Sorry for the confusion–I wasn’t referring to whether or not ‘cent’ was plural or singular. I was referring to the pronunciation of the word “fifty” as Fi-ty, skipping over the middle ‘f’.
Magickaly Delicious, according to my brother, who knows these things (his credentials include having smoked up with Rascalz after a show, if anyone cares), “fiddy” can mean “fifty”, or it can mean “a lot”. For example: “I hustled that sucka for fiddy g’s”
In that case, come to Baltimore. Plenty of white folks saying ‘fitty’.
Incidently, I say ‘sammich’ and ‘fitty’ when talking to my hubby because it sounds funny. 
And that’s why you’ll have mad cred on the street. 
From what I read, Jam Master Jay from Run DMC gave him that name. I’m unsure of any of the details, though.
Slightly off topic, did anyone catch Dave Chappelle’s parody of the current underground rap scene? Heh, it was great stuff.
Yep, that was hysterical.

Maybe he only hangs with Jeff Gordon when he’s doing the Indy 500/CocaCola600 double along with Tony Stewart and Robby Gordon?
Oh, I was big on the Indy circuit, but I really wanted to make it big in closed-wheel rap…
Just a thought.
For you brits out there, there’s now 50 Pence’s In Da Pub.
I haven’t heard of 50 Cent until this thread started, but I’ll be damned if he ain’t doing a show here in Indy tonight…
Fistacuffs. Shot in his left ear 9 times. Its gonna go double uranium. lol.
That show is so much better than I ever expected it to be. I really hope CC will keep it around.
You hear his RKelly spoof “Pee on you”. Thats a good one too.
