Do you feel that 50 has true lyrical talent? Or is it just the image that makes him sell records?

Why Do People Insist On Calling Jay-Z Lyrical..He Used To Be Lyrical Prior To 1998..
Jay-Z A Song Writer..
Nas Is Lyrical..This Is The Main Reason Why Nas Has Never Got The Credit He Deserves..Cuz Hes Not A Song Writer..

50 Is A Song Writer..He Used To Be Lyrical But Switched His Style So He Could Blow Up..
Its More About Flow With Them..And Riding Tracks..But 50 Makes The Best Hooks..Lyricist Cant Make Hooks..

wow...the governor....I KNOW you did NOT just say Lil Wayne is a great.


Anyway, 50's sold alot of records even before he had an image..his first cd from Aftermath he sold 10 mil, that has nothing to do with image, He couldn't have an image as soon as he first releases. And he doesnt have much lyrical content, but its what he says with the words rather than what words he uses that makes him one of my favorites.

They all rap about different things so I ain't sure. I think he is a great artist but maybe not up there lyrically with some of the top guys. Some artist put in that work to make great lyrics while others give you just enough. Honestly I think Fif to busy running his empire than to sit around a studio writing the best lyrics he can write. I mean Lil' Wayne his doing his thing right now because what else he got other than rapping. Same thing goes for Nas. Jay-Z is just a freak of nature. Anyway if Fif stop making the movies and doing everything else and just locked himself away for a few months to concentrate on his album then I believe he could easily drop a classic. Look at GRODT. He can make a great album if that is what he focuses on.
