50 Cent: Not a Poet

Posted in Music by Elliott Back on March 25th, 2005.

In Patiently Waiting off his award winning album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ 50 Cent rhymes:

I’m the boss on this boat
You can call me Skipper

I actually thought he said:

I’m the bosun on this boat
You can call me Skipper

Of course, had he actually used the word “bosun” he would have been exhibiting a wider range of intelligence and vocabulary than can be attributed to a coke-dealing gangster…

Stop hate'n on "fifty"...you people kill me with your self-righteous remarks. So the brotha came from trashy beginnings...will you condem him to the day he dies. Give the man a break. You do what'cha gotta do to get ahead. He did just that-he made the most out of the life that was laid before him. Until you walk in his shoes or near the likes of.......get off'em!

I assume by "you people" what you really mean is me? Well, Fifty Cent is not that interesting a rapper, and this is my expression of disappointment at his vocabulary. There was such a great potential here... then bam! It went away.

50 cent is hailed as one of the biggest rappers around right now. However, his lyrics are total bollocks. Compared to Eminem his lyrics are about as smart as the brain of a bacteria. All he ever talks about, well I can't understand them as they are bollocks. He has as much talent as my mom rapping in the shower. Also, it seems he has a speech defect. Just listen to his interviews.

Whilst Jeran Winter is correct that 50 Cent is not as good as Eminem, I completely disagree with this imbecile that he is rubbish. He is well good and his lyrics are easy to understand unless you are a retard. Furthermore he is a proper gangster and Jeran Winter is the one with the speech problem cos he is American.

vocab has nothing to do with rap lyrics, artist use all kinds of words and sounds to excite on a album, that's part of the business to create style and words that probably haven't been invented yet, you dumb ass, correct english is for school not for record tracks. have you heard the song 50 made about "WANKSTA" that's a perfect exapmle of creativity, which is probably what you are for making that stupid comment
