True dat they are gettin paid, no doubt; but the truth remains that they are too egotistic like theyre all so enormous & all that & eventually washed up critically, & theyre not at all very creative... Just clearly listen to 50 bragging, he brags like an 18 year-old & his music is all just too-soft bubblegum gangsta shit thats just for the teens & others that dont know about any original & well-crafted rap/hip-hop thats still out there... C'mon now, 50's just plain annoying......
