Title: 50 cent? Reggaeton?
Post by: mikeymcee on August 13, 2009, 11:16:20 AM
50 cent did a track with a reggaeton group called Wisin y Yandel called “Asi Soy”… apparently they did a video for it too…have you guys heard of this?! 50 is one of my fav rappers of all time, when I heard it was skeptical, but the song is actually really good… it has more of a hip-hop vibe… http://www.myspace.com/wisinyyandel ...the video for the song is on their page

50's been hell of quiet lately.   I wonder how what marketing scheme he's planning to pitch BISD on now.  We all know for damn sure he's going to release a new single.

What about some straight up street shit? Get back to his roots? I Get Money worked for him last time and I wouldn't call that a club track

Whatever it is, I'm not sure how much it matters unless it's out of this world on several levels.

First, the beat has to be.
Second, the chorus has to be.
Third, the verses have to be at least decent.
Fourth, it's got to feel genuine.

It seems 50 done got so caught up in the marketing part that he forgot to make dope personal music.  Kid can still spit but eh, whatever.  I'm a download his shit and bump it just like I did Curtis.

His music isn't that bad, it's just not that great.  50 and Banks get too much unnecessary hate.  It's the cool thing to hate G-Unit.

yeah, but it was a different spin off; look at his biggest singles.

In Da Club - the standard for club bangers.
Candyshop - first unreal selling bitch track.
I Get Money - rappin' about his bucks.

he HAS to use one of the three & i would guess that it's going to be a mix of Candyshop & I Get Money, with a In Da Club type beat.

i want some grimey shit, but all you have to do is check the Slaughterhouse sales & he was turned off to that idea lol.

I dunno, Wanksta is what got his shit poppin in the first place, he needs to drop a grimey street single, then follow up with the club banger

Yeah no doubt, I openly support G Unit, especially Banks and Fif. I actually own every album ever dropped by G Unit, except Curtis, the girlfriend copped that one lol...

Nah Curtis had some bangers, it was just rushed and mixed horribly. He's taken his time on this one, I'm expecting something above the Massacre (a very underated album) and almost as good as Get Rich...

War Angel proved that he does

War Angel proved that he does

no doubt, i was lovin' Forever King even more; but nothing off either of those two discs would become a successful single.

the game is all singles now; Wayne had 3 MAJOR singles, like BEYOND major & sold a millie for each one lol.

Drake should have dropped whatever album he is planning on dropping when Successful & Best I Ever Had were still on top of the world; they still aren't far off the top, but he missed an opprotunity to sell HUGE! :o

50 has to sell out if he wants big numbers or come up with something so creative it works; i just hope it's better than what we've heard. 8)
Title: Re: 50 cent? Reggaeton?
Post by: A1 on August 14, 2009, 12:43:29 AM
I dont care if he doesnt do big numbers i just want the quality of music to be gud. Definatly along the lines of his last few releases. That respect it or check it is one of his best tracks since GRODT i think, his flow, lyrics and swagger on the track are on point. Also some of the tracks on war angel are grimey as fuck. Talking in codes, get the message etc. The production on that was excellent and 50 stepped his pen game up on it. "die nigga die fly pelican fly/when i pull it eat a bullet dont question me why"

He just needs to leave the corny shit out like london girl and ill do anything.

Title: Re: 50 cent? Reggaeton?
Post by: Chamillitary Click on August 14, 2009, 12:48:52 AM
^i agree, but i'm sure 50 Cent doesn't.

he is one of the largest names in mainstream rap, he NEEDS to sell records; he brags in his music about selling records.

if he has to sell out on one song that will add 250K buyers, he will do it in a heart beat.

but i expect "hood" music for the most part on his album.

Yeah your right he would.

I think it will be more war angel...ish lol. Id be happy with that. Youve got to expect the standard girley tracks nowadays though.

As i say as long as the production tight, his lyrics are on point then id be happy.

Plus im looking forward to seeing the film hes releasing with the album if thats still happening.
Title: Re: 50 cent? Reggaeton?
Post by: Chamillitary Click on August 14, 2009, 01:15:44 AM
the production is what really got me a little extra hyped about this.

Dre did not disappoint in the slightest on Relapse & Em doesn't need bangers to spit over.

imagine the bangers Dre has for Fif'! :o
Title: Re: 50 cent? Reggaeton?
Post by: A1 on August 14, 2009, 02:44:38 AM
yeah definatly and to tell you the truth allot of the tracks on relapse i could see fif spitting over as appose to em!! Like medicine ball, fif would have killed that.
Title: Re: 50 cent? Reggaeton?

he won't be able to drop an album this year: i've stated it before.
the funny thing is, he was dissing artists that were signed to koch, yet his 5 minutes of fame are over

you guys missed the point: he isn't very popular anymore.
2 years ago, 50 cent stated that he would destroy Kanye with the first week sales, but it didn't happen.
even though 50 cent could still do decent numbers in 2009, he will still be a huge flop, according to his own logic.

Post by: dubsmith_nz on August 17, 2009, 03:07:29 PM
Yeah but terming it "5 Minutes" of fame is understating his previous influence hugely. I predict 50 to do about 500k first week, and hopefully hit platinum, he needs a major single though

I don't agree with that statement.

I bet Drake is going to sell a decent amount.  Even CuDi is going to do aiight numbers.

There's clearly popular artists like Gucci Man.

Drakes got no buzz anywhere here in New Zealand, neither does Gucci. There's few Superstars that can still sell all around the world, and Lil Wayne doesn't have enough influence to push another superstar in my opinion... I think Cudi could definintely blow around the world, his music is pretty universal, and "Day N Night" still gets burn over here

I didn't know you were speaking on the world stage.  Most artist never hit that big.  I was thinking the United States which is where I'm from.  CuDi is making strong waves in the U.S and Drake has been for the past month or so off a street tape; I refuse to call it a mixtape because it's not.  I assume Drake has his Canada area locked down but I don't know because I'm not from there.

I'm convinced the only reason 50 was able to hit markets across was the world was due to Scott Storch's production on the Massacre.  The Indian sound connected with a lot of folks.  Additionally, Eminem cosigned him when he (Eminem) was the hottest out.  The only reason Eminem was able to because he's a white man that could ACTUALLY rap.

Reflecting artists on a world stage is another whole perspective and makes for an interesting discussion.  I don't think most even try to set themselves up to break through on that level.  It was odd to me that Bobby Creekwater is in Japan performing.  I didn't even know he had fans there.
Title: Re: 50 cent? Reggaeton?
Post by: dubsmith_nz on August 17, 2009, 11:02:51 PM
50 was huge before the Massacre, Get Rich sold 11 million world wide. And yeah, a lot of artists do perform world wide, but its usually smaller clubs etc. Japan is pretty into their hip hop, even local New Zealand rappers get sold out shows out their. But yeah on an international level it's completely different to National. Drake definitely got it locked in the U.S., be interesting to see how his career goes...

maybe you've been living under a rock, cause there are definitely artists that are more popular than 50 cent right now.
