He is playing in Medellin. My friend who works for the event said he asked for 90 women backstage. And we thought Led Zepplin had it good back in the day. I should have been a rapper.

Do you think a guy like that is well received though?? I am just curious what people think...I mean in MY opinion (just an opinion.dont crucify me hah), I feel like not too many people like rap music and there is also a lot of racism/racial tension with African-Americans. Ok, so maybe 85% of the global female population are shallow, golddiggers...but apart from the sloozys they are going to drag up for 50 and the fact he is a celeb with a FOKload of $$, do think girls in Medellin or Colombia would dig a guy like this?? I just don't think so..but again just personal opinion based on stuff I have seen. Take away the $, the cars, and the bling, and is an everday african-american rapper asking for 2 boxes of condoms?

not at all and im sorry like it sounded that way...my roomate in the us and best friend here is african-american btw.

i said from MY personal experience spending a lot of time in colombia and seeing many occasions where black people arent being let into clubs/events...usually they were lower class. i was even on the coast teaching a large group and all the parents asked me about me feelings about obama and why they thought a black man should never be in office. again I AM NOT trying to generalize..just merely commenting from things i have experienced first-hand on NUMEROUS occasions.

im just trying to say you think hurricane chris and soulja boy are coming to do a concert there and get good reception? hard time believing so.

Why do you call the African Americans? Do we call whites, Anglo Americans all the time? Or English Americans? He is black. He is not from Africa, he was born in the USA. It is actually racist to call him African because you are basing it only on his race and not where he was born. He is no more African than I am English and I was born in the USA also.

AND --"Take away all that money, the cars, the bling, the girls, etc. and what is left? A darker version of you, Does that make you superior to him? You sound like a hater." NO missing the point..like i said im not hating on anyone for however they appear...im just asking how you think a minority rapper with none of the above material chit in a south american country where i have personally seen a lot of racist stuff go on, would be received. but this is a dumbass argument anyhow. i mean if i was in fokn medellin i would go to the damn concert with you

I'm sure they don't but even if they do, they don't care. It's music made in the US, so in their eyes that makes it cool.

Besides, many reggaetón songs are just as dirty and nasty as 50 Cent's and they go crazy for it down there.

So it doesn't matter.

If you guys listen really carefully to some of the old school vallenatos, you are listening to some pedophiles singing to young school girls asking them to stay home, not to go to school, etc. Not that they're gonna get it on with the young girls, but these singers are past 20 years old singing to very young girls. You can hear it in Jorge Onate's and Los Hermanos Zuletas songs. Back in the day, vallenato the same as Bachata was considered low class music for low class people. I, personally, LOVE vallenato, bachata, salsa, rap, everything!! Except country. Can't get into that.
And YES, alot of kids in Colombia DO KNOW what 50 is rapping about. I have a 21 year old cousin who sings reggaeton and when he chats with me, he calls me "his nigga" so they are very aware of the lingo from here, over there!

In addition, is also sad to see how many girls this guy is going to Scre....while in Colombia. I hope he gets 300 or 400 girls, so that when he leave they all can realize how slutty and dumb they were to even think that this guy was going to spend more than a couple of days in Colombia.

I think 50 is pretty shit. I really like hip-hop, but fiddy is really bad hip hop IMO. A lot of what makes hiphop great is in the lyric... and considering 50 cent really doesn't have great beats, I wonder if many going to see him will appreciate his lyrics (not that I think there's much to appreciate).

So the tennis-player's question is understandable: will he be well-received, and if he is... why?

There is racial tension between lighter skinned Colombians mostly of euro descent and with Colombian blacks/people of color/however the hell you want me to categorize people and yes, depending on where you are in the US, there is also racial tension in the US with some of the Latino community and African-American community. Again I am not generalizing..I said from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE so dont be so quick be a HUGE DBAG.

Sorry, I must disagree! There is some racism. My friend has a daughter a bit on the dark side, a bit of the nappy hair and she goes to ONE of THE expensive schools in Barranquilla, Marymount and the mother is very proud to state, "no permiten negros en el colegio" and the daughter said, "excepto yo, yo soy negra" and she gets teased about this everyday because of her hair and skin color. That's not the only example, haven't you heard people speak about the black features also? " Tiene la nariz como un patacon" God forbid someone with money is going to marry a person with a dark complexion, "hay que adelantar la raza, no atrasarla" heard this many times since a child..........So there is some racism in Colombia too, unfortunately.....

He may not need the money as far as we know, but his fan base is lacking as of a couple of years ago. He peaked in 2004-2005 and that was that.

Perhaps just the opposite? We'll see because the central bank cut the 50 percent 6 month hold on foreign investments today. Now that the dollar is gaining on its own vs the COP the Central bank is reversing one of it's key policies implemented back in March in order to curb the COP's growth - Which did't work by the way. If foreign capital comes pouring in to La Bolsa for some short term action we could see a run on pesos. Today might be a good day to go to the ATM as tomorrow the US market open....

At least you have an opinion señor Dub. Awesome. I'd say the Fed raising interest rates is a safe bet. The interest rate yield differential is muy importante. The Colombia economy has been solid and steady (OK a bit fast). Stifling with high interest rates? Care to expand upon "stifling" with say GDP or another such number?

But I don't think international investors looking to make money are interested in US healthcare and US social security. Energy is a global thing and Obama is not going to control OPEC. The US is not going to be pulling out of Iraq any time soon or if that does happen it will be to get into Iran with Israel. Expect a big attack and a war worthy of making the Fed Reserve banks very rich. That's the plan.

COP is still a bargain at 1500. Why was it there 2 months ago? How did the Colombian Central bank intervene at that point?

I've been trading options on MOS.

The US slowdown has been in effect for a few years. During those years the Colombian economy has been on the upswing. I have always said the US slowdown doesn't hurt the Colombian economy because 70% of Colombian exports to the US are the non cyclical comodities: coffee, bananas and coal. Flowers took a hit but are still being exported.

Am I missing some econoimic numbers?
