Could've Been The Best Rapper! Musically Did 50 CENT Fall Off? Stunted Growth Music

Поделиться

  • Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
  • Today’s feature you must know is one of my favorite people in entertainment period and a rapper I look at that as rappers, you should inspire to be like. What I admire most is that he continued to evolve and is continuing to push himself in different endeavors you’d never expect a rapper to lead or be involved in. His career as an entertainer superseded most expectations and it’s admirable how he was able to parlay his music career into bigger and more vast relationships. But, if we were to look at 50 cent’s music career, you can’t help but feel it was a slight disappointment. 5 albums in 20 years, 1 since 2010. He was the hottest rapper in the game when he first came out, leading to his first album dropping and literally being the topic of conversation in 2003 and going #1 on the charts and diamond worldwide. With the start 50 cent had, no one would’ve thought he’d end up with only 2 #1 albums and by the end of the decade struggle to even go gold, but such was the case.

    How do you view 50 Cent's career? For me I applaud what he's done to evolve into other challenges, just wish we got more out of his prime. he was one of the best rappers early 2000s and still writes a fire verse from time to time. Musically do you think 50 was a disappointment?

      yeah he should've branched out into other things to rap about. Still he had one of the biggest pushes in music of all time. He was the rap version of Stone Cold Steve Austin. People liked the hype and the beefs but when it came to the technical side of rapping and doing other stuff on the mic he just stayed in the lane he was in.

    Music was changing by the time "Curtis" dropped. 50 got out at the perfect time. Its hard to keep making street music after being away from it and RICH for so long. He didn't stay in the streets like these idiots today do. He moved faraway. He had video games,clothing,shoes, cologne, MOVIES, TV on LOCK and everything else you could ask for.50 did it PERFECTLY.Kanye, Cudi, and other similar acts were coming into serious form at the time. 50 is the Blueprint for these dudes today. 50 is the Floyd of rap to me.

    Imo 50 is one of the best rappers of all time he’s in my top 5 he had a great music career went diamond twice worldwide dropped 2 classic albums through his career dropped 2 classic G-unit albums throughout his career have plenty of classic mixtapes 50 is definitely one of the 🐐s in hip-hop I wouldn’t say he fell off musically I’d say it was more so hip-hop was changing gangsta rap wasn’t cool anymore Kanye West proved that no matter what 50 put out it wasn’t going to hit the same like it did earlier in his career. One thing I’d say that is bad about 50s career is 50 has been a rapper for 20 plus years right….. and he only has 5 albums in a 20+ year career imo he should be way more than 5 albums deep in his career he should have at least 7 to 8 albums by now but idk I always felt like 50 didn’t release enough albums like he could or should I really wanted to hear his SKI album that he kept talking about but unfortunately it never came out and honestly I think Interscope was holding the album hostage and not letting 50 put it out but that’s another story but yeah 50 should have had a deeper discography than just 5 albums.

He's had a couple Songs that have hit since his last Official Album. "No Romeo, No Juliet" made waves. Couldn't get away from "I'm The Man" when it dropped and "Money Power and Powder" is blasting out of the Cars of every dude in my City right now. 50 is a calculated dude, and he knows what he's doing. I expect his last Album to be a major surprise, even if it goes ignored by the masses, but I'll never count 50 out. Learned THAT LESSON already.

    I recently had this thought and 50 cent, to me he’s the rap version of marlo from the wire. I think he generally liked the thrill of confrontation the street life brought. From the stories I heard about 50 back on the south side he was always looking for a fight or bullying somebody. I feel like he’s smart enough to know that getting back involved in the streets in any way is completely pointless but he still misses the blood rush, like marlo making it out the streets but still leaving that upscale party to go and confront some corner boys. so him beefing with other rappers or poking fun at people is that little bit of taste he can get, like Marlo licking his blood off his arm.

He was literally the pinnacle of hip hop when G-Unit was at its all time high. I mean, come on, 50 made himself into a brand, and is still going strong with his keen sense of business acumen to this day. Stunted growth? Nah.

Once his style got played out he didn’t have the ambition to do music like that anymore… His stunted growth was due to him not being a great rapper in the first place, his story was more exciting than his music. His greatest strength is the fact that he’s a marketing genius. But that’s also his downfall cause he’s rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

Look at Ayo Technology, that was the time where MANY other artists were upping/"selling out" top the pop sound. His transition was clean for him. Would you rather transition to a mogul at the right time when you see the writing on the wall like 50, or be tone deaf to your falloff n keep making "for the streets music" when completely isolated from the lifestyle like Ice Cube. No knock at Cube, what I'm saying is these most recent tapes he made when in the penthouse acting like he was still in the basement didnt hit like the Predator.
