That's 50 for ya. Controlling the narrative.

All that sounds alot better than "Interscope has no faith in me and I can't get an album out, so they dropped me and I hobbled off to the valley to die."

:ohhh:

Isn't this the same exact situation that he ridiculed people about when they went with KOCH records? Something about being in graveyard when labels are not willing to invest capital on an artist?

Karma is real.

The game's changed drastically since then, gotta learn to adjust with the times.

:snoop::snoop:

This is why black people never succeed. Nikkas hate whatever you do. I mean you can hate the man as a rapper but dont knock the man's hustle.

He making major business moves as a black man i am proud of another black man is bold enough to do


Salute Fif :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute:

Fif made the old NY guard stop eating and made the south take over. Is that something to be proud of?

Care to explain :wtf:

Fif beefed with Everyone in 2004 to 2008 (Lox, Terror Squad, Dipset, Murder Inc, Bravehearts) and made the south take over the airwaves. Fif made the old NY stop eating and even told them that he would take away their album release dates (Styles P).

Fif took a lot of food out of many and fed only his comrades and his bytch made followers. I call him the rap version of Robert Mugabe.

The money has to be split alot of ways before it gets to 50. Cutting out eminem dre and jimmy is a great idea. No reason to hate that.

Dre was a good example but I think you are misunderstanding my point.

I didn't mean he should chill and not work anymore, what I was saying is that obviously 50 got mad capital. He can just invest, start new ventures or buy some shxty soda company nobody ever heard of make it pop and sell it AGAIN. What I don't understand is why he's still trying to chase a music career that is way past due.

Now back to Dre, dude hasn't put out an album since 1999, but nikkas still know who he is, why? Cuz his "legend" stayed with him, Dre didn't flop 10 singles in a row, didn't try to force new music out (even though it's beyond "delayed") but still he played the financial game right and now he's the owner of prolly the most profitable headphones brand and recently invested millions in a University a few miles from where he grew up.

That's what I would expect from 50 now, not singles with everybody from Alicia Keyes, to Adam Levine and Kendrick..

this. even tho Dre is a total fukk boy, he rolled the dice (with help from Jimmy) and now the two of them don't ever have to make a music related decision anymore (outside of what color headphones should come out). Dre shoulda known 7-8 years ago that it was time to cash out of the music business but he still promised an album and released a few flop singles here and there (Kush, I Need A Doctor). But it hasn't tarnished his legacy. The focus should be on making the best looking (not sounding) headphones and stay 5 steps ahead of these other companies. Make 1 or 2 great headphones for the audiophiles and the rest of the Beats lineup should be the same bullshyt they've been putting out but at a lower price point so that they eventually undercut the next brand that has a hotter design
