Comment: Say what you want - he's a more intelligent business man than piddly is (he prides himself the black donald trump but isn't even close!) Owning half a platinum mine is a serious coup!

Comment: 50 Cent looks much smaller now-a-days. He used to look much bigger. Also, he won't have a vitamin water deal every year so, I'm hoping the mining deal works out.

Comment: Dude may be crazy rich, but he still looks like King Kong to me.

Comment: Fifty is not trying to return to the "hood"! Hell, I don't blame him, also he is making money and not trying to return to his former lifestyle... can't be mad at this brother...period! All the haters need to do the same thing... invest your money and stop buying frivoulous items because when a car or your jewerly is lost it's not going to replace food on the table or your kids necessities for school... think about it rappers!?

Name: PRDC
Comment: I am so proud of 50 he has made a 360 turns for the better. May God continue to bless him. It shows that justbecause you were born in drugs, etc., you don't have to remain there. Some may hate or dislike him but the brotha is study moving......

Comment: get that money !!

Comment: Is it really 50 and Jay Z making all thses big money business moves or is it just the people they have hired around them makin these moves for them? Can I really applaud 50 or Jay Z or should I just be appluading their bidness teams?

Comment: TMAN..in the world of investment (as I'm sure you know) you have people who advise you on what to do. Unless you are a business mind like Buffet or Trump and 'em, you have to rely on advisors. So I don't think "who" is more important than the outcome which is that they both are paid..through their own ideas or others. AL..WTF is up on the west coast homie. Uhm...have u seen bty talk 69?

Name: TesticAl
Comment: No problem Tman! LOL!Herbs you already know I have. I have that shyt on dvd. Get at me on the email. The collection is getting massive. LMAO!

Comment: Big ups to 50, JayZ and Diddy.

Name: TMan
Comment: musbdherbs, thank you for that - you too TesticAl. I raise the question because when these rappers go from materialistic thug type raps to all these big bidness deals and then all of a sudden they are ranked #1 etc on Forbes I think my question is valid - "who's genius was that? who's credit does THAT really go to?" I like to know if these rappers truely have the business mind talent to bust all these moves themselves or are business folks around them advising them or straiht up running the show. I like to know the behind the scenes dynamics before I applaud these guys on these levels. I'm not saying they aint smart enough to make these $$ bidness moves on thier own - but whenever I hear these deals and news deals and their brand tie in successes I always think "Ok, now, are they really bidness men on that level rollin like that or are they just takin advice from thier teams or are thier financial folks doin the whole thing and the rappers just get the credit?" Just questions that come to mind when I read these reports. Peace!

Comment: Your point is valid TMan. Most people do have advisors and things of that nature. I will not debate you on that. But some things they can do for themselves. 50 said Vitamin Water came at him to sponsor him. They wanted to reach a hip/younger crowd. 50 said he would do it only if he could invest in stock in the company, which he did. The company did great when they just slapped his name on the grape flavor. He just got extremely lucky when Coke bought the company for billions. You can applaud 50 for him pocketing that 100 mil plus. LOL!

Name: TMan
Comment: OK, I hear you thanks!

Name: ss69054
Comment: Of course they have financial advisors, lawyers and other business acumen people working for them but it doesn't matter about who gets credit b/c all we know is the brothas is banking while you all hatin on how they got their paper. They sleep and still making money, can u do the same?
