His yet-to-be-released LP is ranked #12 at Amazon.

I quite like the tracks I've heard, but I'm curious why people are responding to him so strongly.

Is it a return to thug-ism?

I still can't believe that's a real song name.

Am I the only person who thinks 50 cent looks like an angry version of Roger from What's Happening?

six years pass...

Im relistening to '50 cent is the future' (inspired by noz's npr piece http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122319397 ) & man it seems kinda tame compared to tapes today

More than 22 years have already passed after I obtain this DX7. (Future_Perfect), Saturday, 16 January 2010 00:44 (fourteen years ago) link

srs question - what does 'tame' mean in that context?

avaSHART hahahahaha guys check it out i said shart (some dude), Saturday, 16 January 2010 02:34 (fourteen years ago) link

to be honest im not even sure what i mean. i think im just looking @ the context of now where everyone's dropping mixtapes all the time like they're albums w/ new beats and they just seem so functionally different now, where you're not saving the biggest beats for the LP any more

it's always so weird to hear him flow before he got shot, he was so much more of a lyrical quicker nyc type dude

not sure if he's less quick post-shooting, but the slurriness maybe makes it seem so. also i feel like as rappers mature they focus more on interlocking and developing rhythms rather than just trying to rip it all the time. still, good verse, great video! how many rap-hockey videos are there?

50 Cent is on The Talk @ Home and dude sounds positively domesticated.

This the dude who used to "walk around like I got an S on my chest?".

Now he looks he walks around with a Whole Foods shopping list in his hand
