Hip Hop is considered one of the most influential forms of music that actually inspired many styles of music including the various forms of rock & roll. Maybe that is why both genres have been rejected many times in the past, and are still subjected to much discrimination today. Explicit lyrics that portray the truth about the sex and drug world of America put these two musical forms in the same category. However, if you comapre many Rrock & Roll artist with Hip Hop artist of the past or present day, you will find that they have a lot more in common. Provocative moves, unruly behavior and sometimes the need to reinvent themselves; they start out as "bad guys", cross some boundaries to make more socially acceptabale music, then reappear more dangerous than before. Fifty Cent who is now an international star, was not always so commercial. He received recognition from "50 is the Future" his underground independent mixtape flaunting his notorious street reputation. When he was discovered by rapper Eminem, he signed a major deal and released records that we love to party to including,"In the Club" and "Candy Shop". And now the antcipated hit "Crime wave", Fifty told MTV ""I meant for it to be a little harder and what I fell in love with about hip-hop and within hip-hop," Well how much harder can it get? As the youth continue to be enfatuated with anything that is the opposite of "good" artist like Fifty will continue to prey on a negative driven society.
the problem with 50 is when he came out he was genuinely from the streets and im all for hip hop but at this point the whole thug thing is worn out to me.. fifty is very talented and to me is one of the best rappers in the game but his content is getting repetitive he needs to find a new gimmick to propel his career forward or i think it could be close to an end.
