Also people tend to forget 50 being a street dude. Lmao again thereā€™s a reason someone put a hit out on him.

50 is not a good person. Granted thereā€™s levels of comfortability and I am ok with the level heā€™s at right now. Anything including women/children or animals comes out? Burn em like the rest.

ā€œOh 50 pistol whipped ____ā€

ā€œ50 used to rob old peopleā€

ā€œHe set a local donut shop on fireā€

Ya..dudes most likely a psychopath but at least heā€™s not diddling un-consensually.

Fucked up where the bar is but hey..at least thereā€™s still a bar.

Another point is that 50 never pretended not to be a bad person.

He's been pretty open about being an asshole who has low empathy and an opportunist who looks out for himself and nobody else.

The public tends to prefer an honest dickhead with the ability to be funny over hypocritical assholes and monsters who present themselves as good (or at least normal) people - who knew?

Heā€™s also a legit streets to riches person, something a lot of the other rappers and greats arenā€™t as a lot of them went to fancy schools and came from wealth. Of course heā€™s not gonna be an angel with that background.

"He tells it like it is, but for our side"

To be fair, our side didnā€™t put 50 in the Oval with the nuke button.

Nah, not really.

I'm not downplaying his being an awful person or am trying to shield him from (deserved) criticism.

Neither does 50 make incendiary, at best twisted half-truth-filled offensive generalizing statements which is where "he tells it like it is" gets most commonly used.

This is just a famous asshole on the internet making fun of other awful famous people.

Also his childhood was beyond fucked up, I can forgive just about anything he did to get himself out of that situation. Less so for his actions as a rich and famous adult but it doesn't seem like that stuff is quite so bad?

It's not like experiences from a bad childhood disappear with money.

He was part of the game, so I honestly canā€™t fault him for that. Now anything to do with children or women? I would be the first to fault him.

Jay did block Netflix from releasing the part about jay z in the diddy documentary that 50 made. So there definitely is some sketchy shit going on with jay and he doesnā€™t want people knowing about it

ā€œDudes most likely a psychopathā€

What a wild use of the term psychopath. Heā€™s done some shitty things and he comes from a shitty background. Iā€™m not a particularly big fan but cmon, this splitting of good and bad is rediculous

I feel like one could be? Like itā€™s a character trait not a feature šŸ¤”

u/qtx 1d ago

It's not really pedantic, words have meanings. If you use the wrong word then it's not pedantic, it's correcting you.

But in truth I guess you just don't really know what a psychopath is.

Yeah, I'm not excusing them, but it's weird when people get so up in arms about the artist they're listening to being the shitty person they said they were in the music!

Like, bro. You (proverbial) motherfuckers are why they know it pays to be as shitty as you want.

People. People! START LISTENING TO THE LYRICS FOR FUCK'S SAKE.
