- His album had less success then Rick Ross' ''Deeper than Rap''
- Dr. Dre is working with The Game again
- Eminem is fuckin with Lil Wayne
- Hi perfume is a big flop (at least compared to Diddy's stuff)
- Jay didn't respond to him
- Much more...
(please don't say ''at least he's got money'' or ''he's a very successful businessman'' because that has nothing to do with the question and is just a way to deviate from it)
-
at least hes got mucho money.
-
lol 50 is straight entertainment
best song: position of power
-
It's really time for 50 to fall back for a while.
-
he's a very successful businessman

(please don't say ''at least he's got money'' or ''he's a very successful businessman'' because that has nothing to do with the question and is just a way to deviate from it)
which question are you referring to?
-
do you think this guy is really in it for the love of hip-hop...nah i think hes in it to be a successful businessman or to get alot of money
and he achieved it
the guy is a walking contradiction
-
so what your making fun of him cause he's small time and needs a chef to cook for him. Sure buddy keep on makin fun of him. Delete this thread

Well, it seems that his career as a successful rapper is coming to an end, so there's a few options available..
1. Become a business-man, put his name on various items and make investments in various companies.
2. Pursue a movie-career, advance from the lukewarm C-movies he starred in so far.
3. Run a record-label and sign/promote artists.
4. Kick back and chill with the $400 mill he made off that vitamin water deal.
5. Continue to rap, claiming that "sales isn't that important" any more.
6. All of the above, aspiring for that "mogul" title, while being a total media whore.
My money is on option 6, and it seems most of this fits on Snoop as well.

After listening to power of a dollar,guess whos back,the 8 mile soundtrack and get rich or die tryin this weekend,all I want to know is,what happened to THAT guy.How to rob was one the more genius tracks in hip hop in a long time.Be a gentlemen makes me wish jay and 50 actually went at it,that was a very clever diss track towards jay.
-
Jome, I agree with you. If 50 plays his cards right he can do all 5 of those while being respected. He needs to take some time off from his personal career - start building up G-Unit again and focusing on new talent. He should keep recording but with the intent of selecting the best of his work. He shouldn't be releasing free tapes any more, just albums. Meanwhile his film career can be hustled up straight if he keeps improving. Honestly, his focus seems to be split apart too much. He needs to takes some time off from his music while he works on the films.

every album hes gotten worse and worse and as he continues to make each album he keeps sayin each album is better when he hasnt made a dope album since beg for mercy where a majority of the album has been dope

I would choose option 4... But most people would never do, because they are greedy bastards and attention whores. I could easily live without the 'fame'.
But 50, 50 would choose option 6 indeed.

how much did it sell by now?

i'm curious of that greatest hits release
-
Hopefull he's gonna fall back and just concentrate on making good music, he said he's only doing one more mixtape which is a good idea, cos his mixtapes are dope but then people hate on the albums cos the mixtapes were ill. Either way, I just want to see Banks get push and some backing by dope NY producers
-
all these old rappers that put out albums tryna keep up wit the new trend is completely embarrasing and hard to watch. i honestly dont think 50 should make a new album itll just tarnish his career. im not a big 50 fan, but same thing wit MJ its for the love of the game, but y come back and mess up your stats/career. y put out an album when u cant go double plat like u did before. it just makes you loook like a has been.
-
Stats?
You are on some bullshit.

Looking at all these old West Coast rappers, I have to agree.

50 cent died in 1987
50 cent is not a business-man, he is an music-artist

lol, his mixtapes are just like his albums
-
His mixtapes are on some grimey street shit, back in the day they were about flipping whatever was hot and making the shit 10x better. I think Fif needs Sha Money XL back in his corner, he's got a dope ear for beats and beat makers
-

Is that why hes made more money in business then music?
-
Jaydc made the best point.
when 50 Cent puts put that poppy shit, you guys bitch & want that old grimey street shit.
he gives you the street shit & then you bitch that he doesn't even go near the hood anymore.
it's as if you guys just woke up a day after The Massacre dropped & said, "well, i officially hate this Curtis Jackson fellow".
-
but cham hi last 2 albums for sure have been str8 wack even most of massacre he makin the overrated rapper jay-z sound good and look good when jay aint all that

Curtis was poor, but it had a few tracks on it.
i was feelin' Before I Self Destruct.
it's just the principal that it doesn't matter what he puts out, it will be shitted on, until the end of time. :P
-
I thought Massacre was ok. After that, he went downhill fast. Lost his hunger for hip-hop and solely tried to create music that could commercially make him money. Now he's feeling the effect. Doubt he cares though because he did what he intended to do, which was to become wealthy.
-
Do you all actually believe Before I Self Destruct was made for sole commercial reasons?
You all misunderstand him. If he made music for sole commercial reasons he would have hopped on every fad and gimmick there is. He admittedly tried auto-tune but recognised it wasn't who he was an artists (one or two T.O.S tracks) and returned to who he wanted to be (Before I Self Destruct). The man makes money off the things he wants to do but that isn't the only reason he makes music. He's got a love for hip-hop even if all you see is him making the dough from it.
-

u answered ur own question haha

Even if he's got love for hip-hop, I sincerely think that he fell off and that his last 2 albums are bad. He had a way to sing but rap at the same time on the choruses that was very catchy and melodic. IMO, that's why this guy's rich. He's a good businessman that once knew how to write a catchy hook.
The perfect example is ''OK you're right''. Those 'yea', 'no','no'...... WACK

Got alotta time for you bro!

but if he puts out a dope product it will be shitted on by the minority aka haters lol
but if he puts out another get rich or die tryin....aite close to that and only thing close to that is beg for mercy then hes good but he hasnt but he keeps on claimin after every album that its his best album'
forget sales....the product itself is wack
this bisd album is some of the worst ART ever put together and whats sad it was put together by someone who thinks hes the dopest rapper to ever live, or livin etc...
hes the interscope bitch when it used to be the other way around
but cham hi last 2 albums for sure have been str8 wack even most of massacre he makin the overrated rapper jay-z sound good and look good when jay aint all that

What people fail to realise is 50 has achived more in his 6 or so years in the game then most rappers who have been active 15 or so years. If thats falling off then i bet these rappers wish they were falling left right and centre!!

damn real talk wicked

and dont mention him gettin bought out by coca cola for 100 million dollars

How is that not a successful business move? He saw a company starting out that represented Curtis Jacksons values (healthy living, going to the gym, staying fit etc), represented the product through his own brand, and instead of asking for a lump sum, he asked for shares in the company as his payment, everything about that move is pure business, from the ethics behind it to the push he gave it to the fact he chose an investment over a quick buck...
Fact is, he worked the g unit brand to the fullest when he was on top, successful shoes, clothing line, movie, video game and he helped make 3 new rappers go Platinum, and one gold. Fif capitalised on the movement he created in every way possible, denying he is a smart businessman is plain ignorant...
-
I wouldn't call him a great businessman. He took great advantage of his buzz back in 03, there's no denying that but as soon as that went away, all his business ventures started flopping too. Because that's when you can tell if he is business savvy, it's it's easy to make deals, especially for him in 03 when he was on top of the music industry, deal offers must have been flying left and right. Other than that Vitamin Water deal, which was basically more luck than common sense, 50 has been taking on L after another since 06 (music and business wise).
-
Then there's THISIS50.COM revenue and his youtube deal where he makes a percentage of money off every video involving 50 Cent.
-

get the facts rights, he invested in Glaceau,bought 10% of it, they used his name 2 sell even more water 3 years later coca cola comes in
if he was so smart why didnt invest more then 10%
I googled this India's Tata Tea Ltd. (TTTE.BO), which last year bought a 30 percent stake in Glaceau for $677 million, said on Friday it would receive about $1.2 billion, nearly doubling its investment, now thats a buisiness move
Fif capitalised on the movement he created in every way possible, denying he is a smart businessman is plain ignorant...
oke, u remember wu tang with wu wear,movies,videogames, made i dont know how many Platinum and i dont know how many gold so u would say that Rza or any from the wu tang is a smart buisiness man, NO
not ignorant....
-
u can walk 2 a bank with a load of money, pay some people 2 look after your money, let them do the invests, u pay them a percentage and u makin profit
-
so yeah, i wonder how 50 Cent feels...

RZA was a smart businessman, most of the Wu weren't. That's why there is issues

he need to step outta game for a while...
