50 Cent > The Beatles?

[isasir]

50 Cent not only notches a fifth week atop the Billboard Hot 100 with "Candy Shop" featuring Olivia, but the rapper also becomes the first artist in 41 years to hold four slots on the top 10.

But he has a long way to go: The last artist with four singles in the top 10 was The Beatles, who held the top five spots on the tally on April 4, 1964.

50 Cent gains the fourth hit as the featured artist on The Game's "Hate It or Love It," which came in at No. 6. 50 Cent also is featured on The Game's "How We Do," No. 8 this week. 50's "Disco Inferno" checks inat No.5.

Two other artists have managed the feat of placing three singles in the same Top 10. The Bee Gees, still hot after "Saturday Night Fever," did it March 18, 1978, and Usher on May 29, 2004.

That it has horrible fucking taste.

WTF! This is got to be a joke right?

50 cent...greater than the Beatles? Not only has talent gone out the window, but taste as well. It's a different time now. People don't crave good music anymore. People crave sh!t. And you can coat it in platinum and diamonds, but that doesn't change the fact that sh!t is sh!t.

LOL, just as long as Fiddy doesn't think he's as good as the Beatles (or even the Beegee's) more power to him. I don't like his music or what ever it really is but I can assure you that back when the Beatles were topping the charts, at least in their early days, a lot of those in the mainstream didn't like them either.

 

[jjones]

It has nothing to do with talent and everything to do with promotion.

 

[Toasthead]

ok WHO voted for 50 cent??

A lot of gold around the neck doesn't hurt either. Really who is going to remember 50 cent 10 years from now.

50 Cent is pretty lame. But I think the Beatles are pretty terrible as well. Not in the same league of suckage though.

Well, we will be reacquainted with him on Surreal Life.

The same pathetic little sh*ts that believe Tupac and Biggie are still alive.

At least the Beatles weren't singing songs from a genre that had been played out and ran into the ground by radio and ghetto-wannabe kids.

If 50 Cent happened to be somebody making a NEW kind of music, trying something different, I'd at least appreciate it even if I did still hate it. But no, he's recording the same old recycled garbage.

50 years from now people won't be listening to 50 Cent.

I'm willing to concede the BeeGees, but not the Beatles. Hell, we should start an Internet movement that emphasizes him being better than the BeeGees.

 

[Ferocious]

WTH is 50 cent?

I sorta think I heard that before once maybe.

 

This just means that a LOT of people have very poor taste in music.

 

[J Heartless Slick]

Back in 1964, older than 25 people thought the Beatles at best were pablum for teenagers and probably sucked. Obviously they did not get the Beatles.

Is it possible that you guys do not get 50 Cent?

 

[Mucho]

I hate hip hop but every generation marches to a different drummer so live and let live.

 

[jalaram]

You guys do realize the Top 100 is a list of popular songs, right? They're not talking about quality or importance to music. Just as nobody would've compared the Bee Gees to the Beatles (quality wise) back when they had 3 simultaneous top ten songs, nobody is comparing 50 cent to the Beatles (quality wise). It's just saying that 50 cent is second to a record that the Beatles hold.

Even in terms of popularity, he has a long while to go to reach the level of Beatlemania. However, his popularity is very high right now whether ATOTers like it or not.
