Saying you smell “so” good establishes a Good Smell Level. If I didn’t smell so good, would you still hug me?

Just an extension of that first question. If I fell off tomorrow, would you still love me? She was like, “You know you don’t have a job, or a car, or even any groceries right now, right? You know you don’t have any muscles and you need braces, right? You know you’re not that smart and your clothes are weird, right? You know - ” and I was like, “I … get … it, bro.”Ģ. I remember being in college and asking my then-girlfriend if she’d still like me if I didn’t have everything I had. Almost every guy wonders this about the woman he’s with. Here are the 21 questions, and whether they are fair to ask when trying to figure out if someone loves you.ġ. I’m embarrassed that I was surprised, though. I guess I thought maybe he wasn’t paying close enough attention. I was a little surprised to find out there actually were exactly 21 questions in the song - 19 from 50 Cent and two from his guest vocalist, Nate Dogg. In the song, 50 Cent is asking his girlfriend all of these questions to find out if she really loves him. It was called “21 Questions,” from 2003’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’. We’re wandering further and further away from the shore.ĥ0 Cent did write a real love song once. He also has a song called “A Baltimore Love Thing,” but it’s a song in which he pretends to be heroin. In fact, in this case, it might be the opposite. While admirable in its wide-ranging inclusiveness, this is not love. 50 describes a bunch of women he keeps company with (“Fat bitch, skinny bitch, short bitch, tall bitch”). He had another song called “All His Love,” which started out like it was a love song (“He gonna give you all his love / He gonna give you all his time”), but we find out pretty quickly that 50 is describing a nice guy only to highlight how not-nice 50 is (“I be like, ‘Fuck a bitch, I’m trying to stay rich’”). There was one called “Puppy Love,” which sounds like a sweet thing, but the first line is him being thankful that his girlfriend had either an abortion or a miscarriage (“She was pregnant by me once, glad she didn’t have it”), and things move along in that direction from there.

He had some other songs that people (maybe) thought were love songs but weren’t really love songs. Welcome to That Was a Thing. In this series, a Grantland writer goes in the way-back machine and dials up a pop-cultural moment from the past, examining it with the benefit of hindsight.ĥ0 Cent wrote a love song once.
