Hate It or Love It. The Game & 50 Cent.
On the inside, everyone’s got a little ghetto-fab. Scrolling through my iTouch, I don’t exactly have the biggest collection of R&B and rap music — it’s more along the lines of John Mayer and Coldplay.
But you’d be surprised when I plug in my iPod into some speakers and Tupac or Dre comes blaring through the system.
Under 50 Cent I have a mere three songs, I’m not exactly his number one fan. But all the tracks have that trademark attitude of 50’s: do what it takes to survive.
How could I argue with that? 50 Cent survived being shot nine times, I’m sure he could have made it through senior year at Memorial.
In 50’s collaborative song with The Game: Hate It or Love It, they rap about their successes and attitude toward those in their life that wanted to bring them down.
I don’t exactly have gang members chasing me down with guns for wearing red on the wrong side of town, but I know a little bit about haters.
No matter what zip code you’re living in, you can’t make everybody happy.
50 put it best, “hate it or love it, the underdog’s on top,” “And I’m gonna shine until my heart stops.” Success comes with consequences, but to those that have earned it, it’s a small price to pay.
