Not giving a f*ck about those things doesn't mean you don't care how you present yourself. He does care about how he presents himself because as Afro so correctly pointed out, he has a lot to lose. If he lost his fanbase that loves him because of how he puts himself across on TV, he'd be FINISHED. He hasn't got the talent to succeed without blindly spellbinding the masses into liking him.
You kids and your damn pipedreams. The things you list that make him "gangsta" are pathetic. He's rich, if that now means "gangsta" haha. You keep saying "From what I heard", from where? 50 and his cronies? The rumour mills? His MTV interviews? Yes, real credible sources.
Yeah, a lisping talentless idiot who can't do anything besides go on TRL and plug his albums to fangirls and boys who are still impressed with things that shine and sparkle.
He's not a literal gangster, we've established that.
The aspect I find hilarious is how people are looking up to him and IMAGINING him with all these wonderful qualities based on "what they know" which is always the old "Shot nine times, mum died, sold crack" story. So? I know people like that, big deal.
Saying you won't "change" over money is a lie, because given the things you've just cited as positive, you'd be into all that, which I can assume you aren't into now (unless you're a multi millionaire and I'm unaware).
Either way, this is all a bit redundant seeing as none of it pertains to the music.-AC
No. Not anyone cannot sell crack. Sure if your going by the literal sense by someone physically handing paraphernalia into the palm to a buying customer in exchange for currency, then yes, lol but as you said drastically or dramatically, not just anyone would be able to do it. It takes a certain amount of testicular fortitude to know and face the risks that come with the game, which is a very high stakes game at that. You'd have to be a G to be able to grab the bull by the horns, so to speak. And do you think if 50 lost all his millions, he won't get back in the game? He'd get back in in microsec. Why? cause he knows he can do it cause he's a G. And above all he's been there already.
My ruthless comment was relevant, what are you talking about. To be be ruthless is to be gangsta. Well it depends. If you're being ruthless on some suka s*** then you're wack, but if you're that way as a G, it's gangsta.
If he loses his fanbase he's finished? haha that's funny. Unless you meant his music career, in which I'm 90% sure that's what you meant, then he'd be fine anyway. 50's family will be wealthy for the next couple of centuries maybe more. If he were to lose his fanbase , he'd go on vaca at a race track in Monaco with the Prince the next morning watching the Euro Grand Prix live at front row with his Yankee fitted on, while drinking Aussie Spumante with Vivica's sister and royalty.
You say he's a lisping talentless idiot who can't do anything besides go on TRL and plug his albums to fangirls and boys and I say well he's doing something right. He's considered successful. Not by you but to many other people and "probably" even by people you respect. And TRL whoa, he was on that s***? lol see, that's wack. I didn't catch that though but O well.
But 50's just gonna be 50, like I said. I don't know him personally, I'm in no way influenced by him or his music cause it's not profound enough for me to listen to, but i'm not gonna say he's stupid cause i don't like what he's doing. It's none of my business. I only don't like his flow that's it. The rest is abstract.
And you're just basing it all on the few things i considered supposedly positive. You know AC, sometimes you think you know people on here merely using assumption and the few scraps of info you read on one or 2 posts, that's the thing with you. You're saying that if I become rich I'm gonna change? Sure I'll have cooler stuff, so what, those things come and go and won't mean s*** to me if they were taken away. But my ideals won't change. My persona would change. I won't develop a delusion of grandeur.
I'll still be "me". Millionaire or not whether you believe it or not.
This is all a bit redundant seeing as none of it pertains to the music? Your right cause it pertains to the thread question, so we're on the right track. Even though it is about a musician, or whatever you wanna call it.

You started the paragraph with "No. Not anyone cannot sell crack".
A) I assume you mean "can", not "cannot".
B) You countered it yourself. Yes, anyone can sell crack. Moving on...

This is why I believe you subconsciously view criminal activity as a positice. Testicular fortitude? As in, having the balls? Being man enough? That's not what you need to sell crack and be involved in the "crack game". I'd call it something along the lines of stupidity.

I don't give a shit, to be honest. He could overdose tomorrow and I'd not so much as shrug. My point being that he's not a gangster now.

Gangsta as in "Cool" or gangsta as in gangster? He's not a gangster, so you must be cool, in which case being "ruthless" or greedy isn't.

You're implying that's it's cool to be a smart businessman, more or less. 50 isn't a smart businessman, he just has millions of stupid clients.
50 going platinum doesn't mean he's good, it means a million people are stupid.

Centuries? No...just no.
Secondly, yes that's what I meant. His music career would be finished.

You have 50 posters on the wall don't you? You sound, honestly, like a 10 year old speaking about his favourite wrestler.

He's been on TRL so many times it's ridiculous, he's their boy. He's MTV's boy.
Nobody I respect TRULY likes 50 Cent, I can guarantee that more or less.
Doing something right? If his goal is to make money at all costs, he's going on ONE road that leads to it, yes. I wouldn't say that's "doing something right".

No no, you misunderstood me. You cited a few things as positives (mansions etc), I'm assuming that due to how you fantasised, you are incapable of living the mansion million dollar lifestyle now, correct? Upon becoming rich, you would be living that life, a different life.

Nope, but I have known many people who dealt heavily in them and two who died as a result. Let me tell you, nothing ballsy about it.
Also, it's not necessary for what I'm claiming, is it? No.
My claim: It doesn't make you manly, it doesn't take machismo to sell drugs. Fact. Moreover, anyone can factually sell and exchange drugs. Fact.
Debate those if you will (try, they're facts).

Yes. My mistake. I meant "can" but I in no way countered. I merely stated what you meant and what you could've meant by saying anyone can sell crack.
And I'm telling you, you can be a punk in the crack game. It's a fact that if you're soft, you won't last and an opinion that practically anyone can sell crack. It's not as easy as buying and selling. That's not all there is to it. There're dozens of things you must and will face in the game that require being smart and strong. And that's not including the risks.
And how do you know 50 isn't a smart businessman. Do you hang out with him? What, you don't think he's capable? I wonder why...A dude comes up out the hood and low expectations are assumed upon. See, that's why heads don't even try to better themselves cause there's always The Man saying your not smart or you're a stupid business man.. 50 does have other ventures going on. How do you know how wack of a businessman he is.
And he's stupid because his stupid fans buy his s***? That's foul, lol. And uncalled for. I'm sure we we're young fans of a product or toy we wanted badly. Or maybe a CD you couldn't wait for that you thought was nice and I thought was lame. Should that make you stupid in my eyes? Because the music that you purchased of you own liking, was lame to me? C'mon, AC.
And 50 has many millions. OK, there's a possibility that maybe his money might not see centuries but a few generations from now. And if the money was invested properly, then yes centuries.
50cent posters, eh. lol. It was a joke. What does my telling you, in obvious humor, what 50 will do on vaca, with my being a fan and having his pics hung up. I didn't get that but I hope you get this: I'm no fan of 50, to make it clear.
I know your wit, AC. And I know you we're being sarcastic when you wrote that. I found it pretty funny actually. But in the case that I'm wrong in my assumption and you weren't f***in' around. Ill say this: Don't you have a sense of humour, i was f***in' with you with the 50 vaca thing. But that's just in case.

It is a fact that anyone can buy or sell crack though. Anyone can choose to be in the "crack game". They might not last long, but anyone can choose to be in it, this is a fact.

Don't be a damn hypocrite. You're assuming why I said it.
He's not a smart business man, he has dumb clients.

Don't play the race card with me.
If you teach at a school for idiots and do great, you're not madly intelligent, you're working with idiots who don't know anything. Same with 50, he's not smart. He's just smartER than the idiots who buy his records.

It's not about musical taste, in the context I said it.
You claim he is a smart business man (I'll say this one more time) right? Why? LOOK at his fanbase, don't be so chicken sh*t as to deny that it's because he's working with TRL fans, who are idiots.

Not centuries, realistically anyway. This is irrelevant.

The way you speak about him just puts you across as being some enamoured admirer of his non-existent "business savvy" and fame. It's kinda sad.

I know you obviously don't have posters from what you've said, but that's the IMPRESSION you give off.
-AC
So all his TRL fans are idiots for buying his music and I come across as a chicken sh*t hypocrite admirer cause it seems to you that i'm on his side.
haha, you could never keep it civil, hu AC. You get too emotional and forget that this is a forum where there are such things as a difference of opinion. Has your God complex heard of it. I wondered why #16 wrote (no AC) on his title.
wow. just.
Yo. We just disagree, man. and that's it. And as much as you hate people that disagree with you, I think the total opposite of what you think without caring 1 bit about what you think of me and about it, homie.
You think of 50 one way and i think of him in another way. Either way i'm done.
1
I never said you are one, I said you come across as one. There's a big difference.
Civil? Every debate I have is civil. I don't dislike you, this is nothing personal to me. If YOU are taking it personally, then I pity you, but that doesn't mean I am buddy. It's nothing but a small thing to me.
Ironically, the only people who have ever referred to me as a God or thinking I am a God, are others. I've never once said it about myself, nor do I think it. So thank you for having that opinion of me, I'm flattered.
Opinions and facts run equally on a discussion board. Just the way it goes.
It's an open discussion board, you're going to meet posters that don't agree with you. If you have such a problem that you're going to resort to titles such as "No AC" then you should go find a forum where everyone agrees. Discussion forum means discussion. Check your ability to do so at the door.
You said it's not good to assume, there you go making an assumption. Such a damn hypocrite.
I don't care if people disagree with me, it's the nature of life, I accept that on a discussion board not everyone will agree. It just so happens that I know my shit, if you don't like discussions, don't come here. I don't care if you agree or not, just don't complain.

There's so much comedy in this thread that it's hard to choose one specific quote to highlight this summation. However, it would take something pretty hysterical to beat this gem:

50 Cent is in my hood next week. I'm thinking of buying a ticket so I can use the experience as a case-study to further my research on 'De-evolution: Investigating the Exception that Proves the Rule'.
