I think my comment was taken a little too seriously but we'll just move on from it anyway. Onto what people are saying about 50 Cent. Does anyone know if he writes his own beats and whatever? Or does someone else produce those and then he just slurs over them? And there's no argument that 50 is good as a business man, that or he's just signed who he is away and his label is just media whoring him for more cash. The same goes for Jay-Z, Eminem and even P. Diddy. They're all entrepreneurs (spelling?).
He is usually credited as an executive producer on his albums, which I think can mean anything from him actually telling the individual producers what he wants or just having a load of people send him tracks with him then deciding which one's he'll actually use. He produces sometimes though.
Well, Rap is a different thing. Beats are usually made by other people. Usually. Now, in the case of 50 Cent, he probably uses Dr. Dre, Eminem, and a few DJs aside from himself. His lyrics are written by himself.
