Over the past 2 or 3 years of trying to get a song to pop so he can finally get a release date, the former billboard chart position boasting Curtis "Interscope" Jackson has put out flopped singles from all conceivable angles...

But taking a step back from the joys of hating on him, it's actually kind of a thing of beauty...invokes memories of Hakeem Olajuwon in his prime dominating in the paint with post moves from every which way...or Roy Jones Jr. in top form, throwing punches from every direction and stance...

50 has made flopped singles an artform....I'm On It, Girls Gone Wild, Outlaw, First Date, New Day, Major Distribution, We Up, etc....he's run the complete flop gamut...from failed "club bangers"... to "yeah I'm taking it back to my old aggressive content filled style" ...to "hey let's make a pseudo-inspirational mainstream anthem with Alicia Keys on the chorus, it got Jigga a #1 record" ...to "hey trap rap is pretty hot right now, how about a drug dealing song with Jeezy on it" to "this is my last ditch chance, I'm just gonna blatantly put Eminem and a super mainstream cac singer on a track and get carried to a cheap top 5 crossover hit"...to ":snoop: fukk the Em record flopped :mindblown:...Kendrick's on fire right now, get him on a song ..MTV just named him #1 hottest in the game"...you name it, 50's tried it and flopped

On the other hand, as stated in previous threads, the "Aubrey Graham Buzz Recovery and Relevance Reinvestment Act" feature verse and hook stimulus package has been single handedly getting less popping rappers release dates and hit records left and right...every thing Drake touches goes straight into the upper reaches of urban radio and the upper half of the Hot 100...granted it won't happen because 50 being the crab ass muh'fukka that he is has effectively blacklisted himself from the YMCMB-OVO-MMG-WTB power circle, but what would happen if 50 ran to Drake for a hit :dwillhuh:...50's colder than pluto, floating out somewhere near the edge of solar system...Drake's scorching hot like the Sun...which side would things break?

:ohhh: The shyt is a quandary or a paradox or something

50s rich enough to where he doesnt need ANY label support. NONE. when you have a run like 50 you cant simply stay on top forever.

and homie i am IN the industry i can tell you that 50 will always have a solid fanbase, but the massacre days arent coming back. hes still genuinely popular and can still trend, but asking interscope to do anything would be useless.

50 likely knows this already

Does anyone think the industry isn't "pushing" 50 because of musically what he represents? I mean the type of music 50 cent makes it really doesn't fit todays poppy trends...which is why 50 is still smart for spreading his wings and venturing other money opportunities..I think he has humbled down since the 50 vs Kanye West shyt..that was metaphysically the battle of Street Music vs. The Evolution of Hipster..and well Hipster won
