50 Cent retells how sony turned him down

[stev]

Over here we tend to call him 50 pence:

Well I had 50 pence and I wanted to make a pound
When I noticed a record company, and decided to pop round
But they said hold on a minute mate, come back when you’ve been shot
And then we’ll make some money, make quite-a-fucking lot.

So I walked outside, began looking for some trouble
Shot my brother and my Mother too, sold crack to both my uncles
But still, no-one had shot me
So to my chest I pointed the shining symmetry ….




Stumbling back into Sony, thinking how they’re going to bone me
Blood rushing to the floor, “I have been shot, I’ll say no more”.
Procuring looks from the man at the desk by the door
Though the replies from down the line cannot be ignored:

We’d truly love to sign him
but it’s an expense we can’t afford,
We have just signed Another Rapper,
Who hath been shot far more.

[Tekun]

<_<

[stev]

No good?

50 cent and 50 pence are two completely different people. Sorry.

[stev]

They are two different people, but 50 pence is called that because that is what those of us in Britain who don&#39;t like shit, call 50 cent.

Obviously it&#39;s not very good then&#33; But I am wondering whether some people don&#39;t even know it is a joke?

[Rollo]

50 pence is the british spoof of 50 cent yeah?

[stev]

yeah

50 Pence is a jackass... 50 did what he had to do to survive, he&#39;s done well, even if his music sucks.

[bunk]

I think his music is the main issue here

you dont need millions to survive <_< ...now onto his music...garbage...

[Political_Chucky]

I don&#39;t like most of G-units music, but its good for parties and shit. Not all mainstream music is whack. Nas&#39;s old shit, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Jurrasic 5, Mos Def&#39;s old shit, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef, A Tribe Called Quest, and Wu tang Clan are some good ass groups. I&#39;m gettin too old for all this East on West coast feud, but if I was to listen to one artist in gangsta music, it would prolly be Game and Dre&#39;s shit.

[C_Rasmussen]

The guy that shot him sucks. I mean 9 times? Only hits him 5 times? and worse yet he doesn&#39;t die? WTF? Did he shoot at the hands and feet?

Brooklyn-Mecca knows what Im talkin about when I say "mainstream whack ass artists"

Nevertheless:
Old Nas is good (after Illmatic, it goes sour)
Roots are good
Kweli is good
Jurassic 5 is inconsistent
Mos was great on BlackStar and on Black On Both Sides, his last was a bust, but hopefully True Magic will b good
Don&#39;t like Lauryn Hill nor Wyclef
Q-Tip is nice
Wu Tang is alright, though I never listened to them that much (Killah Priest is my fav though)

Canibus and Ras Kass are some of my faves
Rakim, Chuck D, and Kool G Rap are some of my old faves
No one can touch them on the mic
Also like Common

But that&#39;s pretty much it for mainstream artists

[Pirate Utopian]

what about KRS-One? or the Beastie Boys?

[LuXe]

I strongly dislike fiddy to say the least. ;)

I could never get into KRS One, though I regard him highly for his skills
Beastie Boys on the other hand....not my cup of tea

One hit him in the throat. That&#39;s why his voice is sorrt of fucked up. ( or so I hear) As for the music....not my cup of tea.

[LuXe]

Not my cup of (unidentifiable liquid) ...

Depends on the caliber of the weapon, the distance the shooting took place from and any number of other factors. Most people actually aren&#39;t very good with a gun and killing people takes more than you&#39;d think. A bullet to the head or chest, of course, but that&#39;s difficult.

Its too bad he was such a lousy shot too, if he would have killed fitty cent, he would have spared us all from having to here his terrible music. GGGG G U R NOT&#33;

[LuXe]

They must have used a very shitty gun.

[stev]

As his story tells us, he shot himself to get some money. He purposefully didn&#39;t kill himself when he did that, for obvious reasons.

[Comrade J]

I think the fact he got shot 406 times is his main selling point, adds to his &#39;gangster authenticity,&#39; but the music is shite (in my opinion.)

[stev]

the fact he&#39;s been shot is his only selling point.

He&#39;s certainly not getting any money for being talented.
