I’m sure that it would be unnecessary to explain who is 50 Cent, but it would be not redundant to write a few words about his career. First of all, his real name is Curtis James Jackson III (I’m almost convinced that 50 percent of his fans don’t know this - I also belong to that group of fans ). I still remember that time, when he became really popular, having released his album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” (it’s cover was really unique and sure out of the common - smashed (or broken with a gun shot) glass - “death tryin’”, so to say). The song “Hate It Or Love It” was originally from rapper The Game’s debut album - “Documentary”. It’s remix by G-Unit was included as a bonus track into the 50 Cent’s album “The Massacre” (2005). I’ve just listened to this remix and decided that it’s cool enough to be an mp3 ringtone for my cell phone today
Lil’ Kim is one of the best rappers among women, but she sings not just rap, but dirty rap. This hip-hip subgenre is sometimes also called booty or sex rap. Actually, it has a few more rude names, mostly because it’s lyrics is extremely sexually explicit. Very often dirty rap songs are really offensive, but, however, it’s rap Lil’ Kim’s real name is Kimberly Denise Jones. She even was sentenced to a year and one day of prison in 2005, because she was guilty of conspiracy and perjury for lying to a grand jury. She told that her friend was not involved in a shooting near the Hot 97 studios in 2001. But being in prison she wrote almost 200 songs and released her fourth album “The Naked Truth”, but it was not so successful as her previous album, cause she had no time to promote it. “Lighters Up” is relly great single with very nice beat, it has fairly acceptable lyrics and sounds not offensive or idiotic. I’ve already downloaded an mp3 ringtone for my cell phone
Eminem is a stage name of Marshall Bruce Mathers III. But most people almost all-over the world know him as Slim Shady and his song “The Real Slim Shady” (included into the album “The Slim Shady LP” released in 1999) is one of his best songs, which has brought him popularity. Eminem’s third ablum was one of the fastest-selling hip-hop albums in history (even I remember that time, when all my friends bought “The Marshall Mathers LP”). I also was the owner of one copy of this album. It was long time ago and I was a little bit confused by the label “advisory” in the corner of the album cover However, Eminem is like a white crow - rara avis. I haven’t seen another white rapper. Eminem is an extraordinary case
