50 cent is still selling out arenas in 2023?

[Max Power]

I'm more shocked that people are surprised that 50 is still selling out.

Were you babies/in your basement during his 2000s run?

Of course he selling tours, his fanbase is diverse. His mainstream songs still hold up today for his super fans. He took over the early and mid 2000's. Jay & DMX were running the late 90's and then Em came around the same time and signed 50 and the the rest was history. He basically adopted his fans.

GRODT didn’t come out 25 years ago

A bunch of c00ns and CACs worshipping G Unit like they better than Wu Tang, Public Enemy, NWA, and Ruff Ryders.

Swear to God that yall stay trying to appeal the approval of a white man subconsciously (Eminem).

50 Stay performing in a sea of CACs that hate black folk. At least Nas can still sell MSG with no problem.

 

[King Poetic]

Not surprised

Canada and other countries outside of the US will embrace real hip hop from the 80s and 90s and early 2000s unlike the US

My lady bought us tickets, 50 is a legend, it's a hip hop classic

Wu-tang tour all over the world, recently Method Man had to check a racist Greek fan who called him up for not showing up for the show in Greece

I remember back when GRODT dropped and MTV was not yet a reality tv cesspool, they were in Malaysia and everyone knew about 50. Most 90’s 00’s rappers would sell out shows outside the U.S.

I went to the Montreal show is was a family show, you had kids the 40 ish crowd

 

[Womb Raider]

My girl had the when I bought my tickets for his concert in CT


She has no idea what tf she’s talking about

 

[UpThruDere]

Got my tickets for the August 19 show in Tampa

 

[Digital Omen]

Brehs act like In Da Club isn't in the basic Becky and Brad canon right next to Just a Friend, Baby Got Back, and Gin & Juice.
Cacs LOVE those records and to them seeing 50 is the same as the Backstreet Boys, idols they grew up with.

 

[boskey]

People are surprised becuz ever since 2005 people have mainly talked about how bad he fell off. But he never stopped being a superstar...

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

That lil clip he sounded awful live, just like he sounded awful on that new Nas album

 

[Pseudonym]

Everybody that’s going better post pics or you’re

Spoiler

I’m trying to get this to catch on, I stood up for her silly ass at first

 

[Slim]

You’re seeing a lot of acts that hard massive runs in late 90’s and early 2000s touring well right now.

Millennials now have the income and are nostalgic for their coming of age music. Perfect combo.


Also…every other genre of music celebrates and supports their Legacy acts. It’s a good thing hip hop is doing so too.
