50 Was Hot for 4 Years. Irrelevant for Past 11 Years

[JayGatsby]

and yet he still dominates your mind

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Is Power irrelevant?

Musically


Yes

 

[Collateral]

50 still got bangers though. I’m The Man is one of the top 5 hardest songs of 2016. And he’s still the same 50 cent we’ve been hearing since 2000. That gritty, aggressive shyt. He’ll never be what he was lyrically back in 03 to 07 but he doesn’t have to be. He’s already cemented his name in hip hop in that shirt amount of time.

50 literally has had a hit like once a year

50 has made some of the best music of his career the past few years, but nikkas sleep. Animal Ambition and The Kanaan Tape were full of piff.

 

[Majestic]

Going gold with several classic mixtapes in 2002
Dropping one of the hottest songs ever released
Going almost Diamond with his classic debut
Introducing his own label and having his artists going plat and multi-plat
Having Jay retiring in 2003
Going almost Diamond with his sophomore album
Banking the biggest deal ever for a rapper until Dre sold Beats to Apple


Imagine the hate from these crab ass rappers

more details on this?

Is this the biggest hot to irrelevant ratio in hip hop history?

Last hit was 2007's I Get Money

Ever since then
-20+ singles flopped
-last album sold 36k
-filed for bankruptcy
-SMS audio cost him $9M in a lawsuit
-50Central was a flop
-G-Unit reunion flopped


As a G-unit Stan from 2003 this hurts

then 50 was hot.. he was HOTTER then any artists i've ever seen buzz wise.. besides maybe a lil wayne.. at the pinnacle of his career.. he was hands down the guy... that rarely happens in hip hop with all the competition out

 

[BK The Great]

GRODT > most of his discography

But there's some gems scattered through out his catalog. that album is undeniable tho.
