Best post in this thread. 50 isn't the new Beatles, nobody is pretending that he is. You guys who are saying it is complete bullshit - what is complete bullshit? The fact that he is popular?

Grow up. He's just another popular rapper who is feeding this generations love of rap, just like bands in the 60s fed the country's obsession with rock and roll.


right you are. but, theres no fun in that.

Yes. The fact that 50 Cent is popular is complete bullshit.

Any other questions?

There is no way way on this planet anyone in their right mind would compare 50 pennies to the Beatles.

I listen to quite a lot of the harder Rap, but 50 cent is never to land on my shelves. The lack of talent and just sounding like a complete dopehead is in a way amazing in it self.

Beatles > *.*

I think 50 is better than the Beatles. He had to work so hard to be where he is right now. Mad Props Fifty. In this whole Ghetto World, it's alot harder to be SOMEONE than it was 40 years ago, so I'd say Fifty is better than the Beatles.

I have all his albums actually I listen to almost every genre but the Beatles are probably NO.1 or if not damn close to it @ the top man...

I think some folks need to get out more. Different times, different taste.

It's not as if the Beatles were tremendously deep or anything.

If your being serious, please consider leaping out of a window.

No one has mentioned the fact that two of those songs aren't even 50 songs, there game songs that he appared on. Hell the record companies could have Paulie Shore sing a verse on every top 10 song and bye bye record

There's no way 50 is anywhere close to being as good as the Beatles. He doesn't write his own music, his flow is pretty weak, and he's a fake gangster. As jadakiss said, If he hasn't got shot since his last album, what's his new one about. He keeps on talking about how hard he is but 50 hasn't moved anything or shot anyone since he went platinum. His "I'm the hardest in the streets" act has gotten old, you live in Conneticut bitch.

I don't that's true. He IS a pretty tuff guy compared to Jadakiss. Don't you remember the title of his first album? Get rich or die tryin' and I think he's trying very very hard.

What hard work? Dealing crack?
Like most major commercial successes (including the Beatles), he was merely in the right place at the right time. He would still be a nobody without his producers.
The Beatles wrote songs. All he has to do is come up with lyrics.

Not worth responding seriously again to a guy who just trying to start a flame war.
