Official 50 Cent Sirius XM Town Hall Q & A Thread (Full interview out NOW)

[b@squ1@t]

yall skippin the dopest line of the convo.."when jay signed the beyonce contract"


beyonce boosted jay's career more than he ever did

and@ 50 bizarro stans admitting their feathers have been ruffled

shyt is too easy

 

[Jayson_bourn]

Yeah it's a coincidence that Hov made a song about killing nikkas during the peak of 50's career.. when that was all 50 and G-Unit use to rap about

This is why he retired: "50 Cent is coming"

Yeah i'm not disputing that at all. I have a post on the first page that says so. I thought we were talking about "threat", the inspiration of it and which song is the better one.

I say threat is better. I also say that having a comedian on the track doesn't fit well with G units "harsh realities" and "aggressive content"..in fact the whole thing is a dam fairy tale, and that comes off as intentional to me.

You say heat is better, and that's cool with me. I just don't think its better from a lyrical standpoint.

 

[scuba]

It does make a lot of sense. If Ether never happened Jay might have felt comfortable enough to get at 50 and compete directly but since he would be coming off a loss and 50 a win (against Ja) it was too risky. By the time Jay came out of "retirement," G Unit was crumbling, 50 had fallen from mega-superstar to just rap star, a major move away from 50s style of music was occurring, and Jay had taken the time away from the Booth to craft a new persona, myth and legacy around himself. If there ever was a need for a direct engagement he would be ready. Of course, it didn't happen and here we are today.....

I dont think jigga even denies this... jigga is on his real professional stylo... he is not going to beef with 50 for 'rep' or to 'swing swords'. Jigga has been 'that dude' in rap many many times for short stints... there is almost always someone 'bigger' than him, he knows how to get out their way, maintain his number 2 status and then resurge when the number 1 dude falls off... if you think about it... Jigga came out -> Biggie and Pac was running it...Nas was running it... Next phase DMX was running it... Next Phase Nelly was running it... Next Phase 50 Cent was running it... Next Phase Lil Wayne was running it... Next phase Drake was running it... One could add Ja Rule and Kanye to that list... and its not like jigga didnt have his runs, dude is like the defacto running it guy who falls back everytime someone elses peak comes in...

Jigga always knows how to fall back and ally himself with folks at their peak... and when he does beef with someone he waits until they are at their weakest and he has the most ammo... he dont go against you when you got a chance of winning... he either crushes you before you can get all the way on, or kicks some dirt on you once your in the gutter...

Only time he slipped up was going at nas... and really nas was in an absolutely unwinnable position... dude was out of popularity, didnt know how to make a 2001 era hit, with most of the new fans feeling he was oldschool, and most of the oldschool fans saying he fell off through trying to go commercial, and jigga had the ultimate possible ammo on nas... jigga never expected nas to respond to takeover directly... the whole u know who did you know what with you know who was literally supposed to be the guarantee... nas just reacted irrationally and somehow the fans got behind him.

Jigga learns from his mistakes he aint gonna do that again... he gonna stick with the 'ohhh you running rap now? aight cool... i will be back for the throne when you fall off' strategy...

bruh thats what you're SUPPOSED to do when you're a ceo
you think these guys should be thanking him for the rest of their lives?
and its funny how you mention meek mill cause if banks had a relationship with ross like , meek does with 50 you know 50 would have kicked banks out a long time ago.

Banks and Yayo are trapped! they cant move freely like french, meek ross or any other artists, they cant work with alot of producers and artists due to 50 cent.

What you're saying doesn't make any sense

You ever been fukked up before? If someone gave me the chance to work with Eminem and Dre I'll snap at it.

50 helped the nikkas out big time, and the point is that THEY don't do anything unless 50 does it. Banks was the only one back from 2009 to 2010, then he dropped the ball, and that's not 50's fault.

50 was gonna set up a record label for Game, he went on some fukk shyt too

50 was paying Buck's taxes, he went on some fukk shyt

Banks and Yayo aren't trapped, Banks did everything himself to make a hit release his last album (even though 50 paid for everything).

They lazy, Yayo hasn't dropped an album since 05

 

[kermit da hustla]

when has jay ever sold 12 million, or 10 million

jay was an entire brand, along with rocafella, and g-unit NEVER was as big as rocafella's stable of artists. never. beanie? freeway? state property? bleek? not to mention rocawear used to be on damn near everyone in the streets. nobody wore g-unit clothing.

But 50 had a comedian on Back Down

50 cent is like a single mom he keeps his kids dependent on him and acting surprised when they dont know how to move in the real world.

"i made you guys millionaires" gtfo

50 aint do none of that shyt out of love he did that in ways to control grown men.
Game was the only smart one to peep what went on and leave


50 even owns banks houses and cars lol banks CANNOT work outside the unit , his life would be destroyed...but thats what loyalty to 50 gets you , trapped in a box

 

[Tunez]

How dare you 50

 

[Redwing80]

50 aint do none of that shyt out of love he did that in ways to control grown men.
Game was the only smart one to peep what went on and leave

Jimmy Henchmen was the one behind Game leaving G-Unit, so that point is invalid.

Besides, all the nikkas want reunions cause 50's so evil right?

 

[Jerz-2]

I feel like if he drop his shyt let the music speak for its self nikkas will care more. If your shyt is hot nikkas will gravitate back to you.

....but that’s exactly the problem.
He ain’t made nothing hot or notable since “I Get Money”.

 

[TheLoneRanger]

Trillion seems obsessed with 50 Cent and not in a good way

 

[WSFGDan]

what you just said was bullshyt them nikkas ever have an album sell 5 million like Game? 2 Million Like Banks & Buck? fukk outta hear, and G-Unit & Sneakers clothes was huge

 

[Trillion]

Trillion seems obsessed with 50 Cent and not in a good way

was a huge 50 fan
but i could be honest

 

[Jerz-2]

I honestly wouldn't mind a 50, Jay, Nas collab......

...so 50 can sound out of place and get horribly upstaged lyrically?

Yeah, no thanks.

I mean, just imagine 50 adding a verse to "Black Republicans".....

 

[Jerz-2]

G-Unit & Sneakers clothes was huge

...if you were WHITE, yes.

The hood didn't wear that shyt, though. We had already seen Cross Colors.

HOWEVER....EVERYBODY in the hood rocked RocaWear...hell, some poor souls STILL rock it.
