@mlssrsevenseven8160 7 жыл бұрын

Hjembrent Kent, it wasn't conjecture. I believe that many like 50 and LeBron James represent hidden gems in AA society whether in the hood or in many societies. Maybe that is why many AA commit suicide because they refuse to find their talents many times that aren't hidden. Its refusal to promote it is due to peer pressure.

every time i listen to 50 its inspiring on so many levels. His train of thought for me is almost natural for me to grasp. I would love to sit down with him and pick his brain he is always dropping jewels. i never commented on a KZfaq video but i felt i had to express my appreciation and respect.

I love 50. I knew he was a genius in the 1st interview he did with Sway when At he Club was out. I remembered how humble he was when he spoke of Em and Dre yet I could see he was a boss. One of the 48 Laws is to never outshine the Master and he adheres to this. It shows me that he lives what he believes in.

50 cent is a classic case of the phrase "looks are deceiving". When I first saw him performing he struck me as a typical run-of-the-mill gansta rapper with no redeeming value. But when I started listening to him speak in interviews I realized he was a lot more intelligent then I had presummed. I am now a big fan. He is a class act.
