50 Cent
50 Cent feat. Kendrick Lamar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
[Gun is being loaded and than cocked]
The opening of the song is quite symbolic and intense. The sound of quarters falling onto a table and a gun being loaded and cocked sets the tone for what is to come. It represents the rough and tough nature of the song and the artist behind it. In essence, these sounds are a precursor to the story of the song, which is about the struggles of being successful in the rap game.
The lyrics of the song describe a persona that is all about hustling and succeeding in the industry. It talks about the riches and fame that come with being a successful rapper, and the struggles that one faces to get there. The lyrics are quite introspective and deal with themes such as perseverance, struggle, and overcoming obstacles. The appearance of Justin Timberlake is quite unexpected, but his voice adds depth to the song and contrasts with 50 Cent's raw and gritty tone.
Overall, the song is a reflection of the struggles that artists face in the music industry. It highlights the toughness required to succeed and the sacrifices that one has to make to get there.

NathanTheLlama Sincere Echevarria My top rappers atm are Eminem, Kendrick & J. Cole.
To me I like Eminem because well as you said he's a 'Monster Lyricist' no matter what he raps about he doesn't disappoint lyrically even if the topic is wack.
I also like Kendrick Lamar because he does something Eminem also does, he focuses on the beat and merges he's voice with it and makes it sound dope. He also has that one line in a song which kinda acts like an ad-lib and every loves to say for example in this song it's, "I made my first million fucking dollars, bought a Bible, uhh yeah God got me" also there's "She eyeing me like a nigga don't exist, Girl, I know you want this dick"-FuckinProblems.
That's pretty much why I like Kendrick Lamar, oh yeah & occasionally he does have some dope puches & wordplay.
& finally I like J.Cole because he's so clever with he's flow, the meaning behind he's songs are pure genius & he doesn't rap about pointless shit 24/7 unlike Lil Wayne & most Young Money artists. I also like J. Cole because he's structure & story telling is spectacular & he is overall a humble true to himself artist. He is also a dope ass producer!
What's your top 3 & why?
