Here's a funny fact. Kurtis got his rap name, 50 Cent, from another prisoner before he became famous. So yeah, he kinda ripped that off from someone else.

So, who here like's 50 Cent, and what songs do you like by him? I love his last CD! And if you check out his re-make of his last CD, you'll get to see a video for EACH track!

I heard his name came from a 50 cent coin that saved out of the bullets shot at him...

Meh, his songs are ok, I don't really love one of the songs but they're all ok.

Not a personal fan and I can't say I love any of his songs, but I'll give him credit, he keeps moving and knows how to make money.

His new CD is good... one can argue that Game is more talented, and I personally like Banks more, but he's alright. I don't like it when he's so mainstream that 6th grade girls sing his songs, but whatever.

The "Hustler's Ambition" song from the movie is pretty good.

Not really a mainstream fan, which is probably why I don't like his music . The underground is where I'll stay.

Again, I give him credit because he knows how to keep his cash-flow rising, but at the same time, it's not all him.

Oh my god... I mean, I like SOME rap, but 50 Cent? My god, he sucks ass. It's even worse that he's getting a movie now. "Get Rich or Die Tryin'"? Why didn't you keep in school focused and get a scholarship to college and then get a god damned job? No, you had to follow what was cool in hip hop, to be all the things no one who talks about it is but thinks they are, a pimp, a hustler, a gangster. My god it is so ****ing retarded.

EDIT: Oh, and not to mention he looks more like a chimpanzee than any other human being I have ever seen.

You'd have a different viewpoint if you lived like they do in the ghetto.

It's easy for us to say, "Stay in school, go to college, be a lawyer", cauz our two, middle-class, college-graduate parents have told us that our whole lives.

Oh my god, that actually made me laugh, yeah he is a chimpanzee.
I'm ok with 80's rap,etc. But the rap of today really sucks. Ok, some of Eminems songs are good. But that Rain Man song was ****ing gay. I mean the lyrics:
Let's ask Dr.Dre! Dr.Dre, is it gay to play putt-putt-gold with a friend? And watch his butt-butt to the other end? Jeash. And Just Lose It was a bit fugly too...

50s pretty good, but he seems to be going down now. His new songs are not very good.. He was just way better on get rich or die tryin'. A lot of his new songs sound like the old ones.
