i strongly disagree wit ur comparison wit 50 and 2pac...im from cape town south africa and the hip hop community ova here dont care much 4 50 and g-unit, they are more 4 conscious rap...ther are some mainstream listeners that dig 50....and also u find those kids that'l graffiti g-units name on the walls but dat's only cos they think it's a cool name 4 a gang....but as far am concerned 50's buzz has died down in south africa...he shoulda thort bout doin a show wen beg 4 mercy dropped...

This Is Why I Tell People Stop Putting Africa As A Whole, There Is Countries In Africa And They All Have Different Views. It Might Be True About Wat U Saying About South Africa But Countries Like Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Ivory Coast And Along Other Countries, 50 And Gunit Is The Most Talked About. And He Is Big In Some Of Those Countries, Bigger Than All This Rappers Here Including Jay Z. When Jay Recently When To Ghana, Niggaz Didn't Pay That Nigga No Attention And They Had The Nigga Perform In Accra At A Small Venue, When G-unit Performs In Stadiums And Shit. So In Some Cases My Man Can Say That " They Like 50 As Much As They Liked 2pac"

Yo Tantrum I Gotta Write A Paper For School About Someone That His Music As Influence Me And Changed Other Things, Well Lucky Dude Is One Of My Favorites And Im Gonna Write About Him And How Is Music Kinda Brought The Whites And The Blacks Together In S. Africa, But Do U Know More That U Can Hook Me Up With? Aight Man Thanks
