And you in particular have been incredibly brainwashed by big labels and mainstream rap.
But wait a second, youre talking like 50 flopped. Thats crazy, last time I checked hes on a pace to do 550.000-600.000, which will be the highest first week sales in a long time (of course with Kanye most likely suprasing him). The problem is that 50 is dissapointed with anything less than 1.14 mill, he said that Massacre was a flop in his eyes, since he wanted to outdo GRODT. So, to say that nobody is interested in him is just plain reaching.
Timbo - Quit blaming Interscope for 50's failures. Yes I fucking hate Interscope, and yeah they fuck up their releases, but so does every other mainstream label these days. I would have no clue of albums from UGK, Devin, WC, etc etc etc if it weren't for me being on the net. Those guys are still doing it and are still making good music.But I still copped those albums BECAUSE THEY MAKE GOOD MUSIC. If 50 made good music, I'd cop his too. Bottom line is, 50 fell the fuck off as soon as "The Massacre" dropped. 50 played the exploitation game with mainstream rap - exploit the shit out of whatever is hot, burn it to the nth degree, completely oversaturate the market so as to milk every fucking dollar. And then do it again and again until you're completely irrelevant. Well now, 50 is getting a rude awakening that nobody likes him, his whole gimmick is completely played out, and nobody is interested anymore (relatively speaking). Rather than admit to any of that, he's resorting to blaming every one else.And you in particular have been incredibly brainwashed by big labels and mainstream rap. You parrot shit like "yeah a rappers shelf life is x". And you believe it because that is what all of these labels say to cover their ass when one of their big names doesn't sell anymore. It's never because said artist is no longer hungry, it's whatever reason is convenient. How is Dr. Dre's shelf life? Outkast? UGK? Jay-Z? You know who has these small as shelf lives? DISPOSABLE, NO TALENT, ALL GIMMICK RAPPERS...Mims, Soulja Boy, D4L, pretty much anybody you see on BET/MTV/Terrestrial Radio. When labels and "artists" (term used loosely) propagate music that caters to trends, then said "artist" is only as relevant as the trendy shit they're spewing. That's the game they play - they make some money for a minute, but they are instantly irrelvant as soon as that one trick show has been used up.And for the record, no one should believe a fucking word that comes outta 50's mouth. That bitch is reachin to keep his name relevant that he'll say anything to anyone who will listen. ITS ALL HYPE. 50's word means absolutely nothing.
