Definitely not.

Banning someone is one of the best ways of guaranteeing disproportionatley high record sales - and someone like 50 cent doesn't deserve the controversy he obviously wants for self-publicity.

Let everyone hear how crap he is.

my goodness, what a terribly talentless performer! I suppose you can't ban someone for being tasteless, I just hope his music will someday just all go away.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

No way - despite all the negative comments in the press, I've never heard even the slightest rumour that he borrowed a neighbour's garden tools and didn't give them back, so he can't be all bad.

Unlike P.Diddy (or whatever he calls himself these days) who borrowed Dr Dre's pruning shears in 1997 and still hasn't returned them.

Censorship is wrong unless it benefits our youth.

Now, now, its time to get rid of one awful thing

No. Don't like his work, but I dislike censorship of art even more.
