Greg Tate on 50 Cent
I think Greg actually likes this album more than most heads, who find the hooks lacking compared to GRODT from what I see and hear. Beyond that I won't editorialize right now:
Married to the Hook
In The Paranoid Style in Hiphop's SuperSlave Economy: A Study in Beef (Routledge, 2009), Siadya Rose-Hampton Sharise writes, "So this is where we at Black people? Shooting each other down in the streets like mad dogs? Over battle rhymes? Are you flucking kidding me?" Earlier Rose-Hampton Sharise writes, "Hiphop been dead as a folk culture but that's OK. Because while that death by hypercapitalism signifies a loss of masscultural access to the best poetic and political imaginations of the current twentysomething generation, that death also points us to exactly where we want to go: right on top of 50 Cent's ass. I swear Boo, in some of those videos 50 looks like a homo-thug and that's OK too."
Now I'd go a step further and say 50 more resembles a homo-thug dyke. Because generally speaking the girls flip the homo-thug look in public with more flair than their male counterparts. The wifebeater, the Tyrolean hat, the brown Popeye biceps, and the white silk pants? Yall all know yall more likely to see that girl strolling around Bed-Stuy dragging her supermodel than that guy so don't you even try and test me. Now this might all seem rather provocative until you check out The Massacre and 50 has homoerotic musings of his own, as in, "I read somewhere I'm homophobic/S**t, go to the hood/There's mad n*gg*s on my d**k." The Massacre is unlikely to decrease 50's bounty of swarming Y chromosome carriers. It is hands-down the most diabolically sensous collection of baby-making gangsta music since Pac's All Eyez. Like Pac, 50 is a ruffian who knows the value of a good pop hook; he embraces the hook, caresses the hook, is married to the hook. He also respects the ancient pop rule that if you get the women the men will come. Every lyric on The Massacre that's not about violating a nigga is about sexing pimping or mindf**king a babe—or, in the most notable instance, about 50's pique at being sexed pimped and mindf**ked by Viveca.
Be all that as it may, if you need real MC'ing the way 50 needs real love then you got to love 50 no matter what dumb sheet he's going on about now. Mostly for the dry wit of his richly melodious country con-man flow alone. On The Massacre 50 remains the definition of laconic, sardonic, harmonic, and moronic...

I agree with the story they wrote on fifty. That is some funny stuff. Also, I agree that hip hop died a long time ago. That does not mean that hip hop cant come back. I see a lot of new artist with new dreams.

Its funny because a long time ago, hip hop was viewed as a threat. It was in the minority. Then corporate america grabbed it recycled it and destroyed it. Imagine if 50 died. Imagined how much money would have been made off of him and his next set "unreleased albums and who did it movies." Whats even sadder is the fact that he would have been looked at as a holy figure. They have a real good job of doing that. Its like when Tupac died and they found pictures of him praying. Because we all know that a man that doesn't mind killing people and glorifying thug life for all the kids, is a good person.
Its funny, I have been on the grind musically for a long time. I don't want to get famous or anything. However, I have a seen a lot of talent with something to say. Much more than 50cent. However, I have a feeling that a majority of these acts will not make it. There style is not "marketable."
Yeah, hip hop has been dead for a long ass time. What we need is new businesses to take hold. Dr. Dre charges 100,000 dollars per beat. A lot of people give him credit for his beat making talent. Honestly, his beats are usually what makes most of his artists. Look at 50cent. Everytime he opens his mouth, shit comes out.
People think that Dr. Dre is the only man that can make beats and "create" good artists. I say, f*ck that! What needs to happen, is a whole new restructing of the hip hop culture. Tell artists to pull their pants up and start reading a book.
We need new beat makers and artists with something to say. Hip Hop was created to bring all people together and that has been long forgotten. As new teens and kids are only shown the sh*t hip hop of today, true popular hip hop medium may not come for a long time.
I hate to say it, but true hip hop is once again a minority. Once again, the fight to be understood is about to start.
What happened to respect ya self?

greg tate's commentaries and criticism of hiphop and rap are informed by thirty years of loving and respectful watching, listening, researching, analyzing , writing and otherwise participating in the culture.
along with novelist trey ellis, tate was profiled by NEWSDAY back in the early 80's and deemed the writer who put the intellectual underpinning to hiphop.

when ppl say 50 is tha best what they really mean is that he sells the most. If true hip-hop isn't dead yet, 50 will do everything in his power to completely destroy it so commercial gangsta rap is the only left to buy (not that all commercial rap is bad, but 95% of it is.) Ppl like Kanye (if he starts writin better raps) Common Talib Mos Def Nas etc. can save hip-hop. I do think 50 might be gay. I heard Game turned down a blowjob from 50 and thats how he got kicked out of g-unot. But "The Britney Spears of Rap" has made another multiplatinum album without a milligram of distinguishable talent. God help us.
