LOL! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

massacre is probably the worst album ive ever heard

you will take me seriously when my cock bruises your throat, shut your mouth. (dont bite) :1orglaugh

ahahaha

Brooklyn is most definitely in my blood and mixed cd's are part of life's release and relaxation at the same time.

Another hot site (not designwise but contentwise) is http://www.mixunit.com ... it's too bad they don't have samples but they show every song mixed on every CD ... and at $5 -$7 with bonus FREE CD's - if a few miss ... no big deal!

They get all the hottest shit as it hits the street!

:thumbsup

Then again, there's a couple shops on Melrose here in LA that stock the heat as well ... like that "NY State of Mind" disk!

Step your game up PW! :winkwink:

We need to start selling gangster rap porn to the youth
They seem to have alot of money to spend

Hey jackass, first off all I was talking about real artists on real label. Secondly, unless they're charging $100 for their albums, 5-7% is a hell of a lot different than $5-$7. Who's the dumbass?

I love it when people make themselves look stupid so I don't have to do anything. :glugglug

I meant 5-7$ just like I stated earlier. It was a fucking typo, dumbass... amazing how many geniuses we have here. I'd love to be the dumbass ignorant untalented musician you all claim 50 is. He's cashing checks bigger than you'll ever hope of seeing and your bitching here about him.

Hate It Or love It, the underdog's on top..... HAHAHAHA :thumbsup

the haters are here bitching about "hes saleing gangsta murder rap" to people... HEL-FUCKING-LO, your saleing internet porn... your no better than he is.... like the pot calling the kettle black..... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The Meaning of this thread was not to bash on 50 but to make a point, that no matter how "tight" his beats/lyrics get or even already are, there is no chance in the world that he would even be remotely comparable to The Beatles, I mean 2pac and Biggie combined are nowehere even remotely close to how big the Beatles were/still are. You go anywhere in the world and I guarentee more people would have heard the name "The Beatles" more than 2pac, biggie or 50. The Beatle will live on forever, and you know what maybe so will 2pac biggie and 50 but their names will never reach that of "The Beatles" And dont get me wrong I love rap, but facts are facts!

the world was alot smaller back in the 60's and people didnt have that much disposable income. No one can match what the Beatles did. 100 years from now they will still be playing their music.. not 50!!

you have a larger teen population with more money per teen - of course the sales are going to be higher - put them on the same playing field and Beatles would kick his ass and no one would be around to care.

looks like 50Cent's the latest success story to hit the rap industry since Eminem

who really cares if he is as big as the beatles? what does it matter? I couldnt name one song the beatles sung to be honest with you. dont care to listen to them. not that their is anything wrong with them, but thats not the kinda music I like or listen too. People can trash talk all they want, the haters are loved just as much as the fans. Like Ive said a few times, all the bitchin here is ridiculous to say the least, he couldnt give a damn whether we love him or hate him. Hes making millions, doing it better than anyone else is right now. Guess what, your favorite singer/band/rapper is doing it for the $$ its putting in their pocket, too. :thumbsup

across the universe.

Now, if you want to be fair... make all things equal and bring the Beatles to 2005, update their music to make it just as big today as it was in the 60's and I can guarentee that 50 Cent would kick their asses all up and down the pop charts.

Remember N'Sync? How about The Backstreet Boys? NKOTB? Yeeah, uh huh. Exactly.

Same shit different era, the only thing is that The Beatles were the first to get to that pandemonium level.

I know this is going to rub a few of you the wrong way but the Beatles hold this iconic status because of two things, first they pulled the heartstrings of the largest and most powerful demographic ever... the babyboomers. Secondly they were the first to do that on a certain level so people look at their songs through rose colored glasses.

If N'Sync came out back then and kept up their hitmaking streak about 2 or 3 more albums longer than they did they would have had the same success.

Sorry to discredit the all powerful Beatles but they were the same as Elvis, overrated pop that came out at the right place and right time with a perfect image to match.

You want to talk about real music from that time let's talk Cream, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Frank Sinatra... hell even Burt Baccarach and Quincy Jones had more artistically credible music from that time period. The Beatles? Hah!

WOW........... you missed the point, even after I tried to explain it. Im not sayin 50 isnt talented, and NO SHIT he is doing what he does and doing it the best, thats pretty fuckin obvious, NOW, lets see if I can make this a little more clear for you. 50 Cent is the best thing in Hip Hop RIGHT NOW, he has a great team behind him, what I am saying is that when IDIOTS try and put 50 Cent and The Beatles in the same category its just beyond rediculous, The Beatles did what they did in the 60's and are still being compared to the number ONE artists in '05. Now in 2045 I HIGHLY doubt that 50 Cents name will still be big, and you know what, Im pretty sure "The Beatles" name will still be around. And you know what else, that shows just about how much you know about music, if you cant name one Beatles song. Im not even a big fan of the beatles and I can name a couple of them, The Beatles started something new, 50 Cent is just doing what all the other rappers did before him, just now its more publicized, and its nothing special and new AND finally the funniest part of what you said was "he couldnt give a damn whether we love him or hate him. Hes making millions, doing it better than anyone else is right now. Guess what, your favorite singer/band/rapper is doing it for the $$ its putting in their pocket, too" Thanks for letting me know about that, I never would have thought of it. :thumbsup :thumbsup

He's not that rich? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh you have no fucking clue do you. Records is just the fucking tip buddy. When they go on tour they fucking make a killing. Yeah hes rich, don't fucking hate. I'm not really a fan but im sure the fuck not a internet shit talker or hater.

who the fuck are the beatles? :helpme

Like big poppa said "Your nobody, till somebody killsss you"

50 is doing great making the money but it's clear that there are people behind the scenes making more money on him and unlike him they will be alive to spend it whereas 50 will be killed. Then the retards will def start comparing him to big and pac.

R.I.P Big L,Big poppa,Tupac

The beatles will always be in a league of their own

100 Beatles Fans

100 Beatles Fans :pimp

50 is doing great making the money but, it's clear that there are people behind the scenes making even more money on his loud mouth. Although unlike 50 they will be alive to spend it whereas 50's chances of getting murdered for the trash he thinks he can talk are very slim. If that should happen, the retards will then start comparing him to big and pac for sure. The End.

I rather hear a track by Jay-Z where he tells how it was and the how things turned around, whereas he then gave back to the community....Jay-Z goes back to Marcy projects and gets love. 50 has to watch his ass everywhere he goes in his own hood.

Big L was the biggest tragedy in the biz
notice how he has yet to be whored by money hungry dirty little P Diddy wannabes?

amazing lyricist, wicked flow, good content...I still check it.
R.I.P.

NB - Fifty cent eats balls. His label makes him look wealthy, it's a standard trick. he's a tool, specifically, a marketing tool. He makes almost no $$ on his albums (he's produced by Sony - do I need to draw a map?), and live shows he probably sees about 50% of the profits. Endoursements - he probably sees the loot. He's a bum. Jadakiss lays it out with his house arrest bullshit

Exactly, I heard him live on Hot97 one day while driving where he sang candy shop, I wanted to barf, sounded like a moron!

I didn't mention Big L because anyone who knows the real truth has him in mind way before big and pac even. I cant help but to throw the L up when I hear the knowledge he brings.

Jay-Z on MTV unplugged on the other hand, now thats talent!

"I got my MBA at Marcy Projects" - Sean Carter

Call me a hater if you'd like, I think hes shit not because of the money he may or may not have, but rather because his beats sound the same there hasnt been a single verse from him that made me think "oh snap, thats original" a single time.

"Cause real gangsta ass niggas niggas don't run their mouths" =)

Jaz-ze surpises me once in a while. I saw him a few years ago in trinidad when he was filming the big Pimping video. He was being real quiet, I think the real gangstars scared him. And the greed is a little tiring. that being said, he has done some crazy things musically and creatively, and he's at least a little more positive than those 50 lowlifes.

Sean Carter is the Paris Hilton of Rap music.
(he does not participate in hip hop projects) - he came out of nowhere and nobody really knows what he does (well). He made his $$ of biggie's death in such a sleazy fashion, re-releasing an album and sampling himself in right after he was murdered...utter bullshit. He can't flow, dance, act - all he can do is dress nice...like Paris.

The mere fact they are comparing him with a band that broke up over 35 years ago shows the awesome power and success of the Beatles.

No there will never be another Beatles or another period so rich in musical talent as the late 60s. Look at the bands around in those days, think of the spending power of kids and then you have an idea of the Beatles achievement.

We could buy albums from people like The Who, Rolling Stones, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Kinks, Dylan, plus many many others. These bands rose in the late 60s but were around in the early 60s and selling.

Todays music industry is run by the marketing department and they will not allow a performer to rise up the level of the groups from the 60s. The will kil this guy off and move onto the next artist as soon as they see a bigger profit.

No more White Album, Sgt Peppers, Tommy, Electric Ladyland, Dark Side of the Moon, Highway 61 Revisited etc.

yeah, but his shit is predictable. you know where 50-cent's rhymes are going - he ain't what could be called versatile.

unless you're talking about jay-ze - every word in every line in every song is there for a reason. he chose it.

50 cent sucks

Exactly, Jay-z's albums tell a full story about his life....50's shit is all about how hes up in the club, or robbing someone, or whatever. The way I see it, only wana bee gangstas can relate.

I have never felt a single bit of emotion listening to 50's music, while at the same time there are artists that can bring plenty from a single song, the beatles def hold alot of emotion in their songs.

Imagine

Every generation has its heros. People aged 80 and older would probably tell you that the Beatles suck, that rock music sucks, and that Frank Sinatra is where it's at.

The story of music like so many other things in life is the story of the underdog. Somehow, somewhere down the road the haters and the critics are often forced to eat their words.

You fail to see that it doesn't matter how many people like a particular band or performer or which generation they come from.

The only criteria when judging art - whether it be music, film, painting or sculpture - is an artists body of work and their scope of their influence.

Everything else is just someone's opinion.

That's your opinion. Mine is that music can also be judged not by it's scope or influence, but by how good it sounds. Plain and simple.

my response wasnt directed at you man, not everything in this thread is. I was posting for the people hating here. I dont know much about music because I wasnt around when the Beatles were out and the popular thing... SUE ME. for the most part, me and you are eye to eye on this, I was responding to the people in this thread hating..... :2 cents:

wasnt there a thread a few weeks ago about how fake Jay-Z was and he stole his lyrics from other people? Now he's the hottest thing since sliced bread.. :1orglaugh

I like Jay Z & 50... just funny to see who comes out of the woodworks when trash talking starts. :2 cents:

The 1790s. Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn. The Beatles haven't stood the test of time yet.

comparing a legendary rock band like the Beatles to 'rap flavor of the month' is ridiculous IMO. I dont care how many records he sells.

I'm not talking about your opinion. I'm talking about music as being art that can be judged by a set of objective standards.

Those objective standards are body of work and influence.

In that case, I agree with you.

My thoughts exactly.
