50 Cent: Why He Hasn't Put Out New Music

[@danielsavov7504]

I agree with 50 because his album will always have value because theres always going to be people who struggling in their life an can relate to one degree or another from his art

[@jeffmahoney1271]

50 Cent was the ultimate gangster rapper, and the last of his breed.

Nope. Kool G Rap is still the most creatively, heavy hitting gangster narrator of all time. His flow, delivery, and context is unparalleled and is truly peerless within this genre.

[@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech]

@L.E.B he's too old and financially successful to relate to the new generation. It's also why dre never dropped detox. Rap is always about young unpreviledged men struggling to survive in a unfair world. 50 doesn't fit the image anymore. Old rappers don't make hit records, even snoop can't. 50 is nearly 50. His time as a rapper is over.

50 literally just described the reason for his constant trolling… it’s all shock value and he’s playing chess… I’ve never taken him serious as a rapper or keyboard warrior, 50 just playing the game with his formula

[@BrianJRoberts]

I think 50 is too complex to put in that "keyboard warrior" box. I'd speculate he's just totally fearless, so he speaks his mind without concern for the consequences, and that's why he appears to be a troll, when he's really just being himself, speaking his mind, because again, he isn't afraid. At the same time, he knows how to "play the game" (like when him and Kanye had that fake beef and were on the Rolling Stone cover together). TL:DR: He's too complex for a label like that. My thoughts, with respect 🙏🏼

[@sorethumbs379]

@@BrianJRoberts 50 is highly intelligent and he does EVERYTHING with intent….Even this interview with the BMF promotion in the back ground, he knows exactly what he’s doing… No one that studies the 48 Laws Of Power is clueless.

Been saying this about may weather for years. If you look at his pre fights. He would talk so much shyt about the other fight. When he knocks they out you can see he is genuinely concern about them. Every body wants to see the bad guy lose. That’s the role he plays.

[@Tastaalex]

I don’t know about not taking him serious as a rapper B. He been speaking real shit, never any sugar coat. Of course he has had a bunch of club and mainstream hits, but if you scratch below the surface you’ll discover a 50 you never seen on the billboards.

[@QuestionEverything562]

Fiddy a chess master, he has had his ups and downs, but his wisdom is off the charts at this point because of his upbringing and his dealings in the ruthless entertainment industry. The scary part is the things he's not directly telling us about the hip-hop/rap game behind the scenes. He's shared certain aspects about it, but I know he can't say everything. 50 Cent is definitely a sophisticated dude though. I remember like yesterday when his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin' dropped, it was around 2003 and my little brother ran to Wal-Mart and bought his CD lol. Everybody at school was already forgetting about Eminem, 50 was up next, it was 50 Cent mania. This guy blew up so fast and hard. He's 46 now and hasn't dropped an album since 2014, time sure flies. His points about shock value are so spot on, shock and controversy sells, and it sells big time amongst the youth every cyclical generation.

[@grimmygrinda3267]

He stopped making music because he said rappers don't make enough money and rapping don't last long so that's why he's a television producer.

[@tedbradford2122]

@L.E.B 50 ain't ever fall off and you should go back and bump that Curtis album again , straight heat.

[@PlatinumHustle]

He never fell off, he just don’t want to get caught up on this new trap auto tune mess that’s going on now lol. He still drops heat though, for example, the BMF intro is dope. Everybody want that 808 trap sound though, and it’s getting played out

[@JustMe-ws2pe]

@L.E.B that's the real facts. Others rappers are selling he's just not.

[@enjayflave]

Also if he put music out now like he did before it might not benefit his current business endeavors.

[@1HeavyHitr]

💯! Couldn’t agree with you more. I’m a huge 50 fan. Of his old stuff anyway. Can’t stand the new disco teenybopper bullshit with kid kid. 50 has been putting out wack music for a long time. Rick Ross puts out shit that goes way harder than 50. That’s sad.

[@donguapo7862]

The intros to his shows are some of the best music he's put out imo

[@Vision.Target.Shoot1]

I think he is the hardest working man in showbusiness, he got to where he is through shock value with tons of enemies he created a hard lonely lane as it was his only way and is comfortable in that space being from his background no mother father in streets thats what he is used to

[@BrianJRoberts]

What's fascinating about him is that it wasn't manufactured shock as an attention seeking device, but an accurate reflection of his life up to that point... and it just so happened to be shocking to most people. I'd say that's where his work ethic comes from too. The circumstances he was raised in. He's comfortable having enemies, because he has no fear.

But ahhh, he left Dre, and lets face it, he hasn't really been thought of as hot, full time rapper ever since. The sex tape scandal hurt him financially (exorbitant legal fee's and a costly settlement) but Power got him back on his feet.

Not to mention his style is old and dated and kinda played out at this point. Murder murder kill kill lyrics are still ultra popular. That was 50 Cent's bread and butter.
