You figure it out...

 

 

Figure what out? I don't know what the hell that was supposed to equal except maybe that Eminem is rich.

 

But that's who 50 Cents is huh? All I've heard all week is about 50 Cents getting arrested and I'm like who the hell is 50 Cents? Why is this a big deal? Is this guy supposed to be famous or something?

 

It's just like all those rappers that pop up on MTV Cribs that nobody has ever heard of but for some reason are rich.

Part of being a celebrity, man. If he can't take, He can go the fuck away.

Some people can handle the limelight better then others. But you got to keep in mind that if you had tons of people following you, taking your picture, and asking for your autograph while you piss, then another 20 million kids trying to act like you, you may crack just a bit. Not saying what he's done is right or justified, but just try placing yourself in his shoes before you judge

[Guest Anglesault]

That, once again, is Eminem's fault 100 %. If he hadn't made himself such a cartoon, he would have a problem like that. Yes, he would have whacko fans. Everyone does. But if he wasn't just an easily parody-able character, he wouldn't have legions of people trying to be him. No one dresses up and acts like, say, Tom Cruise, because unless they told you what they were doing, you wouldn't notice anything different.

Eminem is indeed a character. A very marketable character. That is basically the reason he gets airplay. MTV and the radio can five two shits about his talent or anything else, but they see his stuff sells. Don't think for a second that when he calls Moby a dick, or insults a backstreet boy, that millions of angry teens don't grin ear to ear, so of course he is gonna keep his character up. I have noticed a trend among friends. The ones who listen to rap and is their favorite genre, either despise Eminem or just casually listen to his stuff, however a lot of my friends that don't like rap in the least, kind of like Eminem or can tolerate him and only him.....Maybe it is the same for me with Too Short. I don't particularly think Too Short's music is great or lyrically the best, I just feel his rap lyrics are so OVER THE TOP it is comical and makes me laugh when I listen to him, yet at the same time it is so over the top I don't REALLY take it seriously.

50 Cent is a rapper that Eminem signed a few months back, and is supposed to be this really good rapper. My friend Craig who is a Eminem look alike, says 50 Cent is awesome. However, Craig has the worst taste in music, other than Eminem. He only listens to rap, but likes Avril. Go figure, she sucks too and he likes her.

 

I think he is terrible rapper, and is only getting anywhere because he signed with Eminem's record company.

[Guest Respect The 'Taker]

You can give Em a topic, and he will find a way to rhyme it together, and make it amazing. For example, on the song "My Dad has Gone Crazy," the last few lines of the song, he says:

 

And that's pretty much the gist of it/The parents are pissed but the kids love it/9 millimeter heater stashed in 2 seaters with meat cleavers/I don't blame you, I wouldn't let Hailie listen to me neither

Uhm...Wow?

 

he actually makes his own music.

 

Define "make"

 

My favorite thing about Eminem is that he has a messege with every single song he writes

 

Ooh, ooh, can I guess the "message" in this one?

 

[Chorus: repeat 2X]

"All I see is murder murder, my mind state" -> 2Pac

"Makes it too late for cops in tryin' to stop the crime rate" -> Swift

"All I see is murder murder, my mind state" -> 2Pac

Murder murder murder, and kill kill kill!

 

[Eminem]

Left the keys in the van, with a gat in each hand

Went up in Eastland and shot a policeman

Fuck a peace plan, if a citizen bystands

the shit is in my hands, here's yo' life span

And for what yo' life's worth; this money is twice than

You grab a couple grand and lay up in Iceland

See I'm a nice man but money turned me to Satan

I'm thirsty for this green so bad I'm dehydratin

Hurry up with the cash bitch, I got a ride waitin

Shot a man twice in the back when he tried escapin

I want the whole pie, I won't be denied nathan

Maybe I need my head inside straightened

Brain contemplatin, clean out the register

Dip before somebody catches ya

or gets ya description and sketches ya

Then connects you as the prime suspect

But I ain't set to flee the scene of the crime just yet

Cause I got a daughter to feed

And $200 ain't enough to water the seed, the best thing

would be for me to leave Taco Bell and hit up Chess King

And have the lady at the desk bring

money from the safe in the back, stepped in wavin the Mac

Cooperate and we can operate and save an attack

This bitch tried escapin the jack

Grabbed her by the throat, it's murder she wrote

You barely heard a word as she choked

It wasn't nuttin for her to be smoked

Then I slammed her on her back 'til her vertebrae broke

Just then the pigs bust in yellin "Freeze!"

But I'm already wanted for sellin ki's

And bunch of other felonies from A to Z like spellin bees

So before I dropped to the ground and fell on knees

I bust shots, they bust back

Hit the square in the chest, he wasn't wearin a vest

 

[Chorus]

 

[Eminem]

Left the house, pullin out the drive backin out

We were backin out this lady's Jag started blackin out

Pulled the Mac-10 out, stuck it in her face

Shut ya yakkin mouth, 'fore I blow the brain from out the back ya scalp

Drug her by her hair, smacked her up

Thinkin fuck it, mug her while you're there, jacked her up

Stole her car, made a profit

Grabbed the tape from out the deck and offed it out the window

like the girl on "Set it Off" did

Jetted off kid, stole the whip, now I'm a criminal

Drove it through somebody's yard, dove into they swimmin pool

Climbed out and collapsed on the patio

I made it out alive but I'm injured badly though

Parents screamin: "Son, go in and call the police

Tell 'em there's a crazy man disturbing all of the peace!"

Tried to stall him at least long enough to let me leap up

Run in they crib and at least leave with some little cheap stuff

Actin like they never seen nobody hit a lick before

Smashed the window, grabbed the Nintendo 64

When they sell out in stores the price triples

I ran up the block jumpin kids on tricycles

And collided with an 80-year old lady with groceries

There goes the cheese, eggs, milk and Post Toasties

Stood up and started to see stars

Too many siren sounds, it seemed like a thousand police cars

Barely escaped, musta been some dumb luck

Jumped up and climbed the back of a movin dump truck

But I think somebody seen me maybe

Plus I lost the damn Nintendo and I must-a dropped the Beanie Baby

Fuck it I give up, I'm surrounded in blue suits

Came out with a white flag hollerin "TRUCE TRUCE!"

(Don't shoot!) Surrendered my weapon to cops

Wasn't me!  It was the gangsta rap and the peppermint Schnapps

 

[Chorus]

[Guest converge241]

i think his beats are great, thanx to much dre help and his rhymes are usually top-notch

 

he himself comes across as an annoying asshole most of the time

 

so I like his music but cant stand him..im able to make a seperation

[Guest ant_7000]

I think Eminem is the best MC in the game right now, he does it all besides rapping he's improving as a producer making his own beats, has his own label and signed 50 Cent who would've been signed a long time ago if Ja Rule and Irv Gotti wasn't trying to blackball him, eventhough Em signing 50 is a risky move since 50 already been shot 9 times, I think 50 is pretty good rapper and is worth the hype and his G-Unit crew is tight as well. But, back to Em, I like I said before when he is serious he is very talented, but when he is living up to Slim Shady shit for MTV, I not really feeling that shock value stuff anymore. I want to see Em battle Canibus thou, instead of the wack ass Benzino.

[Guest crandamaniac]

I think he (50 Cents) is terrible rapper, and is only getting anywhere because he signed with Eminem's record company.

You're right there. Royce Da 5'9" (Em's running buddy in Bad Meets Evil) is a much better rapper in my opinion.

Holy Run-on, Batman!

 

I also think it might be a good idea to distance yourself from a guy who has been shot nine fucking times. Something about that doesn't scream "good investment."

Naw, I got Royce's "Rock City" album and it was a big dissapointment, I hope 50 Cent lives up to the hype in his next album just like in "Guess Who's Back". I think Obie Trice is better than Royce on the mic thou, Im looking foward to Obie's album as well.

Well that is how at least 50% of the artists on radio today, in any genre make it. They know him or her, or this guy is a cousin...etc....of course no one finds out until they all start appearing in each other's videos.

[Guest redbaron51]

Not defending Eminem in anyway but that is pretty stupid.

 

Eminem or any other person could be a cartoon character, and if the mainstream media grabs a hold to it, and becomes popular, lots of people and the media will recongnize that character and that character only (Just like Kiss, if it wasn't for face paint, pyrotechnics, they would never be big, thats why no one really cares about 80's Kiss).

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I find him pretty annoying in general, but the biggest thing that puts me off about him is the constant mention of his ex, and that whole situation. Do a song about it, maybe even an album, but move on, and do something else.

[Guest Adrian 3:16]

 

So much ignorance in this thread.

 

To whoever asked the original question, its because 99% of the people in here know less than nothing about and/or are openly hostile to hip-hop music. That's you're answer.

[Guest RobJohnstone]

I do not like his style of hip hop. Infact I would go as far as to say he is corny. As far as hip hop is concerned I really only listen to rakim, kool keith (whichever name is under, it doesn't matter), and big l w.ditc. 99% of hip-hop on mtv is shit. Move on.
