Am I missing something? Is 50 Cent still relevant in the rap game?

Aggressive content is always relevant in whatever space the rap game occupies at any given point in time.

I honestly can't believe that people are still using that retarded "only white people listen to _____" argument. That shyt went out the window as soon as Drake, Wayne, Kanye and Hov became the hottest in the game. You can't find a whiter fanbase than these 4 (except the obvious).

That argument makes no sense at all. Its not 2005 anymore...

All those except for Jay I see as being true. I think cats like Nas, Jay, Ross, Jeezy are supported by alot more black folks.

Been to Ross and Jay shows. Both have a lot of different races in they crowd (out in Cali anyway). Which ain't a bad thing. Just means they achieved the mainstream success they wanted they whole career.

quick question future is considered whats hot,how many albums has he sold?

In this era, no one is selling shyt unless you Hov, Em, Kanye, Cole, Kendrick, and (maybe) Ross. Fif was lucky that people still had 56k modems when he dropped, on top of him taking advantage of the public's thirst for gangsta rap in 2002. New era, different rules. I gotta admit, he got stans that love is music and his stans harp on how much money he has. :mjlol:

Face it, Fif's record sales peaked when the digital era came along. He is the last of a dying breed of gangsta rap.

I could care less about the nikka money, I came up on lyracism, reality rap, emotion in music, and street shyt. 50 gives a lil bit of all of that when he is on his shyt which is rare nowadays, when he is he is a great NY MC. I see no issue with the rest of the stuff you said, you are correct sir lol.

I rather listen to Jadakiss if I want all that shyt. He does it better than Fif in every aspect, IMO :manny:
