QOTD: Hip-Hop Romanticism

I enjoy hip-hop for many reasons. One of them being the often classic rhymes that are dished out on a song by song basis. Some very quotable, some better left heard. Unfortunately, hip-hop these days has downgraded itself to a concoction of nondistinctive beats and unremarkable but witty rhymes. The storytelling and social commentary has been lost. Too much trying to be a gangster and too less trying to understand the world.

Anyways, at the risk of being a complete and utter hypocrite, I have to say that I like 50 Cent somewhat. Not as good as Eminem, but at least he is distinctive. Which leads into my Quote of The Day. To express his undying emotion for some apparently naive woman, he says:

"I love you like a fat kid love cake."

Shakespeare had his soliloquies. Van Gogh had an earless self-portrait. Hell, even Poison had a "Every rose has its thorn." 50 Cent had his fat kids.
