..his album leaks and then pretty much flops, especially after us being told that it was his best album since GRODT. And now it looks like Game is going to get one over on him by having very good sales of the R.E.D album. I mean, 50 has got to be pissed right? Not only has Dre welcomed Game back into the studio but this shit is all over the Internet, pictures on twitter etc. If I was 50 now I would be sitting at home thinking "shit, what the fuck happened to me man".
-
Really? 50 just invested in a diamond mine in South Africa. I'm sure he really doesn't give a fuck as much as it's played out to be. And, if he does, he might be motivated to make some doper music. He's always been about the money. How many artists say I'm a get rich in 5 years and actually do it?
Don't get me wrong I also wonder his opinion. If anything I'm sure he's never really liked Dr.Dre.
-
Don't forget about Eminem working with Wayne & Drake and performing with them on Grammys (after 50 said Em didn't like the "mix" lol) and how about Lil Wayne's terrible experimental album that leaked 2 months before the release date, selling more than BISD. 50 has been pretty much taking one L after another since 06, minus Vitamin Water.
-
If anything Eminem working with his "enemies' and Wayne outselling him would probably phase him more than Dre.
-
shit...Games leaked track are worst then BISD wack tracks ???
-
Game and Dre reunion
Dre working with Ashanti
Eminem working with Lil Wayne
Dre trying to sign Shyne
50 is definitely better off staying out of the public eye. And it all started with him trying to beef with Kanye, you don't fuck with Mr. West.

Rebirth hasnt sold more than BISD, where you getting your info
-
Not in total yet. But he outsold him on the first (176k vs. 160k) and second week (90k vs. 66k)
-
wassup wit' people saying 50 flopped with BISD, y'all r still talking about it to this day and from what i've seen the album gets mixed reviews but mainly on the positive side. That new video "Do U Think About Me" is pretty tite, especially with Vivica in it lol. In my eyes 50 and the BISD album are in a pretty good position, you realize this nigga's been in the game for 10+ years now right.
-
I don't think 50 really cares. He know his money games tight. Iwould not be suprised to se him retire from rap soon.

Check this man!
-
I doubt 50 will ever really retire from releasing music. I just don't think we'll ever see him hustle hip-hop like he did when it was the only thing going for him.
-
I doubt 50 cares, he's got his money and it's obvious he doesn't care anymore, he's done what he wanted to do, dropped an album which is arguably a classic, had a more than successful record label, own clothing company, worked with two of hip-hops greats and he made like a shitload of money off of Vitamin water, i'm sure he couldn't care less about what Eminem/ Wayne/ Game does, why would he?
-
oh 50 will def be pisseddd at dre...i remember someone asking him about how he felt about dre working with game and he basically interrupted the question before it even finished and was like 'dre can work with whoever he wants' but in a real way that looked like he'd been effected.
im sure he has. 50 drops bisd, all he ever boasts about was album sales and shit and that shits a major flop for a cat of his stature and now he is seeing game back in the booth with dre AND pharrel and to top it off, gets back with aftermath! Only an idiot/groupie would think that shit wont be playing on his mind!
BUT the fact he keeps himself busy with his movies atm and whatever he does, will keep him not thinking of it too much, because when u active, u aint got time to think tooo much about things all the time. or atleast it takes your mind off shit.
Plus the fact his a rich muthafucker might help a lil ;-)

The only reason one might assume he cared what Eminem does is if he views him in the same light as his grandma (a person that he owes and will forever be indebted too) and there was a lot of PR about how strong of a team Aftermath/Shady was. Yet, that's the past and it's clear today a lot of it was marketing.
Currently, 50's major downfall or problem as an artist was beefing too much. He should've stayed cool enough with Jay-Z and Kanye West to have a working relationship. And, the rick ross fiasco was a huge joke. Finally, his beef with Iovine clearly disrupted his hip-hop more than anything but the way I figure is 50's contract under interscope/shady/aftermath is probably producing less money for him than it is for interscope.

yup i think he is RIAA gold certified or something, the company which doesnt go by how many you have sold, but how many have been shipped...basically 500k or more of his cd have been shipped but he hasnt actually sold that many records yet. Shocking sales for 50

I'll start off with:
Jim Jones - Hustlers Pome
DJ Khaled - We The best

50 should just stick to making straight-to-DVD movies.

stupid question 101s
asking who cares when posts exists
-

I'll start off with:
Jim Jones - Hustlers Pome
DJ Khaled - We The best
LOL, this is after 50 Cent dissed Khaled (for no reason other than him being associated with Ross) saying that when he flopped its "We Depressed". Lol yet that suposed flop sold more than his album. Just deserts for 50. His ego got way too big
-
personally though BISD was 50's best album after GRODT.
-
lol
i know you wanna be a lil hater and say poor 50 so bad but he takes a shit all over critics even pro ones doing tv interviews on him
-
Game needs to do what he do and 50 needs to do what he do, but they both need to move the fuck on! Dre and em and iovine should have never backed one with out backing the other one in the first place. they should have stayed neutral. 50 need to let niggaz that dont want to be on his label out so they can do what they need to do. Buck need to pay 50 back also, and he wants his own lane and needs it. yayo and banks want to continue to be employees so let them do them. All them other niggaz thats afilliated with 50 that he aint fuckin wit need to move on and get they own lane as well!

How long ago did those albums come out, I wouldnt be surrised if 50 and The Units total sales equalled more than the whole Koch catalogue

+1, truth
-

What goes up must come down.
Just like how Ja Rule's run in the game was falling when 50 was rising, and now 50 cant sell units even with the unbelievable amount of money and hype put behind his projects.
-
wassup wit' people saying 50 flopped with BISD, y'all r still talking about it to this day and from what i've seen the album gets mixed reviews but mainly on the positive side. That new video "Do U Think About Me" is pretty tite, especially with Vivica in it lol. In my eyes 50 and the BISD album are in a pretty good position, you realize this nigga's been in the game for 10+ years now right.
Ok couple of things here, first, 50 is the sole reason why people judge artist based on their record sales so I don't feel sorry now that he's taking a dose of his own medicine.
If you like "Do You Think About Me" then you have a freshly shaved vagina between your legs.
Its not fair to say he's been in the game 10 years. His debut album dropped in 03. If were going to include the grinding years then you have to add a lot of years to every artist.

He was a figure in the industry when How To Robb dropped though

im from south africa, trust me 50 does NOT have an investment in a diamond mine here !!!!
-

y, bcuz 50 is talking about man's favorite subject.... (*women*). the beat is smooth and the STORY he's telling is good. it's doesn't sound completely like everything else out there. truthfully (and this isn't just a jab at u only) but males who always have this super hate bias towards tracks like that whether it's "bedrock" or "say ahhh" just don't get pussy. being a bad song and being a listenable song are TWO DIFFERENT things. people always confuse the two. "do you think about me" is definitely listenable, if u would actually listen to the song and what the nigga's sayin.
-
game will prolly have better sales, but does that mean its a better album?
album sounds wack so far
-
true.
i'm just saying, that i don't see Game go platinum easily (worldwide is possible)
No such thing as platinum worldwide
im from south africa, trust me 50 does NOT have an investment in a diamond mine here !!!!
Just because you're from there doesn't mean you know everything that goes on in the entire fucking country...
-

no, because GangstaBoogy is a notorious Game fan. :P :D
-
According to a recent edition of the source (might have been XXL) 50 just finished up the negotiations for the mine investment. Whether or not it's true I don't know.
-
course he cant admit it but he knows he lost wit bisd and other releases
game succeedin is his worst nightmare and he might destruct after-math
-
50 ain't trippen...he's fucken rich ;D

50's nervous bout games album best belee dat
anyone surpassin him is his worst nightmare
50 ain't trippen...he's fucken rich ;D

really? 50 seems to be past the whole Game thing, he seems to only use it when he wants the publicity, Game and his fans are the ones who don't seem to be able to write a paragraph without mentioning 50

so true. tha nigga crushed Ja Rule's career. Game just happened to win that perticular battle... what about everybody else 50's talked about... them niggaz ain't winnin' except Game & Jada (and Game's not even winnin' really, u c he's back with Aftermath, what was wrong with building the next DeathRow with BWS only, he's had time & talent). truthfully at this moment is 50's career it'd be pretty hard 4 him 2 fuck it up.
-
50 aitn past game and never will be....he jus dont talk on it as much but ask him bout him hell shrugg it off like...i won that N*gga....when he might own him contractually but theres a certain level of him ownin game and games sales vs 50's sales will hurt him
and dre workin wit game hurts him even more
he even said it on so disrespectful
game told me to suck dick
and dre aint say shit

Start screamin Westside and Dre ain’t said shit
I see that as more that Game was rolling for the Westside and Dre aint have his back like that cos it wasnt a Westcoast thing
-

I still don't think he really gives a fuck about Game, it's all a show and a big game for 50. If there's anyone he'll be pissed it's Interscope records. The people that are hindering from caking up the way he wants.
This video is a little over the top. Banks & Yayo bigging up Beamer, Benz, & Bentley a little bit too much for my liking. Dope track but it hasn't really made significant waves.
-
really wack song....50 should be embarrased for lettin them put that out
-
it's funny how niggas is tryin to stamp 50 wit an "L" across his forehead, like he's a loser or somethin. come on now..
the hiphopgame is basicaly about money - curtis jackson got plenty of it..
whatever he is "losing" at, gets outweighed completely by other venues. if his album doesn't do the same numbers as his first, it doesn't matter - cus money is gettin generated his way anyway -- and the hiphop-game is ALL about money/power for triple-a-acts like himself. so everything is fine.
curtis jackson is, together wit Puffy Combs, the biggest papergangster of all time in hiphop, and one of the biggest papergangsters in music period -- this guy studied the rap-game like a russian spy on a mission, since he came in 10'years ago and got richer/more powerful than everybody else in less than 5 years, since his debut came out in 03. he's the definition of "succesful" - and nobody has ever acchieved "king"/"godfather"-status in such a short period of time.
hate him/his music or love him/his music - but nobody can ever laugh at him, or call him "washed-up"/"loser" woot-woot -- he even knows it himself, dat is why he is such a fuckin prick to everybody. he's full of himself
Its not fair to say he's been in the game 10 years. His debut album dropped in 03. If were going to include the grinding years then you have to add a lot of years to every artist.
50 cent been in the game over 10 years. altho he was grindin back in the 90's, he was always known in the hiphop-community - specially in New York. He is the discovery of Jam Master Jay (of Run-DMC) and Poke & Tone of legendary production-squad The Trackmasters.. and musicaly, he is a product of the rap-group Onyx, since he ran wit 'em before he started G. Unit wit Bang 'Em Smurf..
he was featured on mainstream/retail-albums back in 1998, and was almost singned by Puffy at one point..
-
^50 Cent kind of addressed this in one of his songs;
http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/ZTEfInwgxVs
i don't think 50 Cent really cares what anybody thinks about him; he's got more money than everybody hating on him combined.
50's success is directly related with his hate; people have been waiting for 50 to fall, but what's fucked up is, besides Eminem, Jay-Z & Lil' Wayne, who else is as successful as they were in past years?
rapping is a failing profession if you're looking for a paycheck; times have changed.
listeners (purchasers), females esspecially have moved on & they don't want to see some big, gorilla, gangsta lookin' mother fucker; they want some averaged sized, good look (no homo), well dressed guy; like a Drake or some other R&B guys in the game.
it's just the times; but 50 Cent is far from taking an L or being a failure.
-
he isnt too far if he doesnt make dope muzik again cham
noone cares about his money but him which is how it should be
but what does his money have to do wit his muzik?
make dope muzik.....fans dont care bout money

I think no one pays attention to 50's words. Many thinks he be fronting. the boy says he makes more money outside music. End the story.
Would you rather they knock the BB or B? I mean they bigging up the song cause the crowd reaction was crazy to them, plus the song is big on the streets.
I think it's time we separate records that are big mainstream, big underground. It's big underground right now. it sold 38k on iTunes ALONE first week, no promo video. Some payola, videos and this single would be a certify hit. So i think Banks got all the right to amp the song considering the success.
-
No, it's moving pretty good for an "underground" track. My only real issue with G-Unit is their obvious hypocrisy. I enjoy the majority of their music and I'm often defending them on these forums. My issue today when I see them bigging up the independent route is compared to their past stance where all they did was talk shit about other artists who went the route they're going through now. They should just admit they're talking shit about people they don't like instead of trying to justify why they were once speaking ill on the non-major route.

what goes around, comes around ;)

Tbh compared to his previous high status 50s lost A LOT of relevance but compared to other rappers 50s still top 10 in popularity.
Name 10 rappers that could sell more than him. Maybe Nicki Minaj, maybe Luda.
-
Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye, Lil Wayne, T.I., Drake, Young Jeezy, Game, Ludacris, , Rick Ross, Nas...
-
Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye, Lil Wayne, T.I., Drake, Young Jeezy, Game, Ludacris, , Rick Ross, Nas...
You think Nas will sell more than 50? Same with Game?
I dunno depends on how big their singles are. If they both had a song that charted the same as Baby By Me i dont think theyd sell more than 50.
But even if they all were able to do 400k is 400k in nowadays climate irrelevant. If it is then shit 99% of rappers are irrelevant.
-
but 50 could sell more than those rappers....seems like scope pulled the plug
-
Just in reply to some people saying they respect 50 because he's 'got money', I really couldnt give a fuck how much money he has, all I know is his music is shit and has been for years so he's irrelevant to me. I don't spend money to listen to his bank statements, I spend it on music, and his music is quite frankly gash.

I hear you, but there were a specific context when they knock independent artist. it was time when that was needed, cats who had big hit yet had to resort to independency, Fat Joe/Lean Back etc...
The indy their praising is still not the route them dudes went, they doing it on their own, i mean did you know that Interscope was or still and independent label? That's the stance their taking, not a "let's go to Koch". 50 said in his book he's starting a freestanding label, he is being his own "Koch". That's not the same, but i do understand what you're saying, despite the context
Plus during the comptetition, they were in the better position, and now they can still claim to be in the better position, but lets see when Banks album come out this summer.

No, it's moving pretty good for an "underground" track. My only real issue with G-Unit is their obvious hypocrisy. I enjoy the majority of their music and I'm often defending them on these forums. My issue today when I see them bigging up the independent route is compared to their past stance where all they did was talk shit about other artists who went the route they're going through now. They should just admit they're talking shit about people they don't like instead of trying to justify why they were once speaking ill on the non-major route.

I too read the comment mentioned by Robert Green & Curtis Jackson in the 50th Law. I'm anticipating G-Unit to be transformed into an actual record label instead of an subsidiary. Without looking too much into the details it makes the most business sense. I imagine 50 Cent & G-Unit made very little money from the sales of any of the albums. The majority of it went to business people at Interscope. Yet, I still have issues with their slight contradictory positions they vocalized in the past and currently.
Like I mentioned I'm wondering if the reason 50 has been quiet if he's transforming G-Unit records into a label or if he's just views music as his personal hobby and a business venture destined to little capital profits or if he doesn't care and is just investing in movies.
