rap music – 50 cent

fiddy50 cent says he is now worth $60 million. Guess I am not the only one who likes his music. I might be the only one my age who likes it.

Rap lyrics are ridiculous, I concede. But no other genre of music has been as innovative or as collaborative over the past 3-4 years. Listen to 50 cent Hate it or Love it — it is as catchy, as harmonic, as interesting as any song in years.

Go head envy me, I’m rap’s MVP.

I love vocal intensive music. Love the street doggerel.

Most of the best rappers come from the NWA > Dr. Dre > eminem > 50 cent > G Unit > Lloyd Banks > The Game lineage. Dre is the common denominator. Seems he can do no wrong.

Ludacris is good too.

But rap is limited. With very few & vile lyrical themes, where can it go next? Eminem & Ludacris use humour. That works.

Once the shock value of extreme lyrics wears thin, rap could quickly become boring. Uncool.

50 would be a nostalgia act at that point.

  1. I’ve loved Apple products for some time, they produce technology that is visually beautiful while working like a charm. I can’t say that about alot of companies, it’s usually one or the other. Companies don’t usually take aesthetics seriously like Apple. With that said I’ve got to say that I’m anxious about the new Tablet. One thing I question though, is it too soon? I think that this may be ahead of its time. What do you think?
