People say 50 doesn't care about music now, it's just all about the money. Last i checked when he was popular in music and dropping albums he was ALWAYS in the top 5 every year of hip hop earners. He was up with diddy and jay z. Now he is in the yearly income bracket with mac miller and jeezy...damn.
Being relevant musically brings in $$$
He did NOTHINg last year though.
