Eminem fans - You need to support 50 Cent

[stillmatic]

I'm gonna post this here rather than the G-Unit area because this has a lot to do with Hip Hop overall.

First of all, I just want to let people know I was never ever a major fan of 50 Cent, in all honesty. Up until I saw how he was treated last year.

Lets break it down.

Mixtapes: Every single mixtape he's ever put has been dope. He's the godfather of it, without 50 Cent, mixtapes be as important as they are now. No question.

Albums:
Get rich or die trying: Classic.
Massacre: Fantastic, don't let the haters make you think otherwise. Listen to it, you'll bump it hard.

Then we get to Curtis and BISD, and this is where the music industry fucked 50 Cent up, and so much of Eminem's comments on the industry come into play. 50 Cent is a gangster rapper, always has been. The industry forced him to make an album where he shows "something different" and that "he's progressed". You always hear that, "oh its the same old". 50 Cent puts out a very weak and heavily pop influenced 'Curtis' (clear he's not comfortable, he said so himself that he changed change his style) and predictably it was garbage, and the critics said he was selling out.

Then he goes back to his roots with BISD, but too much and tries a little to hard to be grimey to make up for Curtis, and the critics and industry say it's way too violent, and same old 50 Cent and it has no replay value. This is the exact same way they went at Nas after Illmatic for a long time, same with DMX, Wu Tang rappers etc. There is no winning here for 50 Cent. In saying that, BISD is seriously a dope album. Yeah it's harsh and slow at times, but it's easily up there with the best albums of 2009, just listen to it with an open mind and no consideration for what others have said.

50 Cent has finally realized this. His come to acknowledge that speaking of the harsh realities of life don't go down to well, look at how many awards Biggie and Pac got when they were alive for example, hardly any. He literally doesn't care what they say now, and he's gonna go back to the 50 Cent who does music for himself, and his fans. He needs Eminem fans support though, because if there is any artist's fans that know how much bullshit the industry, critics and 'yes men' can influence an artist, it's Eminem fans.

By the way, 50 cent always speaks the truth. Everything he's always said about another rapper has been correct. I've always thought this, even when I wasn't a fan. His comments on Diddy, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross just in the last 12 months should've been supported more Eminem fans.

I like 50 but he's fallen off. Even when he tries to do the gangster shit it's not the same.

dude looks way too malnurished nowadays to even care

Right.. when you go from as jacked as that dude was to lookin' like you should be playin' Tyrone in Dave Chapelle's crackhead skits, you're fuckin' up.


Anyway, as for the actual topic.. I don't NEED to support anyone. Especially JUST because they are connected to Em..

That being said, I actually have not yet heard BISD I should probably do that.

Curtis was the only album I didn't care for but it seems like everybody jumped on this Fuck 50 bandwagon like it's some cool thing to do.

Honestly though BISD was pretty good imo. He had average lyrics like usual, his flow sounded good on the beats which were bangin, and didn't have a million features like everybody else.

People need to just take him for what he is and just enjoy the music, he's not going to be as lyrical as Em and he's not going to be as hungry as when he just started. It's the same for most rappers, but if you can't accept that then fair enough, don't listen to him.

Anyway, nobody should have to support anyone, if you like 50 you support him, if not then don't. I just don't get how people can put him so low like he's on some Cucci Mane or Waka Flocka shit

[stillmatic]

Every artist has bad albums. 'Curtis' was one bad album, Jay-Z had three bad albums after Reasonable Doubt, Nas had 2 bad albums after 'It was written', Eminem had a bad album after 'Eminem Show' and so forth.

The difference is 50 Cent is being blackballed by the industry and 50 Cent is just speaking truth.
