In no particular order:

1. Tupac
2. Black Thought from The Roots
3. Talib Kweli
4. Eminem
5. Charlie 2na from Jurassic 5

I like some of 50 Cent, but I don't think he's a true MC.

Because I think a true MC needs to talk about more than bitches and money. They need to be able to lead the youth of America and help the community. I think 50 Cent isn't able to do that or at least hasn't shown that side of him yet.

He is.. but what you have 2 understand is, there is way to do it. Right now he feels people don't care really about 50, so he is putting out party music.

50cent - many men.. that is a song that is true.. just give him time to start speaking about his past

I dunno man, I heard some of 50's music and it doesn't sound like it is gonna get better (lyrically) anytime soon. "GO, GO, GO, GO shorty"

Many men, wish death upon me
Blood in my eye dawg and I can't see
I'm trying to be what I'm destined to be
And niggaz trying to take my life away
I put a hole in nigga for ****ing with me
My back on the wall, now you gon' see
Better watch how you talk, when you talk about me
Cause I'll come and take your life away

That is why people relate the two artist, they both rap about what they been thro, and they both have been thro the same things. Also, Pac also had a few more years of being in the public eye then 50 has, give him time.

Yeah, but Pac was a major rapper in the underground before he was found by Deathrow and the mainstream. Pac did way more for the community than 50. That song by 50 is just talking about how people shoot at him and how he is bigger than them and he'll come out on top. That's nothing like Dear Momma or Brenda's Got a Baby by Pac. Those songs had meaning with the community. This is at least how I feel.

Well.. 50cent is talented... and I guess all we can do is await.
