Fort Minor, K-os, and more rap groups are realizing that it doesn't have to be 'gangsta' to be good!įuck 50 Cent until he starts singing about music that's worth listening to. Real rap is strong, talks about the REAL issues. People take the lyrics and bullshit that rap puts out believing its true.

Cause anyone who believes that 50 Cent 'caps as many niggas' as he claims to, we all know he'd be doing 25 to life right now. ^ THAT is the rap music industry summed up. They're acting we're like idiots, they're lying to our face We don't believe the words, we just love the way they sound We don't care if it's true when we lay the money down They're both selling stories and they sound about the sameĬigarettes say they're safe, rappers claim they really bang Let me tell you something that I realized tonight Make that shit sound more gangster than it really is To add a little spice to the life you've been through General CommentMan, I love this rap game mainly cause it's cool Said 'Don't go by the gamblin' spot, that shit gon' get wet'.

Recognize.I don't even wanna answer this shit.Hello? Don’t get lost in the post- The Massacre world, 50 has spit some of the best lines of all-time, especially in the Hard Rap genre. With that said, let’s dive into 10 of 50 Cent’s most ruthless and aggressive, but also hottest lyrics involving guns and shooting. So when 50 Cent talks about shooting people or getting shot at, it’s not just an egregious use of violence to build brand, it’s a compelling fictionalized narrative of his life on the streets, where he was shot. And much like Eminem’s whiteness turning into a positive for his career once he hit the mainstream, 50 Cent’s survival of a spraying of bullets took his already high perceived “realness” to levels perhaps not reached since Pac himself, who was also shot (only five times…) in NYC and survived. In addition, as 50 was rebuilding his buzz by flooding the market with album quality material alongside G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, the great white hope was rising to top-of-the-game status with back-to-back classics: 1999’s The Slim Shady LP and 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP, which sandwiched outstanding album-making contributions to Dre’s 2001 alongside Hit-Boy and others. With this, ongoing controversy surrounding the controversial cut Ghetto Quran, Jam Master Jay’s death and “How to Rob,” industry people were not keen on working with 50 (rumor has it he was “blackballed” from the industry) and he was simultaneously pissing off a lot of his would-be colleagues (some might be surprised to revisit Low Income on Wyclef’s The Ecleftic: 2 Sides II a Book and find a 50 Cent response).īut all was not bad, 50 recovered from the gunshots and although his voice had been altered by a bullet wound through the jaw, it wasn’t necessarily for the worst sonically. You might not have heard this album before because before it was released Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson was shot nine times and a shook Columbia released 50 Cent and never released the music. With Get Rich or Die Tryin, and a story that resonated across demographics, races and cultures, a new rap legend was made.īut before this flagship release, 50 Cent-former Jam Master Jay “protege”-had earned enough buzz to sign with Columbia Records and record an album, Power of the Dollar. “Go shorty, it’s your birthday.” Those handful of words that introduced 50 Cent to the masses became iconic, getting bumped by both young middle/upperclass (mostly) whites in the exurbs and lower class (mostly) blacks on the streets of 50’s hood in Queens, New York.
