Quotegreghm, do you work for his publicity firmno I don't think so, is he from Comcast/disney Quote50 Cent is a very pretty man. The demographic buying his music is not the same people who bought Ice Cube "Death Certificate," or Public Enemy "Fear of a Black Planet."The strange stuff about rap, is when it has to go global, it has to be supported by white audience, hence losing its support for da hood. NWA, Cypress Hill, Dr Dre (ex NWA), Ice Cube, went all ten times platinum thanks to their attraction of teens who usually listen to Rock, Metal or close to that. that's why some merged both of it, but reaching a smaller success. Cypress Hill evolved constantly throughout the albums, so were they able to do another Black Sunday, or had they to move toward hip hop, then fusion ?About Tupac, as many people, I did not know him before his tragic death, he has never been selling so many albums since his death
