I don’t really think that’s the point though. The point is in 2026, 50 Cent is totally incapable of making appealing music unless it’s for a TV show. Fab can get in the booth right now like he has. 50 is Marlo at the end of The Wire — loaded with money and nothing else.
I'd rather be rich at 50 than still rapping :yeshrug:He accomplished his goal

Not saying that but him being rich doesn't mean he has to be a wack MC either.
50 is not a wack MC. He just fell off musically and is focused on other business ventures. He can still rap if he wants like Snoop, but who really buys Snoop albums? Snoop kept making music after he fell off. 50 is smart. He has classic music he can tour off of if and when he wants. Most 50 year old rappers with as much money as 50 arent making new music anymore besides Snoop, Nas and Em. If you're a legacy act like Drake, 50, Jay-Z, Nelly, etc. you don't need to though. You already proven what you needed to prove in rap. You don't need to prove anything else once your name is solidified.

What that has to do with responding to a freestyle?

His rap disses to ja rule were wack in and of themselves. He didn't defeat murder inc through a music standoff... that nuance seems to be getting lost by history

Remember the pre hype for the massacre when it was initially supposed to be The St Valentines Day massacre cause he was supposedly going to massacre a bunch of foes...supposedly lol. Then he dropped that dud Piggy Bank

50 never was anything other than a hype job spectacle



He never won a single rap battle he was involved in outside of Ja. And you could make a case for Ja if you ignored the results of being run over by a hype train:mjlol:

Horrible example because Snoop been garbage for a long time at rapping:mjlol:


Difference is 50 was never that good at rapping to begin with like Snoop. So it makes sense for Snoop to still try. What doesnt add up is how you have the hunger to troll and do memes,but not rap? Is trolling and memes not youth culture:mjlol:

Agree to disagree about 50 as a rapper :yeshrug:He's in media now and uses his voice how he has always used it. He's a villain stiil. Just on a different platform. Still entertaining as he's always been which is why you're in this thread.

If he fell off musically that means he's wack now. It's not rocket science. You want to talk about historically when it doesn't apply. Fab just took a shyt on him lyrically, now he has something to prove. His back catalog isn't going to help him.

Ja and irv looked silly cosplaying gangstas when a real one was on they case they couldn't do nothing with . Couple that with a mass marketing campaign with infinite funding to spotlight this and it was game over


Back down and i smell p*ssy were serviceable enough...i guess. They weren't enough to bury murder inc though. To be clear Im not saying he didn't win... im saying it wasn't the music that won it for him.
