    Nicky Minaj?

    No other rapper in the history of the game has more interchangeable parts than the Barbie doll....plastic ass, false eye-lashes, fake accent, pounds of make-up..just a complete pop-tart manufactured toward teen-girls who miss playing with dolls.

    But 50-Cent is an exec's wet-dream: dark-skinned, orphaned, bare-chested, ? -dealer who got shot multiple times that sing-raps and thrives off rap-beef and negativity....

    But if you look at how Iovine used the "8-Mile" movie to shape peoples perception of Emenim as this heroic white-trash figure who slayed the evil ni99ers like Rocky Balboa, then you have to give Interscope credit for brilliant manufacturing.

    Nas, went through mad different styles. I believe he manufactured himself though. If you look at Nas from Illmatic when he was on the street ? (Cormega said Nas was portraying him) to the Mafioso Nas, to Escobar, to Godson, to the ghetto prophet. It's all manufactured images and characters, dude does it well though.

    so u think the project prophet with vivid story description is bamboozling the people huh .....

    I honest think he would rather be the around corner scripture spittin ? and sell good records that way .... it looks forced when he goes into "esco" mode .

    A thug is an ignorant bufoon who destroys his community wit divisive,crab in a barrel behavior,beliefs and rhetoric

    Ie: Sellin dope to your people,beating or rapin your women,corrupting the youth and yellin 'thuglife' and encouraging black youth to ? ,drink liqour and be thugs

    Also makin fun of specific diseases that only black people get and gettin brothas killed

    Thats what tupac did

    He was a manufactured rapper who really was a lil lost black boy who was immature and talked a lot

    Dayum, this post is pretty etherous. Feelings will caught and laughs will be shared.

    You just described 50-Cent who destroyed his community with divisive crab-in-the-barrel behavior, belief, and rhetoric.

    50-Cent sold drugs, viciously beat people, abused women, he also corrupted millions of youth with his violent video-games and gun posturing....he once put a bullet-proof vest on his 5 yr old son.

    He also negatively influenced the youth to "Get rich or Die Trying" which led to an increase in crime around the country...he lyrically mocked the death of Hommo and the incarceration of Ja-Rule while getting an affiliate murdered after his violent crew attacked Jimmy Henchmens son.

    This is the same barbaric individual who burned down a home with his own child in it...

    Tupac had redeeming qualities and much of his music had substance but 50-Cents only objective is to damage other Black men who are trying to feed their families.

    This makes sense. However, this also go against claims that 50 was manufactured. The same ignorant ? you get on wax is the same ignorant ? you seen before stardom.

    To answer the thread, its obviously Lil Wayne. I read am article about two years ago that said he resembles Mr.Potatoehead due to how put together he is. Not an ounce of originality. Just different parts put together yo make him.

    50 HAD thug traits and 50 cent never preached the black unity rhetoric like pac did

    Difference is 50 cent does positive things for his community ie: Organizing coat drives in queens,organizing turkey giveaways,sending impoverished brothas and sistas to college wit partial or full academic scholarships

    And his street king project speaks for itself


    Also 50 cent was not the reason a legendary rapper like biggie was killed

    yea as a human being 50 is as real to himself as it gets nothing manufactured he gives u the uncut .....

    but the way he was pushed by that machine is just turrible ....
    the gunshots on every song to mutliple interview's/documentaries on how he got shot and him flaunting a gucci bulletproof vest while toating that iron in every magazine picture was genius manufacturing .

    yeah, you know, except for the fact that crime rates have trended downwards since the early to mid 90s.

    That's what he said in the deleted post......


    Actually after thinking about it a lil more. Gotta say Game. Dude is completely manufactured. Grew up in a crip hood but became a Blood at 22? Had a tongue ring, blonde highlights in highschool but became a gangsta rapper when it was time to sign to Aftermath. Beefs then apologizes to diss after the apology.

    LoL tommy said he wasn't taking the bait and didnt know what a thug was when H asked him at first .... ? 's mouth was watering at the thought of taking a open shot at pac though ....

    yea game was pieced together also .... lets not forget him and his brother falling out and his brother calling him a fake blood .

    Nicki is at the top for obvious reasons. Everything from her personality to body parts have been manufactured to fit her gimmick.

    Wiz Khalifa. Weed head persona, white boy friendly lyrics, and staged relationship w/ Amber Rose are all manufactured.

    Drake: Former child actor off canadian children's tv show. Enough said.

    Mac Miller: I can't stand this dude. Random white kid from surburbs w/ cookie soft rap persona manufactured for others of his kind.
