Gangsta Disciple Im with you on T-Pain. I cannot understand, for the life of me, how and why he is in the music business in the first place, let alone has several hits the worst part is, he now has his own record label and he signed the equally untalented Flo-Rida, and he also is signing a girl group, who is rumoured to use that silly computer thing as well
I laughed when his first album came out and it was called "Rappa ternt Singa", then I heard the stripper song and became annoyed, then came the Buy u a drank, a song that even a 10 year old could write, and then everyone wants him on their songs.
I just do not get what people see in this guy that makes him popular. The same I can say with Sean Kingston as well( although he isnt a rapper)

Who the hell watches that crap? I've flipped past the channels a few times and that crappy show was on every single time. I think the mainstream is sinking lower and lower as time progresses.
I wouldn't say that he's responsible single-handedly for destroying hip hop (nor do I think it's been destroyed), but if I had to pick one rapper who represents more than any other the negatives of hip hop, it would be 50 Cent.
50 Cent to me is the Britney Spears of rap. That is to say that, like Britney Spears, there is absolutely nothing remarkable about him in terms of talent, charisma, looks or voice. Some rappers are known for their witty wordplay (Ludacris, Eminem), their unique flow (Snoop Dogg, Nelly), their sociopolitical commentary (Nas, Mos Def), or their innovative music (Kanye West, Outkast, The Roots); and to me, 50 Cent has none of those things. His rap skills are unremarkable, the beats to his songs are virtually all the same and the subject doesn't change from the rap stereotypes of pimps, drugs, women, flashing wealth and violence. Quite a few of the artists I mentioned earlier do the same, but they at least have some sort of saving grace usually in that they have something that makes them unique whereas I feel like you could take almost any kid out of a housing project in Jamaica, Queens and with the right producers, handlers and trainers turn him into a "50 Cent" (which is the same way I feel about Britney Spears).
There are plenty of other artists in hip hop who I have similar criticisms of. Hip hop is rife with one hit wonders who record a song about ass-shaking, have it shoot to the top of the charts, release a platinum album full of generic rap and then fall off the face of the Earth. T-Pain, Juvenile, Lil Jon, Ja Rule, Soulja Boy, MIMS, Mystikal. I could go on and on. The reason why I pick on 50 Cent more than these guys is the sole reason that he has sold more records than any of them and continues to have a stellar career. More than any other rapper, he has made a career out of generic mediocrity and that's why I think he's the poster boy for what is wrong with the state of hip hop music today. No other rapper to me has been able to stretch their lack of talent as far as he has.
Got that right, this is the same person that's responsible for destroying NY Rap and not to mention deliberately recorded conversations of his own artist (Young Buck) and ****ed over many.
this guy has made a career out of ruining people's lives and He's gonna get his and I'll be glad once he finally get his.
and he to me is the worst rapper in all of U.S. hip-hop history, him and his crew (G-Unit), they have brought more damage to hip-hop than any other rapper combined.
Oh man, I'm posting in a thread with a gangsta disciple D: scary.
Anyway, I dunno who killed rap, I'd say 50 cent, but Solja boy put the nail in the coffin.
I’d say 12 year old girls killed rap music. When I was younger, not many of my friends were into rap music. We'd listen to Da Brat or Naughty by Nature but once Rap City went off that was pretty much it. Most of the rappers weren’t that cute – we were all into R&B groups back then. But as the Nelly’s and 50’s popped on scene with their tatted chests and six packs – the genre shifted and now popular music is determined by what little girls like to look at. I spent the holiday with the my cousins and they like this song called “Do The Stanky Leg” are you kidding me?
Reminds me of last year or so, my roommate loved this song "Chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup, WITH A SODA ON THE SIDE!"
Lamest thing I've ever heard, other than Soulja boy.
