In all honesty and fairness, I'm assuming. However, I'm not making shots in the dark; I'm making a purely logical assumption. You could say I'm using deductive reasoning. I've known many gangbangers in my day (I used to be one myself), and I can honestly tell you that a sudden change in lifestyle doesn't automatically make a G change. In Fifty's case: propulsion into the mainstream. " You can take the thug out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the thug." Do you honestly think that he went from gang-bangin' and dope-slangin', to suddenly quitting overnight simply because he signed a contract?--I dont think so! Tupac didn't, Eazy E didn't, Ice Cube didn't, Biggie didn't, so why would Fifty?--It just doesn't make sense. If you ever get a chance to meet him, I dare you to tell him to his face "You're no gangsta, you're just a money making machine", and see what happens to you.

The following are my areas of musical expertise: Latin music (of any kind), Funk, R&B, and Hip Hop (mainly west coast). To be perfectly honest with you, I don't know anything about white-boy music; such as Heavy Metal, Alternative, Emo, Punk, any of that. So Alpha Centauri, if you were to say to me : "Duuude, I know like waaaaay more about Blink-182 than you do!" I wouldn't even argue because I can already tell you that you do.
