Almost everyone who is not 12 years old should know that 50 cent sucks but I am going to give my opinion anyway. he reason why 50 cent is so popular is because he is a mainsteam artist. I can't even call him a rapper because to me he is not a rapper. The reason why he is so popular is because he broke to the mainstream and people like his beats. I don't like him because 1 He got rid of The Game because he knew The Game was a better rapper, 2 He does the same thing in all of his singles which is saying the same thing for most of the song. Atleast he knows he can't rhyme. But the one thing I hate more than 50 cent is all of his fans because most of them don't know anything about real rappers! For example there is this kid that I live near, everyday I hear him sing various 50 cent songs. He says that he knows everything about rap. I ask him to name any other rappers and he could name only one Tony Yao. I asked him to name any other  members in G-unit and he couldn't name 1. Thats an example of most of 50's fans are like. I can name 10 rappers off the top of my head that are better rappers than 50 but they are payed less and if anyone disagrees they are just like that kid that I described before.
