I always liked 50 Cent.. I've been on the net on a regular basis since about February, and I can say that the net and "reality" are almost like 2 different things from what ive seen on online forums..
For example, go to any internet board and most of the people (male and female) will say 50's wack, 50's trash, etc. and almost everyone will say Ras Kass is one of the greatest (which i personaly think hes good; not great tho).. But then in reality, 50 sells millions and millions of records, but Ras Kass has MAYBE sold 150,000 total.. and thats probaly stretching it..
So its like.. Do people hate the guy on top, just to hate? It seems like on the internet the "in" thing to do is diss the guy on top, and root for the underdog that nobody at your job/school/work has ever or will ever hear of.. I got a feeling that half of the people that say 50's garbage, are the same people who tell there boy "Yo turn that shit up" when 50's new single starts playing in their car.
It kinda reminds me of 2pac back in '96-'97.. I'd be playin 2pac in my walkman, someone would ask me who im listenin too, I'd say Pac, and they'd be like "Yo turn that bitch shit off"... But then ill go thru a persons cd collection in there house, and just about everyone has a copy of All Eyez On Me.. I just dont understand it..
