firstly em's only put out 4 album's
Four albums in 5 years, and 4 VERY SUCCESSFUL Albums. MMLP went diamond a while ago. Encore is currently at almost 4.5 million and it's only been out not even four months yet. That's a little over 1 million sold per month.
Also, you are not counting things such as "Devils' Night", "D12 World" or the 8 Mile soundtrack. In addition to that, the success of his 4 solo albums and 3 collaborative albums caused him to get a movie deal made about his life basically. He has also become one of the most respected rappers around right now and there is no doubt he's a future legend. He has worked with the best in the game, and the other legends he hasn't worked with, he's friends with.
You say "four albums" like that's not much. Dude is the 3rd best selling rapper of all time and he should be passing up the Beastie Boys soon, who have the Number 2 spot.
.....aside that yeah i am also a em dickryder [and krs 1]...even tho i can only listen to 4/5 tracks of encore,
I listen to a bit more than that. I dig tracks 1-8, 15, 16, and 20. On top of that, the bonus disc was awesome as well, so add another 3 tracks.
anyways you see 50 so negatively, am confused on 50, i was a big fan before GRODT, then didnt like him, then when the massacre dropped i was a huge hater, but that whack shit is starting to rub off on me.
Damn right I see 50 negatively. I have NEVER liked the guy. However, when he first came out with "Wanksta", I knew the whole song was a diss at Ja Rule, who I hate, so, lol, I was willing to give him a chance. Then when "In Da Club" dropped, I found out he was signed to Eminem, I was really interested in giving the guy a shot, cuz I was thinking "well, if Em signed him, he must have talent". Yeah, well, when thinking that I forgot that Eminem also thinks Bizarre has skills.
Either way, I got a burned copy of GRODT and I thought it was complete shit. So, I decided as an artist I didn't like him. HOWEVER, my hatred for him started the first time I saw him in an interview and HE LITERALLY called himself "the next 2pac". I mean, Jesus, the dude doesn't hide the fact that he wants to be Pac. He even says on In Da Club "they like me, but I want 'em to love me like they love Pac". So, when he started saying he was the next 2pac, I really fucking hated him.
you can look at 50 with this perspective, he is a fake rapper, the majority are,
I disagree with you saying the majority are fake rappers. What do you consider a "fake rapper"?
And 50 is definately a fraud.
most people just hate because he is on top, if he gets popped watch all the haters show love, 50 knows he's not the greatest rapper, he know's he's a good buisnessman though, also he's good at getting a sympathy vote, like he's doing mineral water to inspire healthiness [ok to a degree i can relate and props to 50 for doing water instead of alcohol] but the dude's on steriods...thats sending a bad message lol
I think you already give him too much credit. I think he really does think he's the greatest rapper. I mean, I really believe that 50 is an insane egotist.
and he's a amazing spinner, he has me convinced some times that he's a good guy, he's sly.....but he's tactic's work, em and dre knew if they didnt sign him he was gonna blow anyway and cause an effect on the camp....so it was a good idea to snatch him, u know 50 would got famous by dissing eminem, so like it or not he's here...and he'll prob be here 2006....
I don't agree with this either. If Em and Dre hadn't picked up 50, I thik he'd still be in NY slinging crack.
to clear shit up i aint a 50 dickryder or hater...i listen to his music...i like some of it, majority i dont :thumb:
and just let jada reply and watch sparks fly
am lookin 4 nas and game to reply tho :thumb:
I can't stand the guy and I won't listen to his music, unless he happens to be a guest on someone else's track that I like.
I also am not a Game fan either. Though, I don't hate Game. I'm neutral on him. I like some of Game's songs but for the most part, i don't like his style, but I also have nothing against him as a person. Actually, I'm hoping he squashes 50 himself.
