50 CENT - 50 CENT'S MELODIC RAGE

50 CENT'S MELODIC RAGE

50 Cent thinks his fans want to hear him perform ''aggressive'' music and hate him singing on his records.

50 Cent thinks fans hate him singing.

The 'Candy Shop' hitmaker believes his least popular songs are ones where he uses melody and sings his vocals, and doesn't understand why other rappers win praise for doing the same.

He said: "What they would knock me for is if I sung on a record - 'Oh, 50 is singing on a record' - they get upset when I use the melody. I've been encouraged to use more melody because I'm an international touring artist and I'm watching the music break language barriers, and all they can follow is melody when you go out there at different points.

"So I brought it, I came back, and I did different things creatively and they kind of resent me for what they love Drake for. It's interesting."

The rapper insists people want to hear him make "aggressive" music and don't trust other artists to provide the same themes in their songs.

Speaking about new album 'Before I Self Destruct', he added to MTV: "The content is coming from situations I've experienced prior to when I created 'Get Rich or Die Tryin''. What I realised translated most through my material is the aggression, and the people miss it because the other artists don't come from the same type of background or lifestyle. They don't want that from those artists."
