Nobody said they were. But you know Jimmy was looking at those tapes like wheres my money?The mixtapes weren’t even original music. . It was mostly borrowed beats. Talk about greediness![]()

You know I worked for 50 and G Unit right? There was absolutely pressure from Iovine and them. 50 went and found the I get money beat himself from apex and it blew so they had to cave. They also hated the mixtapes as they got no money from them
I was there. Where were you?50 dropped I Get Money cos he had flop after flop
If the other singles worked, he would not have needed I Get Money
Of course labels don't want mixtapes they're not earning from. Of course labels want commercial singles
50 always been about that bread. If he thinks bubblegum Candy Shop music is selling, he finna drop bubble gum candy shop music
He only pivoted when none of his other singles on Curtis gained any traction
It's disingenuous to pretend he was fighting against it
He was even doing sing song joints on the mixtapes, so you can't front that this was a label invention
You mean, Wu Tang Clan??![]()
I was there. Where were you?
Dre wanted 21 questions on there. 50 didn’t want that track on there but Dre convinced himyou can't say it was label pressure cos he took pride in doing the highest numbers and being the biggest in the game
no one had to twist his arm to get candy shop and amusement park and all that garbage music
yeah it popped numbers in the short term, but the fans realised it was bullshyt music and he never regained them
remember Dre didn't want 21 Questions - he thought that was the wrong image. 50 made the final decision to include it and put it out as a single. that was the right call
but he took it too far with all that other bubble gum shyt. he became ja rule
its too charitable to blame the labels for that

News is still rolling out from 50 Cent’s latest radio interview on “Big Boy’s Neighborhood.” Yesterday (Jan. 16), a clip went viral of the “In Da Club” rapper admitting that Dr. Dre didn’t want him to include the song “21 Questions” on his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
“He said, ‘I don’t know why you want it’ …Why I wanted the record,” 50 confirmed. “Dre would say, ‘This is N.W.A. just with one member. We didn’t do that.’ Like they didn’t have to reach to make a commercial record or anything that sounded like a commercial record. And that’s just in his DNA. Like on his path, he’s like, ‘We don’t need that.’”
There was another interview where he said the opposite. 50 thought the track would make the album look weak. But Dre said there’s nothing wrong with it.That's not true. He told Big Boy the opposite.

Exactly. Why i said he should have pivoted to hate it or love it and hustlers ambition style ish but he wasnt allowed to. So he went behind his labels back and was dropping ish like war angel lp, sabrina's baby boy after they put an end to the g unit radio series.G Unit fell off because they isolated themselves from the nikkax who had the sound at the time. They ran that Dre shyt into the ground and it got stale after 06. Truth be told the last gasp was “Out Of Control Remix” before 50 fumbled about and got to “I Get Money” after 8 tries the following year
His collaborators at the time should’ve been Toomp, Runners, Ye, Drumma Boy, Khaled, Wayne etc..but he approached shyt like Rza was during peak years…solo? Do what you want but as a team we eat alone
That shyt has an expiration date considering no one’s gravity is enough to sustain a career on its own
