[Tired of Taxes]

Still trying to figure out where 50 Cent identifies with Bush...

Hmmm...

Well, apparently, Canada doesn't like him: Liberal MP calls to ban rapper over gun lyrics That's one thing they have in common.

Sorry, that's the closest I can get. I'm stumped.

Maybe he's pro-Iraq war...?

Funny, before Kanye opened his mouth to talk, I would've thought he was conservative.

On first blush, I assumed that 50 Cent's comment was intended as (at best) a "left-handed compliment", if not a downright insult. On further review, however, maybe old 50 is making a point. A "gangsta" would never invest a crazed thug who was attempting to break into his crib and murder him and his family with a full suite of special rights and privileges, and neither would President Bush. A gansta wouldn't unilaterally lay down his weapons in the hope that his action would convince his enemies to reciprocate, and neither would President Bush. If one of a gansta's peeps told him that his rival, who had already taken pot shots at him, was hoarding weapons and ammo for another go, he wouldn't wait for that rival to make his move before he launched a little "preemptive strike" of his own, and neither would President Bush.

50 cents isn't worth a nickle.

Well this is a turnout. Rappers usually only like Dead Presidents...Benjamin Franklin in particular...

[TaxesR2High]

I wonder what Fitty thinks of Sen. Kerry. Is he a gangsta...or a wanksta?

[lilylangtree]

Good reason why I don't pay or listen to political spew from question jerky stews.

[I_like_good_things_too]

See, here's one rapper/ hip-hop artist that "gets it". All the "counter-culture" pretenders out there think it's in some way radical to criticize the President. In reality (something exceedingly less & less familiar for lefties), there's little else more conformist than to be a leftie in the entertainment industry.

The true radicals/ non-conformists are the ones brave enough to be conservative.

His old pal Eminem won't be happy to hear that.

I get sick and tired of famous idiots.

[Natural Law]

How can a gangsta raper be a Democrat. Have you ever seen them? They carry guns, drive huge SUVs and hate paying taxes.

"It let people know how censored we still are. This is supposed to be America, but you can't get your opinion out."

Grammar, son. Grammar. Very important.

Now, about this, "can't get your opinion out", business. What exactly do you rap about on your CD's?



"There's all kinds of things a want to say, but I need to pace myself, to make sure my opportunities to say these things aren't taken away too abruptly."

Sounds to me as though Mr. Kanye is feelin' pretty free about speaking his mind there, and it doesn't appear to me that anyone is censoring him.


Well, 50 Cent has more cents than Kanye(Pun intended).

[Hoodlum91]

So....2 of the 3 GQ "Men of the Year" (and the 2 men) are Bush fans? IIRC, Vince Vaughn's a conservative as well.

What's up at GQ?

[Katya]

Fifty is about to find out what real censorship is...these sort of statements will NOT be tolerated by the leftist music industry.

[nicollo]

This one's so easy...

Phitty has nothing left in the bag of tricks to offend anyone anymore. Except this: declare for the President and now you've really pissed 'em off.

Great publicity move!

[toddlintown]

50 Cent. Here's a dollar. Go away.
