I don't give a rat's vag about swagger. Maybe it's because I live in Houston, but there are plenty, by which I mean too many, of artists who get by on this "swag" craze alone despite not having any real lyricism skills. Hell, Soulja boy and Rick Roas have swagger but neither of them can rap to save their lives. I'm not completely against this though, I dont think music needs to be about technical skill. But when it comes down to bragging about how much skill you have and how other rappers can't compare (something 50 is guilty of) shouldnt you at least have the skills to back it up? My opinion of his music is pretty low, I just find it boring and commercial. Hell, I don't even care for The Massacre.
