Music News: Damn Homie!!! 50 Cent LEAVES/DROPPED by Interscope/Shady/Aftermath

[Blu Diablo]

Distribution deal, global (vs US) market, and control over his material, and the label?

Fif wins, and not just wins, but wins BIG.

Ya'll dudes thinking in terms of domestic market artist and missing the entire picture.

 

[exiledking]

who's 50 cent?

 

[footluva]

less hands in the pot, more creative control. too bad his music sucks these days. hes lost his commercial and crossover appeal but he could do good independent

I concur

 

[World B Free]

Some of these clothes aren't bad.......Chiwetel's shirt isn't bad for the summer...

 

[POSTERBOY]

Dude better make peace with Game or Ja Rule to get any sort of buzz, because Buck and Fat Joe didn't do it.

Right now, 50 is just a good interview.



Interscope didn't even want to drop his last album and let him leave...that tells you something.

Remember the last album he's owed them the past three years

you're free to read into it anyway you'd like, he wasn't dropped, which is what I read in the title and called into question.

 

[footluva]

Everyone has their time and then its gone, it happens to most major artist who make it. Take another entertainer for instance, Kevin Hart is on fire right now but it will come to an end eventually. It happens! He invested well and is filthy rich, not all artist can say that.

Like biggie said get your money today because tomorrow they might not like you...or something like that lol

 

[Race Harley]

Doesn't make a difference... 50 now isn't the same artist he was when he was "hungry". Now it's about how much more he can make, making music over nonsense and jibberish.

He'd be better off finding the next up-&-comer than to make music for sales sake.

 

[Lapdanceking]

Power move,

what does he need a label for he has a video company, money and media outlets.

People still pay top dollar over sees to see him.

 

[ballscout1]

Does he own his publishing and masters ?

 

[footluva]

who's 50 cent?

Right lmmfao!!!

Yup

VALLEY OF DEATH

That was his downfall. He caught a hot ass Rick Ross and never recovered

 

[BKF]

As if the music coming out today is on some other level.

 

[BKF]

he had his time, he got his money, let it go 50

Now this is just as stupid as folks saying that older rap artist like Jay should step aside and let the yungin make money. Why the fuck should he stop if he's making money.

 

[Gully]

So Camron was right, and Ross killed his music career.

 

[xxironxx]

he had his time, he got his money, let it go 50

Basically

 

[exiledking]

Now this is just as stupid as folks saying that older rap artist like Jay should step aside and let the yungin make money. Why the fuck should he stop if he's making money.

are you seriously comparing the career of Jay Z, who remains hot, and just sold a million before the shit came out, another million afterwards, doing the hottest tours , and still requested to be featured on the biggest records...


To a guy who hasn't released anything but free shit in years,can't even give those away, and who Schoolboy Q just decided not to put the record he's on, on his album?


Dude is not Jay Z, stop it. He's over.

So Camron was right, and Ross killed his music career.

hurts people to admit it, and I said it from the start.

And people thought I was crazy back then

 

[xxironxx]

Now this is just as stupid as folks saying that older rap artist like Jay should step aside and let the yungin make money. Why the fuck should he stop if he's making money.

Sure he's making money, some way. But he ain't dropped a hot cd n years. His music Ain't even been worth downloading

funny how life is.

I read the title and thought of this interview. I remember he was shitting on artist who were signed to Koch or that were independent.

Funny how life is

VALLEY OF DEATH

Ross hasn't sold the same since his beef with.....so who really lost?

 

[exiledking]

you have to be trolling sating some shit like that


2 MMG albums, 2 Wale albums, Meek Mill, 2 or 3 Rawse albums, a ton of features on French Montana, DJ Khaled, Jay Z, Drake,Kanye, Rocko, and a few other #1 selling singles, and you really think Ross went down during that whole fiasco?

He did nothing but PROSPER after that 50 cent shit

 

[DigitalMethods]

Its funny but its a smart move to just go independent today.

Sure 50 has money but he obviously cares about his music career.

Some of you guys forget that music is art and is fun to do.

 

[Flawless]

his music career is over, starting beef with someone to sell records is played out and whack now. If it wasn't for that vitamin water deal he would probably be broke by now

You really want to compare the rap career of 50 Cent to Jay Z?

[Zyin]

in this climate he will do gold
with this deal he might make platinum money going gold

 

[flexxx71]

his name and brand is established(even tho its not what it use to be) so going independent is smart cause he don't have to sell a shit load of records to make bread, i think he been planning on this for yrs

true but he was getting on other folks for going independent..... The truth is numbers don't lie. A rappers career is about as long as a basketball player expespecially on a large label.

No one wants to here a 50 year old rapper. Nas and Jay are holding on...

50 is good. He made money rapper. His shit is basically done.

Troy Ave is going to take his spot. LOL

Ross killed him with this. Its a wrap

You're delusional. He's be lucky to sell 100k

 

[exiledking]

Interscope is still good enough for Dre, Em, Kendrick, and lots of other A listers. When you're no longer an A lister, no reason to be there. I get it Fif.

 

[JMillion]

he makes his money elsewhere. He been trying to get away from Interscope for awhile anyway. He been trying to release tracks and albums and wouldnt go anywhere. Indie is better,and he can easily fund his own projects with the cash he has
