It depends on where one grows up. In many cases it is GOOD parenting to have a gun when carrying around a child, lest you want to get shot yourself. Don't be so blind, the world isn't as peachy sweet for everyone as it is for you.
What I meant was, that people was associating 50 Cent as being REAL hiphop, I never ever said 50 Cent is REAL hiphop.nihilisticmonk said:stop.....right.....there........
I think it's you who neds a reality check if you're classing 50 cent as a true pioneer of hip hop...
He doesn't sing hip hop, he sings gangsta rap...
Hip hop is a tribe called quest, run dmc, and some very funny very interesting
artists.....
leave that 50 cent, Usher, P-Diddy, B.I.G. crap at the door please.....
It's like compairing Brittany Spears to Aimee Mann in terms of talent....

Finally, a computer for African Americans. Can we also have a jewBook endorsed by Woody Allen? Or how about the original 'white' iBook endorsed by Steve Martin?"
As if African Americans dont already own Apple computers or cant afford them..
and we wont even get into the talk of calling people ghetto...
oh i just love how innercity resident is equal to black, and sometimes hispanics
pedrov said:according to your dad igary is no role model as a parent either, he being a sodomite and all.
your dads book says so.
What is wrong with being gay?
iGary is saying it is wrong to be a drug dealer, homophobe, and an advocate of gun violence et al.

Many studios are running apple computers, but does he specifically own one?
I'm most curious if he is using logic pro.
it really is a great program for producing hiphop and house music.
In his own words...here is how much he really cares about inner city kids...
For someone who has survived 9 bullet wounds, 50 cent is remarkably unrepentant. "Im not with the Save The Childrens Fund. I dont give a **** about another ***** kids, just my kid, he said in an interview quoted on RapArtistDirect.com
I know, I know, I am racists for even repeating fiddy pennies own foul ideology. I should look the other way and buy eveerything he puts out. Cause he is black.

You're right, to my horror I'm the only member of my current clique who wouldn't think twice about buying a crappy imported wardrobe from ikea.
oh and Black Eminem... Robinsons in the UK had a similar sales pitch to the iPod dancers in the 60's and 70's but that had to stop. (reality and relevance)
People should look around at the disrespect of people in general before choosing a particular race for their condescending piffle to be spouted on behalf of.
This is a record company playing a win win publicity stunt off the back of the Apple iPod brand. There is nothing to loose. association - or my gang of people is better than your gang of people.
It doesn't matter who as long as there is a point of leverage.
Mr.Hey said:
Thats racist in a sense to think we are all thinking we need white rock bands for a mac...
What has been said time and time again is that 50 cent does not feel like the person who apple should be working on a branding deal with.

**** It...I was born and raised in the bronx, the south bronx. I went to PACE University and graduated with a Business Degree. I'm currently working for the Government as a Program Analyst.
Ok folks, nothing to see here, move along. Apple is never going to release 50-cent branded/endorsed anything. Or if they were, they're not going to any longer.
Why? Because 50 and his big mouthed manager just failed test no. 1.
If you work with Apple, you've gotta be able to keep your mouth shut.

you dont have to validate your experience to these closet racistStevez0r said:
who stereotype ppl
i dont want to see 50cent apple products as much as the next person
50 is a disgrace,and his music is not something apple should endorese by signing a brand ing contract
but some how "inncercity" which is media speak for poor black people
have become victims in this debate
by closet racists on mac rumors
and ive yet to see any moderation
as well as i posted 50cent lyrics in another post
and the n word wasnt even caught my the forum filter
Ok. I'm African-American. And I don't agree with apple and 50 cent together at all. And everything I've read that you all are considering racist i've taken as sarcasm. I mean as stated prior to my post he is a violent man who is also a former drug dealer and a womanizer. That just doesn't work well with Apple. But i'm still all for lower costing macs for the less fortunate. I'm just lucky enough to have a doctor and a lawyer for parents. And happen to have a decent paying job working part time for a university.

Run Come Save Me is a fantastic album to start with, and it's in the itunes music store!
