Why did 50 change his lyrical style?

Code Blue:
Now I'll admit I haven't listened to a lot of pre-Shady 50 shit, but from what I have heard his lyrics are a hell of a lot better than what he spit on "GRODT" and "Beg For Mercy". I'm especially feelin' "Life's On The Line". He ripped that shit IMO. So why did he switch up? Was it to become more "commercial" for he could become more appealing?

kottonmouthninja:
dont know but he is horrible!

Yep. I was a 50 Cent fan back a few years ago. After he got shot he started being wack.

SGV:
Because back then he didn't have a selling point, so he tried to be lyrical, which didn't work out. So, once he had a selling point, his being shot, he became a mumble-mouth moron.

Jome:
Topics was the same, rhymes was the same..
Flows more unpolished, and the rhymes wasn't as "catchy" as today.
And his voice changed after the shooting.. gave him his "lazy flow" or "slow flow" if you want.
Not much changed but he became easier accessable, and I guess he did like Jay-Z:

It's the same for all the big rappers, if you wanna sell, you gotta be polished and easy accessible.. preferably have a catchy flow/style/lyrics too.
