HILARIOUS. I don't get the distinction this clown Ivan is making in his review. 50's rap is about "gun play", Banks'is about "pimp talk" and Em's is--squeaky-clean, G-rated rap for kids? Em is super talented but w/o 50 he would become irrelevant. The truth is Em's a true rapper but his subject matter often belongs more in a different genre e.g urban kids don't do gore. And for all his sales outside of this demo, he (and all rappers for that matter) wants to be applauded by the base of the culture. The energy and bravado 50 brings is a seminal part of rap (or a species of rap) and Em benefits from this association. That being said, both have stressed their friendship is not industry made so they should be respected for it. In general, I think 50 needs to spend more time on his raps. I consider him especially creative with wordplay and depth (e.g. Many Men)but he should rhyme more. Em is great rhyming but he shd slow down and work with the beat--starting to sound the same everytime out. That said, I like this last song. Its typical G-Unit/Shady. They go all out for the thug element and make it work. 50 is the worst thing to happen to Em?? HILARIOUS.
