Re: 50 Cent\'s Intelligence Level
 

Unless you know the man personally and lived to tell the tale, how the hell can you say whether he is intelligent or not or has a high IQ or not? He could be brilliant, could be a dumbass. Based on the public info I'd put it at something like 4-1 odds that he's at least above average. Then again, there are a bajillion facets of intelligence as any good psychologist/educator will tell you, so asking this broadly is sort of useless.

I don't, just my guess based on his track record. Plenty of very talented entertainers have failed because they couldn't grasp how to transform those talents into commercial success. I think it takes a certain intelligence to be able to do that. Maybe he just surrounded himself with the best/brightest in the industry, I don't know, but I would err on the side of him understanding what to do to remain successful.

Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is supposed to measure your intelligence, so are you arguing that IQ is not a good measure of intelligence?

No, I just think there are different types of intelligence.

50 cent is an extremely driven, quite talented, quite smart guy who got backed by the right guys at the right time.

He's also ridiculously insecure which is sorta sad, but I guess inevitable. Hopefully when Kanye slaughters him at the box office he can get not insecure.

I think there is roughly a 100% chance that istewart will get one of his current accounts banned when he sees this thread.

Kanye doesn't care about 50. I mean he probably respects that 50 does well, but I doubt he thinks of him as any kind of competition. Kanye's real competitor is JT.

A friend just recommended the new 50 Cent single, "I Get Money," to me. I'm pretty into rap and I like 50 a lot, so I downloaded. I listened to it and got to thinking, "Man, isn't there something else he can rap about?" I mean his other single from Curtis (new album) is entitled Straight to the Bank, and he obviously talks about making money in like every other song.

My friend replies: "Dude, what else can he rap about? If he took an IQ test, he'd be borderline retarded."

I completely disagree with these sentiments. The guy is worth roughly $100 million, and he obviously didn't come from a very affluent background.

So, is 50 just merely marketable, or is their actually some brains behind the bank?

100 Million? He got 400 million from vitamin water alone.

Plus hes not just rapping about money. His [censored] is way deeper than that [censored] kanye west that pretends to have something to say.

Plus whats wrong with Getting Money. Thats the motha [censored] point. You work hard to get out of that environment and get a little something.

Re: 50 Cent\'s Intelligence Level
 

It's sad because he used to be really dope and interesting rapper. Money and fame can water down the best of them though.
