50 cent published a book.
I heard that in a local newspaper this morning. Celebrities are making money from everywhere. They can easily sale millions of book just because of their popularity. First presidents, then singers, everybody is publishing a book now. Anyway do you any link for 50 cents book?

Wow, I can put it right next to my copy of Nichole Ritchies book.
What a joke.

Heh heh, I thought you would have something clever to come back with.
And I'm not a conservative, I only lean conservative.

I didn't really like the GTA games. I only played one of them, if I remember correctly. I'm not "big" on video games, but I do have a Xbox 360, but that is only so I can play the new Halo games coming out on it. Besides Halo, I really haven't played video games in, geeze, probably ten years.
WRT rap, as you know, I don't listen to it, but I have heard it, at bars etc. so I might be wrong about this, but I have noticed that in the early 90's they rapped about what they saw, gang violence and police corruption/brutality, but I believe that it later moved to more of a "me and my crew will beat your ass if you try to step to this" (whatever the hell step to this is supposed to mean).

I think it glorifies the violence. 50 Cent makes people think it's cool to get shot 9 times in the face. "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" sounds like advice... and not good advice in my opinion.
I... really dislike gangsta rap.
