Are Diddy, Birdman & Dr Dre really relevant like that? nope. Him mentioning the deal was subtle shot, he was implying that the record label wasn't the problem 50's music was lol

Notice he said "Aggressive Content"? That was just underhanded shots lol

Think about it though, Birdman, Diddy, Dre are "currently" contributing and changing the state of Hip Hop. Whether it's through their artists, such as Drake, Wayne Minaj (Birdman), Rick Ross (Diddy), Kendrick Lamar (Dr.Dre), or their products, Ciroq(Diddy), Beats(Dre). 50 is arguably in the same financial boat as those other guys, but none of his deals are being embraced by the youth, and as far as any artists under his tutelage..........well he has no up and coming artists to lay claim to at this time.


You right though, the aggressive content comment was fukked up lol.

He's baiting him and angie went out of her way twice to throw pharell's name in the mix just like steve went out of his way to showcase that pink snot rag. :wrist:

But as we all know, 50 needs a hit.

true, but with Kendrick most of the credit goes to top dawg not Dr Dre, he was just a co sign basically, Ciroc is doing great but diddy is musically just as gone as 50, you can't attribute Ross' success to him.

Birdman has control of hot artist but the point Steve was making was that the actual ARTIST themselves need to be musically relevant & have hits. he did say that.

50 Cent: Walking away from Interscope (Photo: Spencer Lowell For Forbes).

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson spent much of his early life yearning for a record deal with one of the major labels. After a run with Universal-backed Interscope that began in 2003 and saw him sell over 30 million albums, he’s spent much of the past few years itching to leave.

Yesterday, he got his wish: he’s departing the label that launched his career to forge ahead as an independent artist. He has signed a worldwide distribution deal with Caroline/Capitol/UMG for G-Unit Records and his own releases, beginning with Animal Ambition, due out on June 3rd.

“It’s freedom to invest in your own ideas,” he told FORBES in his first interview since the news broke. “If ever I had a horse that I was betting on at the track, I’d like to be the horse. Let it be me, goddammit, because I’m going to run as hard as I can.”

He says his deal is structured similarly to Cash Money’s arrangement, whichin which Bryan “Birdman” Williams’ label doles out a mere 7% of wholesale per album to Universal in exchange for distribution and support.

In conjunction with Eminem’s Shady Records and Dr. Dre’s Aftermath label, Interscope will continue to release and market 50’s lucrative back catalogue, including his 2003 multiplatinum opus, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.

“50 Cent is, and always will be, a marquee artist for us,” said Steve Berman, Vice Chairman of Interscope/Geffen/A&M, in a press release. “We respect his decision to pursue this new venture and the next chapter in his career, and wish him nothing but the best. He will always be a part of our family.”

The timing of 50’s split with Interscope comes as a bit of a surprise, given that he still owed the label another album. Artists rarely get out of their deals early without paying some sort of fee—five years ago, Jay Z famously bought back the last album he owed Universal for $5 million (and later sold it for $10 million)—but 50 says he didn’t have to fork over any cash.

“I’m a special case and situation,” he explains. “It’s also because of the leverage of having the strong relationships with Eminem and Dr. Dre. They don’t want to me to be uncomfortable. They value our friendship to the point that they would never want [to jeopardize] it over that little bit of money.”

Added Eminem, in a statement: “I’ve developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that’s not going to change. We know 50 will have success in his new situation, and we remain supporters of both him and G-Unit.”

Of course, another big reason the split between 50 Cent and Shady/Aftermath/Interscope has been amicable is that all the labels involved have the same parent company (“If it wasn’t all under the Universal umbrella, it wouldn’t work,” 50 admits).

The move gives 50 greater flexibility to pursue the sort of unusual release tactics employed by some of his peers lately—for example, Jay Z’s agreement to release his last album via a Samsung mobile app in exchange for a guarantee that the company would buy 1 million copies at $5 apiece.

It also allows 50 to dictate his own schedule for recording and releasing music videos. The latest example: he was able to offer FORBES the opportunity to debut thevideo for “Funeral” below.

“It’s having the ability to do that versus, ‘It’s out of the question,’” he says. “Now those options have opened up.”

I agree with you for the most part, but at the end of the day Kendrick's success is still partly the result of Dre's hand. Ross' success predates Diddy's involvement, but Diddy is still involved at this time. Even French Montana's who's album flopped, is still a sought after hook man and occasional featured guess verse while hanging out with Miley Cyrus. Plus there's still hope for Montana, I wouldn't count him out just yet despite the flopped album.

The point is though, 50's yet to really have an impact on Hip Hop since the GRODT days. His peers in the mogul sense of the word, peers, have their fingers on the pulse of the industry and culture. The same can't be said for 50 at this time. He's made some moves that benefited himself personally, but his brand hasn't really shaken Hip Hop in any way recently. This might be a bit harsh or a stretch, but his brand is kinda like South Pole clothing at this time. Yeah it exists, but the cool kids aint wearing it.
