text: why 50 cent? why are mumbling no-talent retards like 50 cent lauded for braying on about their cars, women, ice, what they drink, smoke... snore!!!!?? he's useless. common, mos def and (obviously) kanye are the best rappers out there, because they say something different in an original and witty way. when did rap become so apolitical? it's like public enemy and disposable heroes of hiphoprisy never existed. i agree!!!!!! finally someone with a lil sense that is not posting dumb a$$ questions like  "who thinks 50 cent is hot?". 50 sucks! i work in radio and i hate having to play his crap during my show.   p.s.... mos def is my favorite!!!!! :o)  pps... deuce iverson.... ciara is not a rapper. she sings. and she's not from the "streets". she started off modeling. thats not gangsta. shakira is not a rapper! and she is from columbia. thats not gangsta either. and chamillionaire has been around for about 5 minutes. he's not the greatest. he hasn't been around long enought. at least the tupac and biggie thing makes more sense... but i'm pretty sure you're just saying that because its something you heard while looking at bet or mtv, or maybe reading in your word up! magazine. sorry, but you're a dumb a$$ too.   i swear, i understand its entertainment... but its amazing how many people know nothing about music. 50 cent is no where near the best rapper. his lyrical content sucks! t.i. is not the greatest.... at all. he makes good songs... but he's no where near the best.   i work in radio, and i'm telling you... turn off your radios and tvs if you want to know what real rap and hip hop is.
