Kryptnotic	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 12:30 PM I hate the dude but this looks pretty cool (if you delete all the music n stuff) http://www.artistdirect.com/50cent?aff=50sm
K3VIN	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 12:54 PM ye cept.. the part where hes like" ima gangster" -_- for when she asks him the career.. gangsters do other things then just be gangster -_- idk and i dont think everything will be accurate to his story they have to make shit up to make it sound beter
hantu	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 2:30 PM i saw an interview of him the other day.... i realised where he gets his style to rap from... He actually speaks that way ... yeh and the only difference is that he don't rhyme when he speaks. Hmmm anyway, o yeh and he said the film is loosely based on his real life, coz it has to be interesting for the audience. So he admits his life is boring. hmmmm

aflunky	Date: November 9, 2005 @ 9:09 PM I can make this movie better: Replace 50 with Redman Change the Title to "If you watch this movie, I'll suck your dick!" If they do these things, I'm sure they'll sales will improve dramaticly, I Don't know, that's just my 2 Cent.

pangtera	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 5:40 AM Some rappers have unusual real names: Snoop Dogg: Calvin 50 Cent: Curtis Eminem: Marshall Chuck D: Carlton Coolio: Artis Common: Lonnie DMX: Earl Ice Cube: Oshea MC Hammer: Stanley Xzibit: Alvin
AznVelution	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 7:45 AM thats ice cubes name wat the fuck....DMX earl.....lol
shadowself	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 11:43 AM Re K3VIN's post: does "gangster" not mean what it used to? I was under the impression that gangsters were criminals who terrorized neighbourhoods, did drive-by shootings, killed people, had bloody wars with other gangs, etc.
Amp	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 11:55 AM u see thats the real reason those guyz become rappers...so they cant change there names...and if there famous they will always be called by that name... smart
hantu	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 12:02 PM have any of them actually offically changed their name? I wonder who their mail is sent to "calvin" or "snoop"
shadowself	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 12:05 PM Or if telemarketers call and ask "May I please speak to... uh... Mr. or Ms. Cent?"
K3VIN	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 1:21 PM being a gangster is not a profession and 50 cent sold crack.. he doesnt do shit now but still speaks about it like he does.. and he might not of done all those things cept sell crack but w/e im typing with one hand and dont feel like saying mote shit
AmenClankets	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 1:35 PM Did you know that that the guy in Korn who did all that religous shit and quit the band actually wrote a letter to 50 saying that if should convert. Odd
pangtera	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 3:21 PM Mr. or Mrs. Cent. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
TFive	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 3:25 PM fuck 50 cent and that whole regime.
hantu	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 3:37 PM golly!!! i know he is rich and famous but i don't think i would go as far ac fucking the guy .. .
TransAutobot	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 4:52 PM -_- Its so annoying to see people always trying to look down on the whole "gangster"/"gangsta" thing. Its what they do... Its how they live, It cant be changed. I see acouple people going on about "O I hate gangster this, I hate gangster that"... But YET, when it comes to watching the Saprano's its GREAT. Or The Goodfella's or The Godfather, or that other Movie that tony montana was in that I cant remember. O Those kinds are fine, but not the ones in music, noooooo those gangsters are the bad ones...
hantu	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 5:34 PM erm .... Fiction Non-fiction
shadowself	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 5:54 PM "Its so annoying to see people always trying to look down on the whole "gangster"/"gangsta" thing. Its what they do... Its how they live, It cant be changed." I am so sorry that I look down on crack dealers, murderers, pimps, and people who spent their days assaulting others and committing crimes. Maybe I should start worshipping them and emulating them, eh? And again, I am with Sham... comparing these people to fictional characters like Tony Soprano is absolutely ridiculous.
shadowself	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 5:55 PM Also, 50 Cent seems PROUD that he was/is a crack dealer. This is bullshit, the guy should be shot and pissed on.
TransAutobot	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 6:04 PM Fiction and Non-Fiction? Some of them just rap about it. Not all rappers that rap about being gangsters are gangster. Wow. Thats like me believe that Death-Metal rockers actually "do" what they talk about in their songs. Doesnt always work that way. So comparing it isnt all that ridiculous is it. In both scenerio's when you look at it, its acting. Except one is actually showing and playing it out in film, and the other is simply talking about it.
TransAutobot	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 6:08 PM He's proud of it? Since when? You ever seen the video biography on 50Cent? There was one on MTV called 50Cent - All Eyes On Me. Im pretty sure you havent seen it... It was 50's exact thoughts. Everything that was said came straight from him. If your going to hate on someone, at least have a reason.
shadowself	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 6:25 PM Its what they do... Its how they live If you are defending their crimes, murders, rapes, hard drug deals, assaults, etc., because it is "what they do" and "can't change", then this is the stupidest thing I have ever seen on DMusic. However, if you mean "what they do" is to rap about violence and crime, I'll retract that opinion. > Wow. Thats like me believe that Death-Metal rockers actually "do" what they talk about in their songs. Doesnt always work that way. You can understand lyrics in death metal? I thought they all just went "wwwaaaaauuughhhhh!! graaaaaauuugh!!" :) > "Not all rappers that rap about being gangsters are gangster." No one mentioned "all rappers". But you can't argue that the gangsta rappers are basically promoting violence and gang lifestyle, making it seem 'cool' - even if they don't do it themselves. I am not implying that listening to the music causes this behaviour at all, but think about this: how many Sopranos fans try to emulate the people in the show? Not many. Now... how many gangsta rap fans emulate their heroes? This is getting long. My point is - I am just stunned that I put down 50 Cent for being a criminal, and you defended him because it's "what he does". I was not generalizing, I was talking about him specifically, an admitted crack dealer. " id="174140"> Wow.

hantu	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 6:28 PM hmm okay!!! I haven't seen the 50 interview thingy... i don't really watch MTV. You imply that he is not proud of what he did... he don't do it anymore (from what i know) which is good, yet he still bases his image on what he did... ok fine, thats his life, thats what made him who he is... but are you not meant to put things like that behind you, rather than promoting it and urself in the process. But i guess changing wouldn't be good enough for those panzy gansta wannabe's out there. You know what, come to think of it maybe its not 50's fault he promotes his gansta image... he wants to rap and the best way to do it is stay gansta... coz the stupid twats that like that whole thing like him for it... And the rest of the shit out there like death-metal or w/e is crap too.... the world needs to start listening to music not a friggin lifestyle.... Thats prolly didn't make sense... i have too many opinions rolling round in my head... im tired... rite... time to get an energy drink of some sort and back to work.... Ima not gonna come back to this thread... i think
hantu	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 6:29 PM "You can understand lyrics in death metal? I thought they all just went "wwwaaaaauuughhhhh!! graaaaaauuugh!!"

If you could use that past to your advantage along with a talent to freestyle, be a rich and sucessful and be in the SAME position he is right now, your telling me that you wouldnt do it at all ---- "Have you been reading the thread? 50 Cent says he is a gangster and is/was a crack dealer. But somehow because he is a rapper, this makes this activity "cool", and he seems to be quite proud of his criminal activity, and like a few others in his genre, actively promotes and glamourizes it." Reading a thread? You want me to read other peoples opinions? No thanks. I'd rather hear it from the source. "If you are defending their crimes, murders, rapes, hard drug deals, assaults, etc., because it is "what they do" and "can't change", then this is the stupidest thing I have ever seen on DMusic. However, if you mean "what they do" is to rap about violence and crime, I'll retract that opinion." Im not defending murder or crimes ("rapes? wtf, what rapper you know raps about raping?") or the rest of the things you said the are basically the same things, just different words to make it look like a long list. But what I am say is not all people that rap about it, do it. I could make a song right now about me fighting aliens on mars. Now would u believe that too since I was rapping about it? "You can understand lyrics in death metal?" I've seen and heard some lyrics on death metal music. And I can tell you some of it isnt all that pleasant. "No one mentioned "all rappers". But you can't argue that the gangsta rappers are basically promoting violence and gang lifestyle, making it seem 'cool' - even if they don't do it themselves." Guess what. So does VIDEO GAMES, TV, MOVIES and EVERYTHING ELSE. Does that mean you shouldnt and wont watch or listen to that too? MOST video games have violence in them. Basically promoting it and making it look "cool". Most or Any video game that may come to your mind will have some kind of violence in it. Theres alot of tv shows and movies that promote violence to. So does that mean your not going to watch them? Cause if it does, I hope you practice what you preach. Otherwise your just a hypocrite. "I am not implying that listening to the music causes this behaviour at all, but think about this: how many Sopranos fans try to emulate the people in the show? Not many. Now... how many gangsta rap fans emulate their heroes?" How would you know? Do you actually know?? Is there some statics on murderers that watch Sopranos or violent movies somewhere that get recorded?? Not every murder is going to show up on the news. And if you dont watch the news at all, thats not really helping your case either. Even without the music the same things would be going on. You sitting their trying to act like the world would be a rainbow place if gangster rappers didnt rap about violence. News flash, THATS A BIG NEGATIVE. Because guess what, even if people didnt "hear" it, there would be a movie MADE about it. Some soprano guy blowing the brains out of some guy that didnt have his money. Peachy clean right? The songs are entertainment, the punchlines, the wordplay, the instrumentals, and everything else... all entertainment. It might be negative to you, but to someone like me that listens to it and knows the difference between right and wrong... its entertainment. Sort of like how you can go watch blood and guts getting shot out of a person's body or see a gun put to someones mouth and watch them pull the trigger in a Scarface movie or Saprano show. 2 Different things, 1 where you hear it, and 1 where you actually see it in action and all the motives for it, where you might be able to purchase the things u seen in the movie. --- And a friend at an italian resturant I worked at used to listen to DeathMetal. We were pretty close. I dont understand that music much. He listens to it, I dont. but I dont judge it or angry over it.
TransAutobot	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 7:54 PM but I dont judge it or get angry over it. 2 Different things. 1 where you hear it, and 1 where you actually see it in action and all the motives for it, and might learn where you can purchase things you seen in the movie. Bah, errors. Theirs probably more but its too long to go back and check for all of them
K3VIN	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 8:20 PM i ahvent read what u said but i dont like 50 cent nor supported what he said.. the rappers i listen to have some songs like the above but they are very different and dont talk about being gangsters and shit.. and hes not proud of what hes done.. im not sticking up for him but get ur facts straight not many people are proud when they have to kill/rob or w/e just to survive
K3VIN	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 8:21 PM and he doesnt talk abotu taht shit nemore he talks about other things -_-
K3VIN	Date: November 10, 2005 @ 8:24 PM like candyshop and other pop crap shit i dont remember candy shop being about crack dealers, murderers, pimps, and people who spent their days assaulting others and committing crimes it was garbage but it wasnt about taht.. or whats taht other song.. yea.. fuck..
