So when is hip hop gonna admit that Kanye West ended 50 Cent's career?

fif my dude, but he ended his own career

Nah son Curtis was supposed to destroy Ye in the charts. Granted, I think it sold more overseas but that was at a time when 50 Cent was the biggest rapper in the world so that's to be expected.

Kanye made 50 look stupid

Graduation>>>Curtis, i still remember buying Graduation on the first week it dropped, i had the shutter glasses too, lol. The Kanye/50 rivalry is easily the biggest Hip-Hop memory of my 10th grade year

Been meaning to make this thread... 50 went downhill from Curtis... but he coulda bounced back with good music... didnt happen

you think so, by 07 50 was already becoming irrelevent to the mainstream, he flopped on 2 singles (straight to the bank, amusement park) before he cought some steam with i get money, but the only thing keeping 50 relevent at the time was the competiton with kanye, cause with out that the shit still would have sold, what it sold

 

[TRILLip Brooks]

btw, 50 never fell off musically, he still drops bangers, he just doesn't sell as much as he used too

Dude lost his aura. 50 fucked up by not dropping I Get MOney as the lead single. If he would ahve did that, there would have been no contest.

Meanwhile, Yeezy dropped Stronger right off the back which IMO is one of his dopest singles all time. That shit is a club smasher. Then he came out with Cant Tell Me Nothing and on the release day, he dropped Good Life. Chess moves by Yeezy.

50 aint been shit since Curtis dropped. The world saw that 50 could be beaten. By a metrosexual, lispy broke wrist diva no less. Niggas stop fearing 50. Without intimidation, 50 is just a rich nigga that's bored.

Rozay nailed the coffin shut though with his success.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

TRUTH though.

 

[Mr.LV]

50 cent forgot how super arrogant kanye west could be and 50 cent said he would retire if kanye sold more but he did not retire so in the end it just made him look like a liar.

Shit just dont sound the same to me..

 

[Mr.LV]

no more hit records is what ended 50's career. The fanbase these days don't give a dam about who you beef w/ or how many records you sold more than the next nigga. All they care about is the music. 50 just aint doing that no more.

He too busy releasing this bullshit:[video=youtube;76ztFyqScF4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76ztFyqScF4[/video]

oh Gawd Wack juice watch the throne first day cop

 

[jackthemack]

rawse ended fif's career

Nah Ross just pronounced his time of death. Kanye had effectively maimed 50 to where he was just bleeding out

 

[jackthemack]

The Massacre was a weak album too tho. If we gonna keep it really real, 50 Cent only has his debut and that's pretty much it. His catalog is terrible.

Naw, naw, can't een co-sign that one....

 

[Kame]

I think people never say it like that cause they still think fif can make a comeback... he kinda did with that jerimih track too.. now that over lets see what he do with it

 

[TRILLip Brooks]

the massacre is a good album, it just came right after get rich, which everybody was expecting him to do again. the only problem with is, it was too long and the singles were horrible

Power of The Dollar

GRODT

The Massacre

Curtis

BISD

He started this mixtape shit that niggas is on right now. 50 Cent and G-Unit were the first artist who made actual songs on their mixtapes and not just freestyles. 50 Cent and G-Unit have had over 5 mixtapes go platinum. How is that a terrible catalog?

 

[jackthemack]

Cuz one The Massacre was terrible. Curtis was terrible. Before I Self Destruct is BOOTY CHEEKS.

But you said his catalog is terrible and that would include his mixtapes. 50 has had mixtapes that are better and have sold better than most artist albums.

 

[truth spitter]

yea 50's singles werent poppin like that for Curtis, that's the main reason he started beefing with Kanye...50 smart..he knew piggy backin off Kanye would help his sales
