Like Nas said, "When Get Rich Or Die Trying came out that was the last time I really felt hip-hop was alive". 50 has definitely fallen off since those days, and I'm not much of a fan of him anymore. But still, he's better than most of these rappers that get love on the East Coast.
I mean.. what have Kanye and Jay-Z done over the last several years that's any better than 50 Cent?
It seems like 50 can't get no love these days. He's tried beefin, he's tried workin with Em and Dre, he's tried running around with Mayweather, he's tried goin down South and support Souljah Boy... he's tried every damn thing and nobody gives a fuck. 50 can't get no love? What's up with that?
-
Good question. I'm not sure, but to me he's never seemed like a NY rapper. He has always seemed to be closer to west coast with his production, and flow. Maybe that's why?
-
50 sounds west coast? foreal??...i mean, i sorta get what u mean, back when dre put him out, some of his shit had that west coast thump... but i wouldn't say he has much of a west coast style overall.
i think cats dont fuck wit him cuz his music aint really soundin fresh or innovative...jay-z and kanye, while they may not be the dopest rappers, theyre doin different shit to capture the youth, while 50 is still puttin records that sound like imitations of "get rich or die tryin"...that last joint with snoop was hot, tho.
but to be honest, jay-z's new album is actually solid...some great productions on there, and he aint the rapper he's cracked up to be, but he aint the worst.

Because he's a FUGAZY!

His shit's just too redundant. GRODT was huge but after that he just couldn't really make his shit that interesting anymore. Not whack, but not worth my time either.
-
50 cent had bandwagon fans muthafuckas who only fucked wit him cause he signed wit dre and em.

50 is actually one of my favorite rappers. When he was hungry on the mixtape scene nobody went harder! I still shake my head and say damn when I hear that "what I'm supposed to be scared cuz you got a big chest? My 4-5 will lift you and yo motherfuckin bench press" line.
But dude got so repetitive. Give me any topic and I can damn near predict his verse. And now he sounds so outdated, Kool Mo Dee flow havin ass nigga.
Hate to say it but he's done. I think Snoop is good for 1 more great/above average album. I think if Nas goes the Nigger / Life is Good route he's nowhere near done. Jay is good for another solid/decent project. But 50? I really don't see him having much more to offer other than putting all his energy into a new upcoming artist and revamping G-Unit Records (please no Yayo or Banks). Actually NY is wide open for 50 to create a new East Coast powerhouse.

that's too easy, Jay-Z, Kanye, and then any new rapper who's selling..
1. Jay
2. Kanye
3. Asap Rocky
4. Pusha T
5. Meek Mill
-
couse he's a 1 hit wonda.
-
Jay has been inconsistent as well...I think the radio DJ's in NY have something to do with it as well building up Jay as a legend and always playing his tracks but not so with 50 the last several years
-

troll fail
and 50 doesn't get love in NY because back when him/G-Unit came up he basically divided and conquered the entire city and wanted to shine over everybody else like Dipset, D-Block, etc. and now look where he's at trying to be buddy buddy with everybody from Jadakiss, Fabolous, ASAP Rocky, etc. lol

This is like the tenth time I've seen you say it so now I have to mention it...Kanye is not an East Coast rapper. He's from the Midwest. Pusha T was born in the Bronx, grew up and reps Virgina aka the South. So already two out of the five on your list aren't even from the East Coast.
Secondly, please delete your account if you think 50 Cent is actually a better rapper than anyone you just named in 2013.
Finally, you're a troll.

kanye is from Chicago

I don't know shit about Pusha T... I admit. I knew Kanye was from Chicago, but it just slipped my mind because I don't give a fuck about that nicca, so you got me on that one. I can admit when I was got. I even had to look up those last 3 names, I'm not into any of the new rappers.. *tip my cap

Just to be nice, Curtis should just retire from the music biz. There's nothing left for him to do. Live off the vitamin water cash he got even. Possibly repair the broken relationship with his son.
-
He still works with a lot of people, i don't know what you talkin' about. 50 Cent always been the type of dude that wants to beef with everybody and doesn't give a fuck about people showin' him "love". I'd say all the old mixtapes and "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" are classic material, but after that his music has been slowly goin' downhill. "The Massacre" was good though, a lot of dope songs in it, but nowhere near the first album. "Curtis" only had a few good songs and so did the last album.
I think he should buy the rights to his first unreleased album and release it.
-
Saying that the "East Coast supports a lot of wack rappers" is kind of false. Every region in the world supports wack music, not just the eastern part of the US.
But come to think about it I can't remember the last time I heard anyone on the east coast (more specifically New Yorkers) say anything positive about rappers. Wack or otherwise.
Like (using some of the names mentioned in this thread so far) the general consensus seems to be that A$ap Rocky sucks (both as a rapper and as a person), Meek Mill is an unknown who only 2 in every 2900000 people know about, Kanye West is a gay fish, Jay-Z and Nas are old niggers who make music for old niggers, etc...

even get rich or die trying was weak as fuck

Stop.

Stop.
everybody has an opinion, even when it dropped not EVERYBODY thought it was a classic, even in my 6th grade class there were people smart enough to know what "over-rated" and "over-hyped" meant... Muhfukka only fucks with that West West anyhow lol
-
the east coast needs to support Jay Z less and support underground veterans like MF Doom, Ill Bill, Goretex Supercoven and Roc Marciano more.
-
I like the new track.

Not near his old records tho. But i take this track easily over any Jay-z track. Thats becouse 50 is way more chilled than any other east coast rapper - i dont give a fuck if he spit complicated technical verses or not. He could choose more classy beats tho.
