I heard about this on the radio this morning. He owned 10% of a vitamin sports drink company that was bought out by Coca-cola.
50 Cent now $400 Million richer
That stuff sells like crazy. Before I went on leave for surgery we had 50k bottles of it in our back room.
My teenage sister drinks that shit like crazy.
Overpriced bullshit is what I say, but hey, I'm not the one with an extra 400 million dollars in the bank.
Hooray, more money for 50 cent, I hope he can buy a new house for that money and shove it down our throats.
Oh, that was the company that made Vitamin Water... I wonder if this means the ads for that stuff will be less obnoxious now. That would be great.
50 Cent annoys the fuck out of me more and more by the day.
that vitamin water replenish is pretty good when you've been camping out at a festival for a few days, other than that I couldn't see my self drinking it
50 cent used to do heroin I'm glad he's getting into the health food market

Maybe he can combine the two and America will cave in on itself and finally my people will return to glory. And casinos.
Vitamin Water tastes like watered down kool-aid with the energy kick of a swift foot to the balls. meaning it doesnt.
still good shit, imo.
So, exactly how much money does one have to make before fans stop buying albums about what a hard life you've got?
I think it's more like when you stop getting shot at.
Money isn't an issue in that lifestyle, it's respect.
I don't understand how these drinks make money. Do they taste different than Propel? Because I can't stand Propel.
Are you crazy? Propel is wonderful. It combines my two favorite substances, being water and waterMELON into one delicious drink for my convenience.

Propel is awesome.
Vitamin water is flavored water that's supposed to also be good for you. I buy it when it's on sale.
Propel just tastes like watered down Gatorade. When I drink it, I expect more flavor, and I'm always disappointed.
Sounds like you just need to lower your expectations.
I'm not gonna lower my expectations and pay more money for it.
That is the only decent tasting "vitamin water" drinks. It doesn't use splenda* (at least the one I tried didn't). But yes, most definitely a rip off.
Maybe I just need to add sugar to those drinks. Of course, I could just drink Gatorade.
Radium, I haven't seen you around here for a LONG time.
50 Cent's life might become a lot easier if he drops out of the rap business, settles down, and just plain retires.
^^We don't understand it, but they always stay in. I mean, just look at Madonna, she should have retired at least 10 years ago.
Maybe they're just passionate about their music, much like you're passionate about gatorade.
We sold vitamin water at my summer job. It's basically a non-syrupy gatorade like drink, with a hint of medicine taste, and lots of vitamins. Save for the orange and grape flavors, most every other flavor I've tried has been bland and gross.
I bought a bottle of orange vitamin water after a concert a few weeks ago (I was really thirsty and all the smoke from the venue really irritated my throat), but I don't see myself buying it regularly.

Just like Glenn was passionate about hacking the forums over the years. Then he stopped but was still annoying.

She should have retired more than 10 years ago. Hearing her try and rap on the radio made me wanna run my car into the ditch.

I was talking about 50 Cent making his own life easier, not necessarily his audience's.

He's gonna have 15 year old girls after him until he dies. I've even seen a few older women staring at his pictures. He's pretty much fucked in having an easy life.

Nah man that's the life right there. Shit, we should be so lucky.

Then go pull an R. Kelly and piss on a girl.

At least now perhaps Mr. Cent will upgrade to 75 cent.
