50 is smart. Whether or not you like his music is one thing but he's a smart man. As someone stated before he's worth 500 million U.S. dollars. 400 million of that came from Vitamin Water in which he bought 10% stock a couple of years back. They recently sold and he made 400 million. That's what you call a good business move. If a white man was to do that he'd be a genius. But since it's 50 and he's a rapper then he's still an idiot. Aside from that, he was already worth over 100 mill in which he earned himself, doing something he loves. You may not like his music or image, but he's no dummy. People tend to hate on things they cannot understand or relate to. Dont hate the player, hate the game. The players change but the game stays the same. While you guys sit here posting on how much of a fucking idiot he is, he's probably sitting in a business meeting right now working on his next 100 million while we're over here trying to get people to click on a fucking sig. GET REAL!!!
You cant please everybody so you should focus on pleasing yourself and the ones you love. Quoted from myself~
As far as pliers, he does suck. He sounds good because the south is hot right now but in the grand scheme of things, he's not that good. He's got a decent voice and i'm sure he'll have a good songs. Not hits but good songs. He wont have more than 3 or 4 i guarantee that. If you want to hear a REAL new Hip Hop artist with lyrics and style, check Joell Ortiz. That cat is one of the more lyrically enhanced new M.C.'s. You know what sucks for Joell, he's not dancing around trying to cater to the women so he's not going to be a super star. Same thing goes for Jadakiss. The whole game is fucked. Now if you make a song with a club beat, talk about how many people you will murder, and call a woman a bitch a few times, your record will sell. If you put out something with a message on that same beat, it will not sell because people dont want to hear that shit. It's the way of the world. Jay Z said in one of his songs "Honestly i wanted to ryhme like common sense, but i did 10 mill and i aint been ryhmin like common since". He realized what he had to do in order to make money. When it really comes down to it, all of these artist are human and have families to feed just like we do. As you're walking through this path of life and doing what you have to do to survive, you have decisions to make. You can either listen to what all the haters say and try to market a product in which there is no market for, or you come up with something that can compete with the current market and make that money. Next thing you know, you've made a million, your family can eat. Most of you on this board have no clue what a lot of these rappers backgrounds are. You sit here on your high horse and point fingers as if thou art greater. Until you've lived the roaches and rats, until you've lived in a home where mom may be ill and you have 3 siblings and no father around, dont judge people. Try coming up in a house where mom can't work for whatever reason yet there are 4 kids and no spouse. You have to drop out of school in order to get a job to support the family as you are the oldest. I know a guy who shot a man for beating his mother and ended up in jail. When he got out, he couldn't find a decent job as no one wants to hire an ex-con. So then what, there are liquor stores to be robbed, purses to be snatched. There are drugs to be sold and people who WILL buy them. So, they sell drugs in order to get buy. If they do that, then they're one of those "fucking drug dealers" right? I'm willing to bet that over 80% of the people on this message board smoke weed and they buy it from someone. That person that you buy from, believe it or not, he's a drug dealer. but since it's only weed then it's cool right? Or since he supplies your product then it's cool right? Next time you see him ask him if he does it for fun or is it for the money. 99% of people who sell drugs DO NOT enjoy doing that shit. They do it because they have to. So before you are so quick to judge someone, think about where they may have come from and why they talk about the things they do. I'm not saying i condone all of these actions but i truly do understand. If they grew up on Yatch's and summer cottages in the Hamptons then they would probably talk about it. but they didn't and who wants to hear that shit anyway unless it's coming from Jay Z. Controversy sells, violence sells, sex sells, so why not take advantage?
Nothing is worse than a hater. A person who hates usually has less than the person they are hating on so it's really jealousy which boils down to insecurity. Dont Be A Hater.
