Criticisms :

Along with the aforementioned Bill O'Reilly, many other people have criticised 50 Cent for being immoral. It is felt that his music celebrates guns and drugs, without any emphasis on social consciousness. More recently, 50 Cent has been chastised for being a 'sellout' due to his generally torpedinous flow, as well as for the sugary beats and shallow lyrics found on songs such as 'Candy Shop', 'Piggy Bank', and 'Just a Lil Bit'.
