How Low Can Hiphop Go?

posted by on April 25 at 14:37 PM

Go to Line Out and see the lowest of the lows.
50cent.jpg Yes, that’s a video game image of the gangsta rapper 50 Cent. Yes, he is in a place that looks a lot like Baghdad. Yes, he is shooting Arabs. Yes, it has to do with not getting paid for a concert. What more can I say?

reminds me of the absurdly racist knock-off GTA from the movie Inside Man

Are you blaming everyone associated with hip-hop, Charles?

It's not real. It's a video game. Do you really think 50 Cent would set foot in Baghdad in the first place? Writers suck.

If I were to ever use the N word, it would be for 50 Cent.

@9, don't do that. It's empowering.

Oh, I know. But anything negative just blows on through his head.

"I don't like people who don't like me." - 50 Cent, actual quote

Maybe 50 Cent should go an enlist in the Marines? I hear they are short of troops right now.

Didn't 50 Cent say that "Bush was a gangsta", or something? I try not to follow up on poverty news.

*er, "poverty". Whoops.

So how soon is 50 Cent Used CD gonna cover Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier"? Y'know, the song about "freed" black slaves who were employed by the US Guv'mint to assist in Indian Removal back in the Andrew Jackson day?

And is hip-hop still the Underground Railroad, or is it now the new plantation?

That's his comrades flying down. He's riddling a nearby family on the 2nd floor with bullets for kicks.

@18 thats like asking "Who's fatter, Mayor McCheese or Grimace?" Its a trick question because both of them will give you heart disease and type 2 diabetes

I personally see that as some "gangsta-ass shit".
But that's just me.
