Hahahaha…

Naw, I don’t think 50’s no knucklehead…

I read an interview with him in Fortune magazine a few years back. He’s a very smart business person. I’ve liked him ever since then.

I think it’s a good move on his part, as he was recently catching heat from the “rap music creates violence” camp, he now has something obviously “positive” that he has done.

And more goodwill abounds…

I’m not at all surprised that this fine and intelligent young man has turned author; we have amazing things still to see from “Fiddy”…i’m a senior citizen and I sorta know these things; he’s sown his wild oats as we all do/did; but he has enough sense to know when to ‘quit it and get it’! I’m a Fan!

This man depicts the savviest the wittiest and the most calm entity to exist. He makes his way thru to anything just by his acumen, blueprint, innovations, incredible breakthroughs. People have trepiditaions inside them, he does not, that is why he has something in advantage to stake, gamble and cop everything. Starightforwardness, no ambivalance, motivation and checking out for momentums. Go-getta.
