To be honest, I'm pretty sure that it wasn't "FITTY" who coined that term. I've heard that phrase long before "FITTY" spit it out.

The songs that i've heard of his (i'm not exactly rushing out to buy his CD) are just good fun party music. There's nothing "brilliant"... perhaps the only "brilliant" is the marketing people at his record company that have shoved his music down everyone's throats.

I think that's the main reason why people are "hatin" on him.... I hate on a lot of songs that i'm forced to hear 4000 times a day... on several different radio stations

I also don't think it was Koreans who started it, as stated by PhiMuJulia.

It's a mark of poor grammar (which in Pittsburgh, we have tons of! I get so sick of hearing "warsh" instead of "wash", etc.) and regional dialetics.

Hahahaha

Julia, it's $10 per milligram-10 milligram tablets.

I am so joking.

That is totally illegal. :eek:

True.

I used to know this guy who always mooched off of everyone, he'll be like "Ehhh YO T! Can you loan me FITTY CENT? I will pay you back, I promise!" I'm like, it is just fifty cents, you can keep it.

Thank you.

Come on guys, anyone who thinks that the fat kid/cake line is "brilliant"? You shouldn't expect much from them.

Let's not even go into the spelling and grammatical errors. :rolleyes: Yeah, I like dancing to 50 Cent in the club, but I don't think I'd buy his CD, and I wouldn't consider most rappers "brilliant," as a lot of the contemporary lyrical styles are just rips of rappers that these young'uns don't know about...:p

Example of the 50 cent "brilliance"

Read this interview, and please tell me how any rational person could think this guy to be "brilliant"

Brilliant compared to what? A rock?

This thread is fuuuuunny. I would quote that line about it being better to be thought stupid than to open your mouth and confirm it but I think it's unnecessary.

50 Cent is aight. He is not the second freakin coming but he has good beats.

I like his independent stuff though- The Realest f/ Biggie? That song was hot from day one and is STILL a banger, no matter how many times I hear it.

Th Art of Getting Robbed? Hysterical. that song was so clever and unlike anything else that was out when I heard it.

That's the best post I've seen on here yet.

Hmmm, I'm Korean and I say "Fifty" like its SUPPOSED to sound. Not all Koreans forget to pronounce the F. If you didnt know....the Korean language does not have the letter "f" or any equivilent to it.

I suggest you try to speak the Korean language and see if YOU can pronounce everything right. I will be happy to teach you :)

I have quite a few Korean friends and have YET to hear them say "fitty" for fifty.

My sentiments exactly! You are not representing your GLO properly by making the stereotypes :rolleyes:

And yes I think Fifty Cent is majorally overplayed!

I agree with PM_Mama00. I would hate for ya'll to think that Phi Mu thinks this way, and I assure we don't. Phi Mu accepts women of all nationalities and ethnicities and doesn't condone comments like Julia's.
