50 Cent

[The Dream]

I actually give some props to 50 (not for his music) but for his business sense...a lot of rappers don't know what "investment" means and now he's living good off of 400 million dollars from vitamin water..........congrats to him.

The REAL 50 Cent is a G. Kelvin Martin was a crazy mofo from what I've read and heard.

 

[The Dream]

although I'm not a fan of his music (and he has made some wack songs...Candy Shop, Amusement Park, etc.) I've never considered him to be the "wack of all wackness".

On June 1 Saigon posted on his myspace blog that Atlantic Records doesn't seem to have the desire to release his album because he is a real artist and not a "jingle writer" and they only care about the money not the music. The album will be released independently if Atlantic will not release it

umm i don't know too much about saigon, i heard pain in my life i thought it was a real good song, and he said "its going to be the best cd in 20 years" ( im sure a lot of people think that about their cds) but the fact that a record company doesn't want to release his cd because its not a "jingle writer" shows that companies don't even want to produce "real rappers" and would rather put out 50 cent, jibbs, mims cds because they sell. even esablshed rappers who are considered the best of all time like nas can't even sell a million records while 50 sold more than 3 for his last too i believe. so its all about making money and from what i see Diddy, Jay-z, and 50 know all about making money

LOL, $400m for a vitamin water company with that kind of a turnover is pretty darn cheap.

Ed! is right, the company sold for around $4bn not $400m lol.
