I'm gonna start this one off by saying I am no longer a fan of 50 Cent...
I still admire what he overcame, but to be real he didn't turn it into a positive. Yea, he's not on the streets anymore, but he's in the booth telling stories about what he will do, when he never will do it. The music industry is about storytelling and getting people to see and understand what they normally would never come across. The trouble comes when you present them with stories about yourself that aren't true. He came from Southside Jamaica Queens, New York. He got shot 9 times. He has a son. He has sex a lot. He gets a lot of women. Oh yea...he gets money. Bluntly, he has contributed nothing positive to the world of music at all. Sure he give money to charities, but the damage his music creates far outweighs the good. To call yourself a member of "Gorilla Unit", is one of the most ignorant statements I have heard. If you know what racism thinks of blacks then you know why it's ignorant...
Lil' Wayne:
Anyone who has talked to me about music knows I hate Souljah Boy, Lil' Wayne, and any other rapper that talks about NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in their songs. I could go down the list, but hey, I don't wanna overwhelm whoever reads this. I'm tired of hearing fantasies, tell me the truth in the song you make, don't say you kill people but the only time you are known to have a weapon is when you either shoot yourself, or get caught with an EMPTY gun! Not to mention the jewelry incident, where's the money you were sittin on in the "Make It Rain" video. I'll admit Wayne is a hard worker, but his work consists of the same shit....
Let me run it down for you...
Murder, Sex, Drugs, Money, Swag Level, Toughness... 6 recurring themes that just repeat themselves, you don't have to take my word for it, just listen to any of his numerous mixtapes...you'll hear it...
Recently he made statements that should be addressed, and make all of the ignorant Lil' Wayne fans understand who they are listening to. By ignorant I mean misinformed about him. Saying you will kill someone is not cool, and then saying it and not doing it is really not cool. I have more respect for a person who keeps their word than a person who misleads for the sake of street cred.
Check out this link, it also has the audio of what he said...

He also has said he is "da god".
Get your cups ready, I'm about to fill em up...
You don't gotta feel me on it, I'm just the messenger, so you can't say you didn't know...

Really, trying to get out of rap music, it starting not to appease me any more cause they don't tell stories anymore. Like real stories, I like Kanye but sometimes he off the wall. I love Common and Taleb kali and Mos Deff and almost every thing old school and in the 97 and back basically. Dang I done went thru a whole lot of what I like.LOL What you listening to HipHop lately?
From12another
In Hip-Hop I listen to Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Wu-Tang, Hi-Tek, Will Smith, Outkast, Chamillionaire, Chino XL, Joe Budden, Common, KRS-One, Rakim, LL Cool J, Run DMC, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, NYoil, & many others...
I listen to the garbage music too such as 50, Lil' Wayne & all the other rappers. I do so only so I know what I am up against... It is foolish to try & fight something you don't fully understand.
It used to be that the music business was about the love of the music & giving silenced people a voice. Now it has become a business monopolized by "gangsters" & big booty women & violence. It has strayed from its original intent due to money hungry individuals...
Be sure to check out my other new Joint titled, "Raised By Rappers" it leads into the next portion of the "Heavy Dose" discussion. Thanks again for the comments, good to know I'm reaching people.
