagets the young black male audience.. which doesn't help.

Which also explains a higher increase in crime with young black men. Music is the major medium that influences.. and it's all because those who are pawning this [-peep-] out of stores have no business ethics or respect for what they sell.. it's all about the money today.

So, why not tell us why you bought it?

I think it's fair to say that people that are buying this stuff are idiots.

Just like people who tend to watch reality TV have lesser IQs than those who don't, which was proven in a study.

There are always exceptions.. but speaking from my experiences, I haven't seen a successful businessman driving down the street listening to 50cent..

The closest thing I see is some trendy person driving their SUV with spinners looking for people to sell drugs to.

You do the figuring.. I don't know you personally.. so I can generalize all I want when I hit a good portion of it on the head.



Edit:

And I'm not hitting 'rap' as all the same. I'm talking about the stuff that focuses on all about all the money they have, the women, drugs, and such. There are good songs out there worthwhile.. but the crap that is selling today isn't worthwhile.


Look at ICP.. what the hell was up with that? Years before they used to sell about cleaning up pollution in the ghetto in Detroit.. but they sold out so they could make some money because people would rather listen to stupid stuff on their sick childish (this will attract a certain Forum-molesting-prowler) level than listen to something that is worthwhile.

At least your money didn't go into it.. haha

That's all I'm saying.. that kind of stuff shouldn't be distributed and sold.. if it's out there via other channels and people aren't making millions off it.. or download it for a dollar.. not the 14-18 dollars for a CD..

they shouldn't be allowed to market that stuff because people have the mentality that if it's in a store it's ok.. people have problems thinking and reasoning for themselves.. if that wasn't the case, we wouldn't see commercials and such telling us how great a product is..

What I think is real funny, is the white boy fans with their jeans to their knees thinking that the ladies love so see their boxers! An even better is seeing these dumbasses at construction sites like this, and thier white boxers are all brown from work!

But I like some rap if it is good. Push it, Push it real good!

I wouldn't classify all Rap as bad, I'm an old school rap fan myself, this is whats called gangster rap, and someone really does need to be paying serious attention to what he's putting on the market.

I understand your meaning of the word moron but there are a lot of people that do listen to his music, I don't know why anyone would actually pay money for his music, but my brother in law let me listen to some of 50cent's music to see if I wanted to add his music to my Mobile DJ database.

Well after actually listening to him, I told my brother in law, " No offence but I cannot and will not play this kind of music at a party period, especially with children present!!! As a matter of fact I'll give up being a Mobile DJ before I will play this crap!"

Theres been so many people in the past that have gone out and committed horrible crimes blaming it on some types of music, but this type of music listened to on a regular basis is almost guaranteed to produce negative results.

I like rap (not all artists and not all songs), and aparently a lot of people likes rap. In the link I gave you it says the date when this album was certified 9 Platinum. How much do you need to sell for 1 platinum? 1 million?
And this is only counting the ones sold. I ripped mine from my friend's CD and I usually only get the songs that I like.

I agree that hardly any rap song has a message, but there are some.
Like:
2 Pac - Brenda's Got A Baby.
Wyclef Jean - Perfect Gentleman (I don't think there's any swearing in this one.)
I also like: 2 Pac - Until The End Of Time (I think this one is clean also.)

I like rap just for fun (And some good beats) if I was looking for a message I'll listen to gospel.

Man, you've got into th DJ thing big time....

Let me give you a little advice, go to 100, 200 parties & they're all the same..... It gets real old, real fast... No pissing on anybodies Cheerio's or anything.....

I used to do wedding photography.... Color Dark Room, half a dozen lenses, 3 different camera bodies, vid cam, 4 or 5 fill flashes..... When I'd seen enough weddings, was about 400 to 500.... They're all the same, same poses, same settings.... Got way booring.... Although I made a lot of cash.... [shrug]

I sold off my assets & forgot about it completly... I still get calls to do weddings though.... Of course I'd bought my stuff from profits on weddings... Your going the other way around....

Good Luck!!!!!

Yeah it used to be good.. now a lot of it is crap.. It's been ruined and people buy the music not really listening to it.. how many songs do you really know the words so? Most people just like the sound.. most of the time I hear a rap song I can't even understand them.. haha.

You like hearing about someone else talk about selling drugs, shooting people for doing morally right things, slapping bitches, etc? You like hearing about someone rap about how rich they are because people are buying their music and they're able to do whatever and get out of the hood because they didn't go to school and such?

With all that being said.. I would easily say you're still in High School.. that seems to be the mentality of high schoolers.. most who make it to their 3rd year of college have a different mentality than that..

By me saying people who buy this kind of rap music are idiots can't be compared to old people and classical music.. that was their era of music.. it has no hate message or violence.. While this rap on the other hand is hateful music.. classical is not offensive to anyone.. (while someone can say it is, proving it might be a little difficult).. I'm sure more people who listen to the music find it offensive and those who don't.. If you'd compare classical to rap.. I'd be my legs more people would find rap more offensive and worthless to society than classical music.

I'll have to hunt down a good reality tv link from a good site.. I'm at work so it's not high on my priority list.


Music is one of the most influencial things on people.. and if you listen to this kind of rap, chances are you'll adopt that mentality.. look at how many people change their ways because of the music they listen to.. straight bills, shorts that look like highwater jeans.. gotta have the new shoes all the time, gold and platinum.. you can easily look at people and figure out if music has an effect on them.. and if it does, you can figure out what kind of music they listen to.
That type always tries to mimic those on Tv and in videos. It's sad. But you don't see a businessman walking around with his jeans sagging and platinum teeth, do ya?

Not saying he/she doesn't listen to it, but chances are good they don't.

Same goes with any other genre of music.. grunge, Nirvana for example.. many followers.

I'm just saying people who listen to this rap and accept it are most likely idiots. While you might listen to it, you might not accept it as what you feel/believe..
Many people do.. and that's where society has gone.

It's not everyday you hear of some guy listening to classical music decided to do a drive by with his dawgs in the ghetto because of a bad drug deal.

Seriously. you can argue it.. but if you just look at the facts.. people who listen to that type of music can be stereotyped.. and stereotyping isn't completely accurate, but you get a huge amount.. not saying they'll all do drug deals, or drive bys..

it's as close to saying that the next terrorist attack will happen from an muslim arab.. not the same odds, other way around.. but it's going to be a muslim arab that does a terrorist attack.

The proof on 50cent that people are idiots? You show me the proof they're not.

There hasn't been a study.. I can listen to anything non-rap in my workplace.. but if I turn on rap, I'll get in trouble because the majority of the music played is offensive..

The closest thing to proof I can say is that I don't know any semi-successful people who listen to that type of music.. and I have a wide variety of friends and acquaintences.

My brother, for example, listens to that music and he's a loser. Still lives at home, no job, no respect for other people and he's starting to speak broken english like many uneducated rappers do..

My other brother doesn't listen to that stuff.. he's doing good.

The neighbor at my dad's listen to the music.. he's been in jail a few times.. he has the big boat car with rims.. he's changing jobs and working for 10 dollars at hour in any factory that will take him.

The pizza place my brother used to work at.. they all listen to the same kind of music.. they're all tattoo'd up with gangsta stuff.. they all sell drugs to make money.. the pizza place is the front.. they have the mentality of select rap music..

while those who are successful don't carry that mentality.. music is part of who we are.. it's a matter of what we select and how we let it effect us..

I stand by my statement that people who listen to that stuff are idiots. If they weren't idiots, they probably wouldn't listen to it.

You make some good points, but some non-idiots do listen to RAP. I would assume it is entertainment and an escape for them from thier mundane jobs and lives. Sorta like a fantasy.
Take Wingy for example, someone of his intelligence and stature releasing tensions by posting pervision, but he is no idiot.

I work 50/50 in and outdoors. No suits for me, I wear loose jeans and cotton button up shirts or t-shirts if I like.
But loose is an understatement for some of those gangsta's I see with 6 "to 12" of boxers showing. Suppose they take small steps and have trouble walking up stairs and whatnot ;)

"most" people..

While there are always exceptions to it.. probably because you seem to be intelligent and understand that it's music and entertainment.. not a message or a way of life as many other think it is..

I don't listen to rap, or country.. I generally listen to the 'rock' stations but I don't dress in anyway like that.. I don't know bands, I don't know lyrics, I don't know anything about.. it's background noise an occasionally I hear a song I do like.

Not everyone is effected by it..but the majority of people who listen to it tend to adapt to that music..

How many people do you know that grew up in the same environment as you but they speak differently?

"holla, holla" that's all I've been hearing lately. It's annoying..

They adapt to that music and it becomes them.. and they start to incorporate that stuff into their daily lives.. in moderation it's good.. which is probably what you do and others..

but for those who live by it.. who swing from it's nuts..

there are always exceptions and idiots exist everywhere..

and idiots tend to congregate.

Safety in numbers, anyone?

Wingy is a freak of nature. He belongs in a museum or a Zoo..er.. as I typed Zoo I started to feel bad for the animals in there.....

Rap can be used as an escape and it shows what kind of lifestyles these people are escaping from.. but then their audience turns around and tries to create what the rapper is trying to get away from..

Yeah, 50cent sold drugs until he had the money he needed to get out..

But then people see it as Ok to sell drugs to make money.. but they have nothing to escape from.. they're living a good life so they just keep selling drugs.. they don't see things the same way as what 50cent did.

They're getting the wrong message from the music. I listen to it sometimes just to hear what they're talking about and what they got away from..

you can take someone out of the ghetto, back you can't take the ghetto out of them..

so we're ending up with a bunch of millionaire ghetto people who still go around trying to kill people and carry weapons.. at that point, wouldn't you think they'd turn around and do something constructive like help out where they came from?
