50 cent breakfast club interview

[Still Benefited]

Sounds like Kanye.

Atleast he make good music

probaly the perfect example of sumbody who does that and does it well....people who care about Kanye and are fans were interested in hearing him talk about those moments like his mothers passing,his breakup with amber rose,his response to the media hate after the Taylor Swift shyt....and he always seems to do it well at least to his fans liking.

On the flip I think T.I had his moment when he got outta jail,nikkas had been waiting and that wuz his moment to drop sum heat,you know nikkas always expecting that AEOM when a nikka get out.....he failed to deliver and dropped a dud at his "moment"....so now fans is kinda off on em...what sad is you can't really predict when inspiration is going to hit but nikkas got due dates regardless.

Nas LIG is a good example of a artist capitilizing on that moment and dropping a nice album...most these rappers ain't really livin no more cuz they can't...and when they do they don't wanna be vulnerable and talk about it.....rappers would do well I think to draw from peoples lives who actually are living,u don't always have to rap about your life if u think of a good concept go with it....I think fans are smart enough to know the difference if u wanna do that throughout ur album....rather that then a bunch of party records,or records about shyt u used to do that uve been repeating for years now

No one has ever questioned his media relevance, hell, that's where he's always thrived. But can we in good conscience say 50 Cent is relevant in today's musical landscape? No of course not. And you can tell money and accomplishments aside this bothers him.

What are you talking about?
If you mean relevant as far as radio play payola and getting invited to award shows then no because he has been clearly blackballed by the industry the past few years

If we are talking his ability to make good music, big 10, lost tape and murder by numbers were all dope and had classic tracks. The 3 mix tapes he dropped this year were a lot better than the majority of hip hop music that dropped this year

All his recent music videos did over 1 mil views each

So explain to me exactly how he is not relevant?

Sure. I'm not one to delve into blind hate or have "rapper enemies" so I'll explain/respond from my perspective. I don't agree with 50 Cent being blackballed in any shape, way or form. Label troubles aside he's collaborated with the likes of Jermih, Kiss, Too Short, E-40, Schoolboy Q, Nicole Sherzinger, Wiz Khalifa, YG and more since 2009's BISD. How does that qualify as a man who is blackballed? Especially considering he also performed on American Idol of all places.


Again 50 Cent is media relevant and certainly relevant from a what's going on in pop culture standpoint which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with music. Headphones, energy drinks, Twitter, his humor, conscious capitalism & philanthropy, giving unsolicited opinions on celebrity dilemmas.... he's a constant presence. But his music is lacking the it factor he had I'd say prior to '09. He has plenty of fans still overseas especially in places like Ireland so that would account for the views on his youtube music. But the truth is right there in front of you my dude. His mixtapes used to make national hip hop news, play out of every car, quoted & debated and now besides Unit die hards such as yourself.... no one really gives a fukk. It's not backlash or black balling, it's an appropriate response to music that no longer has any real artistic investment or a semblance of what made us love or even love to hate him in the first place. It's bland.

 

[True Blue Moon]

You nikkas talking about rambling really didn't get anything out of this interview? Wow.

 

[Fredrick Thuglas]

Floyd is big name and all, but he aint as big some of your think he is. My point is this, it's not as deep as you like to make it. He didn't cut Buck off because of some "flaw". He cut him off, because he became useless, and wasn't making money. You think if Buck was going whatever platinum, he would give a damn about his "character".

50 character is suspect as hell.

I disagree. Buck was on video, like 2 or 3 times, saying fukk g-unit/50. Then he would apologize and 50 gave him a pass, then he did it again at a lil Wayne show (or Jeezy show). That's when he cut him off.

What about Game? If what you said is true he wouldn't have dropped Game because he just sold 5 million albums and went platinum on his album after that. Plus, both Buck and Game were still under contract so 50 got paid for the albums released after they were dropped from g-unit.

You sound kinda biased against 50. But to each his own.

 

[Fredrick Thuglas]

When he started talking bout white organized crime and black people

where was this going

yall making me sound like a 50 cheer leader cause I keep coming to his defense...

But he was asked by Charlamane if isolating himself was hurtful to his career.

He explained that his isolation came from his beef with New York rappers and him not working with NY rappers. At the time he was beefing with Ja Rule who is affiliated with Supreme. Supreme got 50 shot 9 times and Murda Inc was tryna blackball him by saying "he is really a street nikka and the violence is real". The labels looked at him like a thug or an animal.

Because of that, no NY label was willing to sign him...and 50 IS FROM NY but had to go to Detroit/L.A. to get a deal.

So 50 explained how black on black crime is looked at differently than Italian Mob crime. If NY label execs look at 50 like an animal, how are they looking at the other criminals in the Mob.

50 cent will perform the same acts as an Italian american but when looked at from the outside, the Italian american is considered intelligent and 50 is considered an animal. He was pointing out the double standard.

He went on a little bit of a tangent but I think he has a lot he wants to say so it might get a little convoluted.

This is horrible logic and reasoning on his part. Record labels are not investing money into mob figures so of course he is going to be judged differently than them. He is judged because they have an investment in him. When Franky Mumbles gets a record deal you can guarantee that some of the 'street' shyt that he is doing is going to be looked at differently.

 

[mortuus est]

50 cent for world leader

 

[That Singer Guy...]

really good interview

 

[Easy-E]

Great observation

But, on the flipside: 50 Cent hasn't had his "moment" since he got shot

Dude's other "moments" were made off frivolous beefs 'til ppl tired of it

Dude seems to live should an isolated life (Jay-Z, also) to where he has no experience that will translate to interesting music, so he stick to rerashing his past and makin' party records with hot artist

50 is smart, but, is talkin about himself

 

[Yaboysix]

My nikka. If been thinkin..


Fif should start some type of new imprint in NY for the up and comming hiphop scene .

He can't name it G-unit tho..he gotta switch that up.'

I think that would put alot of newcomers on.

 

[HARLEM AL]

Didn't hear any ramblings. Every ? He was ask he broke the shyt down and explained it.

I know you nikkas aren't dumb but seeing how this is the coli only corny nikkas like lupe and Nas could only spit some shyt with truth in it. Other rappers don't stand a chance.

Scutst at you dikk riding ass nikkas.

Ps he said the same shyt I was thinking when he was talking about lupe bytch ass. I rather bump cheef keef then some corny ass lupe(f&l and the cool are dope tho).

He is still up to the shyt too. He sneak dissing Wayne, Kanye or some damn body in almost every interview. People just got tired of hearing that man. Like dude if you got nothing good to say about these other artists then shut the fukk up. He hurt his own business with that stuff. Even when he was talking about Floyd he is throwing shots about how Floyd maintains his personal relationships.

Just like when Cassidy was about ot come out of jail. Lil Wayne was gaining popularity with his "greatest rapper alive" title and Cassidy was known as a spitter so people thought he was gonna give Wayne a run but when he came out of jail that nikka fell all the way off.

The car accident didn't help either.

You're right when you mention that labels wont invest in a potential liability but 50 still makes a valid point in the racial double standard when it comes to crime.

No we glorify crime but I respect a nikka that can maneuver in an environment where there are no rules and it is literally kill or be killed and these street nikkas survive and make millions in the process. You gotta respect the strategy and tact.

Frank Mathews, Rayful Edmond, ect. How do you make millions a day without some jealous nikka (in the game or out the game) shooting you? But people call them thugs and not organized crime. The Mob sold drugs and bootlegged, extorted...whats the difference? Why is the Mob organized crime and black mobsters simply thugs.
