As a person who saw him back in 2023 during that 50 music and comedy tour, he was really good. Knocked out a bunch of hits and the Power theme with clarity.

Not so much these days. Going to Vegas these days is a big deal because they drop obscene bags.
Who be telling you nikkax these lies?? Once an artist has trouble paying them bills they apply/look for jobs in Vegas. Trust me, working in Vegas daily is not something 50 is excited about which is why the half azz shows..it’s a job now n artist hate jobs..artist hate doing tours period but it pays the bills

It’s absolutely false.
A Vegas residence is an incredible opportunity for any artist.
You do a certain number of shows in one location without the enormous cost of moving the entire crew and production from city to city.
They also offer upfront guarantees that in many cases exceed ticket revenue because the casinos are trying to bring people in to stay at their hotel and more importantly spend money at the tables.
The reason people view residencies as :flabbynsick: is because casinos aren’t trying to draw 18-40 year olds who have far less disposable income.

Every clip he’s doing the same move
I knew what the move was before I even finished reading your sentence :wow:
I saw a Vegas influencer shyt on this in a youtube short recently :laff:

Fifty just standing in one spot moving his arm up and down :russ:
Said Yayo and Murda performed louder and better than him
...a few dancers in the background with bullshyt smoke and gave people the same up and down hand movement and bounce..

Seems like older people judging from the 70’s and 80’s perspective. Like they even put it in the Tina Turner movie when she had to do residency shows after she left Ike and before she blew up on her own in the 80’s. These younger acts are barely getting money now so the Vegas check looks great now. Guarantee money to perform in one place? Not too many would turn that down.
