Am I allowed to say "no homo"? Cuz I don't feel comfortable posting this album cover without clarifying that...well, whatever.
Dudes on LiveJournal hate it, while the women there are fawning over 50. In that respect I guess it's good marketing, since teenage girls drive all pop hits. However, if guys feel like he's pandering to the females too much, his credibility could get Ja-Ruled.
Hmm...that has me thinking. Maybe 50's almost-porn Disco Inferno video is a gift to the fellas for dropping the sugar sweet Candy Shop song as the first single.
Shit, I'm Gay and that cover does nothing for me. I don't get the connection to him or his work represeneted in that cover, but maybe that is just me expecting to much as usual.

as a designer, i think it's cool. as a girl, i think his abs are played out. as a hip hop fan, i think the title is tired. damn don't rappers get tired of killing and violence? sheesh!

Oh he's definitely pandering to the ladies on the upcoming album - you'll see.

Is this any more or less gay than his last album cover?
Posted by: ian | 2005.02.17 at 01:55 AM
He's pandering to women and hip hop's gay subculture... This could easily be a cover for Black inches magazine...

I was gonna post the same thing. Somebody tell him to put a shirt on, he ain't big, and plus nobody wants to see that.

fifty is freddie. mercury that is. but the question is: where's foxy in that video? wasn't she the one tasting just like candy? and btw: if fifty continues showing his face next to an ass, people might become unsure which one of both is the face...

Not only is that album cover a tad, fagged out! But it's also really shit! It looks like a schoolboy did it for a laugh!

The cover is complete crap, he looks like an oversized ape, and he's stressing his abs way to much. Besides that the tracks are crap with the exception of Disco Inferno, Candy Shop, and a few others. 50 get a new cover, this one makes you look like a fag with the pretty colors and background. Pay more attention to the fans and less to the ladies. PEACE.

I think that those people that is
writing bull shit about 50cent is jealous
of him,because they can.t be like him or
get rich like him,so they need to shut the
hell up and stop talking about him.I know
it,s is freedom of speach in America,but still shut the f'''ck up.
