    Sway Says 50 Cent “Probably Outgrew Interscope”

    MTV host and radio personality Sway Calloway recently shared his thoughts on 50 Cent’s departure from Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records during an interview with XXL magazine.

    According to Sway, the Queens rapper’s split from Interscope Records, which comes after he was signed for 12 years, may have been a matter of 50 outgrowing his label home. Additionally, Sway says it’s possible that 50 Cent’s relationship with Interscope may have hindered the rapper’s success over the past few years.

    “50 has always been honest about his relationship with Interscope,” Sway said. “When things weren’t going well he spoke out about it…I think honestly, I feel like 50 probably outgrew Interscope. The business mind that he’s developed over the years, you know? And he’s a master at branding. He always has been. And I don’t think we’ve seen the success from him in recent years that he had in the past years. And perhaps a lot of that may have to do with that relationship.”

    Despite news of 50’s label departure, Sway expressed his confidence in the rapper he says has always “shown and proved.”

    “In terms of what it means for Hip Hop, that’s just one more of us who are taking matters in their own hands and becoming autonomous in controlling everything,” he said. “Why not? I mean, he’s his own creation. And he’s shown and proved that he knows what he’s doing. He knows the world of business. He’s been very successful at it. And honestly man, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ was one of my—I would say album of the millennium for me. I remember when 50 mania first broke we were very instrumental in helping him with that exposure with radio and with MTV.”

    Last week it was announced that 50 Cent had left Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment, and Interscope Records, and signed an exclusive worldwide distribution and services agreement with Caroline/Capitol/UMG.

    “I have had great success to date with Shady/Aftermath/Interscope and I’d like to thank Eminem and Dr. Dre for giving me an incredible opportunity,” 50 Cent said in a statement, according to the Associated Press. “I’ve learned so much from them through the years. I am excited to enter this new era where I can carry out my creative vision.”

    1. Damn dis nigga 50 got more press in 1 day than Rozay has had in weeks, and he got an album coming out next week. He should fake another shooting to get his name in the news or beatup another 90 pound white girl for calling him a fake.

    47. Another perspective of an industry professional

      notice how it is different than this “Quote-Man” who has been trying to convince us all that he knows the precise dealings of this situation when is fact a pure outsider

      that’s when you realize this “Quote-Man” is not who he claims to be, a successful, all-knowing being who is living a marvelous life on Earth

      but displays adolescent, sheltered, & project bench hoe theories on the internet

      think about it

      5. “Pathetic retard dedicating a post to some stranger on a website”

        ^ LOL

        ain’t that what you just did? Like, what internet comment section do YOU know everyone who comments?

        Ya do know a reply is “dedicating a post to some stranger on a website”, RIIIGHT?

    49. It’s not hard knowing the facts about 50 when his inactivity has stretched for over 4 years. His G Unit buddies do interviews basically saying they hate him, and he only announced his new deal the day Interscope told him to get lost. If you have any perspective to add, be my guest, but your rage is shockingly apparent, and actually quite sad. I type a few words and you fly off the handle to a stranger, as another poster wisely pointed out. You must be the hit of every party your parents throw lol

      1. “His G Unit buddies do interviews basically saying they hate him,”

        When and where? No one even interviews those bums!

        “he only announced his new deal the day Interscope told him to get lost. ”

        More speculation with no proof, you sound sad and lonely.

    50. He probably did outgrow them, but that shit eventually just died off. Y’all can bring all his record sales up and act like he’ll do that shit all over again, but truth is this nigga will flop whether he stays on Interscope or leaves

      Reply

      3. ^^ Which is sad but true. If you niggas are expecting him to do those kind of numbers again, then y’all just living fantasies. Not even Eminem is selling like he used to.

        Reply

      4. chances are he might not see another gold album in his life unless he makes a huge hit and even then, people buy singles and not albums so ya never know.

        either way you cant take away what he accomplished in such short time, not many rappers can say they sold 30 million in less than 10 years. i think he still has the best selling debut rap album in history.

        Reply

      6. i said debut, as in first album…

        “In the album’s first week of release, The Slim Shady LP sold 283,000 copies, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 chart behind TLC’s FanMail.”

      1. Like people care if you listen or not. It’s funny to see how haters of a certain artist post in these respective artist’s articles. retard.

        Reply

      1. Well artists who still release good music always get new fans. You don’t make any sense retard. Of course some fans will get older and may stop listening, but other fans will come along and listen. 50 Cent just hasn’t made any good music in recent years if we compare to his earlier work.

        Now get a fuckin brain ffs.

    94. hate see what will happen Eminem when he get push to side he getting old now and Kendrick is new big thing now shady records is not what it was hope that day never happens like it did for 50

      4. And what was Shady Records? Take away 50 Cent and Shady looks no better than Nelly’s imprint.

        50 Cent was not a Shady Records manufactured artist, he came with a brand and a buzz and a following. D12 had Eminem as a member, that’s why they thrived. Who else popped at Shady? SH & Yelawolf can’t pop now!
