Has Any Elite Artist Got Pushed Back As Long As Curtis Jackson?

[OG Talk]

He hasn't had a retail release since 2009...



Thats an enternity in hip hop...


Just to put that in perspective 2 Pac was only really active from '92-'96... This dude has been pushed back by Interscope for longer than Pac had a solo career!




50 hasn't had an album release since Drake, J. Cole, Kendrick and Wale became signed recording artists...



This dude has been locked out of competition from an entire era of hip hop..

All of the former elite artists that "fell off" have gotten releases since BISD (in some cases several releases)

Nelly
Luda
T.I.
Jeezy
Busta

and still gets daily threads

 

[I'mHigh]

His fans just stopped checking for his music. It's sad because I'm one of them.

50 is one of my all time favorite rappers. I'll stan him til the death of me. But truth is I haven't checked for his music in years

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

Yea it's not like a DMX situation where he just took a break from music.

50 has been ACTIVELY trying to put an album out and has weathered failed attempt after failed attempt and is STILL trying.

I feel like it's gonna come out this year though. But who knows.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Yes. Dr. Dre.

*jadakiss laugh* Longer than 2pacs career? you aint have to do 50 like that

 

[50CentStan]

50 is a special case, him being the Greatest musical artist of all time and all, we still

Mike Vick was still in prison for dog fighting last time 50 had an album...

Chris Brown was still Americas light skinned golden child..

Obama had a head full of Black hair..


Tyreke Evans was the best young guard in the NBA...



I can do this all day

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

Not for nothin but this thread kinda reminds me of when BISD was ready to drop.

Wasn't the worst song ever but Baby By Me was such a struggle single.

 

[Wild self]

When Fif dropped his last album, J Cole was only on mixtapes.

When Blackberry was still a decent phone in the US

When youtube only had 10 minute videos

When Chief Keef was still in school

 

[mortuus est]

I dont think 50 needs to make another album like that, he caking off them singles even if everyone is not on it like that


murder my numbers mixtape was better than life is good and jayz magna album

this is a special case tho.can just call fif an artist like he j cole an shyt.son has more bread than every name used in your argument combined.and is a bigger celebrity than those dudes who get called relevant right now.i got peoples in Nigeria and Paris who know who 50 cent is like they know who angelina jolie is but dont know kendrick or cole or watever.son doing his numbers elsewear.i wouldnt even put out an album if i was him.just let my work stay wear it stands and cake off on film and tv.he the only "artist" that can make the forbes list be on daytime talk shows msnbc, leno n letterman without an album out for years at a time.thus he is more relevant than your favorite artist outside of jay-z and kanye.

no album in sight my nikka

Keep going breh

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Here's a different perspective.... who cares when other artists don't get pushed back like JayZ but releases wack albums?

 

[TheLoneRanger]

YOU DO REALIZE 50 IS THE ONE HOLDING THE ALBUM UP. JIMMY DON'T GIVE A shyt ABOUT HIM ANYMORE NOW HIS POPULARITY HAS GONE DOWN AND HE CAN'T MAKE MONEY FROM HIM.
