As for talent, folks like Eminem, Canibus, Common, Talib Kweli, Tonedeff, Mos Def, and Jurassic 5 all out-shine 50-cent.

yeah a canuck really knows whats going on.

Jurassic 5, Mosdef and Canibus OWN 50 Cent so bad, it's not even funny!

Aren't P Diddy and Jadakiss tight? Why would he sell him out?

Puffy only has loyalty to his money and right now jadakiss is not making him money. Jadakiss in fact still owes money from his last album.

although 50 did box as an amature he is no way dumb like tyson. Tyson lacks any type of common sense or intelligence tyson was somebody elses HO...he wasnt pimping anything. 50 is not being pimped by anyone...he is earning his money by pimping others. An idiot cant do that.....they get taken advantage of like a HO like tyson and don king. WIthout formal schooling he is Brilliant business mind. but whatever your mind is already settled on thinking he is dumb so nothing anyone can say will change that.

And also this latest development shows he is very well versed in the art of war.
Well, now that we can both agree that very stupid people can get rich, using Mike Tyson as the primary example, we can no longer assume that simply because 50 is rich he is smart. Remember, this is the guy who was shot 9 times and couldn't make good money legitimately, so turned to drug dealing. This business man of yours is well on the path to living a short life, culminating in him being gunned down by a rival rapper. Bill Gates is a business man. 50's thuggin large!!!

selling crack = start up cash

takes money to make money.

he has proved he can make good money legitmately. he has infiltrated shoes, clothes, movies, video games, sports drinks, then of course concert tours, cd sales etc all legitamate. He has many major corporations wrapped around his finger wanting him to sponsor there products and there businesses.

fanboi or not wishing death upon ppl that have no effect on you is a tru sign of a moron.
 
why am I starting to believe more and more that the whole genre of rap is becoming more and more like professional wrestling?
All make-believe; pretend enemies and allies; and a bunch of people who follow it and think it's real.

to any extent you are absolutely correct. Alot of it though is kinda like wiping out your competion in business. Dig up dirt on them and make it publicly known....the people will protest and not use said business anymore giving you more marketshare whicn in this case translates into more fans/listeners/radio air time etc.

Isn't being a great rapper all about having great lyrics, music, and delivery?

It doesn't really matter who's on top. Britney Spears & SPice Girls were on top of their industry, that doesn't make them any good.

Don't think 50-cent is running anything. He's Eminem's puppet, plain and simple. Dr. Dre & Eminem control their entire crew, with good reason since those two are the only talented ones there.

Even then, Eminem's last album sucked, and Dre is splitting production credits with Scott Storch and Mike Elizondo.

what are you arguing here. I listed who was on top of who in descending order. It does matter who is on top because when you are on top yo are the ones making money. Thats what the rap game exists to do. Make money. Your argument that just because they are on top doesnt make them good works the other way to.....it doesnt mean they are not good. I never claimed 50 or gunit was the best and most talented....they have their moments though not talking about the commercial sh1t.

bottomline for me is I listen to what i am in the mood for since it is entertainment...this morning i was listening to CNN - The war report a classic cd released in 1996 that never got much commercial attention but great none the less. Sometimes when I want something more complex I'll throw in the cannibus(poet laureate II is straight fire) or kweli or mosdef etc sometimes Iits not rap at all.....beethoven or tool. Its just entertainment. but 50 and gunit have their own niche in the rap game - 'gangsta rap' and club bangers they are not in the same category as the others and they dont try to be either.

Selling kiddie porn could be used as 'start up money', but the means are not justified by the end.

I have yet to play '50Cent - The video game'. What does this involve? Talking about porking "Ho's" from behind and offering your 'Lollypop' for a licking? Driving expensive cars too slow and bragging? Shooting 'enemies' because they 'dissed' you on a track they made? Not realising you are a flash in the pan?

"Press green to brag. Press red to drive expensive car. Press X+Y to brag and pork ho's"
