For me, i dont really mind gangsta rap, i mean i love N.W.A. and all of them cats, heck i even liked 50 with his power of a dollar cd, and seriously Hate it Or love It was actually a nice track. In fact i know a lot of posers that say 50 Cent sucks blah blah blah, but in the end they still bump In Da Club and P.I.M.P. on their ipods. But in the end, I'd rather listen to Rakim and Eric B., Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Tech., and all those other cats.
And i got a question, how come 50 has become kind of a scapegoat for ruining rap? Thers so many other worse rappers out ther.. and he seems to get all the blame

true, though i think in 50's case, all the publicity he gets and the hype around him makes people believe he doesnt desereve to be where he is, and that he doesnt really have talent
and after all the beefing with the game and blackwallstreet (i think we all remember that saga) it just made him look straight up wack. He practically got owned by the game, they way chuck shuts him down on them mixtapes is killer; the whole incident sort of exposed 50 as like a fake gangster.
But we must keep in mind though, that music in the end is just a form of entertainment just like movies and sports and so on; we shouldnt take it too seriously, its made for our pleasure and enjoyment.
We just want to listen to it in the end, and it should sound good.
Listen to the song stimulate by eminem, and sing for the moment and pay close attention to the lyrics and what he is sayin.
