| 50 Cent 2003 Inductee |
||||||||
| The rap world has been all about the bling bling, and throwing out the phat cash. But, this year, the genre was taken over by some change. 50 Cent to be exact. The rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, exploded onto the scene with his album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. At first, 50 Cent didn’t seem so bad. The protégé of Eminem and Dr. Dre, he was featured on the 8 Mile soundtrack and then jumped to fame with the song “Wanksta.” Not to be confused with “Wangmasta,” of course. Luckily for Mr. Cent, his second single, “In Da Club” was released before “Wanksta” could get overplayed. “In Da Club” shot 50 to a new high, even higher than the large amount of weed he has smoked in his lifetime. He became the elite rapper of this year. Then, something bad happened. 50 Cent became a victim of popularity. “In Da Club” began to get overplayed like no other, and suddenly we were all hoping for the song to be “On Da Shelf.” And, then, strangely enough, Mr. Cent’s face started appearing on teeny bopper magazines like J-14 alongside the likes of Britney “Give Me a Strap On and I’ll Bang Madonna” Spears and Justin “Give Madonna a Strap On and She’ll Bang Me” Timberlake. And, like that, 50 Cent seemed like he was headed down the pop music route and perhaps selling out on his roots, much like Ja Rule. Ahh, and so now we get into this long established feud between Mr. Cent and Mr. Rule. It intensified as of late with the popularity of both rappers, and has since taken on a dangerous feel with lyrics threatening each other and members of the rapper’s families. By tracing the whole thing back, I guess the feud started when they actually bumped into each other in a hallway. Actually, I just made that up right now, but it was something very little that has since grown very big like if Gary Coleman grew up to be Mr. T. He didn’t. He grew up to be Gary Coleman, California gubernatorial candidate who earned 12,000 votes. Pretty good, Gary! Whatchu talkin’ about HALL OF CRAP SANDWICH? (now a long, repetitive laugh track) And, then the moral of the story from Mr. Drummond. Wow, I’ve gotten completely off base. Anyway, in the “7th Hall Inductee Poll” voted upon by you, the people who visit THE HALL OF CRAP SANDWICH, 50 Cent tied Dave Matthews for the spot with 35% of the votes. So, obviously, it means that a good amount of people out there found 50 Cent to be rather annoying this year. Sorry, John F. Kennedy coin. I guess having “21 Girlfriends” wasn’t good enough. Well, regardless of where your career takes you, we know this one thing: you’ve won the people’s vote and earned yourself a spot in THE HALL OF CRAP SANDWICH, and that’s nothing Ja Rule can brag about it. |

| This was 50 Cent's reaction when he found out he was inducted into THE HALL. We quickly ran the hell out of the room. | ||||||||
