Could 50 Cent be diagnosed as a psychopath?

[Malik]

I knew 50 wasn't right when he chided banks for being sad about his pops dying

Fif was like

50 is just another brainwashed lost n1gga that hates himself.. He's comfortable with confrontation around people that look like him...But would bow down and wash the feet of Eminem, Erin Andrews or Chelsea Handler...

Nah, I kinda dis-agree with you. i don't hesitate to pull a nikka c00n card but I really don't see Fif as c00nin. This the same nikka thaht said.

"nikkas think Jimmy Iovine's my boss. nikka, fukk Jimmy Iovine, nikka! I'm from 134th street, nikka! I ain't got no mothafukkin' boss." -50 cent

A c00n definitely wouldn't have said that, especially while still signed to him.
I think the Chelsea situation was a power move too. I watched an interview with him and Howard Stern asked him if he got along with her friends and he said that a lot of the people around her are producers and people involved in movies which is what I do. Once he said that I was like, I get it now. He wanted to increase his network.

The whole Fif and Mayweather friendship was based on Mayweather wanting to start a record label and Fif wanting to get into the boxing business so they agreed to help each other in those respective fields. They eventually because friends and then stopped being friends but Mayweather is still in music and Fif is in boxing promotion. That is why Fif did all thos songs with "Hayes" who is Mayweather's artist.

50 employees alot of his people. Hes a good guy.

I don't really know the man like that but judging by how he does business and the way he moves socially, the textbook definition would fit.

I would think for most businessmen of that stature there would have to be some type of social dysfunction, that's the reason they're fit for their positions.

Honestly 50 has shown a lot more sociopathic tendency in his actions than psychopathic ..... keep in mind I believe a lot of histories greatest business men and so called leaders were to a degree sociopaths themselves. Its what usually fueled their ambition to succeed & achieve their goals no matter the cost or the consequences ..... The same mindset that likely was behind an album title like "Get Rich or Die Trying"

 

[JasonSJackson]

dont know, dont care but u r definatly a fakkit

 

[J-MIL]

I definitely agree. You see the same thing with athletes.

I know Kobe has sociopathic potential. This nikka literally gives no fukks as far as emotionally connecting with team mates ect. I think Kobe's may have been caused by him being the only black kid living in racist Italy. He was probably isolated and somewhat non social. Then he moves back to Lower Marion and doesn't quite fit in with the black kids here...more isolation. Basketball was more so his escape.

Michael Jordan. I read how he used to think his father didn't love him as much as he loved his brothers. Because of that he was always trying to compete and out do his brothers and he said that is where his competitive nature comes from.

Jay-Z is similar too, business wise he cut people off without second thought. All of his old homies he used to hustle with are disgruntled, old label mates, ect.

I think that is a common trait in successful people.

On the other hand...Magic Johnson is kind of an anomoly. Magic is super kind, gives back, and seems to be more about helping. It shows in his style of play too. Inspite of not seeming sociopathic, dude dominated in his sport and he has a very sharp business sense and has caked off crazy in the business world. Magic might be the exception t the rule tho.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

More like a sociopath.

I truly believe his illness plays a part in his anamoly if u will. If Curtis had Aids, he'd have a telethon to raise awareness with all sorts of rappers.

I don't think its that so much as you just don't have to be a sociopath to be successful in business. Money can be made in a lot of ways and magic was wise with his money and in many ways made his fortune by being willing to invest in growing niche market that didn't have a lot of competition.

50, Kobe, and MJ's playing career were based in very competitive markets. Ruthlessness is a quality you needed to succeed at being a rapper or NBA player.

 

[REdefinition]

He cried on Oprah though lol

I dont know, Magic been the same since highschool as far as style of play and personality never changed either.

 

[yo moms]

nikka you aint lyin. I didn't love fighting I just used to always fight. It was more of a reflex.

The same thing happened with me homie. I'm not short but I'm built like a stick figure. (literally ) So as a kid its an even playing field because every body is skinny. When you get older and the nikkas around you fill out and you don't then you start to be more diplomatic.

If I can gain some weight, my dumb ass would probably start some bullshyt with people just to make up for lost time.

as soon as i realized i will always be a skinny nikka i got my ass to the boxing gym. now im not scared of fukking with anyone apart from other boxers.

ive ko'd much bigger people with one punch. its all technique really
