50 Cent and Kanye West are the only ones selected to be GQ's "Men of the Year" who have no false modesty about it — both of the hip-hop stars justify their big egos in the mag's pages. But they also have more on their minds

than just themselves. Like George W. Bush, for one. 50 thinks the president is "incredible ... a gangsta." "I wanna meet George Bush, just shake his hand and tell him how much of me I see in him," 50 told GQ. If the rapper's felony conviction didn't prevent him from voting, 50 said he would have voted for Bush. Meanwhile, Kanye basically called Bush a racist on national television, and has since rethought his strategy for speaking out. "When NBC edited it out on the West Coast, that was a wakeup call," West told the magazine. "It let people know how censored we still are. This is supposed to be America, but you can't get your opinion out. There's all kinds of things I want to say, but I need to pace myself, to make sure my opportunities to say these things aren't taken away too abruptly." Kanye says after giving us entertainment, his next goal is to give us "inspiration." 50's next goal? He wants to market a condom. ...

I wish condoms would have been properly marketed to his parents for their brief business encounter.
Lol, careful now, that post is likely to get yanked.
Skeerd? You don't say?
IMO, rap is a lame excuse for "entertainment".
Goats crapping on junked car hoods has a similar tune.
At least he has goals.
Why? What has he done to you?
Now, if we can just get Marilyn Manson's endorsement...
Looks like it was 26 seconds and the winner is SDGOP
Thats pretty close.
"Now, if we can just get Marilyn Manson's endorsement.."
Uhhh, I think we already have. Doesn't he vote Republican? I think that's what he said.
Exactly - In your opinion. That is the whole point - entertainment tastes vary. I doubt that many who actually criticize 50 cent have actually heard any of his music.
In any event, musical tastes just like everything else changes with the times. It's just an example of old fogey syndrome.
Did his momma drop him on his head? Anyways he's a gay poster child next to Fitty.
Thanks. A priceless farkle.
Crap is crap even if you package it as entertainment.
Where on Earth did you find that....that photoshopped pic is awesome.
Bush a gangsta and Condi got junk in her trunk. That's all a rapper needs (or can comprehend).
Many adults in the 1950s thought that Elvis was "crap". Many adults in the 1960s thought that the Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones were crap.
Things change. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that it's "crap".
Tim McGraw got it right in his song "Things Change". give it a listen.
Just the usual garbage we have to put up from the blue state people.
W's much bigger than fiddy cent. They should call him fiddy dolla.
Something tells me fitty'll be eatin cue in Crawford faster than a duck on a bug. This is excellent.
Telling people to go shoot cops is crap. Advocating a gangsta lifestyle is crap. Jive talk is crap -- can you imagine actually hiring someone who talks like that? Pop a cap for me, I don't listen to crap.
