50 Cent=the best marketing expert in hip hop?

[ABN]

would yīall say that it would be an accurate statement? as much as i dislike his recent music i gotta give it up to dude coz he can market anything and heīs one smart motherfucker. just take for example when he told MTV that he was scouting Mobb Deep and M.O.P. and that stirred up some shit and iīm sure 50 had already signed them before he even spoke to MTV coz otherwise he wouldīve placed himself right in the middle of a bidding war. and with how he has laid out his story and the stories for his artists is really crazy and heīs manipulating people better then anyone has been able to do in the past. Hate him or love him but either way you gotta give it up to him on the marketing level coz just of marketing alone heīs created what could possible be the biggest hip hop dynasty of all time from a business perspective(not from a musical standpoint though).

I gotta agree with you

[chronic01]

always said that 50 is one of the best businessman in hip hop right now which says a lot considering the guys with degrees and shit out there
like the vitamin water is huge 50 is releasing a drink everybody can buy especially the teenie booper fans of his rather than alcolhol which caters to only 21 and above

[Meho]

I gotta agree with you

[Jip]

would u say he brings his street selling expertise to the hip hop market 

[Mygla]

i'd say Dr.Dre/Eminem/Jimmy Iovine is the best marketing experts....

umm?? You do realize that Em and Dre didnīt really do too much too market 50 right? it wasnīt them who went on mixtapes a couple of years before he signed with them and beefed with every single person out there. it wasnīt them who took advantage of gettin shot the fuck up. it wasnīt them who discovered and promoted his artists before he even had a deal. it wasnīt them who came up with his life story etc etc. all of the street promotion and crazy shit that has happened around him has obviously been created by 50. and he started this whole shit waaaaay before he signed with Interscope. and Em and Dre aint got shit to do with any G-Unit related stuff except for 50īs solo career and the only G-Unit related shit that Jimmy deals with is 50īs record company and thatīs probably the thing thatīs bringing 50 the least amount money out of all the things heīs got going for himself. and with how much crazy shit 50 starts and with how his dumb but successful marketing plots are going donīt be surprised if he owns a major label in a couple of years. and these days 50 certainly doesnīt need Eminem and Dre to sell records and thatīs pretty obvious when The Massacre has already outsold Encore WW. 50 is not a good artist these days but he damn sure is one smart motherfucker thatīll turn any news in to some crazy shit thatīll only make him richer.

yep agree with the thread starter. 50 knows how to run a compagny and the rules of the industry. Look at Jay he has been in the game for a decade and he can't run Def Jam. At least albums under G unit records come out,(contrary to Def Jam and Aftermath)

marketing expert ?

man he uses common sense, use media for free advertising, he's not the first or last person to do it... Russel Crowe is doing it now, and has done it before.

[Kill]

itīs not merely 50, but some of the credit does go to him. indubitably

[big mat]

we dont need marketing expert or business men in hip hop man, we need rapper, emcees, real djs and ARTIST. The business is killing hip hop, take it back to the roots, nuff said

[Westside Soldier]
