50 Cent - “Wanksta” (5.02MB mp3 file)
In between classes in college, I used to kill big chunks of time in the library’s computer lab, and my favorite thing to do in that lab was to look through the files other students had saved on the computers. One day I came across the beginnings of a paper written about 50 Cent’s song “Wanksta,” (oh, I didn’t start college until I was 23, so I’m not as young as this story makes me seem) and I immediately copied & pasted the whole thing and e-mailed it to myself. I wish I knew which class it was for and what the exact requirements of the assignment were (and the grade this person received on the finished product), but those details will forever remain mysterious. Below you will find the text exactly as I found it (and again, this was written by a college-age adult). Enjoy.
I choose the song Wanksta. Mainly because it effects and relates to most people today. To those who are false advertising their lives, living that of which their not. Living that or saying or believing to be something their not, what ever it may be. According to this song, it’s claiming to be a gangster, but their fake, so therefore you’re a Wanksta.
The well known rapper by the name of 50 cent has released the single Wanksta in the year of 2002 off of the sound track 8 mile. Which is also featured on his up coming album. A Wanksta is a fake gangsta. A Wanksta can appeal to anyone. Those of teenager, young adults, to adults. Considering that they are the one’s who would listen to the song Wanksta. The artist 50 cent also produced a video of the song Wanksta. The music video gives a better idea of what a Wanksta is and does. Meaning also, a wanksta isn’t only saying what he is but at the same time doesn’t do what he says he is.
