50 Cent To Kick Off New York Mets Concert Series

    Queens product 50 Cent will perform at Citi Field June 14, 2014 following a Major League Baseball game between the New York Mets and the San Diego Padres as part of the 2014 Mets Concert Series presented by Duane Reade. In addition to 50 Cent, the concert series will feature Huey Lewis and the News and R&B/Soul group Boyz II Men.

    According to an official press release by the New York Mets, Huey Lewis and the News will perform Saturday, July 12 following the 4:10 p.m. Mets-Marlins game, and Boyz II Men will play Saturday, August 16 after the 7:10 p.m. Mets-Cubs game. The 50 Cent show will take place approximately 20 minutes after the conclusion of the game from a stage in the outfield behind second base. Tickets for post-game concerts are on sale now at Mets.com and (718) 507-TIXX. Admission to the concert is included in the price of the game ticket.

    February 6, 2013 marked the 10-year anniversary of 50 Cent’s Interscope debut, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. Four days after being released on February 6 2003, the album sold 872,000 copies, and at the time was the highest-selling major label debut since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking record sales in 1991. Since then 50 has invested in Vitaminwater, established a partnership with Reebok through his G-Unit clothing line and started a boxing promotions company.

    1. How much y’all wanna bet this nigga gonna be rappin shit from 03 cuz we all know this nigga ain’t had a hit record in 5 years. Nigga needs to focus on releasing new hit shit and not rappin magic stick and all that lame nigga shit he released ten years ago. Oh yeah he can’t release an album cuz all his most recent shit has FLOPPED!!!!!!!

      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. I dont understand why 50Cent is failing, his Bosses are multi-multi platinum artist and his label mate Kendrick Lamar is the hottest rapper in the game!

      2. How is he failing? He made 7 mill last year without an album or tour? Ya boy Ricky Rozay didn’t bank that with his untouchable label and multiple endorsements.

      3. Kendrick tried to revive his career and appear on his single, they even used a Daft Punk sample but not even King Kendrick Lamar and Daft Punk could bring poor Fiddy back to life again.

      4. 7 mill is friggin awesome dude, his headphones and energy drinks are awesome too, I was talking about his career in regard to music.

      5. JayZ & Drake cant save 50s career if Em & Dre cant, Em is the biggest artist in rap and Dre is the biggest producer. 50 should sign to MMG like Wale did after he got dropped from Interscope.
        Maybe Ross could revive 50s career.

    2. This year for Christmas Godfather 50 should give Gunplay back his tiny MMG chain. That would be a very good christian thing to do to help balance out all of his sins.

      1. 50 Stans talk about that chain like it was the last highlight of their careers, LOL, do them dudes even have record deals?

      2. “50 Stans talk about that chain like it was the last highlight of their careers, LOL,”

        Not a big fan of 50 or Ross but I think it’s because dudes go around calling themselves the ‘Untouchable Maybach Music Empire’ or something when they not about that life.

      3. “Not a big fan of 50 or Ross but I think it’s because dudes go around calling themselves the ‘Untouchable Maybach Music Empire’ or something when they not about that life.”

        Stop frontin and lyin you reek of a 50 Stan because normal music fans aint nearly corny enough to write something like that.

      4. Ricky worked as a CO for ONE year. Youve never seen thug niggas who hold down day-jobs? He has many real Miami thugs that he still runs around with to vouch for him

        Sure, some of his rhymes are fabricated, but who the fucks arent? Rap is full of hyperboles and bragging. Tell me a rapper that hasnt made up shit in his rhymes, and Ill call you a liar

        Bawse!!!!!!

      1. Childish Gambino album sold more first week than Jesus Piece and the same amount as R.E.D. Album. LOL R.I.P Game

      1. Sad thing is that 50 fell off harder than any other artist in history without prison or drugs influencing his demise.

      2. harder than ja rule?

        PIL2 3200 first week, 6700 sold in 2 years for a former multi plat artist is pretty big fall

      3. “harder than ja rule?

        PIL2 3200 first week, 6700 sold in 2 years for a former multi plat artist is pretty big fall”

        Ja Rule went from 3 million to zero
        50 Cent went from 8 million to zero
        The big difference is that 50 Cent is signed to the biggest rapper in the world and two of the most powerful men in HipHop Jimmy Iovine and Dr Dre. The Feds and prison hurt Ja’s career more than 50 did.

      4. the big diff is 50 made his millions and is set for life. ja still out here doing christian drama films to feed his kids

    3. Ja Rule career: (1999-2012) 8 retail albums

      50 Cent career (2003-2009) 4 retail albums

      13 years & 8 albums

      VS

      7 years & 4 albums

      Ja Rule has basically lapped this guy even if you factor in the fact that he did two years in prison.

      1. If anyone enjoys a good Christian Drama flick be sure to check out “I’m In Love with a Church Girl’ starring Ja Rule!

      2. really anon 2 bank accounts? please tell me you a female because if you a dude and you talking about another niggas pockets OH RILEY LET EM KNOW

      3. what good is lapping someone if you’re not even in the same race?

        just saying, for such a long career ya boy ja had he dont got shit to show for it now.

      1. game i could see but never rozay. hoe ass nigga started a beef with a man he never met over not getting an autograph and a picture at the awards show. not to mention he the fakest nigga in all of raps history. 50 too gutter to let that shit go

    4. 50 is finished he is over with. No more music from 50 he cant make a decent song to save his life. Mastermind album of the year.

      BAWSE!!!

    5. “According to an official press release by the New York Mets, Huey Lewis and the News will perform Saturday, July 12 following the 4:10 p.m. Mets-Marlins game, and Boyz II Men will play Saturday, August 16 after the 7:10 p.m. Mets-Cubs game”

      So they got all the has-been’s to play at the Series, heh?

      1. has beens probably getting paid for more this show than your fav rapper gets for 5 shows playing for 2000 people in a local theatre

      1. Honestly I can’t get mad at the G Unit Stans here as they are hilarious for the most part. I mean they obviously live in alternate universe where they believe people still give a shit about 50 enough to buy his albums and they keep using the same “50 Has Millions In The Bank” argument over and over again. I would love to visit this world they live in one day if I get the chance but unfortunately I live in the real world unlike them.

    6. 50 Cent’s career is over. His music sucks his acting sucks. This nigga only gets publicity by talking bad about other people and create fake beefs.

      Face it only GRODT was an dope album. After that he only repeating himself.

      This guy has no friends in hiphop even his own crew hates him.

      1. You’re wasting your time trying to convince the 50 Stans here as apparently they live in a parallel universe where the sun rises and sets around 50. Things like the obvious truth and facts don’t matter to them as 50 is the be-all, end-all of their existence. On the real 50 is relevant as a business person but as a rapper no one is really feeling him anymore for the most part except the Stanatics. Nonetheless I wish 50 the best of luck whenever his album gets released and that Interscope doesn’t keep pushing it back till christmas 2016.

      2. if his career is over why you guys feel the need to tell us over and over 6 times a month every time a 50 article gets posted…. you literally been saying his career is over for 3-5 years now….. how is he still here?

      3. Hey man a gig is still a gig, and when you compare this to some show that an up and coming rapper would do at some hole in the wall bar, well this is major. headlining a concert series for a major league baseball team is a good look for a viable artist like Fif. think of all the oppurtuinties this could lead to: a commentator position, a 6 figure tour deal, etc

    7. I’m more looking forward to his Big Apple Boxing event tonight in Queens! Performances by Prodigy, Troy Ave, Tony Yayo, Nyemiah Supreme and Pop Dallas whoever that is??

    8. cant wait for his new album, im not gay no lil wayne no kanye no drake or im not a fraud so no officer ricky or walle ft lady gaga or a snake no french or jay z

    9. come out the closet;kanye,lil wayne,drake,puffy,birdman,tyga,game,big sean,john legend,bow wow,french,wale,k.dot,

      1. erm seeming they are 50 Cent fans you’d expect them to comment on his articles, no reason for haters to though, unless they are secret fans

    10. “A 50 Cent with no career is still years ahead of Wale”

      How so? Wale is touring. Releasing albums. Just had a platinum single. Has another album due out in 2014. Curtis can’t hide behind old money anymore.
