50 Cent - "Off and On" Official Music Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpnrtwEGoQg&feature=relmfu#)
How do you feel about 50?
-
boss
-
I liked the all-black painted chick.
And I thought 50 could produce better quality videos. This is even worse than some Iphone shot videos for wannabe rappers.
-
50 is whack as hell. Who the fuck even listens to him anymore?
-
50 is whack as hell.
as he ALWAYS was...
-
you guys are idiots, he has classic albums and started the mixtape trend. and that video is off a mixtape, which he made a video for every song on it. fall back
-
he has classic albums
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
-
the arrogant prick "look at me" schtick got old a long ass time ago. not that it was ever good to begin with.
-

You really think 50 has classic albums? I feel like the dude tries hard to stay relevant by starting beef with other rappers. Most of which are 5x better than him.

exactly...
wasnt that cornball mannequin supposed to retire back when kanye owned his azz in sales?!?!?!
-
I think 50 Cent has a better sense of humor than most rappers.
-
if you dont think get rich or die tryin was a classic album you need to check yourself, how dare you even say that? beg for mercy was classic too, no doubt. and 90% of all the beef 50 was in, was not started by him. do you guys even listen to rap?
-
Haha 50 Cent may have not started those beefs but he still has the lyrical ability of a 5 year old and probably gets Eminem to ghostwrite for him. He also has one of the most predictable rhyming schemes and boring flows out of all the mainstream rappers out there. Are there also classic Soulja Boy albums that I should check out? 50 would be even more shit if it wasn't for Em and Dre.
-
first you say he started all those beefs and now you back peddle saying he didn't start them. dont speak on subjects you have no knowledge in. 50 had the streets on smash before he ever met dre or eminem with power of the dollar, which is another classic album, which puts him at 3. how many other rappers have 3 classics? not many. i guarantee you have never even actually listened to any of those albums, keep it 100 with me. 50 has also ghostwritten hundreds of songs, so i dont get know where you get off accusing him of ghost writing. and to top it off, you used the term mainstream rapper. you are probably one of those faggots that tells people "i only listens to underground rappers, like jedi mind tricks and cannibus". your ignorance is foul
-
50 cent was the future...approximately 10 years ago. but really 50 gave life to grimy cocaine goon rap that dipset cassidy and newer people like french montana are still capitalizing on. what's not to love?
-
What could 50 possibly have to offer as a ghostwriter? I used the term "mainstream rapper" instead of just "rapper" because there are plenty of no name shitty rappers that 50 is better than. There are mainstream rappers that I enjoy songs from and I have never listened to Jedi Mind Tricks or Cannibus. Most of the hip-hop I listen to is from the 90's but I hate that pretentious attitude a lot of people that listen to older hip hop or older music in general have. I actually have listened to Get Rich Or Die Tryin and I enjoyed it at the time. Hell I actually bought the Massacre album when it came out. Now I'm a little older and realize he's been garbage since Get Rich or Die Tryin. I acknowledged the fact that I was wrong about the rap beef thing but that doesn't change the fact that he is a bad rapper that's just marketable. Not sure where you're getting those claims that 50 has ghostwritten for other people though. There is no way that is true.
-
What could 50 possibly have to offer as a ghostwriter?
how about success? All of Games biggest singles were written by 50, and he has written a lot for dre too. He isn't a great rapper, but he is no doubt good. Yes there are other people who are better at rapping, but that doesnt mean shit if you cant make a song. he has a great ability to turn songs into hits with his writing and hooks, numbers dont lie. bad rappers dont have 3 classic albums, stop trippin
-
the correlation between 'classic albums' and 'numbers' is for the most part, mutually exclusive when it comes to hiphop.
fucca 50 and all that mallrat cb4 schit...
-
Get Rich or Die Tryin was a CLASSIC rap album. and like thugnificent said he started the mixtape trend. if yall tryna hate on fifty you dont know shit about rap. he wasnt the most technical rapper but in his GRODT days his flow was always on point.
definitely not as releveant musically has he used to be but yall forgetting this is one americas biggest entrepreneurs. for the past few years he's been writing & acting in multiple movies, publishing books (50th Law w/ Robert Greene is excellent), venturing into the headphone business, and is doing good work with the StreetKing movement feeding meals in Africa for every energy shot sold. matter of fact he JUST got a huge distribution deal with pepsi for the SK energy shots so youll be seeing those everywhere soon.
the man is a master hustler/businessman, period. he still got money from that $100 million dollar vitamin water deal.
-
I wasn't speaking on none of that entrepreneur stuff. That's great and all but I was strictly talking about his music. If 50 really did write most of The Documentary I'm just gonna assume that 50's lyrics don't bother me as much as his delivery just does because The Game doesn't really bother me at all. But at the same time I've read that 50 just wrote the hooks to some of the songs not necessarily Game's lyrics. All I know is I've just always appreciated rappers that were more lyrically inclined and nobody probably really listens to it but I find that "god gave me style" song he made really annoying and I get it stuck in my head.
-
50 has an excellent ear for beats.
His lyrics and delivery are usually mediocre, but his tracks go hard!
-
seems to be quite a few fans of another mans stock portfolio... stay keepin track dawgs... LOL...
if yall tryna hate on fifty you dont know shit about mallrap.
well, its a good thing i know about hiphop, so that the frivilous attention whore schit marketed towards 14 year old schoolgirls doesnt hold any relevance whatsoever, isnt it... 8)

put the pom poms away and quit takin it personal 'thuggy'... ::)
-
my bitches call me thuggy, you havent earned those stripes yet. but you do fit the category
-
'bitches' is a reference to the rest of your squad right...
'stripes' from a mallrap advocate worried about 'trends', ill pass anyhow.
thanks again for caring... :)
-
aint nobody done said anything about trends except you fool. I can tell by your smiley face giving, hoe ass attitude and faggot demeanor that you are one of them 'immortal technique is the best rapper, i havent listened to any new rap since the 90s cause its all bubblegum now' bitches. your feminine ways are embarrassing
-
damn thugnificent just bodied mongomaestro!
-
aint nobody done said anything about trends
the mixtape trend.
mixless 'tapes' more like it.
you said it son, not i. bubblegum...
your feminine ways are embarrassing
the irony...
like i said, son, put your pom poms away. i didnt ask to see under your skirt... just spittin the real bout these mannequins that got you all defensive...
:::smiley, smiley:::
-
50 has an excellent ear for beats.
cant front on some of those beats... too bad he doesnt do much with em though... :-\
he does croon better than that other cornball ja rule though... ;D
-
trend was actually a poor choice of word, since it was actually a revolution what he did for the rap game. you clearly lack the proper brain power to piece together informed thoughts, i have a lil cousin with the same disease, and its no joke so ima leave it at that. this is a gentlemans discussion, not for lames with the IQ of an apple.
-
thanks for curtsying out so gracefully 'thuggy'...
recycling isnt revolutionary. no matter what jimmy whispers in his ear or pads his bank account with.
curtis is cornpops.
-
if curtis is cornpops, then that must make you a fruitloop. you are seriously reaching if you cant acknowledge the impact he made on the rap game with what he did with mixtapes. i get it, you old and crusty and its hard to deal with the fact that its not the 90s anymore, but it aint that hard to give credit where its due
-
keep up the embelishment laced specu'hatin on me if it makes you feel more 'thuggy'...
its easier for me to just use your own words to show whos skirt is flyin up in the breeze... ;)
now get back to countin another mans dollars son.
nothin personal. 8)
-
i never mentioned his wealth at any time, you stay steady reachin. and im startin to think words aint the only thing you try to put in another mans mouth
-
hits, success, numbers...
blah blah blah... same schit...
irrelevant bullschit when it comes to music and 'classic' hiphop records...
the only one reaching is you, in an attempt to defend your own defensiveness... dont get it twisted just cause your panties are...

nigga get tha fuck OUTTA HERE! 50 cent is mallrap? fam you dumb as fuck real talk. ima keep it plain n simple, fuck what ANYBODY says Get Rich or Die Trying was a CLASSIC RAP ALBUM. I'm talking Hip-Hop hall of fame shit. regardless of your personal tastes, if you fail to recognize that then you dont know shit about the genre. he's nowhere near as relevant as he used to be & i dont even really fuck with his music like that anymore but in his prime 50 Cent was THAT NIGGA. Not mention how he pretty much single handedly made the mixtape game what it is today.

so here's crack's take on Fif:
he changed/revolutionized the rap-game by making album-format mixtapes a 'thing'. most current rappers in the game right now owe him that, straight up. his first album is a classic and he has had some of the biggest hits in the 2000's ("In Da Club" is one of the biggest rap records ever, no denying that.)
that's all in the past though. the main flaw with 50 cent in 2012 is that he never fully developed/grew as an artist. 50's main draw was how hard he was, his cockiness, his whole tough-guy attitude/image, but we never really got too much depth from him as a writer. lil hints of it here and there, but it seems like 50 just wanted to give us this hard, gangster persona that beefs with everyone. all that negativity got old and people were over his bullshit. he bodied people left and right, but lost his edge when dealing with Game and Rick Ross when it comes down to it.
the man is really talented and funny as fuck imo, but he just doesn't have that "it" factor anymore. he's stuck in 2006 musically and needs to progress as a musician/person.
(a good example of his lack of creativity is all the shitty tracks he's hopped on the last year or two. "Like A G6" remix, that song with E-40/Too $hort, his songs with Jeremih and Soulja boy. he seems like he's desperate for radioplay/hits, so he's hoppin on other people's hot tracks atm, which is something he'd never do before.)
-
yo that toot it and boot it remix was hot though
-
i feel you crack. he said his black magic album was supposed to have some euro-inspired electro shit or somethin. id rather hear him get on some new shit instead all his gangsta shit. this nigga rich as fuck he need start spittin that "luxury rap"
-
gimmickrap diehard tryhard a classic? pffffuahhahahah...
jimmys masta plan can only take a one dimensional "emcee" so far...
toot it and boot it
i rest my case... 8)
dude DOES have a sense of humor, which i find a trait which makes emcees entertaining, yet he seems to take himself
WAY too seriously... just like a couple heads on here... ;)
-

this statement alone makes you either an idiot, or just a troll.
-
good thing ive made a few more statements than that... 8)
but coming from someone with the googoogaagaa rapper as his avatar, i have to crack a smile... and a smiley... :)

had me dying, sig'd.
smokecrack, thugnificent, and camron are on point in this thread, get rich or die classic is definitely a classic. can't lie, the production was a main factor in that, but his flow was on point, lyrics were pretty good, and like thug said, his hooks were untouchable. holy shit is this song still tight:

the forefather of lame up there sure visits a 50 cent thread quite often for someone who fails to acknowledge his brilliance. i think it just hurts him too much to admit he's a fan
-
brilliance.
pure comedy... :D
thanks for the laughs son...
50... LOL...
-
forgot about back down, i played that track out in 2003, ja rule couldn't recover from a diss that good haha. how to rob is hilarious, clearly made to draw attention to himself by means of getting famous artists worked up, and it worked; i think jay-z, big pun, and a couple other dudes released diss tracks at 50, which only served to introduce him to all of the fans of these hugely popular rappers. 50 is a smart dude.

i disagree but i'm biased because i love c&s shit. regardless, that was a cool edit, i enjoyed it.
and mongo: come on dude, you're only embarrassing yourself at this point, we're trying to have a conversation about an artist we enjoy and you're just hating, no other way to describe your actions haha. and i'm not even trying to insult you with the sig, even if i sided with you in the debate i would've found that shit hilarious.
-
Yeah I know I've been pretty anti 50 this thread but some part of me still enjoys this song. I still remember what track number it was on the album haha. I almost got this CD taken away from my mom when she heard a few of the songs.

pretty underrated kinda newer mixtape from him, definitely worth a listen
-
I love GRODT when it came out which really made me get into his older albums like Power of the Dollar and Guess Whose Back plus ALL the music released online from mix tapes and unreleased stuff. After The Massacre, which was okay compared to GRODT (can't up that album), he really seemed to get into his business side after those first 3 commercial releases but still made sick mixtape music. Overall I always have and will like 50 Cent thats all I got to say.
-
Haha I just found out today my friends dad produced a song from Power Of The Dollar.
