US consumers in 'questionable taste' shocker: 50 Cent shifts a million
- Artists:
- 50 Cent »
50 Cent's new album The Massacre might not actually be any good, but that hasn't stopped US rap fans snapping up copies like tinned food at the dawn of the year 2000.
The album, which features a cover that YOU can remake thanks to our friends at Popjustice, was granted an early release on Friday, and has now shifted well over a million copies.
No comment from Fiddy himself. No doubt he's busy flexing some pecs someplace, or getting shot, or inventing some other myth about himself that'll get dragged out of the gutter every time he does something newsworthy...

Why Mike, why? You're making an embarrassment of this site. Whether or not you do it to get a rise is irrelevant.

Flexing some pecs!
I remember seeing him on some awards show, he was singing "P.I.M.P" and told everyone to join in.
No one did.

I see they're loving it over at Pitchfork. Twats.
I fucking love that cover. There's something uniquely hilarious about it.

Dickon Edwards wrote something brilliant about this in his journal... hang on I'll go and find it---
"Walking through Euston tube corridors on my way home, I am stopped in my tracks by a poster advertising a new album by the artist 50 Cent. The image is of a half-naked young man, presumably Mr Cent himself, showing off the kind of oiled, rippling, ultra-muscular torso more at home on the sleeve of an Ian Levine Hi-NRG compilation. His cap reads "G-Unit". Indeed. Mr Cent lately annoyed the gay world with some unkind comments he'd made. I suppose here he's making up for it in kind. Such an arrestingly sexual image. I may have to buy this album for all the wrong reasons."
I laughed, anyway. I wonder what fiddy would make of that.

*Just to make it clear, it was his LiveJournal - I haven't been reading Dickon's diary or anything.

Yeah...it looks as if it should be painted on a wall by some adoring fan.
Re: US consumers in 'questionable taste' shocker:
Dickon was in Spearmint for a while. I love Spearmint.

Westwood is so street. I wish I could be an over-35 middle-class white DJ from East-Anglia with a Harlem accent.

Imagine being trapped in a lift with Tim Westwood. Hold that thought.
Or imagine being trapped in a lift with Westwood and Sara Cox. I don't know which one I'd kill first.

I dont like his music, I dont know if hes talted and I just dont get it but I dont like it. But as far as showing off his muscles so what, he worked hard for them let him show it off, it does get him the ladies

i read Westwood's review of this record in The Sun on Friday- i was in the hairdressers- and HE WRITES EXACTLY HOW HE TALKS.
i do have a certain respect for the guy though, if only because he drives around London in a van emblazoned with his own picture.

That poster is SO gay. Wish they'd all bought Dizzee records instead.

Nobody with his feet in reality can look like that. Bodybuilders look like that because they fuck with the water naturally in their body.
Fiddy looks like a cartoon.....GAY-UNIT!

Yeah...ha ha, look at the silly man with his shirt off...what a big charlie...
Now...hands up how many of you like Morrissey? Y'all have no business mocking Fiddy, although I do concede that (1) if I had to make a guess, I 'd say he was almost certainly on 'roids' and (2) yeah, it does look like an Attitude cover shot... what a prick. Some catchy tunes, though, you have to admit...

Re: US consumers in 'questionable taste' shocker: 50 C
Genius!?!?!? Give me a break! A young 'make-believe' punk like him?!?! It's pure hype!
I used to listen to a lot of NWA/Icecube, and Dr Dre's debut 'solo' The Chronic. That stuff was amazing/cutting edge. Now, this group of rappers... Snoop/Dre/Xzibit/Eminem(to a lesser extent) are churning out the same average crap over and over again. It makes me sick to my stomach when i hear crap like this! I used to have a lot of respect for Dre. And that cover BWAAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA!!! Hey, go and dodge some bullets Mr Fiddy (or is that dodge an inflatable paddling pool - Reading Fest?)!

The cover reminds me off A-Ha's video for take on me!!!!
Re: US consumers in 'questionable taste' shocker: 50 Cent shifts a million
Damn ignore that post, clicked on wrong button sorry
Re: US consumers in 'questionable taste' shocker:
Yeah... but credit where credits due, In Da Club was quite good
Re: US consumers in 'questionable taste' shocker:
No. No. It was horrible, moronic shit. He can't rap, he can't write lyrics, and the beats are revolting. I have no time for 50 Cent, or these US musos who have now submerged themselves under so many levels of irony that they actually think he's good.
50 Cent. Apparently his name is "a metaphor for change". The best unintentional joke ever conceived. Is there such a thing as anti-genius?
