A symbol of everything wrong with hip-hop. He has no flow, unbelievably bad lyrics, and no subject material except "I'll kill you"...and he still sells a ton. The people who buy his albums are either white, upper-class kids who don't listen to any other rap, or black people who try to hide their weakness by pretending they're thugs. Listen to Jay-Z, B.I.G., Kanye, Big L, and Nas, and then tell me that 50 Cent has any talent whatsoever. But don't worry, his new album is going to flop horribly and we won't hear much from him anymore.
