Disco de 50 Cent: “Window Shopper”

When I first heard this track, I thought it would be decent because at least the beat sounded somewhat tight. But then the beat got repetitive and the hook may have been the wackest thing I've heard in a long time:

"Homie youse a window shopper

Mad at me, I think I know why

Homie youse a window shopper

In the jewelry store lookin' at sh*t you can't buy

Homie youse a window shopper

In the illest sh*t tryna get a test drive

Homie youse a window shopper

Mad as f*ck when you see me ride by"

This cat can't be serious. Listening to the hook alone sounds like 50 Cent is doing a parody of HIMSELF. Dude's just making rap look more and more materialistic and shallow with garbage lyrics like that. And why is 50 rapping like Nelly throughout the entire track? Seriously, the sing-songy flow crap works for Nelly a lot better than it works for 50 Cent, and that's not really saying much of anything. And to top it all off, this sing-songy junk is coming from the exact same man who dissed Ja Rule for singing on some of HIS tracks. Ladies and gentlemen, meet hip-hop's biggest hypocrite - 50 Cent.

I bought this single for the same reason I bought 50's Candy Shop single -- so I could rotate it in the clubs I spin at. Hey, I have to play what the people want...and they ask for this guy repeatedly (don't ask me why though).

Window Shopper, from the Get Rich Or Die Trying Soundtrack, is easily one of the worst tracks I've heard since Raven Symone dropped "That's What Little Girls Are Made Of" back in '93. I thought the production was decent for about a week or two -- then I got tired of it. Now, you can't pay me to listen to this CD.

I'll Whip Ya Head Boy, also from the GRODT soundtrack, is another lazy joint from 50 and features the usually reliable Young Buck, but even YB fails to bring any heat on this track. The production is awful too.

The bottom line is 50 isn't going to change. His monstrous suburban fanbase will keep him afloat for at least 5 more years. So you can expect to be annoyed by more of his wackness for a while. This should go without saying, but you should avoid this joint like the plague. If you already have it, then use it as a drink coaster. It's not good for much else.

I am privileged to be the first person to review Window Shopper, as it means for a while at least, it will have an average rating of 1 star. This is the worst diss track ever to be recorded, iv'e heard 50 fans saying he killed Jadakiss, Fat Joe and Nas, how exactly? Just by mentioning their names in his song?

First of all im sure all of the rappers he has dissed in this track can actually afford anything they'd ever want, so they are therefore not Window Shoppers. Secondly they all have at least a bit of integrity left, and Nas in particular will always be loved in the hip-hop community, even if he does have a little less money than 50. How this retard thinks he can take on Nas is beyond me, he is so far behind Nas lyrically it is unreal, it is a mis-match. Hopefully Nas will come back at him on his forthcoming Nasdaq Dow Jones album, and end his career. This probably won't happen though because 50's fanatical fanbase of 13 year old girls will still buy his s**t, and have probably never even heard of Nas.

Weakest diss track ever, from the weakest lyricist ever, who is also a snitch, f**k 5-0.

The song Window Shopper, actually for what i understand is talking about the fact that now he's saying that he got a much bigger economic power than before and is a mesage strictly for people he might know, everybody crossed (...)in this life, who show their power just to make you fell weaker, to humiliate you or just to show you that you're less powerfull in that sense, and of course money it's a clear source of power, it means, i can buy you, your family, your dreams, and you got nothing to say or do right now, good job with that song for 50 Cent, (...)
