One Can Only Dream

Well, I have to admit that when I first heard about the battle, I was excited. See, every since he came out, my silent prayer has been that 50 cent would retire. Seriously, do we need another rapper who can't seem to talk about anything other than how much money they have, what kinds of cars they drive, or which "shawties" they hook up with? I don't care that he's been shot 9 times. In fact, that just makes him seem really stupid to me. Another gangster who financed his music career by selling drugs. Listen to this part of his bio:
Born in South Jamaica, Queens in New York, 50 Cent began drug dealing at the age of twelve during the 1980s' crack epidemic.[3] After leaving drug dealing to pursue a rap career, he was shot nine times in 2000.
Right. There is someone we should admire. A thug who found it more profitable to make music than sell drugs. I can't stand the guy or anything he represents. I can't say that I am in love with Kanye West either, but at least he tends to veer away from the street thug image so many of these guys embrace. In fact, Kanye seems more like a whining school girl. Still, when i heard that he won, I and a grateful nation rejoiced. Maybe our long hoped for dream would be realized. Maybe 50 would retire. Sadly, I don't think so. Still, a guy can dream can't he?
