Christ.

"Does anybody make real shit anymore?"
You'd probably have to define "real". "Real" has no meaning in describing music, it's completely relative. So I guess the question is not "What is real?" but "What is real to me?".

For me, I never grew up in a gang so gangster rap isn't so "real" to me. I did grow up with a father that went to a black Law School and protested the first Gulf War, so any socially aware stuff that talks about fixing the streets or struggling to be better, or presenting a political message somewhat different from the mainstream is real to me. Granted just because you don't consider something to be "real" doesn't mean it sucks.

To not be confused I don't consider 50 Cent real to me and I think he's terrible.

He's not current. But yeah I like a lot of what he had to say. I'd have to say I am much more a fan of his poetry. That fellow was a bit of a thinker.
I like how his lyrics is about his life, other people's lives, his lyrics on his shooters in 94, his friendship with Biggy, how he rapped about his own death and those doomy fucking rap beats.

Such a shame its all about bitches and bling bling nowadays.

convicted sex offender is the politcally correct term
I don't care what it's called politically or socially. He never touched that bitch, he had many enemies who wanted to see him go down or dead cause of his huge heart and talent.

He was quite a charismatic character.
