50 Cent Admits That He’ll “Never Sell 13 Million Records Again”

    As part of an interview series for SXSW, Queens rapper 50 Cent kept it relatively candid as he spoke on the state of Hip Hop and music in general. The G-Unit rapper even revealed that as far as sales are concerned, he’ll never top the success of his debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’.

    Despite the severe decline in album sales across various genres, 50 Cent spoke on accepting this new musical climate and elaborated on the feeling he gets when making new music.

    “Newsflash, I’ll never sell 13 million records again,” said 50 Cent. “I’ll never sell 10 million records again. I don’t think anybody’s gonna do it. It’s a different business. It’s a different thing and I’m cool with that. I’m making music because I love it and it’s why I’m here. There’s nothing that can actually compare when it’s right. What it feels like when it’s right. When the music is just dead right and it’s like ‘woo’ that energy that’s there…that’s some special kind of high that you get addicted to and you’ll chase it for the rest of your actual career.”

    Fellow rapper Eminem was also brought up during the conversation as 50 Cent touched on the lack of rappers who are also able to song write and pointed out Em as an artist who has in fact succeeded in taking on songwriting.

    “I think the best rappers are like battling each other. They come up with the wittiest lines—[the] coolest ways to insult a person you ever heard in your life,” 50 Cent explained. “But they can’t write a song to save they life…Em is one of the guys from that platform that made it to that point. [He’s] that strong of a writer. He means more to music culture than people give him credit for. Because Hip Hop culture is a black art form, it’s a black music. When they have a figure or you have someone that’s from a different ethnicity come in and he does it as well, if not better than everybody in it—it loses its color. And that’s why Hip Hop music is now Pop music…You gotta be careful or you’ll get your ass handed to you on a track man. He’ll get to you.”

    1. Watch to the end to see where he takes a quick shot at Officer Ricky for not being about that life!!

      1. You should get a room with Officer Ricky. He’s heavy on your mind, even when it has nothing to do with him.

      2. Officer Ricky is heavy on everything. The scale, the servings, the couch, that nigga is heavy!!

    2. “You see it man, shots go off, POP POP POP POP Rick Ross be like ‘I don’t wanna live this life’, You see it.”

    3. That’s funny. 50 wasn’t about that life either. He was a low level drug dealer. I.E. A dime a dozen.

      1. Like being from the streets is a cool or good thing. Dudes from the streets don’t wanna be in the streets. They want to be in penthouses and condo’s. People give far too much credit to “that life”. “That Life” had no retirement plan, no 401K, no benefits, no success model. Just a threat of entry, failure, jail and tombstones. People, wake up and promote something better or you will always get what you have.

      2. ^ He wasn’t boss of nothing. Why do you think that? Because he’s the leader of that g-unit bullshit? He was a petty criminal just like every other “gangster” rapper. Sold a little weed, maybe robbed some innocent people. None of these dudes are the big coke, crime bosses you think they are.

      3. even niggas in his hood who hate 50 admit he was about that shit. coke n crack. if your enemies up you on the streets then u know u made a move

      4. lol, u do knw hes the only rapper that got shot 9 times and lived to rap about it, doesn’t get any more street than that, respect.

      5. @The Decatur ATL Boi: Truest words ever said on HHDX. Finally somebody on here speaks the truth ab how it really is in the hood. You can tell who’s really live that life. Or at least been around it enough to kno what it is. Driving thru few times (scared as fuck)& the bullshit these fabricated,bitch ass rappers don’t mean u kno shit ab it. When u really did come from the bottom & u make it as a rapper,and get rich, yea u gonna flaunt the $$ & whips but you appreciate it & ur not talking ab it like its “cool”. Lines like “fuck broke niggas”,”So much doe Ill some new Buggatti’s when Im bored”. That sounds like a spoiled ass fuck who grew up with $$ & two parents the 1’s. Real rapper that make it appreciate every dime & thank God everyday u dont have 2 sell dope any more. _ Not Related 2 50 Cent’s irrelevant career, cant remember how/who but brought it up. Just had to put that out 2some dumbasses who think they kno but r clueless

      6. so in other words ross is a bitch nigga for pretending to be about that life when he grew up good and went to school

    4. Read between the lines. Curtis is still very bitter about not having a career anymore. He’s complimenting Em, but if you read between the lines it’s like he’s saying how can he still sell making music I wouldn’t have made and still be able to sell a mill without even blinking. It eats him alive. And for the record, 50 never went diamond (domestically). He was always changing the number he sold to justify his rising ego.

    5. Fuck this homo ass nigga, Fiddy.
      I’d rather suck a dick than listen to any of his shitty ass songs.

    6. 50 will sell 200,000 records MAX when he finally drops. 40,000-80,000 first week sales since his last one did just over 100,000 3 years ago. He shouldn’t even be speaking about millions.

      1. no moron it sold just over 6000 copies LMAO! and that was in over a year on the shelves

        i bet you didnt it cop that shit

    7. 50 PEAKED ARTISTICALLY AND CREATIVELY ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. HE CAN DO SONGS WITH THE MOST POPULAR YOUNG RAPPERS OUT NOW AND IT STILL WONT HELP HIM. 50 IS A GREAT BUSINESSMAN (SLIMEBALL TOO). BUT MUSICALLY, HE IS COMPLETELY DONE. NO MATTER HOW MANY RECORDS SPINS AND DR DRE BEATS HE GETS. HE IS DONE. NOT EVEN BIRDMAN WILLIAMS CAN SAVE HIS CAREER.

      #PRAYFORBIRDMAN

      1. Cosign. Eminem could not save 50’s ass form the flopping My Life single. That shows Eminem is on a decline while YMCMB is on a rise.

      2. you see waynes last album sales? you call that a rise? and that lil bitch tyga sold half of what tyler the creator did first week out

      3. Eminem on a decline? HAHAHAHA!! Good joke. Let Em release his new single and you’ll take those words back.

      4. IANAHB2 is a side project. Eminem has struggled with Skylar Grey’s single as well. That’s proof.

      5. INAHB2 is a full studio album. The Skylar Grey song isn’t even Eminem. That’s not proof. Wait until he release his own single.

    8. 50 is spot on. He will never sell like he did, but he also doesnt have to. He has made great business decisions and built his brand, so now he can make music for fun. Too many artists lose sight of the “fun”, “passionate” element of making music, and it shows.
      As for his comment on pop, hiphop has gone pop. not in the sense that it sounds like typical pop music, but that it truly is popular music. There are so many genres in hiphop now, which is great. You can be underground, mainstream, in between. So many different lanes are open that enables us as fans to have access to so much music. The only people that complain are hiphop hipsters. People have to accept that hiphop can appeal to everyone. I cant stand waka flocka, gucci, but they have their core audience. I remember in 2001, cash money was super corny, but say that in the south and you may get punched in the mouth. haha. There is tons of great music for everyone.

    9. OF COURSE HELL NEVER HIT PLAT.. NIGGA GON GO DOUBLE FUCKIN WOOD NEXT ALBUM NOONE TRYIN HEAR HIS SHIT NO MORE- HE LOST HIS HUNGER AFTER HIS FIRST ALBUM BLEW UP YOU CAN TELL.

      1. WASNT FOR YOU TO LAUGH AT ITS THE TRUTH.. NIGGA 50 HASNT BEEN INSPIRED ON A TRACK SINCE GRODT OR THE SOUNDTRACK .

    10. News flash!!!!!
      We already knew that. 50 just happen to drop GRODT at a good time before piracy took off. And even with all the bootleg copies that were out, he still sold his ass off.

      His music career isn’t over yet but he sees the decline. Betta do more investments, my nigga.

    11. Someone will sell 10 million again. Hip hop is just bored of the same old shit. When someone surprising, refreshing and new comes along, they will sell.

      Artists need to stop crying and making excuses. If apple can sell a new version of iphone in ridiculous numbers with only a small handful of changes, than a hip hop artist can still sell 10 million records worldwide.

      That being said, 50 will never sell 10 million again

      1. Not in Hip Hop. YOu can see as many different kind of rappers are out there that make music so different from the rest and they won’t hit a 10 million mark

      2. itll happen but it wont be in hip hop. Why? because hip hp fans are the least supportive fans out of all the genres. its all in the numbers. Out of all the genres to suffer from bootlegging, hip hop is the most affected. I dont agree with selling out but i see why artists like Nicki and Flo Rida did. When you market your music strictly to the hip hop audience, youll see your numbers go down after a while whereas, for instance Flo Rida, once he went pop hes had hit after hit after hit after hit and has consistent success with a pretty loyal fan base.

        Adele did it not too long ago and Susan Boyle did it as well. Will someone sell 10million again, yea and itll probably be a singer. The closest another rapper will get is Eminem.

    12. 50’s sole purpose was instigating Ja Rule’s downfall. After Ja fell off for good, he had nothing else to offer.

    13. yea, now wannabe rappers like macklemore are trying hard to be hiphop.

      sad what happened to hiphop 😀

      1. yeah i hate those rapper wanna bees like gucci, 2chainz n chief keef.. fuckin wannabees killin hiphop

    14. no one in hip hop or rnb will because the music is so bad

      another great interview from 50

      watching his interviews is like watching a normal person speak real shit not like these other guys who come across like cartoon characters putting on a front for the people

      watch a 50 interview then watch a rick ross interview

      1. The difference being Ross comes off like a human being. 50 has a motive for every interview he does. He’s always name dropping somebody. Case in point, Eminem, again. Or giving us his take on how the music industry has changed. Here’s a thought Curtis. Talk about your son. Talk about the Knicks. Talk about Banks shoe collection. Anything other than Eminem or music.

      2. lol @ ross being human. that niggas whole life is one big movie role. he been in character since 2005

    15. I kinda feel like 50 is popping shots at Slaughterhouse. (i know they’re labelmates, but still…)

      “They come up with the wittiest lines[the] coolest ways to insult a person you ever heard in your life, but they cant write a song to save they life”

    16. 50 smarter then ur favorite rapper at least lol, most rappers can’t get out a full sentence and fif is actually articulate…not a fan of his music really but a fan of the guy

    17. He lost me when he said Em is a good songwriter. Correction: Em WAS a good songwriter.

    18. 50 spot on. You should make music that feels good to you, and let everything else take care of itself. Everyone on this site is so quick to point out flops (which, if you read through some of these damn comments is about 99% of albums released over the last few years) but these dudes pretty much know about what they’re going to sell before they drop the album. It’s not 2002 anymore

      1. some of these rappers are delusional though like when meek mill said he was gonna sell a million first week and french montana expecting to move 200k units first week

      2. I’ll give you that homie…I don’t mind Meek’s music but he was a fool for that one. And French is just retarded, str8 up. He’ll do Tyga numbers

    19. I actually am not a accountant, I gotta come clean. I’m 14 and live in my grandparents house (my mom gave me up cause she was a crack-head and never met my dad). I do this trolling thing because it makes me feel like I matter to SOMEONE at least ! Now that the jokes over, I just want to apologize for being such an troll and all my fake opinions…please don’t be too mad, this site is all I have …

      1. Im not dentaldamboy. What I’ve said describing him actually describes me.

      2. i am dentaldamboy….and seriously, I messed up guys. I played it too long and I’m sorry. I truly am.

    20. itll happen but it wont be in hip hop. Why? because hip hp fans are the least supportive fans out of all the genres. its all in the numbers. Out of all the genres to suffer from bootlegging, hip hop is the most affected. I dont agree with selling out but i see why artists like Nicki and Flo Rida did. When you market your music strictly to the hip hop audience, youll see your numbers go down after a while whereas, for instance Flo Rida, once he went pop hes had hit after hit after hit after hit and has consistent success with a pretty loyal fan base.

      Adele did it not too long ago and Susan Boyle did it as well. Will someone sell 10million again, yea and itll probably be a singer. The closest another rapper will get is Eminem

      1. flo rida sells singles but the albums flop. he dont even got 1 gold album, but like 12 plat singles

      2. florida got a loyal tour fanbase. and thats whre he makes his money and knows it. his albums flop harder than flipper on a beach, but his touring makes up for it all.. sure hes fuckin garbagio but he makes sum good club joints

      3. thats true but if you look at how many albums that are shipped then youd understand. I think there was an interview out like 2years ago, ima try and go look for it, that flo rida said the label only ships like 150k of his albums to stores because they already know hes gonna bring in the money with his ringtone and tour money. Which is genius of him and his label to do. Save money from not pressing a shit ton of albums and use that money on promoting his singles. Also remember a lot of movies and sporting events have his singles as their anthems which in turn means he gets paid for that

    21. THAT’S WHY YOU SCARED TO DROP THAT WACK ALBUM…THAT TRACK WITH KENDRICK SOUND LIKE FAGGOT MUSIC!!

    22. he has no buzz, thts why his album been pushedback further then tyga hairline… undisputed pushback champion

      1. he dont need to put out an album he rich as fuck and still in the news more than your fav rapper

    23. that rick ross shit was funny at the end ..he a fool.. but he aint lying tho.. he one of the few that keep it real

    24. Not that he needed to state that, but Gold is the new platinum theses days….250,000 is considered gold in my book…..regarding hip hop. Its hard to sell a million these days… I know justin Timberlake just did it with ease….BUT PEOPLE CAN’T EVEN FATHOM THE TYPE OF MACHINE THAT IS BEHIND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE….his shit was WORKED BIG TIME

    25. “and still in the news more than your fav rapper”

      Be honest with yourself. He’s only in the news if 1.) He’s talking about somebody or 2.) Shows up for no reason to a sporting event and tries to get face time.

      1. if 50 cent sold 6000 copies of his latest album you would be one of the first to mock him and call it a flop but since it’s ja rule its all good

      2. ja sold 30 millions just thought i’d let 50 fans know that. since ya’ll always throw 50 on everything ja does lol

      3. The public has you down packed Quote-Man, you can’t just submit contradictions and think all is good.

      1. Jay Z & Eminem would eat Tech alive. That’s why he works with Twista and Lil Wayne to make sure he doesn’t get upstaged on his own song.

    26. “He was the boss of a crew of drugdealers”

      Lol So the top low level dealer had a crew of smaller low level dealers? That’s unbelievably trill.

      1. triller than making 24k a year locking up the drug dealers you pretending to be in your fairytale raps

    27. how about being really honest. should’ve said “I will never sell 300,000 again”. Or “I will never release a major label album again”.

    28. shut up 50 ja rule is back that’s why your not going to sell shit no more. his street cred is actually real, not that i makes you a good rapper, but ja is a way better lyricist than 50. VVV is more lyrical than get rich or die trying believe meeeeee. 50’s is just catchy that’s it

      1. a tennis playing jehova witness who watned to be 2pac has more street cred than the guy who beat him up and took his chain?

      2. ja rule the truth and his cds are clasics nothing but the hits nothing but the hits nothing but the motha fucking hitssssssssssssssssssssss hit after hit i really do believe ja go way more hit records than 50. lol

    29. He might be on to something. Hip-Hop music hasn’t had the general appeal that it once had some years ago. Jay-Z hasn’t sold over five million copies since 2003. Kanye’s “masterpiece” MBDTF has sold only slightly over a million (since Feb 2012). Eminem fares better with 4 million off his last album Recovery. I just think its the a mix of the internet (not as many people buy albums any more and that rap isn’t as marketable as it once was.

    30. Hey, HipHopDX… this IS NOT the first time he has said this. He has said it for years now. Wake up. Reaching for a headline. No one will sell that much…except maybe that South Korean guy…lol

      follow at noles506

    31. the funny thing is he’ll still sell more than most of your favourite rappers worldwide other than Eminem. 50 is an international renown superstar, regarless. He got a vault full of hits and is still selling shows and getting interviewed. Its as though ppl in America are lost, Lil wayne? french montana? really? these guys cant complete their ABC’s let alone rap.

      1. That vault contains old hits. His new material is flopping. Stop cheerleading this man and find a new hero to fill the gap in your life.

      2. his new hits would be hits if they were released by anyone else but they trying to black ball him because he ended too many careers and niggas dont wanna see him win anymore

      3. dude said a vault full of hits LMAO stop it 50 been beggin for a game changer since massacre and cant get it.. im sure if 50 had hella hits he would of dropped one by now instead of the shit hes been droppin

    32. you know how 50 is still popular? whenever he speaks you’ll still get lots of views and 125 comment posts. Legend. Top 10 rapper ever to date.

    33. dre and eminem are the only reason u sold anything and anybody to day different are just plain stupid and have no smarts

    34. its colour not color fucking dumb americans

      and yes eminem is the best period OH AND WHITE LOL

      **** FUCK YA’LL HATERS****

      1. Get off the internet and study, bitch! Also, I’ll be with your mother in her bedroom so when you see the sock on the door nob don’t come knocking for anything you lil’ shit!

      2. BRITISH SUCK DICK:
        suck my dick whitey

        Im Irish… americans are such dumb cunts

        color my fucking ass

      3. post 05 flop’s tutor:
        Get off the internet and study, bitch! Also, I’ll be with your mother in her bedroom so when you see the sock on the door nob don’t come knocking for anything you lil’ shit!

        you dumb fuck- typical blinded american

      1. but atleast he did it. most of these new rap niggas (and some old) will never be able to say they did it even once

    35. “triller than making 24k a year locking up the drug dealers you pretending to be in your fairytale raps”

      As usual your leaving out an important piece of information. Ross was 19. 24k legal money for babysitting society’s filth. Sounds better than standing on a corner every night trying to sell drugs to dope fiends.

      1. sure theres nothing wrong with that but dont go pretending to be something you’re not. ross never sold a gram in his life. never busted a gun. never been to jail. definition of a fraud.

      2. and had ross rapped about that shti first off then ppl might of fucked with him.. but he lied, stole a gangsters name. rapped about everything in life hes never done before..and now were here..

    36. “still pretty good for someone who hasnt dropped an album in 5 or so years”

      He was dissed by a scrub sports columnist, and snubbed by a female reporter, all on ESPN. That’s not good. Especially when that scrub columnist ends his sentence by saying Drake is better.

      1. i know you dont follow his career but that female reporter has since done commercials for his energy drink and he fucked her

      1. So is your moms..my dick is tired. Tell I said Happy Mother’s Day when you see that bitch again!

      2. Anonymous Too:
        So is your moms..my dick is tired. Tell I said Happy Mother’s Day when you see that bitch again!

        she said u came in 5 seconds lol

    37. Ross will still never or ever sell more than 50. He should go bk to correctional officing. Lool.

    38. Maybe as far as hip-hop goes, no Artist will ever sell 10mil again but Adele hit the lottery with 21. She is from the UK tho but still to be able to sell like that in today’s music environment is fucking impressive. Her music is pretty good too

      1. respectable people in the world (anyone outside the hiphop world) actually buys albums

        selling is dead in HIPHOP bec the fanbase is a bunch of bums who bootleg shit.. this is a rap issue not a music issue

      2. i guess it wouldnt be fair of me without mentioning todays ‘hot’ rap BLOWS as well and its not worth buying..so its 2 issues.

      1. but they havent remained relevant in their genre 10 years later. 50 is hip-hop with or without another hit album

    39. JA RULE-PRAY FOR THE DAY LOOK IT UP ON YOUTUBE IT WAS ON PAIN IS LOVE TWO…. THE SONG ACTUALLY HAS MEANING AND IS THOUGHFUL UNLIKE THIS DUDES MUSIC JA FREE JA FREEEEEEEEEEE. AND TO ALL YOU THAT SAY JA IS A 2PAC WANT TO BE YOUR CRAZYYY. CAUSE I GUESS NATE DOG, JAY Z, NAS, AND TREACH ARE TWO FOR THE BACKWARDS BANDANNA ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER RAPPER THAT WAS ON TOP 97-2004 WHICH WAS JAY Z, JA RULE, NAS, AND DMX BEST ERA OF RAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP GET YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT YOU LITTLE FUCKS

      1. shows us the paperwork

        if there was any someone would have pulled it up by now like they did with william roberts correctional photos and files

    40. good interview. fif a funny dude. but real talk hes speaking the truth. still waitin for those aftermath releases

    41. It’s obvious 50 cough cough let me clear my through 5—–O cop yeah 50 lol has to do with the reason ja went to jail. He has Feds written all over him, and he lost all his street cred. Nextttttttttt. Just heard that Pray for the day from Ja’s pain is love 2 didn’t hear it before that shit is the truth. Holly shit

      1. nice try. ja got caught slipping and didnt have the paper to make his charges go away and had to pay the price. you cant blame that fuck niggas mistakes on 50 the gawd

    42. I think its so funny when people say 50’s irrelevant he does an interview and its all over hiphop blogs and has hundreds of comments

      1. He may not be popping musically but he’s still one of the worlds biggest rappers so when he speaks it will always be on blogs

    43. Real talk I respect 50’s hustle but needs to fix up his record label kidd kidd isn’t gonna make him money, 50 needs his own Meek Mill his own Drake someone who going to be hot and that could actually work in 50’s favour giving him a buzz

      1. I think he was referring to the fact that Meek has a buzz and is one of the popular names in rap like drake

      2. he had the buzz but he couldnt sell like drake because he put out a weak album that was forgotten a month after its release

      3. Meek made the mistake of putting out better stuff on mixtapes and releasing a garbage album. Literally a couple months after he released his album he let fans know another mixtape was coming. That itself showed even he knew his album was garbage.

        Too top it off he tried to get at Cassidy and the kid Cass killed any buzz Meek had left. Once Meeks street buzz got killed his whole rap career went down as well.

    44. even if you dont like him, respect Fif. ones of the greatest rappers of our time. popular artists now drake, nicki still have a long way to get the respect he has in hiphop.

      1. sold 6000 copies in the usa, probably 8000 worldwide LMAO get a life chump. thats one of the biggest fall offs in the history of rap

      2. You fans can laugh all you want but if you heard the album you would have known that it was some of his best stuff.

      3. it wasn’t even that good of an album… his other albums are way better… what are you taling about?

    45. There will be an album that sells 10m. He is not the first and won’t be the last. He flopped b/c he didn’t listen to Em and Dre and tried to cut them out once he got big.. He is a horrible executive producer..

      1. when did he cut them out? Dre and Em both were exec producers on BISD which was his worst selling album that still went gold. if you wanna call that a flop than every rick ross album is a flop

      2. i think what dude means is when 50 became a boss he really diddnt have em and dre mentoring his career like they did when he 1st came out.so 50’s music did suffer because of that.get rich or die trying was em and dre’s standards of music.everything else after that was 50’s standards.and wasen’t as good he cared more about the money.they did executive produce his albums but i think that was only really by title i know 50 and dre wernt even that close the last few years.but yea rick ross albums are flops he blows

    46. “Im making music because I love it and its why Im here”. That’s why 50 the realest nigga in the game cause he make shit from the heart and what he wanna hear, not like these trappin faggots like Gucci who admit they only in it for the money. 50 don’t need the money or to make music n he do it anyway, and fuck you weak ass niggas that think otherwise

    47. I’d punch that ja rule lover faggot that’s always on this site tha fuck out if Id ever see him too.

    48. Someone will sell 10mil again but it wont be in hip hop. Why? because hip hp fans are the least supportive fans out of all the genres. its all in the numbers. Out of all the genres to suffer from bootlegging, hip hop is the most affected. I dont agree with selling out but i see why artists like Nicki and Flo Rida did. When you market your music strictly to the hip hop audience, youll see your numbers go down after a while whereas, for instance Flo Rida, once he went pop hes had hit after hit after hit after hit and has consistent success with a pretty loyal fan base.

      Adele did it not too long ago and Susan Boyle did it as well. Will someone sell 10million again, yea and itll probably be a singer. The closest another rapper will get is Eminem

    49. Not to drift off topic, but I would like to remind people to go out and buy French Montana’s new album May 21st. French worked hard and really needs your hard earned money. He has 3 year old boy to feed and a baby mama to take care of. Also he is bringing back that real gritty NY rap that has been gone for so long. French is a man with a vision and he needs your help to make his vision a reality. French’s new album will forever change hip hop, it will have rappers look at themselves and realize that things get deeper than this rap shit (to use the words of the great Rick Ross). French Montana is going to save hip hop, he is that great light at the end of a dark dark tunnel.

    50. I am sorry to say but no black artist will sell that many records again. Off the top of my head the only one in the last couple of years that sold more than 5 million was Adele.

      Hip Hop has gotten to the point where artists give away free music via mixtapes so why would anyone buy an album from a rapper.

    51. 50 fans always talkin bout his OLD album sales from 10yrs ago, but here’s a good question. has 50 dropped an album in the last 5 yrs that is musically BETTER than Teflon Don or Deeper than rap?

      Bawse!!!!!!!!

      1. hahahahaha teflon don is a laughing stock, besides that one track with jay z….bought it and the only time i put it in is when im with my friends and we need a good laugh

      2. you didn’t answer the question, did you? All insults aside, 50 doesnt have an album in the last 5 yrs that can fuck with Teflon Don

        Bawse!!!!!!!!!

      3. He got throwaway songs and mixtape tracks that shit on everything Ross has ever released. And hes not a fake ass overweight cop.

        Ross snitched on someone thats why he crashed his whip into a building drunk with an unregistered gun and didnt even get a ticket.

      1. But if game did an interview and it was posted here it would get like 24 comments. mostly by you defending his bitch ass and all the bitch ass things he does.

        Wasnt game the one trying to get G-Unit back together a few months ago? Did you forget about that one?

    52. only chance 50 has is if he gets drake features cus we all know drake is the face of rap and runs the rap game. Drake is the only one that can sell and make hits drake will go down as the greatest of all time.

      1. Drake and Ja Rule both had numerous # 1 hits, albums and sold millions and went plat. You cant put Officer Ricky in the same box as them

      2. HAHAHAHAHA!! I know you’re a troll, but Drake is not the face of rap and doesn’t run shit. Drake’s not the only one who can sell and make hits; he will not go down as the greatest of all time, but the worst.

    53. 50’s career is OVER! He’s a bitch. My nigga Game destroyed this faggot and he’s still tryin to come back! Nigga don’t nobody wants to hear ur wack ass music so fall the fuck back 50! Ur career is officially over, you fucking faggot! You bitch ass nigga! FUCK YOU!! GGGGGGG-UNOT!!!

      1. You get so mad when people hate on your stripper game but you in here spewing hate for no reason. calling people faggot and shit. thats pretty weak. Especially considering YOUR FAV RAPPER WAS THE SONE TAKING HIS CLOTHES OFF FOR MONEY

      2. Oh noo! His RAP career is over. Boo hoo. Guess he’ll just have to stick with next level shit such as movies, books, audio company, energy drink company, and boxing promotions. Yea more like it. Rap? Na…I’m sure he’s straight. Y’all niggas can have that rap shit. Rap game is weak as fuck now anyway.

    54. This nigga is lame as fuck. Callin todays music pop. This bitch nigga done went pop with that candy shop years ago. This niggas last album went triple wood and now cant even get his shit released. Nigga shoulda stayed in his lane before Ross ethered his ass.

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

      1. ross tried to go pop but failed with that bullshit usher record and a bunch of others. id rather fall off after having sold millions and gone multi plat then be a gold selling artist my whole career like officer william roberts

      2. RICK ROSS HAS POLICE CONNECTIONS FROM HIS OLD JOB. WHY DO YOU THINK HE STILL HASNT BEEN CHARGED FOR THAT LOADED UNREGISTERED GUN HE DIDNT USE WHEN HE CRASHED HIS CAR INTO A BUILDING DRUNK AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY.

        HE EVEN GOT GUNPLAY TO SNITCH HOW ELSE YOU GET OFF A ROBBERY AND ASSAULT THATS ON VIDEO

      3. Hey loser, Curtis’ last album went gold, so if that’s a flop, your idol Rozay has been flopping his whole career.

    55. is this a subliminal? by those pedos do you mean me? i thought we had a genuine homosexual relationship but obviously not you broke my heart youngsta 🙁

    56. Nigga you also made pop music. You did songs with Justin timberlake. So what the fuck you talking about. besides every fan is fed up with your fake beefs to sell records and your so called gangster image. we know you have money. We know you a pimp. we know you have bitches. Your subject matter is always the same and boring. And you had just 1 dope album and fell off

      1. “every fan is fed up with your fake beefs to sell records and your so called gangster image.”

        i love it when 1 person tries to speak for every single fan

      1. Nigga please. Ja Rule will get help from every mainstream artist he can find to make his shit hot. Ja Rule ft. Tyga, ft. The Game, ft. Frenchy Montana, ft. Lil Wayne, ft. Nicki Minaj, ft. Rick ross, ft. Meek Mill, ft. 2 chainz. All on one album. For Ja Rule.

    58. 50 will always be that nigga.I dont care if he gonn sell any 10mil records again,probably he wont sell even 2millions again.But as far as hes sayin he got passion for the music im always gonn fuck with that,he dont really care if u like him or not anymore.Niggas say 50 went pop but they damn wrong,he could write a club/rnb song but in the meanwhile he would drop a street mixtape to please his loyal fans.Thats the difference with other rappers who lookin for mainstream success,they forget they old fans.50 never did.
      And of course he never went that gay swag thing that erbody else does,he stay that nigga,i dont find anything wrong with releasin some club hits,i cant understand u haters

      1. He’s so irrelevant you decided you needed to look and comment on a post about him. You making that comment is a contradiction in itself

      2. So irrelavent you took time out of your life to click on a 50 cent article and comment on it LOOL

    59. yes miss have you seen g unit the kids with the skateboard and back pack oh their at the game store playing t2 ok thanks

      1. meanwhile game album flopped and been forgotten about so hes on to a new mixtape 4 months later

    60. He sees that Hip Hop is going down the same path Rock & Roll did. Both were once music for the people. Both were grabbed by corporation. Now Hip Hop is being mainstreamed & watered down as rock was. There will still be acts that stay true & stick to making music after the popularity of the genre has declined & it’s no longer pop but another genre will have to take that place that Hip Hop once had.

    61. CURTIS JACKSON IS SO RETARDED,LOOOL. I LOVE THE WAY HE GETS ASKED A QUESTION & TRIES TO GIVE A RESPONSE LIKE HE IS SMART.HE JUST STUTTERS A BUNCH OF INCOHERENT WORDS WITH THAT SMURK SMILE. STUPID FOOL

      1. And if he walked up to you right now you probably look like that other white nerd kid he ran up on and would cop a plea on how “it’s the internet bro”. foh

      2. He actually says alot of thoughtful things, the problem is he talks like an executive, if you work in the corporate world you deal with people like this all day.

    62. So when Jay does a song with Justin, it’s a smooth R&B song and don’t hate on the white dude. But when 50 already did a song, that was successful, it’s a pop song, like 50 collaborated with N’SYNC.

      Bunch of hypocrites I tell you………..

      1. then you got kanye, big sean, busta rhymes, drake, raekwon and ludacris all doing songs with justin fucking bieber,

    63. you gotta love people like this anonymous faggot who has literally responded to every comment probably on this whole fucking site damn dude get a life stop trying to tell us about the rap game fool get some sun your white as fuck

      1. you realize you’re an ‘anonymous faggot’ too right?

        its not just one person for your information smart guy

    64. What a lot of people don’t realize that is the mainstream aspect of music. Hip-hop is still here, but as underground hip-hop, which is where it should be.

    65. 50 CENT IS WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO RELEASE “STREET KING IMMORTAL”…. ONCE HIS DOPE IS OUT …. 50 CENT WILL BE IN TOP OF THE GAME….

    66. Mc’s: Nas, A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Action Bronson, Drake, 50 Cent, Eminem, Jay-Z, Method Man, Talib Kweli, Kanye West, Scarface, Wale, etc.

      Rappers: Tyga, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, Nicky Minaj, Birdman, Gucci Mane, Trinidad James, etc.

      There’s a difference between a rapper and an MC.

      1. Where you at?, c’mon where you at?
        This is the difference between emceein’ and rap
        Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal
        Emcees spit rhymes to uplift their people
        Peace, Love, Unity, havin’ fun
        These are the lyrics of KRS-One..

      2. when you graduate from high school 2014?

        emcee’s: Rakim, Ice Cube, Scarface, Nas, Ghostface Killah, Tupac, Sean Price, i can go on for days..

        rapper: waka, soulja boy, 50 cent, lil wayne, rick ross, tyga, oj da juice, tony yayo, trinadad james, 2 chainz, mack miller, mgk etc

    67. bec hiphoppers are bums who bootleg shit. plus the music now is fuckin wack, why would ppl waste their money on BS keef albums. noone worth buyin is pushed except kendrick lamar (who i copped)

      other genres sell music bec their fans arent broke bums, who bootleg shit…simple.

      1. that’s why people like Macklemore sell thousands of albums…because he’s marketing to people who buy music.

    68. I ain’t even gon’ front, when 50 came out, shit was on my ipod like everyone else, I also had a lil love for the white boy. All of a sudden, BISD, then relapse, and recovery, oh, and Game disappeared after LAX. It’s like all of a sudden those major factors there contributed to the FUCKUP that is hiphop/rap today. Nobody can lie, Game, 50, and Em, fucking bumping shit in 06 07 even a lil in 09, they ran rap, then they ALL Fucked up. Stat quo, bobby creek, cashis, bishop lamont, obie, talented, TALENTED artists that would have kept hiphop high out of the reach from “kids” but you sAW how that turded out, eminem went FAGGOT, so did dre, 50 did too, now he wanna go back, ain’t happening, fuck faggot game too. deuces.
      WEST SIIIIIIDE

    69. this is a quote from 50 years ago: “I’m gonna take over the game by the time they get tired of me ill be sitting on $100 million.”. Done. And he did it in just 6/7yrs. Instead of hatin. Be inspired like he is.

    70. I got respect for 50 and I agree with him. Rap music has gone downhill dramatically. The first time it was in 06, then in 2011……too many nontalented mufukas runnin the game. DO i really need to name names? And EMinem is a top 5 best rapper ever. Check his resume

    72. Fif been beat up, stabbed, shot up, sold out Prime and snitched on Chris and Irv. He has yet to have done anything to anybody outside of make diss tracks but he his the realist nigga out… sorry but I can’t buy that. I respect his hustle but the path he chose to get where he is deserves no respect. Yea he has a gazillion dollars and gained enough power to shut people out of the music industry. People should at least admit he got smashed on the streets. Again… who has he shot or stabbed???

      1. ” He has yet to have done anything to anybody outside of make diss tracks”

        ask ja rule and gunplay about that. he took both they chains

      2. “ask ja rule and gunplay about that”

        LOL the 2 weakest niggaz in the game, my grandmammy would take both they chains.

    73. Not to drift off topic, but I would like to remind people to go out and buy French Montana’s new album May 21st. French worked hard and really needs your hard earned money. He has 3 year old boy to feed and a baby mama to take care of. Also he is bringing back that real gritty NY rap that has been gone for so long. French is a man with a vision and he needs your help to make his vision a reality. French’s new album will forever change hip hop, it will have rappers look at themselves and realize that things get deeper than this rap shit (to use the words of the great Rick Ross). French Montana is going to save hip hop, he is that great light at the end of a dark dark tunnel…

      1. you already said that punk. no one cares you not funny but its good to see someone mocking french montana

    74. GIVE ME A CHANCE
      Youtube is all about finding new artist, & though I been rapping for a while im still consider a new artist. I just want my music heard thats all, im not looking for no record deal, getting famous ‘r anything like that.! so please just spare a few sec. to check me out, & if you like what you heard please SUBSCRIBE so ill know you actually listen & support
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzBh55tD_eg

    75. Fif is right again

      Im tellin ya for a guy who was grimey and shit at the start, hes truly become a good ambassador for hip hop

      Before Em , we all thought hip hop and rap was the stuff ghetto people did

      Em brought that shit into the mainstream… into middle America and the world

      1. Em was as ghetto and grimey as they come. All it took for Fitty was a million dollar investment deal with vitamin water and poof! he wasn’t so grimey anymore.

      2. 50 still grimey as ever. you can take him out the hood but you cant take the hood out of 50.

        the guy had french montana cancel his album listening party at interscope cause he was in the building lookin for him, went bowling with gunplays chain then put it on an 8 year old kid in his video. tell me that aint grimey

      1. Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore, The Roots just had an album go platinum, Adele, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Biebs…

      2. that roots album came out in 1999 and just went plat in 2013. great example. 14 years in the making for their 1st platinum album so it dont really count. and i was referring to rappers.

    76. Humble, but let’s be honest, I’ll be surprised if the rest of the albums he sell in his career even add up to one million.

      1. cmon man. when he drops that greatest hits in a few years that shit is gonna fly off the shelves

    77. “my grandmammy would take both they chains”

      Ja Rule would put your grandmammy in a headlock until her pacemaker went out.

    78. 50 Cent is so irrelavent that some of you took time out of your own life to sit on a hiphop site read what he has to say and comment to call him “Irrelavent” clearly he can’t be that irrelavent if he has your attention

    79. 50 has had his time the first cd get rich or die trying classic the second cd sold only because the public was looking for that same type gangsta club bangers and 50 gave us his Ja Rule type sing rap style , its over 50 you not that hungery rapper and you not gangsta you coperate now , Stop hating on everybody thats hot i look at rap as entertainment and Rozay is blazing hot everything he touch! Miami stand up

      1. y’all niggas are idiots if you think massacre was whack…go listen a gain and tell what album in the lat 5 years is better than massacre

      2. I agree. The Massacre was a dope ass album, faggots are always gonna hate. Of course it’s gonna have some commercial ass songs on there, just like every other single album does you fucking morons!

    80. I wanna bust in Eminem’s ass.

      1. Ya acting like any rapper will sell that much anymore… LMAO. Not with you bum ass leaches always stealing music!

    81. Y’all are silly if you think 50 stole Ja’s style of singing on the track. You don’t know much about 50 before Get Rich or Die Trying. The Power of the Dollar, his first album was full of hooks that was in that same fashion before Ja really got on.

    82. Of course he wouldn’t sell that much. And that’s great that he would admit that because NOBODY will sell that much again. 50’s still the shit, and I wish he would drop his album.

    83. Honestly nobody is going to be selling albums like that in hiphop ever again. Especially in the gangster rap genre. This is because everyone is all of the would be buyers are busy stealing everything that comes out. The really sad part is that now that everyone wants music for free, these artists keep making mixtapes, giving away music,in hopes to stay relevant and hope to hell it increases sales for them later down the road.

      The fans are what is killing hiphop, not the artists.
