I agree with Bill O’Reilly, 50 Cent‘s brain can fit on the head of a pin. This is the same clown who put Oprah on blast for catering to an older white female audience. And he wonders why his albums don’t sell.

I saw this last night, and I was a bit surprised to hear him make that statement. Wondering if we will hear some sort of “my words were taken out of context” clarification statement.
That nicca is ignorant as hell. Did he just say that? OMG!!!!
Damn 50 for making me agree with Bill. He’s an idiot!
he’s telling the truth, though!! I think the same thing. Sorry. And isnt he a convicted felon? he cant vote anyway so this was pointless. LMAO at the “Mr. Cent”
Doesn’t really matter what 50 says…who listens to him anyway???
Uhhh, Oprah DOES cater to white women, this is common knowledge and he was definitely right! Oprah is the same woman holding a townhall meeting about how bad hip hop music is but then mentions one of her favorite hip hop songs is “In da club” by 50 cent…Ludacris spoke out on Oprah’s ways and so did Ice Cube…
Oh, and Sandra since when has 50 cent NOT sold any records? With his last album “Curtis” he sold 691,000 copies WITHIN the first week…besides Kanye noone else has been able to move those units in recent years..NOT EVEN YOUR LITTLE RIHANNA…Sandra dont speak on shit you dont know about
That last time anyone really listened to what 50 had to say, he was giving us the birthday anthem. There is a time and a place for everyone’s comments. Some can be in public and some need to be in the privacy of your bathroom-alone.
I dont see how this makes 50 an idiot either..He’s just stating his opinion and he didnt bad mouth OBAMA he just said HILLARY would be a better choice. The ignorant people are the ones just voting for OBAMA because hes black and not looking at what he stands for…
I don’t really know any women 54 years old black or white that listens to Hip Hop.. My Mama don’t even and she is 43 and as black as they come
@b Abhor_ completely cosign!
Its his opinion and everyone is entitled to their own, it doesn make him an idiot, and besides like someone else said who actually take advice from 50 cents or listens to what he has to say? certainly not me.
I cannot stand this man. For the life of me, I never understood whatthe big hype over him was about anyway. I will be so glad when the rap community has had it with him. Next!
I never liked 25 cent myself. His attitude ruined it for me as did Kanye’s. However I can undertsnad Oprah in her situation. Now you can get mad all you want but I’m calling a spade a damn spade. I have a boutique in the summer and I sell everything from designer shoes, to hnadbags, to clothes, and I have a friend that models and brings back lovely things from all over the world that only models, actors, and celebrities have access to or can really afford. Now when my stand is set up…I have Black women, white women, and mexican women who stop to shop. The white women sees something they like and EVERY NOW AND THEN..they will offer me something lessthan what the price tag says. Now on my good days when I’m felling goiod and have made a few hundred..I may let them get it for less..but somedays I let them know this ain’t no damn flea market and either you pay the price or sit my shit down where you got it from and keep it moving. But truth be told..you get them damn SHANIQUA’S AND TAY TAYs that want the hot stuff (that nobody have) but they think my name is MUHAMMED and they can bargain with me. I had one girl inquire about a Gucci bag that I got from Barcelona…it’s not that replica crap that has the tan/brown g’s that you see every third cow with..it’s the Gucci Indy and made of 100% COWHIDE LEATHER..when you pull it out of it’s storage case you can literally smell the leather. She asked me how much is was and when I told her $350 she was like I can get a gucci bag on peachtree street for $50. Honey I busted out laughing at her azz and told her she better get on down there then cause I don’t have no damn $50 gucci, vuitton, or jimmy choos with them damn strings hanging all out of them. Sometimes you just don’t wanna deal with FANAGLIERS (people that always want something for nothing) but you can’t go into the mall and ask them to give you something other than what it cost. So Oprah caters to them white women cause they spend BIG $$$$$$. They are either gonna buy it or they are not..plan and simple. Oh and just so yall will know..this is in no way talking about all black women cause I have a black attorney and a nurse that are my biggest clients…they both get a bag or some shoes every other week. THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION
oh and I left out the mexicans…them hoes dig in my clearance box that’s on the side MARKED CLEARANCE..sometimes I have sales like buy 3 $10 tops and get the 4th free…and once for a full week I did $5 clearance tops..really cute stuff but I shop every 2 weeks for NEW merchandise and I needed room so I did a sale. These non talking tricks see $5 or $10 on tags and come up to me saying dollar..dollar…dollar…and she had the nerve to have like 7 to 10 damn shirts in her hand. I say no not dollar CINCO BABY …..CINCOOOOOOO!!!!

Don’t forget that Harpo had that townhall meeting but would not allow even one of those rapper she bashed on to defend themselves, but she allows Superhead on to promote her book.

W H A T????? Are serious???
I MUST be missing your point but I’m scared to ask how this relates to the subject.
sorry carliss, i really wanted to read ur comment but i couldnt stay focused or figure out what the hell u’re talking about. sorry, boo
No Cents gets on my nerves just as much as he gets on anyone’s nerves, but he didn’t say anything out of line this time. He is not the only black person that endorses Hills. I don’t believe in voting for someone based on race or gender no matter how novel an idea it might be. As I have said over and over, if everyone thought that way, Barack would never win because whites outnumber blacks in this country. People have the right to vote for whoever they please.
Also isn’t this the same country where JFK and his younger brother RFK were killed in? And let’s not forget Martin and Malcolm. If anyone is the idiot it is Mr. O’Reilly and anyone that would be blinded by what he says.
I think Carliss set out to say she doesn’t blame Oprah for catering to white women because black women are unrefined ghetto hoochies. She just kinda dragged out the story.
I’m not going to judge her for that opinion, because I’m not giving $300 to a “seasonal” vendor no matter where they tell me they got the item. So I’m looking at her the same way she is looking at her customers.
Such and ignorant man. I hope people don’t think they are doing this country a favor by not voting for Barack because of the fear that he will be killed.
he just said what the majority of americans are saying behind closed DOORS….plus the word “ignorant” is being thrown around alot in here……i am wondering if you are looking in the mirror when you are saying it. he has a right to his own opinon. you don’t have to agree, but the name calling makes YOU LOOK AND SOUND ignorant
If we keep thinking that a Black man or woman will get killed if he/she is the president, we are setting up fear in our children and in us not to achieve. If they try to hurt Obama if he becomes president then hell we need to start a race war. We can’t keep living in fear Black people. And Fiddy cent if it wasn’t for our ancestors not being afraid to stand up against White people you wouldn’t be allow to rap and say GGGGG-UNIT. Get some knowledge my brother. But you rather support a White woman over a Black man? But you got mad at Oprah for having White women on her show? Some Blacks still have that slave mentality
We can’t keep having fear of the White people or anybody else for that matter. We built this country and now we are supposed to be afraid? Hell-to-the no!
Good thing that Bill O Reilly pick his battles carefully.Everybody know not to take 50 seriously I know I don’t.I never listened to 50.Sounds like a bunch of mumbling junk even when he talks I barely understand.
i cant stand bill o’reilly, i think hes an ignorant, racist a**hole, but i hate to say hes right about 50.. i liked 50 when he first debuted, but once get rich or die tryin blew up, so did his ego. now he thinks hes the greatest rapper of all time. too bad hes the only one that thinks that.
SORRY, I AGREE WITH 50 THAT MRS BILL CLINTON HAVE MY VOTE TOO..I DONT THINK WE ARE READY FOR A BLACK PRESIDENT AND I ALSO THINK PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS BLACK..AND REALLY DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE SUPPORTING HIM OR HIS CAMPAIGN SAD BUT ITS TRUE WE ALL NEED TO RESEARCH THE PERSON THAT WE ARE VOTING FOR AND 50 MAY HAVE DID HIS HOMEWORK AND BELIEVES IN HILARY AND HER CAMPAIGN..DONT SHOOT HIM DOWN AT LEAST HE IS VOTING UNLIKE THOSE WHO IS JUST TALKING BUT IS NOT GOING TO VOTE AT ALL..
^ Are you voting for her because she is a woman?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Are you voting for him because he’s black? It’s sad that black get mad at a black person for supporting Hillary because she’s not which in turn means they should vote for Obama because he is black.
^ That’s the whole point I was trying to make.Gender-base and Color-base votes.Because people automatically assume since you black and you vote for Obama because he black.That’s the whole point you just missed.
last time I checked, 50 cent has sold more than 1,500,000 copies of Curtis and had like the 4th or 5th highest first week sales of 2007. Attack the man, but you can’t attack his record sales.
@Sharonda
And the point I was making is that black people ridicule you if your black and you don’t vote for Obama but if a women votes for Hillary they say your only doing it because she’s a women. Don’t you see the hypocrisy?
Carliss,
The way you present your opinions is pitiful indeed!! You feel free to call Mexicans all sorts of bigoted terms and still expect folks to respect your opinion of 50 Cent or the so-called Black lawyer friend(s) you have?
Try polishing your language to show respect for your self before so others could respect you. Spewing insults and curse words is so….you throw in a fitting word here.
I know that I’m in the minority here, but Carliss had me cracking up. No, now with the slurs, but the scenarios. I dont’ know her from Adam, but she reminds me of Winona from Good Times.
I didn’t hear the last part of No Cents comment until just now. Having heard it my amended comment is:
No Cents gets on my nerves just as much as he gets on anyone’s nerves because his foot stays planted firmly in his mouth at all times. I never hear him say anything intelligent. Ever. I got to agree with Bill on this one.

Shoot I couldn’t laugh because she was talking about me! I get offended when street vendors tell me any price over $30 for a purse and I give them a lecture too. I don’t give a damn if it is real. If that means I am a classless ghetto hoochie then so be it. Whatever the reason is for them selling it on the street and not in a licensed retail store it ain’t good. For that reason I have not bought a purse on the street in something like 16 years when I bought a real cute Fendi bag for $10 in downtown Atlanta.
I have read all the comments from hating on 50 to agreeing with 50.
First of all…you might not like Curtis but you have to respect him. He has sold many records and he has more money than Diddy and will surpass Jay if his ass keep selling shit.
Secondly…what did he say that was wrong?!!! That is his opinion. I’m voting for Obama because his plans are better for this country but I pray every night that this man doesn’t get killed (it can happen people).
Third…Bill O’Reilly is a bigot. Fox News is extremely racist towards minorities. Montel stood up to them last week and they cancelled his show.
If you agree with Bill than you need to sit down and look at yourself. This has nothing to do with 50…this has to do with what you believe.
And sidenote…when was the last time I saw an audience full of educated black women on Oprah. This race is full of educated black females that has their head on straight and want something out of LIFE…when will AMERICA see it:)!!!

Would you mind explain why race should be a factor, in your comment I recall you saying and I quote “I DONT THINK WE ARE READY FOR A BLACK PRESIDENT”, I do understand that certain people are voting for the wrong reasons, and to each his own, but dont catagorize the population by saying
” AND I ALSO THINK PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR HIM BECAUSE HE IS BLACK..AND REALLY DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE SUPPORTING HIM OR HIS CAMPAIGN SAD BUT ITS TRUE”, Contratry to your thoughts and beliefs I actually did my research on all the candidates before voting on Tuesday.
And for those of saying America isn’t ready for a Black president or a Woman president, you sound as ignorant as the fools that said slavery shouldn’t have been abolished and as ignorant as the next man that said women should get paid less than men for doing the same job.
Ignorance is the extend of one’s knowledge

Where is your shop located exactly?
@ Bird
Bad boutique owners have left a bad taste in the mouthes of consumers. Like you said, some have knock-offs and want to charge regular price. I think a lot of Carlis’s customers might be mistaking her wares for knock-offs.
@ Milly.
Look for the angry shopkeeper snatching designer purses, scarves and blouses away from customers saying “CINCO!”.
I haven’t read any of the comments yet, but I wanted to point out that Sandra posted a clip by a spoken word poet a sometime last week. in his poem he states that his grandmother feels the same way. I think a lot of people feel that way, because the reality is that their are individuals in this country that are not ready for a black president. It’s a sad fact, but a fact none the less. So while his statement may seems misguided and unintelligent to some he is simply voicing the sentiments of a lot of people who fear for that mans safty. Do you have any idea how many times that mans life has probably been threatened since he announced his intention to run?

Please don’t tell me that this is your only reason for supporting Obama is because he’s not white?
What about his plan for this country? both Hillary and Obama have some great ideas on the direction that this country needs to go in and what it will take to get there. But, i am still waiting on somebody to give me a solid plan. With all the promises being made abour $3500-$4000 for tuition assistance for every student, to tax cuts for lower and middle income individuals, to health coverage across the board for all citizens and illegal immigrants )yes their plans include them too), where is the funding coming from?
If any of these candidates spoke on this matter then please point me in the direction of a link where i can listen to their plan for myself.
