eeeeeediot
oops sorry i was to outraged to look around
Well, first off, 50 Cent himself has done nothing.
Some people have taken his vox and put them over some Queen songs, and mixed them a bit. A someone who has the mental capacity to like more music than Queen, I can say that it's actually quite good. Maybe not as impressive as the Grey Album (Jay-Z's Black Album mixed with the Beatles White Album), but it's still pretty good, in my opinion.
But I expect to get shouted at for saying all of the that!

Yeah, most of the remixed songs blow. Even worse is the "Boom Boom Clap" song. Could they plagarise WWRY any better? Last, listen to that song by something like Weeser, the backround sounds like WWRY-Fast. Where the hell do they get off on that?
Some people do not seem to understand the concept of some of these things.
They do not make this music with the intention of ripping it off and pissing people off etc. They do is becuase they want to, becuase they like it. Sometimes they do stuff because they are fans, or becuase they want to pay tribute, or simply becuase they like the sound of it.
Some of you need to get over it.

I agree, some people just don't get it.
First off, it's not like 50 Cent intentionally did these songs. As it was said earlier, people mixed his songs with classic Queen tracks. However the idea does sound a bit...gruesome :p
Second, The Weezer song you're probably talking about is "Beverly Hills", from their latest album Make Believe.
Yes, it does have the classic "boom boom clap" beat, but they intentionally wanted it to have that sound. I read in an interview with lead singer Rivers Cuomo that they were advised by legendary producer Rick Rubin to come up with a WWRY kind of beat for one of their songs on their latest album. Sure enough, it was this song.
So technically, they're not ripping off Queen just by emulating the classic WWRY beat. Now if they sampled it in some crappy song, then yes, that would be ripping off Queen.

3 words man, Ice Ice Baby
interesting, if it's true it might sound good. He makes good music, I wouldn't want to hear it though.

If anything I believe Weezer should be left out of this discussion. Here's why: The "Boom Boom Clap" song you mention , also named Beverly Hills has a beat that tho similar sounding to We Will Rock You is extremely different at the same time. There is an extra clap sound and its slightly off tempo. Did they copy em , I don't think so. I believe this was a mere coincidence and not meant for anyone to have taken offence to. If anything the whole album "make believe" has very signifigant tributes to Queen in many various ways I think you guys should listen more closely. Just the style and chemistry these guys have alone is enough to make me shiver just as much as Queen does. So ya ... putting Weezer in a topic with 50 cent ruining Queen songs to me is a definate no no. And for another person who ruined Queen songs see also: Vanilla Ice.

The "Boom Boom Clap" song is a rap song by god knows who but it literally says "Boom Boom Clap" as the lyrics. All of these people need to come up with their own shit and stop leeching off of Queen.
crazy little pimp called love is absolute class!!!!
I thought that it was quite good. The biggest mistake with sampling is usually that too much of the original song is used. But they used just the right amounts of short clips here and a lot of them were pretty good. "crazy Little Pimp Called Love" was really funny as well. I think that I liked the "Another One Bites the Dust" mix the most though.
