now that 50 split the gym everybody wanna lift weights

[Foskamink]

big statement, but i do think 50 cent contributed a large influence on the world to lift weights and made muscles "cool" to a extent, just look at the influence he has had on other hiphop influences. sure theres been plenty of artists that were jacked LL for one. but since 50 blew with get rich or die trying every one is getting big and in good shape. and people in general are all now lifting weights. i dunno if its just the areas i have lived in but since 50 came out every one wants to be huge. not saying he had a effect on me but i beleive he did on alot. discuss cause i thought it a few times and i think its correct to a extent.

[goodcents]

Split the gym means he is not going to the gym anymore

[JohnboyF]

I dont think thats true. I think more people started hitting the gym and cleaning up their diets a tad because of the increased research in obesity/heart disease etc. ( general public) if you go back 5-7 years ago there was no real Trans fat issue or overweight kids. It the news media and such not 50 cent

[Foskamink]

yeh since he left.
meaning after he reached his biggest size and shape. and dropped get rich or die trying (cd)

[roadracer]

One person made muscles cool?

im not in america so ur prolly right. all countrys i lived in there are no real weight problems and obese people

[Foskamink]

i think he had a huge impact on other music artistis. mainly rnb/hiphop/rap and i wonder in general if he did

[Polska]

I think that theory is bunk. he might have had an influence on a few people to get in shape, but everybody?? c'mon man.

im talking teens. like 14-18 year olds sorry i shoulda mentioned age gap earlier

[lucabratzi]

everybody in the gym now tryin to lift weights, only thing im pickin up is a chrome .38...-young buck....i dont think it was 50 that made a huge craze in the gym...maby made the crime rate go up a lil..

[Motion]

I don't think he had anything to do with people going to the gym. Don't see the connection at all. Maybe a few of his boys but not the general public.

[Superhuman]

i think that hip-hopsters are definitely wanting to get "SWOLE" now because they see all these famous rappers getting jacked, including fitty cent

[Superhuman]

...they also want to ride in candypaint chevies, 22in rims, wear Air Force Ones, and pimp their hoes. These kids nowadays will do anything just because they're loser role models do it - including getting swole

[Sepsis]

hate to burst your bubble foska, but ll cool j and busta rhymes hit the gym before 50 and are both bigger than him. if it was anybody, those two probably influenced 50 to hit the gym!

Yeah I still remember that video " momma said knock you out" ll cool j still looks good.

[Sepsis]

i am talking about older ll cool j, like this:

[Superhuman]

where's the V?

[Superhuman]

6'0" 170lbs is not big

[Superhuman]

LL on the other hand... yeah he's pretty jacked

[chest6]

50 aint big...he yoyos...sumtimes hes big sumtimes he aint`

[Deluge1]

50 cent is the absolute worst thing that ever happened to hip hop. He's complete garbage. He sells records because he can sing hooks and he's marketed to look like a gangster.

And no, I do not agree that 50 influenced anything more than a small number of people to workout. He's not even big.

well i've met countless whigger white kids and thuggish black kids @ the different gyms I've been @ and the different schools I've gone to and MANY MANY of them have asked me how to "get jacked like fitty cent"

[sonar1234]

LL COOL J has a great physique and he is close to 40 i think.

Loved him in MindHunters movie

[Foskamink]

50 aint big...he yoyos...sumtimes hes big sumtimes he aint`

yeh thats sooo true. any idea how that works? in da club he was jacked as ****. massacare album cover too. alot of videos he is too without any digital enhancements. but then some tours and photos he isnt very big at all

as for 170lbs. he was 17/18 in that photo. hes like 27 in in da club.

but you're my role model...

[Foskamink]

hey air force ones are great shoes. infact i buy 2 at same time

[Anabolic CEO]

I listened to 50's In the club CD for 2years before switching it up to different stuff, Now Lil Jon and The Game are in my MP3 player, they are a must have when lifting.

[3Vandoo]

50 who

[Tren Bull]

everybody in the gym now tryin to lift weights, only thing im pickin up is a chrome .38...-young buck....i dont think it was 50 that made a huge craze in the gym...maby made the crime rate go up a lil..

haha yea, me and my friends have gone out and commited crimes while drunk and listening to 50 cent more than once



its good music to listen to while smashing mail boxes and throwing rocks the size of bowling balls through people's windows

[AnabolicAndre]

If that theory were true, then you could say people like Vin Diesel, and The Rock also influenced people too.

[Foskamink]

vin diesel and the rock are no where near as big of a influence i dare say

look at all the kids 14-21 who listen to hiphop/rap (50 cent) and lift weights. most wouldnt have before 50 i do think so. i strongly say he did make it cool again in rap to be big and good.. taking ya shirt off and wearing singlets wasnt still popular in music videos since 50 is huge they all getting big and taking the shirts off is my opinion

[italianplayboy09]

id have to say LL made it cool for rappers to take their shirts off in videos

[Foskamink]

[italianplayboy09]

[Foskamink]

[Foskamink]

possibly to take the shirt off but i do think 50 brought back being big to a fairly big extent
