The Biggest Myth in HipHop is that JaRule's career ended because of 50Cent.

[Tupacfan]

and that's just a myth.....

 

[5th Letter]

"Wanksta" dropped in 2002. And the record-sales dont support your statement..unless

50Cent was at the peak of his career when he debuted and after Ghostface released the "Clyde Smith" skit on "Supreme Clientele" his career has been in a decline.

Lets say Ghostface destroyed 50-Cents rap-career...or Game did it with the G-Unot movement.

last temptation went platinum in 2002, r.u.l.e went gold so since wanksta ja rule's sales dropped. before wanksta he dropped 2 3x plat albums.

[QUOTE=H-Rap 180;2738893]They wasnt built for war, they didnt have enough real-rhymers, how you gonna go at the great-white-hype, the underdog, and a legend like Bussa-Buss when you been making pop-tart music for the last 2 albums?



But lets look at the math:

"Venni Vetti Vicci"(1999) = Platinum

"Rule 3:36" =(2000) 3X Platinum

"Pain is love" = (2001) 3X Platinum

"The Last Temptation" (2002) = Platinum

"R.U.L.E" = (2004) Gold

______________________________

"Get Rich or Die Tryin" (2003) = 8X Platinum

"The Massacre" = (2005) 5X Platinum

"Curtis" = (2007) Platinum

"Before I Self Destruct" (2009) Gold

Who had the harder fall-off??

Who had the more loyal fanbase??

Who had the more consistent career??



You got Emenim on your left-side, you got Dr Dre on your right-side and Jimmy Iovine (Interscope) behind you; how can you explain losing 1 million fans for every year of your rap-career??

I totally agree with the bolded. Ja was not that type of dude and when he tryed to get grimy after he was doin songs Like Mesmerize it was like NIGGA PLEASE.

Also Ja's fall from grace will always be the worse of all time. The book on Ja is CLOSED and the verdict is still out on 50 so its not over yet

ja rule's mistake was that he went away from what made him pop in the first place. i mean he went from making joints like this

this explains why it was a myth that 50 cent ended ja rule's career

Okay lets use sound judgement:

You said "Fall from Grace", one rapper debuts Platinum and retires Gold, another rapper debuts 8X platinum and is sitting at Gold as of 2009..........

If numbers are an indication of public interest and 50Cent has been prooven to lose half his fans with every successive album he releases then "Black Magic" is on pace to move 250,000 and if it does it will be considered the worst fall off for a 5 album catalog in the history of rap music.

Ja-Rule dropped his 5 albums and bowed out now its 50's turn to drop his 5th album.

i know 50 regressed as an artist and his albums sounded like worst versions of get rich or die trying, but at least 50 was smart enough to not totally alienate his core fans. he still dropped mixtapes putting out grimy songs, he still put hard joints on his albums while still catering to the mainstream.

Mixtapes??

he has shown zero artistic growth in his lyrics and song-writing skills, a rapper that is smart like JayZ has the ability to find new fans and still maintain some of his core fanbase, a rapper like 50cent is doomed to lose more fans with the more music that he puts out.

He lost the streets, so he cant compete with Rozay and at 36 he is out of touch with the youth, (LiL Wayne) his music lacks the maturity of a Nas or the enjoyability of a Ludacris, or the appeal of Emenim but he can still get a few sympathy-sells from Emenim/Dr Dre fans but after his new album flops its time to retire like............................. Ja-Rule.

the underlined is true. but his mixtapes are him going back to the essence of what made people like him in the first. i felt 50 should make more mature sounding music like this.

instead of collabos with soulja boy

 

[gee757]

50 aint lose the streets he only lost geeks,bandwagon fans and em fans

[video=youtube;DYzh9g2_rJc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYzh9g2_rJc[/video]
