the market determines the value of everything. talk all you want, but this man has made more money than 99.99 percent of Americans. That likely includes everyone who will comment on this, including myself. The market (IE PEOPLE) have determined this value. I may not like his music, I may deem it as stupid and low-brow (oh, and by the way, opinions are never facts) but his record sales create his value, and it’s a hell of a lot more than 50 cents.
your point also proves that if marketed right, you can make anyone buy garbage…shall we go over everyone’s careers whose sold millions and have now faded to obscurity thus making them worth about oh lets say 50 cents? crap now, crap later, hes overvalued and i want my change…the market is NOT us, we are CONSUMERS…THE MARKET sells to us, we buy for many reasons mostly because of peer pressure “HEY THIS IS THE HOTTEST THING!! YOU DONT WANT TO LOOK OUT OF PLACE WITHOUT IT DO YOU?”…ok im done ranting
Not quite – the market determines the current price of everything. In the cases of artistic endeavours, posterity determines value. If people are still listening to 50c in 30 years or so, then he’ll actually have worth, rather than just populist appeal.
you plainly failed to understand the LOL. about your comment, the market is made up companies, organizations, organizations of the sort, (IE TARGET), not people. the market simply sells to people, otherwise known as consumers
Accept cultural differences no matter what you say? Alright. Well why don’t I make a culture in which I can kill anyone I like? You’d better not judge me for it, or that would be discrimination…
Cultural difference? Pffft. I’ve been a musician for fifty years, and that twat couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. I couldn’t give a rat’s ass what colour he is, he’s just a no-talent tosser.
I would have to say somewhere mid-May of 1990. That’s around the time when Vanilla Ice’s To the Extreme become one of the best selling rap albums of all time.
anyone see him in Righteous Kill? I envied DeNiro in the scene where Jackson gets arrested. I bet DeNiro read the script and thought with a HUGE smile…”I get to kick him in the teeth while he’s handcuffed to a radiator?!? I love my job”
Underfunny.
LOL
Au contraire. He’s under-talented.
Indeed!
Bah-hah!
I will drink to that!!!!
I love it!
Finally, the LOL maker has awakened after a long slumber.
50 cent SUXXX, hip hop SUXXX & Jonas bro SUXXX
Although you’re right ab out all these things, I fail to see the connection between the first two and the latter component of your statement.
about*
Amen!
If i pay one cent for him i’ll get change
Ahh, just when I think that the roflrazzi has lost its charm, it doles out a win! I’ll drink to that as well!
*toasts to the inherent cheapness of Fiddy Cent*
A truer word has never been spoken.

:: ahem :: 50 CENT
…and I agree with you but we want to see him gone. Can you make it happen?
Apparently the humor part of the LOL went right over asdf’s head. *makes swooshing noise*

Never? Really?…. Have you ever heard of a fallacy?
Not quite – the market determines the current price of everything. In the cases of artistic endeavours, posterity determines value. If people are still listening to 50c in 30 years or so, then he’ll actually have worth, rather than just populist appeal.
Oh and yes, there are modern acts I listen to.

Yay for close minded people that judge others because of a cultural difference!
Accept cultural differences no matter what you say? Alright. Well why don’t I make a culture in which I can kill anyone I like? You’d better not judge me for it, or that would be discrimination…
Kill anyone you DON’T like, or you’ll be left with all the bastards…

Yeah, I know, a guy not liking one musician from one genre, clearly just a bigot. Or 50 Cent might just suck. Yeah, I think 50 Cent just sucks.

WIN!
one. word. says. it. all.
Not. In. Your. Case.
OH SNAP SON

Amen to that!
This is what the computer world calls ‘pwnage’.
It would be overpriced even if it was free.
So True
Can anyone pinpoint the date when most hip-hop went from being rebellious and turned into being uber-capitalist?
I would have to say somewhere mid-May of 1990. That’s around the time when Vanilla Ice’s To the Extreme become one of the best selling rap albums of all time.
Yes.
KA-CHING!
OMG! That is so RIGHT ON!! ROFLMAO!
Haha! That’s the best one ive seen in a while. ZZING!
anyone see him in Righteous Kill? I envied DeNiro in the scene where Jackson gets arrested. I bet DeNiro read the script and thought with a HUGE smile…”I get to kick him in the teeth while he’s handcuffed to a radiator?!? I love my job”
awesome
Fifty cents? More like fifty reasons to not listen to the garbage….
So true.
see, there is truth in advertising, sometimes
I never comment on Stumble Photos… But this made me lulz so much. I cannot begin to describe.
Over priced, no talented maggot.
EPIC Win for Lol Celebs on this one.
I agree if this punk was free it would still be over priced.
