50 Tyson Has Autism - What's Your Excuse?

I knew from the first time I heard 50 Tyson say, "this is a sing I made up,” I knew that there was something a bit off about him.  Because I knew something wasn't quite right, I could not make fun of him in the same way that I make fun of most wack rappers.

In the past I have worked in the education system, but more specifically with autistic children.  When I found out 50 Tyson was autistic, I was amazed, because the children I used to work with could have NEVER made up songs and put them on YouTube.  They were extremely low functioning and lucky to be able to recognize shapes.  There are high functioning people with Autism that lead regular lives with minimal assistance but how many have become famous for rapping - 1 - 50 Tyson.

People found his music entertaining enough to share it with others and his videos have reached more than 6 million views on YouTube alone.  He has even made it to national TV, with one of his videos appearing on Tosh.0, where mainstream rappers like Fabulous and Bizzy Bone have also appeared.

The Problem:  People are really trying to battle 50 Tyson. WTF!!  He has autism.  Let that man be.  The following video is of a person (I can't even call him an artist, rapper or anything) is battling 50 Tyson.  His name is "Ex Con Attempted Murder."  WTF!  This man is by far worse than 50 Tyson.

The Big Problem: Rap music (I'm not going to even say Hip Hop) is regressing.  It seems to have developed Alzheimers.  The lyrical content and subject matter have regressed to a point where people with special needs are able to shine in entertainment.  Could it also be that the audience is regressing?  YES!  Watch this video to see what Wocka Flocka had to say to our children about school.  Go check out the movie Idiocracy to see where decedents will be in 500 years if we don't make changes.
