Please don't imply that I'm an idiot just because I asked you to explain your statement, how do you know what I do or don't know about the subject?Quote:

No bro, I wasn't calling you an idiot at all. Sorry if it sounded that way. I was referring to people about steroids who know nothing, but refuse to listen to good advice. And not saying people from this forum, people I know personally.Quote:

Another thing I can't stand is how he constantly brags about being shot "9 times." Anybody can get shot, it doesn't take a G to get shot a few times. And the reason he got shot was more than likely because he was a little punk and snitched on or lied to someone, hence the DVD. If he wasn't shot, he would not be where he is today.
Everytime I see him on TV or hear him on the radio all I can do is laugh. I'm definitely gonna be purchasing this DVD for more laughs. Thanks stocky.
If he got his teeth fixed he might be better off as a male model IMO.
Why is it that all too often when someone makes it big in the hip hop industry people start labelling them fakes and sellouts?Quote:

Have you seen CB4? - Excellent send up of the whole gangsta rap phenomenon.
Personally I listen to particular artists because I like their music, I'm more concerned with the beats & lyrics than whether or not they're really gangsters.
Apparantly the Beatles never even sat in a Yellow Submarine let alone lived in one, Michael Jackson cannot turn into a werewolf (although he is fairly bad) and Kid Rock has no real intention to ever herd cattle so they're all fakes too!
You make good points, but that's NOT what I look for in music. I'm mainly partial to the beats also, but 50 doesn't put out good beats. And I'm not saying rap is about who's G our not, but he acts way too much like he is one. He's an actor. Music they play on the radio is lame. If you want good rap, you won't find it on the radio. The underground scene puts out much better shit and it is real. The beats and lyrics are also much better.Quote:

Sure the underground scene can be fresher / faster moving but to say that the beats and lyrics are better on the underground scene doesn't make a great deal of sense as any artist or producer who proves themselves on the underground scene will be able elevate themselves and get recording contracts and hit the bigtime which gives them more money which is not only what we all aspire to but also leads to higher production quality and better music.
