50 Cent is a complete idiot. Anybody who can spew out obscenities and suggestive themes at an accelerated rate today can get a record deal. The old hip-hop used to have a message (so that there was at least some content, even though I don't listen to it anyway), but nowadays the genre is completely empty. Well, not completely empty: there's sex appeal. Tons of it. Sex appeal FTW.
Speaking of music, all of it blows hard nowadays (I mean mainstream). Most of the songs don't even have to rhyme, make sense, or even have a melodical value anymore of something more than 3 notes repeated over and over again against a beat in the background. Those few songs that don't apply the above description are either crappy remixes of previously good songs, or do rhyme, but they rhyme uncomplicated words. Feel rhymes with real? Yeah, thanks dipsh*ts, I'm pretty sure "you make me feel so real" makes a sh*tload of sense.
Anyhow, now that I'm off my music rant mode, now on to the actual premise of the game. You're 50 Cent, or at least what marketing has purported him to be (tough gangsta with loads of shtreef smarts). You team up with G Unit and take down (quoting IGN) "the most dangerous crime families in the city". Sounds a lot like GTA, doesn't it? But wait, there's more. You get (quoting IGN again) "...album tracks and new songs from 50 Cent recorded exclusively for the game, as well as more than a dozen 50 Cent and G Unit videos along with new original hot beats and scoring from Sha Money XL." Wow!!! I'm so excited about being part of a marketing-driven, bullsh*t, no-plot game, with more of 50 Cent's blamty music I feel obligated to take a giant dump in my pants.
The reason I made the GTA reference above was because 50 Cent was asked to voice C.J. in San Andreas, but he turned it down because he said if he's ever going to voice a character in a game, it would be himself. Am I the only person who finds that utterly arrogant? Or is that type of bullsh*t hailed nowadays as being tough? Good job, you turned down a Rockstar rep who wanted to make a deal. Real tough, G, real though.
Not like he was the only celebrity asked to voice a character, Samuel L. Jackson is a much better person/actor than that retard and he didn't hesitate to voice Tenpenny. Back to the point:
Please, do the world a favor and don't buy any of this 50 Cent crap (or if you don't have GTA: SA already, get it before Rockstar patches all copies with 1.01).

Truth.
I liked rap when it was about drama and issues. Tupac, Kanye, Nas, BIG, Dr. Dre and some more.
