​Music is one of those creative things that only hippies do, or at least that's the stereotype. But seriously, what kind of self-respecting conservative would devote themselves to being a (guf-ah!) professional musician?







And what already-famous musicians would commit the career suicide of admitting their Republican affiliation? Sometimes the answers might surprise you more than you think. In celebration of the current state of WTF that dominates the 2012 election, we've decided to dedicate some space to some musicians whose political affiliation is cause to consider exactly how big some tents are.





50 Cent





The child of a cocaine dealer from Queens, 50 Cent grew up to be a successful rapper, record producer, entrepreneur, and (in some respects,) actor. His life took a huge swing and mountain of money came his way. In 2006, he announced his affection for George W. Bush:





"I actually like Bush. In some ways, I'm the George W. Bush of hip hop, nobody likes me, but I'm still gonna run it for the next four years," the rapper said.





Except for the fact that he's sold millions of records and he's actually revered by the rap community, yeah, he's totally like GW.
