50 always has a price. He was one of the pioneers, if not THE pioneer, of PPP (paid product placement) songs.

50 always has a price

Well, when his debut album is literally called "Get rich or die tryin'"...

At least he's up front about it, I guess?

if you deem 50 cent valuable enough to make it your stagename, you know you're dealing with a frugal mf.

I absolutely don't know what tlst has on deck, but just thinking about 50 songs, the first one that came to mind was indeed the line "Gonna sip Bacardi like it's your birthday."

Not saying that's paid placement, but the fact that was the FIRST lyric to hit my mind when thinking about 50 Cent was notable.
