Catchy flow, good voice, sing-a-long hooks, thug persona, great production, controversy...

50 is a genius on catchy hooks, but he ain't no lyricist.

wow, this thread has opened my eyes. You have no idea how much time i spent brooding over why the axiom that only good lyricists can sell records is no longer because of 50 Cent. Finally, I have been given an answer

damn are people that stupid, what is music, etertainment, if u like sitting in your room and listening to soul on ice and getting a deeper meaning, well good for u, but , many people dont, esp the majority of music buyers, 13-21 year olds, and esp women, 50 sells casues he pop, like it was said hes got incredible hooks, hes got great production, nobody casres wat he says, his music is fun, wen u hear his songs in a club u feel good, and thats why he sells, people like him a lot, so wat if he aint a genious lyricist or even a average 1, when picking up his album you should already know this, but 50 dont give a fuck about you and what u think of his lyrics, cause hes sellin, and your bootlegging-internet-dork ass is nothing to him.. so keep hating and 50 will keep hustlin

he sells records coz he makes music that appeals to the masses. i donīt really like his music but the man knows how to play this music game and thatīs whatīs up. and heīs a pretty smart dude who knows how to market and promote himself.

Because he isnt actually that bad, yeah he isnt a great lyricist, but his tunes are catchy.

But anything Dre touches turns to gold, look at NWA, DEATHROW, EMINEM

He is a great business man because he knows how to market himself.  All be it, his music is ass but he knows how to sell himself.  I personally wont play any of his shit because he says the name of the song 40 times in the hook but I guess chicks like him.  Oh well....we just gotta stop talkin about his ass.

Exactly, his fan base is growing up never knowing the beginnings of rap/hip-hop at all, just like how new and younger fans who feel Snoop now in his pimp phase never knew the classics like Gin & Juice, What's My Name?, Doggy Dogg World, shit I can go on and on til the break of dawn but I don't wanna bore you...

he sells because of marketing although his product is bullshit
