Music News: Damn Homie!!! 50 Cent LEAVES/DROPPED by Interscope/Shady/Aftermath
- Thread starter playahaitian

50's problem was/is....Out the gate with his official debut album he sold an overwhelming amount of records and after you do something like that there's no where else to go but DOWN music career wise. It's truly lonely at the top.
Take a look at artists like Jay-Z, Fat Joe, Rick Ross and any of his past enemies, they were never huge sellers like 50's first two albums, therefore they had room to climb and build onto their fan bases throughout their career's.
50 sold like 14 million with "Get Rich" and 9 million with The Mass", where else could he had gone its not like he was going to keep climbing up! So there you go, everyone has their time to shine when they are hot.
With Rick Ross, 50 gave him alot of shine and he actually became more popular and a better artist.
To be honest i rather have the career of a Rick Ross and stay right in the middle sales wise than come out the gate and do 14 million records, you crash and burn after that in most cases. Even though we all know Ross wants to be as big as Jay'z and other superstars he's better off where he is judging how most huge artists die out before our eyes, 50 is experiencing this right now.

Eminem, Dre, Snoop, Drake, Nicki Minaj and a few others never had that problem.
Hir real problem is he's an asshole, and his music isn't good enough to overshadow that, and people kinda figured it out over time.
ya know what? scratch that- No one ever knows if the audience is gonna keep on loving them.
With 50, they simply stopped in the same numbers they once did. It just looks funny because he made so much fun of people when he was on top as if he would never be in this "space" as he likes to call it.
Good shit.
Always a fan of Curtis the business man.

What i highlighted in red is the key mystery of a musicians career.
Its too early to say Drake and Nicki.
Snoops sales dropped down before industry sales went down overall for all artists.
Em's are dropping now. Even Lady Gaga is going down, for example.
Nelly might be the perfect example to use.
I agree
50 had a ball clowning Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Camron and all other NY rappers. I've always said that 50 is the one who destroyed NY as a whole also.
Game says exactly what i said about longevity career wise, how ironic!
lol u really wanna compare a drake and nicky to a 50 u funny lol.
at saying people say ross killed him. ross been having like 6 people eat off him. ross never went platnum hell you cant even compare ross with a jeezy or ti. sales. there is a reason he almost died he has to work xtra hard. now i do give props for signing meek and wale but where meek at now? he first album basically flopped. 50 cent dropped the unit everybody went platnum except yayo he sold 800k. in my opinion he fuckd up meek mills buzz. at the end of the day 50 will be relevant for life with the money he made. just like diddy and jay-z.
true

Lol sorry but when you say shit like "Ross has to work too hard, that's why he got sick" and "Meek mill flopped" what am I supposed to do but laugh?
One of these guys is all over the radio and has been for the last few years, and one of them used to be.
One of em has a label with several artists, and one used to.
You can keep talking history all ya want
bro there is a reason why meek hasnt dropped a second album. you see wale went gold and dropped a second album right. shit how many times has rick ross even been pushed back. meek mill flopped point blank and i like his music but it was just mismanaged. and the product wasnt good enough. the only successful artists in terms of selling are ross and wale. even Montana flopped. if you think i making it up go look it up
plus there s a difference in somebody that has been out 12/13 years and someone who is been out 7/8 years.

Stan you on some bullshit, Yayo never went Gold let alone sold 800K, I am convince you are 50cents biggest fan, so you already have a built-in excuse. Look your idol was dropped because Universal was pissed he was fucking up other artist under their umbrella sales and beefing with everyone. Jimmy Iovine got a mandate a while back to blackball him. That's the reason he hasn't release an official album in almost 5 Years, keep thinking Dre appeared on Rick Ross Album for nothing, keep thinking it was Schoolly Boy Q who didn't want 50cents on his album.
Beefing with everybody was his downfall, then a hot ass Rick Ross stopped him dead in his tracks and his spins in the radio died down immediately. Now he's rich and can fund his own projects, but he'll never be relevant in this Music Business as an artist again, he has officially burnt his own bridge.
He's damn near responsible for fucking New York hip hop, and now trying to reconcile with artist he had beef with, from The Lox to Fat Joe, karma caught up with him.
Can destroyed this faggit
This was the day he put the knife that killed 50 cent slow
Made that nigga go do movies over seas
U can shut down diplomat projects??
Cam called that nigga Curtis for the entire country to hear.
He didn't call him 50 like everybody else
U ain't 50 50cent from from BK
Omfgfgggggggg
Currrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtis
"Buck ain't been out for 3 years(he the hottest)"
Funny how times are different.
U called Koch the graveyard and he let prodigy go there and now he a on a indie
Cam buried him and Ross put fire to his grave faggit
Jasonblacc still mad!!!
Schoolboy q said no faggits on my album

the OP got it right w/the thread title - this nigga was DROPPED.
eminem just released yet another successful album that received both commercial and critical success, he is currently on a WORLD tour
dr dre and dre beats..
i mean 50 isn't doing SHIT on these cats level...if not for that vitamin water deal he'd be right in a really tight spot

The hate is strong - so if your not with a major than your not making moves ?dre ain't do shit since beats and that was what 10 yrs ago? You must be forgetting about boxing venture movie venture feed the hungry venture, health books empowerment books SMS audio? But i guess if your not on dre level than you ain't doing shit ?
I would but than I'd be labeled a Stan - schoolboy q was on power today they ask anybody in the game he instantly got starstruck by guess who he said ? I know u Didn't say cam buried 50 - you sound like u need one of them capes cam pushing cause he ain't push shit since " Curtis" - what is a dip. Set ? Just playing devils advocate
I see some 50 cent stans in here. He won't see you at his shows or in the stores to buy his album though lol

Thoughts of a Predicate Felon is the commercial debut album by G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo. It debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, and sold about 214,000 copies in the first week of release. The album has sold over 1,000,300 copies so far.-- besides this everything else u said was pretty much on point

Makes me wonder, if he has been deliberately making wack shit so he could get dropped? LOL!
Winners. No matter what, they will find a way to win. 50 is a winner. Losers will see this as a lost. Justifying their lives, living in the safe zone. Not taking any chances in life. Getting that degree, the great job with all the benefits. Wondering why the rich are getting richer. The great thing today is that anyone can get rich. 50 is a great example. There are three types of people. People who watches things happen. People who makes things happen. People who wondered what the fuck happened. Choose very wisely.
