what the fuck!?

[Chazzz]

I was watching 50 Cent's 'Just a Lil Bit' video and shit how can the motherfucker sell so much.

50:
"This is 50 comin' out your stereo..
Hard to tell tho cuz I switch the flow,
Eyes a little low cuz I twist tha dro
Pockets on swoll cuz I move the o's..
My neck, my wrist, my ears is froze
Come get your bitch she on me dawg,
She must a heard about the dough,
Now captain c'mon and save a hoe
I get crunk in the club I'm off the chain
#1 on the chart all the time mayne
When the kid in the house I turn it out
Keep the dance floor packed that's without a doubt
Shorty shake that thing like a pro mayne
She back dat up on me I'm like oh man
I get close enough to her so I know she could hear
System thumpin' party's jumpin I say it loud and clear."

now look at kurupt in ny ny:
"Gimme a couple g’s, for every mc, I knocked to his knees
Verbally useless, oh you got the juice? I squeeze you juiceless
The barbaric, versatile, you’re no kin to me
So how the fuck you inherit my style?
Now, out the clear blue sky, I can’t deny
Not a day goes by, don’t get high, don’t ask why
Tonight’s the night for me to rip microphones
Into bits and pieces lyrical telekinesis
Gets me into verbally vindictive
Violent vocabulary bobs to existance
Catch me in the pitch black path
I sit and let the sick thought pass through my mental
Till I hear an instrumental
And detrimental verbals get to spittin
The highest in intellect, try connectin with the written
Now they faced with the forbidden, vocally chosen
To explore new terrain, then remain unseen, throughout the war
Dips like a low-low, with my verbal fo’-fo’
The cocoa complexion mc with the slow flow
Fo sho’, I takes it to you from the do’
Motherfucker, mentally I go hardco’ (you know!)
I disconnect ya, kurupter, mc to vocally
Bore your whole molecular, structure
Catastrophic, mystic as mixelplix
Hittin mc’s like picks the deadliest lyricist"

Rap game is really fucked up.I'm not hatin' but shit how can people buy shit bad as 50.How can the motherfucker sell so much.

he picks beats that are good from a commercial perspective,he has what might be the best story of all time in hip hop,he makes catchy hooks,he´s backed by Eminem and Dr.Dre,Jimmy Iovine puts up a whole lot of money behind every single thing that 50 does etc etc. i could go on for days why 50 sells more records then Kurupt,DPG or pretty much anyone that makes rap/hip hop music.

[KURUPTION-81]

like drink away the pain said catchy hooks and major promotion on the big channels. People who dont buy hip hop albums will buy a 50 album.

[Matty]

i feel you but 50's laid back flow is really popular, there's no denying that. it's perfect music to just groove to in a club with some females if you feel me. and kurupt aint flowing over a scott storch beat indian styled beat which again, ultra popular stuff with the ladies/club scene/whatever.

[Black Uhuru]

He's in that position now where it doesnt matter bout his lyrics he'll go at least platinum just off his name

['DsR']

true... look @ eminem, his last 2 cd's have been BS but they still go multi-plat just cuz its "eminem"

[eS El Duque]

girls only listen to the beat...

[WestCoasta]

I thought the same thing the first time I saw it
I realized he wasn't saying anything that made sense
and was saying the lamest stuff, even I could come up with it

I'm not a hater of the guy, but he's not too good and if in years from now
he gets real good recognition like a legend would, then that would be sad

I mean, you've all heard an idiot before somewhere talkin about 50 Cent being the next 2Pac
There are a lot of fuckin morons out there

[WestCoasta]

also Drinkin Away the Pain is 100% correct

[Z the laidback Virus]

50 Cent and a laidback flow? Sorry people, but 50 Cent can't do more then a mumble.

'Look at 50Cent! 50 Cent don't even move his mouth when he's rapping..he be rapping like he's Mike Tyson or something..'
(Afroman)

[ifrit]

I agree, shit's wack, he dumb's himself down bigtime. Too bad if his flow was tight and he had lyrics like a early jigga/nas or something he could be one of the best mainstream rappers out right now. but that's always been his achilles heel, his lyrics, i actually liked his flow on grodt, it wasn't perfect but it was alright. but now his flow is awful, listen to get in my car for proof

[rafsta]

he appeals to the 13 - 15 yr old market.

thats the market where kids take the most money from their folks coz they jump on bandwagons n shit.

[No Compute]

The majority of people that buy 50 Cent cd's won't understand that Kurupt verse.

[Twentytwofifty]

50 Cent has more fans that can vote than your favourite westcoast rapper.  So enough of this "only 14 year old girls like him".

the maojority of his sales are to young teenagers... you havent seen a 50 concert ?

same deal for eminem, i like eminem (well not all the time obviously) but it doesnt change the fact that 9 yr old kids like him too.
