50-cent "Songwriter of the Year"!!

Dang, the people at ASCAP have good taste...

Songwriter of the Year honors went to 50 Cent for his contributions to five award-winning songs in 2005.

With such socially redeemable and uplifting songs as "What up, Gangsta", "P.I.M.P.," and who can forget the unforgettable "High All the Time," it is easy to understand why they would choose to give 50 Cent the honors.. Especially when afficionados of his music are some of the dregs most upstanding citizens society has to offer:

HOMESTEAD, Pa. — 50 Cent said he was saddened by the fatal shooting at a theater where his movie "Get Rich or Die Tryin'"

was playing.

"I feel for the victim's family in this situation," 50 Cent said on ABC's "The View" on Friday. "But you know, these weren't kids. This was a 30-year-old man (who) had a dispute with three other guys."

Shelton Flowers, 30, was shot at least three times Wednesday night after he got into an argument with another man inside a Loews multiplex just east of Pittsburgh.

Allegheny County police said Flowers had just watched 50 Cent's movie and got into a confrontation with three men in the bathroom. A fight ensued and spilled out into the concessions area, where Flowers was shot, police said.

No one has been arrested.

It just does a man proud to see such honors bestowed upon such a fine, upstanding citizen, doesn't it?
