re Why do people assume that because he is a gangsta rap artist, 50 cent is stupid? Yes, he had a rougher upbringing than Kanye; he even sold drugs at one point. His life was on a downward spiral before he was discovered. But I admire that fact that he over came all of that, and is building his own empire. He is one of the world's highest selling rappers. He founded G-Unit records and appeared in two films, and has a few more films in the works (one with Robert DeNiro!). He is an entrepreneur of sorts. He has a clothing line and five year deal with Reebok. He invested in Glaceau water which payed off handsomely when Coca-Cola purchased them for around $4.1 billion. He's got many other things going on and he is one of the few rappers who realizes that the big money is NOT in rapping. Don't be fooled by appearances, ladies. 50 cent has got it GOING ON! I like Kanye's music more than 50's, but, am I the only one who thinks Kanye's kind of an ass?
