It has nothing to do with 50, the thugged out generation is gone/grown up breh, and so are most of the white girls who were into that sh*t in college/high school. 2003 was 10 years ago. You need to take a walk in most of your major hoods and see what's goin' on. Jeezy, 50, Game, etc all these gangsta rapper types are not gonna move units anymore. Chief Keef blew off a few singles, he's gonna come back down to earth soon enough. You have to make hipster/c00n/faq music in order to sell, and these days it's still pretty hard to sell big. You are better off appealing to your core fan base and keep it moving.
,even with a song that ANYBODY could make a hit out of, he can't.
Is Ross really selling like that? 50 could still make a gold album, but the days of 8x platinum are over, it's not happening, no matter if he releases a record with Adele signing the hook, it's not gonna happen. And for the record, last time I was in the Chi, I heard Major Distribution on WGCI at least 5 different times , I actually found out about the song from radio, not internet. People just aren't buying records these days, it's too easy to download. Better to have a core fanbase and do tours, or appeal to the older generation who isn't that internet savvy.
50 don't f*ck with b*tch azz nikkas, f*ck the record sales 
That's why I respect him so much, so many b*tch azz rappers would be quick to sell out. Wayne and Kanye tried to holla at him and the nikka was like 
It's his last album, Interscope don't wanna put it up because of contractual obligations, it's like the running back they keep on the sidelines because if he hits 1,500 yards they gotta pay him a bonus, since obviously this album is not gonna go 8x plat, they'll just let this drag on as long as possible while investing money in artists signed to "I f*cked myself permanently for a benz" 360 contracts.I suggest you take your own advice. Gangsta rap never stopped being the dominant type of music to get burn in the hood. Chance the rappers & Chilish Gambino types might be doing huge college tours but where I'm from a bum drill rapper like Edai is bigger then both them nikkas put togetherIt has nothing to do with 50, the thugged out generation is gone/grown up breh, and so are most of the white girls who were into that sh*t in college/high school. 2003 was 10 years ago.
