you call Kanye a pop rapper, but wen i say 50 is pop, you reply with "well that makes bla, bla & bla pop"
it dont work both ways i'm afraid
you say "I Get Money", i say "Ayo Technology"
your subject matter is not what makes you pop, maybe in an ideal world but not in this one
one thing that came to me the other day in regards to the difference (and similarity) between 50 & Kanye, is the fact they still manage to portray lifestyles away from their new found success
i.e. Kanye makes 'everyman rap' regardless of bein a superstar, and 50 makes 'gangster rap' regardless of bein a superstar
they're both god at what they do, but my first point still stands... 50 is stale right now, Kanye isn't
i stick with Kanye for now, and await 'before i self destruct' to see if 50 is actually on to something, or jus doin his usual hype man thing to push a product
