50 cent concert in Ahoy on may the 15th is cancelled due to lack of interest by the dutch public. The sale of tickets was the reason to cancel it.
50 cent is done in Europe
-
50 Cent has been irrelevant in England for years now, nice to see the rest of Europe are catching.
He was always fucking gash anyway.
-
his career is either going to be dead on a popular level or he's going to have to revitalise it.
-
there is no way he is revitalising his career. he is finished, and it is his own fault
-
Damn, his career is going downhill fast. Who could've imagine that a couple of years ago ?
-
dude is hardly gonna be finished anytime soon, he is the one of the biggest dudes in the industry. he delivered some great music and still is delivering *bumps you should be dead snippet*
-
Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
-
dude is hardly gonna be finished anytime soon, he is the one of the biggest dudes in the industry. he delivered some great music and still is delivering *bumps you should be dead snippet*
he WAS one of the biggest dudes in the industry
his brand is completey irrelevant right now. he wore himself out with petty beefs and shitty albums, and his movie career is going nowhere fast
-
50 can't go on tour by himself; he needs Eminem to draw the masses.

the rise and fall of 50 cent
Yes. I find it sad though that this happened to him, because nobody could touch G.Unit back when he had the torch, When 50/Gunit/Banks/Game dropped.
This is what happens when Coca Cola buys your beverage. you get filthy rich, get distracted by the money, and then poof, reality check, your tickets arent selling...
As it was mentioned earlier, who could have thought, 5-6 years ago, that this would happen to 50. I hope other rappers learn from this .. if not, we're gonna be stuck with a whole lot of Waka flocka falmes and gucci men all over the place .
The only possibility i see, is that if his new home (he's leaving Interscope,right ?) allows him to have more songs like ''You should be dead'' and less candyrap songs. Candyrap works for some artists, not for 50.
-
a part of 50 cent is candy crap

That part of him needs to die, maybe then, his creative side will come back out. if not, he's done.

I dont think 50 will have a new home after this, no label would WANT to sign him as he has no buzz. and he doesnt need anymore songs like ''You should be dead''. Thats why he fell off in the first place - regurgatating the same shit over and over again
-
I usually start to feel bad for artist when their careers start to fall, but I'm enjoying every second of this. Maybe he'll shut his big ass mouth now. And thank God that means no more dick suckin on radio from Whoo Kid and Yayo!

Love your posts man ;D
-
isn't he charging something like £40 a ticket on his tour, im sure one of my mates said thats the price for his manchester show
-
dunno he still managing to put on a show in the uk. Tbh he needs to switch up his image which i think he'll do for his next album
-
50 been done since before curtis....
-
I remember reading how ja's concerts were getting cancelled, dude fell off. Now it's happening to 50.
-

Gimme a break with that shit! No label? I doubt that.
Problem is the people needed to see 50 admit defeat and he's never given them that. As a rule, they build you up so they can watch you fall but 50's never been that guy. Truthfully, that's why I actually cheer for the guy. Will G-Unit ever be as big as it was when it was the top brand at Interscope? No, but where else can you go but down after that? I would't say the Ja comparison is valid either. 50 should have been done when Game jumped ship and did the G-Unot campaign but he still kept selling. His decline has been far more gradual. And he's still making plenty of money so what can you say really?
-
yeah but jimmy you cant deny his downfall not jus sales but the quality of muzik the label problems
everythin plays a role
if he repackaged his power of the dollar album and tried sellin it today it prolly sell more than curtis and bisd cuz that was the dope 50 and the dopest 50
-
lol he sucks!!!
-
The reason I like to see this happening is because 50 was all out there ragging on every other artist, got angry at Game just coz he didnt wanna join his petty beef with D-Block Fat Joe and Nas.
I mean lucky dude has made his mega millions and probably has enough (unless he blows it all) to never worry about anything again), he was smart in that aspect that he got what he could get while he could.
But he sorta Ja Ruled himself over sanitized the market. And like Ja Rule, he'll never man up and admit defeat, thus lack of sympathy from public and fans to build a come back.
Eminem at least displays his vulnerability's which i think helps him as an artist. Even Game to an extent
-
I honestly don't think his recent product is any worse than Massacre which was a dope album, minus a few cuts like candy shop. I do agree that he needs to switch up his image, advance past gangsta, and his sound, explore a deeper side that he's afraid the public will reject (which is an odd analysis by him because the public loved Hate It or Love It which was personal and people want the full version of They Burn me).
I don't think 50's career can't be revitalised. The damage that's been done isn't any worse than what Jay-Z was put through with Nas. He just needs an adopted sound and keep it moving.
I also don't think he should have alienated Kanye West & Jay-Z because I could have easily seen them running shit but instead he did and Kanye jumped ship to the South.
But, by some of the posters comments, the trite but true statement stands people just love to hate on 50 Cent.
People say BISD sounds dated but if you listen to it and if you listen to how he's always talked about the album, it's supposed to sound this way. He always marketed it as the album before Get Rich or Dying in atmosphere and content. It's an artistic choice. Is that hard to understand? It obviously was a poor one made from a commercial perspective.
The critics say he should go back to Power of the Dollar days yet they'll criticise him when he spits gangsta. Y'all just come off as haters who have never like 50 cent's music.
Edit:
I also agree with some of the posts about him beefing too much. He's got too much hate for other folks caking up. He needs to let loose and cake up with them. You can't always be on top and you'd think someone like 50 would know this.
-
lol @ hatin 50....so when we listenin to power of the dollar and old 50 we arent haters but when we say bisd is wack and curtis is wack and t.o.s is wack we are haters
gtfoh wit that shit
50 changed dramatically gangsta or not
and how long is they burn me posed to be?

Yeah, but it's not wack. It might not be the same quality as Power of the Dollar though I would argue the beats are superior despite his lyrics aren't being number one. His flow is still on point even if he isn't as raw sounding.
When I hear someone call something wack I put it into perspective of \the whole spectrum of hip-hop. If 50's BISD is wack what is solja boy? What's flocka flocka?
Is it in ways a step down from his past efforts? Yes, in ways.
It is repeating same ground? Yeah, it is.
Is it wack? No.
Wack = unlistenable, so bad, off flow, poor lyrics straight ass music
-
to each is own but bisd is not lsitenable...maybe 1 song but thats terrible for such a big time artist
curits maybe a lil better but still not as good as anyone and everyone expected so it was a huge letdown
his mixtapes were much...MUCH BETTER THAN BOTH THOSE ALBUMS
he wants freedom, he hates the jews runnin the companies and tellin him what to do or how to make muzik
sides i dont care cuz im not buyin wack muzik and ill take all the dope stuff he makes
but he hasnt been dope for years on the retail market
so yeah it is wack, maybe not to you and everyone around southside,n 106 n park (as if they mean anythin to this world) many agree that its wack and many agree that hes been wack
edit***and wack flacka and gucci are much worse than 50 period....but thats sides the point
so id take power of the dollar over curtis, bisd and anythin wacka and gucci will ever do
bottomline it comes back to dope muzik...so you see where we come back to...when he was dope

I don't think the sales are reflective of the music quality though. BISD is probably his best album in awhile but it definitely wasn't his best-selling.
I doubt "Power of the Dollar" would sell. His upcoming "Greatest Hits" will do numbers because it's what the public is familiar with but "Power"? I don't think so.

No, we're just music fans that track artists in the genre we like, if Power of the Dollar is cool than we like, if Curtis sucks dick, we don't. That's not being a "hater", that's NOT being a dickrider and supporting whatever bullshit one artists puts out because we like their album from 7 years ago.

Yeah, we just disagree on what's good and what's not which is fine. There's not much more else to say about it.

That happens all the time in the netherlands.
Wayne's show was delayed like 4 times because of a lack of ticket sales.
-
50 Cent has been irrelevant in England for years now, nice to see the rest of Europe are catching.
He was always fucking gash anyway.
I wouldnt say that, his pre aftermath stuff power of the dollar and the mixtapes were all good.
Get Rich Or Trying was a great album for what it was but once he had those big hits all he tried to do was replicate them. He also over saturated the market and everyone got bored, i thought massacre and curtis were straight garbage but enjoyed before i self destruct.
-
aite cool....at least this time you were a polite gangsta and not wit that this duke is wack or dont know muzik....
its like dogg i was listenin to this artist years before and i still listen to those same songs i was listenin to.....how is that a hater? lol
thats waz up action....good approach

wayne is wack 2 so that doesnt mean shit
-
People saying 50 irrelevant in England but he's performing at the O2, had a top 40 single and his album was top 20 or something. Hardly irrelevant. If Game manages that then i'd be surprised.

A top 40 single (something anyone cna get if they shift about 1000 downloads these days), a top 20 album (considering he used to get top 3 albums is awful, and I would actually disagree with this, I don't think BISD even made top 20) and ONE CONCERT at a random arena is not relevance. FFS Simply Red get gigs at the O2 and probably would sell more records and thats an 80s band fronted by a ginger pleb.
No-one cares or has cared about 50Cent in the UK really since Get Rich Or Die Tryin and The Massacre. After those two he's had no success.
-
real talk 13th duke....people dont want to admit it aswell as 50....lol
-
Man, the hate on this dude is something serious. if he loose a dollar, gossip spread he going broke, he leaves Interscope they say he get dropped, now tickets for one venue canceled now "it's over".
Funny, how now onw pay attention to Beyonce who had many show cancelled, MJ, had show cancelled, Janet Jackson allin recent time and dude to low ticket sales, but cause it's 50 it's a catastrophe now. lol
Mediatakeouy is the worst place to get rumors from for one, yet if true this is a very common thing yet they make it an event cause it's 50. SMH
Ok, so what about the huge show he had a t Le Zenith the other night? That place is like MSG to PAris, HUGE venure and he packe dit out. So can we reverse and say his career is the biggest cause he did that? SMH!
Dude got tons of show line up and one got cancelled means his career is over.
Keep getting rumors form Mediatajkeout, the same people who litterally make up stuff for gossip purpose.
-
I still enjoy music by 50 cent that he drops,its not as good as it used to be but to call it wack is just hating.Before I self destruct wasnt a great album but it was klike 7 out of 10.It just fell off towards the end oif it.
I stand by statement that 50 destroyed his own career when he dropped candy shop and just a lil bit as his singles.People loved his image and music.His statements that he was sick of ja rule and bubble gum rap.But then he turns around and releases the same music.He destroyed his own image.He thought he was being smart and adding an extra middle finger to ja rule by not only ruining his career but by turning around and making ja rules music.In reality all he did was destroy everything he built up and his career was never the same.

I heard 50 will be doing baby showers and bar mitzvahs now.

thats the only thing thatll make him money...so what not much choice....haha

It's always hard discussing music with other people when you like a product of an artist but the other person doesn't.
I agree that this isn't Banks strongest but I don't think it's wretched. Banks should be putting our something more dangerous though. I'm still waiting for the full version of 80's Baby.
-
I like the track and I like Juelz.

Man, the hate on this dude is something serious. if he loose a dollar, gossip spread he going broke, he leaves Interscope they say he get dropped, now tickets for one venue canceled now "it's over".

Not at all. There are plenty of great artists that are on the pulse as far as the culture goes and 50 is sadly out of the loop.
