Title: Im amazed at how 50 Cent has become loved and so popular just coz he signed....

with Eminem....

You ppl amaze me.

A year ago he was labaled as a nobody and got dissed by great rappers from Big pun all the way to Ras Kass. No one gave 2 shits about him but he signs with Eminem and get affiliated with Dre now everyone loves him.

I don't get it.

IMO he is not a good rapper, he never has been and probably never will be. I've heard his new material and other than being funny its pretty rubbish.

Also why isn't posts regarding 50cent put in the outbound forum, afterall he ain't west coast.

well, I liked this guy way before he signed to Shady, and the reason everyone likes him now is probably cause of his beef with Ja Rule. Everyone hates Ja Rule right? And now we got this 50 cent guy, who just signed with Shady, ready to pounce on that fool. So everyone's takin sides with 50 cent. At least that's how I see it
Either that or the fact that he got shot nine times, which deserves a bit of respect as well.
Oh yeah, and say what you want, this guy's an alright rapper

Yea I Agree In Away...Id Never Really Paid Him Much Attention Prior, But You Get Exposure Like This And How Can People Not Check Him Out...

IMO He Has His Great Tracks & His Poor Ones...

I Think The Feeding Into The Ja Rule Dissing Is Also Very True. Personally...Ill Judge On The Album As Im Sure Many Of You Will Check Anyway For The Dre Production.

thank you...

thats what i've been thinking after hearing like 10 tracks of him on mix tapes...he is WHACK!!! has no rhythm, sounds like he is being forced to rap or something like dragging words...i'm sure a lot of ya'll heard "up in the club" ..what the fuck is up with the beginning?? "oh its your birthday, oh its your birthday?!?!?! LMFAO....

I feel you 2, I had heard How 2 Rob but that was about it and evena fter listening to that I didnt think he was much cop, but I felt his shit on the 8 mile soundtrack and I am highly anticipating his album. You say that everyone likes him NOW because Em has basically brought him into the game, well that how music works bud, he has impressed em and dre that much that they paid the 1 mil to get him because they saw sumit in him that they did not see in anybody else in the music business. They saw a young, raw, talent that was ready to be unleashed to his full potential, you say everyone is on him because em has brought him in, but dre really brought em in, thats the way the music business works.  You keep droppin shit until you get recognised and signed to a major label, 50 has done this well, so I am supporting this fool all the way.!!!

Don't be so pessimistic, man.  It's because he signed with a major, of course he's got more exposure now.  I hadn't heard his stuff before he got signed, I didn't even hear how to rob back in the day.  Since all the mtv coverage and stuff, and Wanksta bein' thrown on 8 mile, I've heard him, and been like "yeah, he's dope", I'm sure the same thing happened to 10 million other people, that's why there's so much hype.  If everybody was riding his nuts because of Em, then wouldn't they be doing the same to Obie Trice? Nobody gives a sh*t about him.

on poin bout everything, prolly one of, if not, the most overrated rappers out there, and i def. agree bout 50 cent being in this forum.  he wasn't born out west, didn't grow up out west, didn't start his career out west, yet his posts in this forum aren't moved over to outbound connections.  

suggestion for rud and overseer:  if you move topics relating to Eminem, D12, 50 Cent, Obie Trice, and Bone to the outbound connections forum, it'll pick up in volume, because the only connection to the west is that they work out there, they weren't born and raised outwest

50 cent aint all that, I just heard his track off 8 mile "wanksta" and I dont think it's all that. Fool really does sound like he's one of trothem kids we all went to school with that had trouble saying words with "R" lol...

Also just a question. Why would Bone topics be moved to the outbound forum? Cleavland is str8 up West Coast..

I vote for 50 cent to take his ass outta this "West Coast" forum... Good Topic caTASHtrophe...

Post by: Jome on December 22, 2002, 08:50:59 PM
CaTash has a few good points, but people gotta remember:

* 50 was known as the mixtape-king WAY before he signed with Aftermath
* He has dissed half of the industry, and the ones that answered pretty much made themselves look like a fool, or doesn't dare to respond.
* On the Eastcoast, 50 was probably THE most hyped underground cat in a VERY long time. He could basically roll the dice to what label he wanted to sign to.
The buzz was for a big record for 50 was pretty high, even if 50 was a Eastcoast-phenomen.. The West never cared until "The West" more or less signed him. (Signing for the biggest Westcoast label)
* and got dissed by great rappers from Big pun all the way to Ras Kass = Not a valid argument.
Being dissed by the best lyricists and the most-selling rappers is not being a nobody. It means the top cats are recognizing your skills, and when they retaliate it means they have something to defend. Ignoring 50 would be a whole another story..
* The guy oozes credibility..

* I think it's pretty safe to say that he was NOT labeled as a nobody, or that people gave 2 shits about him, like caTash says. (Maybe on this forum people didn't give 2 shits about him, I can testify to that one myself as my 50 Cent-topics got 0 replies & a few views)

It's not for nothing he got signed to Aftermath after all...

he may be gettin alot of attention thru shady/aftermath but whats the problem with that?
i downloaded wankstah an didn't like it.then i listened to it again and then just couldn't stop bumpin it! 50 is addicting. i coudln't see myself why i liked him so much but fact was that i DID like him


yes, he got my attention by signin with em and dre. but DRE AND EM WERE NOT THE REASON I LISTENED TO HIS SHIT. BY SIGNING WITH EM AND DRE, HIS NAME GOT OUT THERE ALOT MORE (TO WESTCOAST FANS I MEAN) AND THATS HOW I DOWNLOADED HIS SHIT. AND I LIKED IT. but i did NOT like it because DRE AND EM were affiliated with him.
50 is dope, hes got a dope style and i feel it. NOT because hes with the math and shady.
and thats on my momma. lol.

so stop all the hatin... DO yA'LL REALIZE NOW? alot of people start HATIN on people just cause they mainstream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Who said anything about mainstreem?Stupid fuck,the only reason why people like him is becouse hes now down with Eminem.But seriously,the guy fucking sucks!His flow is extreem wack and so is his lyrics.Rakim must be irritated like hell that Dre and Em brought this ape over to Aftermath.And its a fucking shame,what is Dre and Em smokin ???

Look at the great and talented artists that Aftermath has

Dre ( greatest producer ever )
Rakim ( dopest MC ever )
Eminem ( number 1 seller )
Truth Hurts (great voice and a great talent )
50 cent ( WHAT THA FUCK ? )

RZA
Masta Killa

Then y post this thread in the west coast connection forum.. Its turning into a discussion about an East Coast rapper, and you were the one that started it.

On the topic of 50.. I neva really heard his shit till he signed with Shady/Aftermarth but since he got exposed i have downloaded alot of his older shit and i think hes pretty tight. He needed exposure, any rapper who gets exposure is gonna gain fans, it doesnt matter who the exposure is with. thats how rappers make money.

I live in NYC and it's basically like this, people are tired of Jay-z and Nas bullshit so they look to 50 as the next big thing here...People in NY don't give a fuck that he signed with Dre and Eminem, they ain't that big here anyway...Personally I think 50 is an entertaining rapper, but skillwise he really ain't bringing anything lyrical to the game...

How can u say he is wack or has no skills

I came into rap humble, I don't give a fuck now
Serve anybody like niggas who hustle uptown
Coke price go up, cats is come down
The D's run in my crib, I'm nowhere to be found
The bitch who hustle for me, they dont even stash tracks
They keep it on em, right there in they ass crack
When I don't like a nigga, I don't pretend to
I'll have the paramedics wrap your fuckin head like a Hindu
Look, I ain't goin nowhere, so get used to me
OG's look at me and see what they used to be
I'm that nigga that sold coke, the nigga that sold dope
The nigga that shot Dice when he broke to So So
The thug, they pop shit
The thug that pop clips
The thug that went from three and a half to whole bricks
Nigga ain't in his right mind, goin against me
My picture's painted through words that make a blind man see

Now don't think I won't hit you cause I'm popular
I got a P-90 Reuger to pop at cha
Catch ya slippin' i'ma give you what I got for ya
My clip loaded wit' 16 shots for ya
Never had a hot gun on your waist and blarin' to shoot
Cause a nigga went and said the wrong shit to you?
Homie you ain't been through what I been through
You not like me and i'm not like you
I'm like a animal wit' it when I spit it it's crazy
Got semi-autos to put holes in niggaz tryina play me
One shot is not enough you need least a uzi to move me
After four bottles of Dom the kid start feelin' woozy
I write my life you write what you seen in gangsta movies
I'm gangsta to the core nigga you can't move me
I found my space at the top I got this rap shit locked
I never heard of you you heard of me I murder you
Spit shells through your convertible
Lowest you notice?
Rich or poor hollows still go through your door, this is raw
You scared of me you not prepared for me the kid is back
50 Cent... I know you like that
Yeah I know you like that

U cant say those verses aint tight.

He's amazing.  I can't even say anything about him's overrated, his voice, his flow, he records constantly, he's creative... I just don't get what people don't like.  Have yall heard his track with Biggie Smalls?  It's Unbelievable... He matches Biggie line for line.

ill disagree with that...i plain out hate mad rappers...50 cent is one of those mad rappers...just goes out and disses people for no fuckin reason aside from tryin to get big...i dont care where theyre from...he could be from my city for all i cared...hed still be wack and overrated in my book...his rhyme structure is simple...

I guarantee that is 50 Cent was from anywhere in Cali some of you that say he ain't dope would do a 180.

i dont care where theyre from...he could be from my city for all i cared

That's why I put "some", and that is very true cause there are some heavy west coast biased people here that probably don't listen to much if anything outside Cali, and would like him if he was from the west coast.

ill disagree with that...i plain out hate mad rappers...50 cent is one of those mad rappers...just goes out and disses people for no fuckin reason aside from tryin to get big

It all started with "How To Rob" and that record was just a joke.  It was like a roast and the Mad Rapper was repeating "this ain't serious", both those guys said it was a joke plus they even went after the guys who produced the song "I been skeamin' on Tone and Poke since they found me/ Steve know not to wear that platinum shit around me".  Then everyone (Sticky, Ghost...) got shook after that and started goin' off on 50.  So he shot back at them.

sgv-the whole thing you wrote about the mad rapper, just described your man benzino. if you think he dissed eminem for any reason other than to get noticed you are straight in denial. same thing when chino dissed tupac. he didn't know tupac. he never met him. he dissed him because he knew it would get his name out there. and it worked. it worked for benzino. and it worked for 50.

YOU'RE A HYPOCRITE. YOU TAKE AWAY FROM ANY STATEMENTS YOU MAKE BECAUSE YOU CONTRADICT YOURSELF CONSTANTLY.

with Eminem....

You ppl amaze me.

A year ago he was labaled as a nobody and got dissed by great rappers from Big pun all the way to Ras Kass. No one gave 2 shits about him but he signs with Eminem and get affiliated with Dre now everyone loves him.

I don't get it.

IMO he is not a good rapper, he never has been and probably never will be. I've heard his new material and other than being funny its pretty rubbish.

Also why isn't posts regarding 50cent put in the outbound forum, afterall he ain't west coast.

 ::)

I agree wit u all tha way! When did Ras Kass diss him?

ok you said you hate 50 because he's a mad rapper-(basing that statement on his song "how to rob"). well so is benzino. and you admit you like him. hypocrite. chino became famous after he dissed pac. so by your definition, he's also a mad rapper. you admit you like him. hypocrite. your not hearing me dude. the point is that chino became well-known after he DISSED pac. thats the exact thing that 50 did with how to rob. so if 50 is a mad rapper, then so is chino. and you hate mad rappers, but you still like chino. so your argument doesn't hold water homie. and i'm confused. are you calling me jesus, or is that a cool new thing to say (ie chuuuuuuuuch)? i'm not mad at you dude. i like discussing other peoples points of view. sometimes it gives me a new perspective, and i understand why they see things that way. in your case however, you make statements that discredit earlier shit you have said. i just like to point that out to you.

the fact that chino dissed pac made him famous. fact. if he never says pac's name in his rhyme, he never would have gotten the recognition of about 95% of people that heard of him. it made pac shout out his name in his most famous diss song ever. so therefore the fact that chino had one line about pac in a freestyle was the thing that made his name known to the masses. chino is definetly dope. but if your gonna hate on 50 for doin the same thing, and calling him a mad rapper, then you're calling chino a mad rapper. and you said you hate mad rappers. so if thats not being a hypocrite i don't know what is. and i'm not hell bent on anything. and i'm all for defending the underdog. but a lot of the justifications you have for defending him go against a lot of other things you say. let me say this-if you were like "i can't stand 50's flow, i think he sounds like mase, and his rhymes are too simple for me," then i couldn't argue with you, because thats your opinion. but when you say your reason for not liking him is because he's a mad rapper, well so is chino and benzino whom you openly admit you bump and think is real. so why is it different for 50?

Looks like everybody's been drinking their hater-aid for the holidayz.  Although everyone is entitled to their opinion, so here's mine.  50 Cent been around for a while and when he first dropped all he did was dis EVERYBODY.  But, just like with Van Gogh, 50 Cent's debut album Power of the Dollar was never released because of bootlegging.  It's a shame, I think that album is tight as hell and I love the fact that he disses a lot of fools I don't like, prime example Ja Rule.  So I would have to agree with earlier posts he is entertaining.  His mic skillz aren't Super, but he's pretty good when he comes correct, but he does have some whack shit, c'mon who doesn't.  Fact is this fools been shot on 2 separate occassions and jacked Ja-Fool for his chain which is on the cover to 50 Cent's CD Guess Who's Back which is also pretty tight.  I can't comment on his mix cds since I haven't heard all of them, but I recently ordered some through a online hiphopsite.  And I ain't really feeling Wanksta all that much, it's aiight, but I think his earlier work was better.  Only thing I'm confused on is in the beginning I thought he had beef with Nas, but it seems they are cool now.  And don't nobody be trippin and hating on me, this is my opinion.  And I ain't biased I'm str8 from the westcoast, but got to give a MC propz when he deserves them.  Half the fools saying he's wack probably ain't even given him chance and listened to his shit.  I went through that shit with Nas, I heard some of his so called hits and I wasn't feeling him.  Then one day this fool came in my job and hit me up with a copy of Illmatic and I changed my mind, some of that shit on the Lost Tapes is pretty tight too, but Nas also has wack shit.  I think I'm feeling him too since I can't stand that magilla gorilla looking, 2pac song stealing, no talent ass rapper Jay-Z.  And it is kind of common sense that people would like 50 Cent more now that he's hooked up with Eminem, hmm he's maybe one of the biggest household names in rap other than Snoop.  Why hate on him for that, shit why hate on people for joining the bandwagon, it's just music.  Everybodys got to start listeing to shit one time or another, peace!!  hell I remember when Eminem was a no name, I was bumping Just Don't Give A Fuck CD single and then BAM!!!

Only thing I'm confused on is in the beginning I thought he had beef with Nas, but it seems they are cool now.  

I think it's the other way around.  He was cool with Nas earlier ("Too Hot" & "Who U Rep With") now he probably has problems with him now cause of his Murder Inc. ties.  

50 Cent: "...Nas' business makes me uncomfortable workin' wit them (Bravehearts)"

i dont know what u think a mad rapper is...but to me a mad rapper who disses everyone...benzino kinda fits that description...chino doesnt...chino dissed pac...ONE PERSON...not the whole industry...to me E A Ski is a mad rapper...thats why im beginning to really dislike him...same with Yukmouth...thats what a mad rapper to me is...so maybe u should know MY definition of a mad rapper before u go callin me a hypocrite...and like i said I AM NOT A BENZINO FAN....GET THAT THROUGH UR HEAD...just cuz i bump a few of his jams doesnt make me his fan...i bump Air Force Onez by Nelly does that make me a nelly fan?....i bump Connected by Ja Rule...does that make me a ja fan?....cmon guy...stop tryin to find every little thing that u feel is wrong...and as for the whole Benzino being real...ur hell bent on that....u cant let it go...yall called him fake and i said he was real...tho his views are fuckin stupid...theyre his opinions...but as for his usual content(not considering diss records cuz he only has a few) hes rather real...he speaks on what he knows....street life and balling...so how is that fake?

how to rob was meant as a joke. you think he has beef with everybody on that record? nope. but if that makes him a "mad rapper" in your book then thats you. and yes if you bump benzino and ja and nelly, then that makes you a fan of their music. if you bump it you obviously like it, (unless your just trying to be cool) so why do you get so paranoid when people say you are a fan of them? and i never said benzino was fake, so don't twist my words. you said he was "real" and i pointed out how hypocritical he was, sayin Em was stealing hip-hop, while the other owner of the source aka "the bible of hip hop" was white. he's a hypocrite. to me that goes against your statement that he is real. and i like how you say he's mostly real except when he does diss records, but those should not be counted because there has only been a few (4 actually). well earlier you stated pac wasn't real because in your eyes his beef with biggie was totally fake. and you had no problem saying pac wasn't real, so why does it count when pac does it, but not benzino?

don't you understand? According to some people, we should only like artists who 'keep it real' (i.e., never make any money in their entire life).  We should only listen to people who nobody else listens to, only listen to 'underground' music of each and every tom dick and harry that has a soundblaster.  If somebody gets signed by a major label, we are automatically expected to hate them at all costs; they should have stayed unheard of (but we've heard of them) and should never be allowed the pleasure of having any kind of widespread fame or success, much less financial security.  As soon as someone like 50 signs with a major label, we should immediately label them a sellout, never give any of their music a chance, and withdraw to some newer artist nobody's ever heard of.  Also, whenever someone mentions 50, we should talk about how much better he was before he went major, and talk about how many years we've been 'down' with him.  Because that's something to brag about; life is all about being dickriders when they're underground, but not when they blow up.
