I don't dislike him, but I have yet to hear a decent review of his live shows.
Jeff Niesel of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reviewed the 50 Cent show at a sold-out Cleveland State University Convocation Center for their annual 'Easter Jam' on Sunday (April 20) with Jaheim and Clipse. Niesel says, "Instead of focusing on the music, 50 Cent tried to hype the crowd by bringing guest high school basketball phenom LeBron James onto the stage or pretending as if he was being shot and running off, only to return in a new outfit. He turned 'High all the Time' into a singalong and held a contest to see which section of the audience was the loudest. These antics couldn't substitute for poor sound quality and choreography that resembled a street riot."
Benjamin Poston of the Oxford Press reports half of 50 Cent's audience left Miami University's Millett Hall before the show was finished on Wednesday night. 50 reportedly arrived shortly after 10 p.m. before hitting the stage at 10:30 pm, an exhausting three hours after the listed time. "Everybody was booing him for taking so long," Miami senior John Lipford said. "It was inconsiderate - some of us have to get up early tomorrow. Besides, I couldn't understand a word he said." As for the heavy security at the venue, Miami sophomore Stephany Baker reasoned, "I mean, come on, he was a drug dealer and has been shot nine times. Sure, someone could buy a ticket and try to shoot him onstage I guess, but I'm not too worried about it.
Mark Guarino of the Chicago Daily Herald says of 50 Cent's performance last week: "The star sold his fans more than two quarters short when he walked off the stage at the House of Blues Saturday night after an 11-song, 25-minute set. Fans booed and he didn't return. Cher and Mariah Carey have been getting away with that kind of diva temperament for years. But these days, in the age of instant celebrity and reality television stardom, more first-time performers have been groomed to believe they've earned the right to flaunt bad attitudes and obnoxious temperaments to the peril of their public
Joshua Klein of Metromix.com reviewed 50 Cent's concert at House of Blues on Saturday night, where the rapper got a great reception, but because of his short set, didn't get a likewise farewell. Klein writes, "Real or not, 50 let the house down when he concluded his set after a scant 25 minutes. Admittedly, early hip-hop shows often feature truncated sets, and even 50's full-length performances have reportedly fallen short of an hour. Still, fans booed the rapper when he didn't return to the stage, and no wonder: tickets were $40.50 for both performances."

I like his new CD alright. Its got some nice beats but thats the deal with any music Dr. Dre has anything to do with. I agree that In Da Club was never really a good song and niether was Wanksta. He does have some good ones on the CD though.
Many Men is my favorite on the new CD.

Well, I don't think he sucks but he's nothing special. His rapping ability is average at best, and I think he gets by on his bad-ass image and hype for the most part (and it's pretty good fucking image, I'll admit.)
His real strength is his lyrics. He's not the most articulate guy (certainly no Eminem), but some of his rhymes are pretty imaginative.
Personally, I feel that other g-unit members are better rappers than 50. If Lloyd Banks can stay out of jail, I think he'll be a huge success.

He is quickly becoming one of those people that I don't hate, nor do I like. Just there.
But seriously, why is that anyone who doesn't like him is a hater? Just because you like him, doesn't mean everyone has to. Theres things I like, and if others don't like them, I don't call them haters. Everyone has different taste, likes and dislikes. It's important to understand that.
