Chump change: a brilliantly scathing review of 50 Cent’s new album
Here’s a gem for you: “[50 Cent] is no big shakes as a rapper, but as a lyricist he’s a disaster. He can’t do metaphors - at one juncture he claims to have the dancefloor ‘hot as a tea kettle’ - and his idea of humour involves referring to fellatio as ‘licking the lollipop’. He can’t even insult people properly … He calls Fat Joe fat, which, given that he already calls himself fat, seems unlikely to sting the very core of his being. Fat Joe himself is hardly among hip-hop’s rapier wits - his wildly varied oeuvre includes Shit Is Real, Dat Gangsta Shit, We Run This Shit and Shit Is Real Part 2.”
