'The Hated On Man'


So I've brought you the forgotten man, the underrated man and now I bring you the hated on man. The man I'm talking about is Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, I think personally he is one of the most hated on artist's in the game and for no reason. I don't think he is the greatest rapper alive but I do think he is one of the best in terms of albums, sales and lyrical content. Now people might be reading this thinking what??? But when hip hop is mentioned if you go any where in the world how many times would you hear the name 50 Cent? I guarantee that it would be a lot.

If we want to talk about sales he's sold 12 million copies of his first album 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. On top of that his next album after that he sold 1.14 million in the first four days which is simply unbelievable. I'm not quite sure why people began to hate on 50, maybe some of is songs weren't what he produced on 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' but there's one thing 50 always delivers that is good quality albums and music.

In addition to this 50 has tried to put people in a position to run and become what he did when Eminem and Dr Dre gave him the chance if they don't take it that's their problem. Young Buck, Lloyd Banks, Mobb Deep, M.O.P, Olivia, The Game all had help from 50 to be pushed to greatness but only The Game out of all of them is left standing, he is the only one that used his potential to extend his time in the Hip Hop game. The rest simply didn't deliver when it mattered.

A lot of people think because of his past before he was signed to Interscope he was involved in drugs which lead to him getting shot, but people think because of this he is stupid. When it is quite the opposite, he has his own clothing line, his own record label, he has a deal with vitamin water that came off with him walking out 100 million dollars richer. He is an intelligent business man as well as a talented Hip Hop Artist.

On 'Patiently Waiting' he drops the lyrics...

I'm innocent in my head
Like a baby born dead
Destination heaven
Sitting political passengers from 9-11 (yea)
The Lord's blessing left me lyrically incline (uh huh)
Shit, I ain't even got to try to shine
God's a seamstress who tailor-fitted my pain
I got scriptures in my brain
I can spit at your thang
Straight out the good book
Look, niggas is shook
50 fear no man-warrior
Swing swords like Conan


50 is unfairly hated on for no real reason I feel, He is a talented artist that always always delivers when it matters. To be honest I don't think he really cares and why should he.... he's doing exactly what he wants to do the way he wants to do it and nobody can stop him.

In addition to this people that have tried to battle him and take him down have failed badly and have nearly had their careers ended. Fat Joe and Ja Rule to name two, Rick Ross had one of the best albums of 2009 but no one can take him seriously after 'Officer Ricky'. The only person he tried to get was Nas who couldn't and wouldn't be taken down.

50 Cent has that warrior mentality from when he was growing up and dealing in drugs it forces you to be ruthless and an animal to fight for what you want, which is why when people come at him he attacks and doesn't let up till they are gone for good.

His 4th album drops September 29 and I can't wait Obviously you would have heard a few tracks of it like 'Get Up' which makes me feel if the rest of the album is gonna be like this then we're on to something special.

50 is the Hated Man but like he says he's laughing straight to the bank with this....
