Why did people stop liking 50 Cent?

[El_Mero_Mero]

Did they get tired of the same subject matter?

Was he overexposed when GRODT came out?

Did the public see his "entrepreneur" image, like this for example:
and say: "he's not relatable or a man of the people, so we can't rock with him anymore?"

What do you think is the reason?

 

[Jhoon]

They never liked him to begin with. He never had an endearing personality.

A lil overexposure. The sound of mainstream hip hop kinda changed with rise of Lil Wayne and Kanye West in 04. Plus, the singles from that second album crept too far into Ja Rule territory. It was a perfect storm.

 

[bigmac]

Gangster rap had a run, he milked it for ALL that he could (which was a fukking lot), then it got stale, and so did his appeal

He was popular up until he lost the first week sales battle to Ye, after that, popularity wise, he slowly became

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

He's a c*nt. He went from underdog to bully. People hate stuff like that. He didn't spread any love at all.

When G-Unit was popping he put them on an island and separated them from the rest of NY. Then when they weren't popping anymore they're jumping on other artist tracks and getting guest features.

dissed the lox, who probably the most hood loved group in hip hop history

got exposed musically by kanye in 07

rick ross beef showed how pathetic he was

[OG Talk]

After the Kanye challenge in 2007 it pretty much became un cool to be a 50 Cent fan...


I stopped liking him after Ghetto Qur'an honestly.. I was out as soon as the fake Southern accent came through my speakers ..

 

[fundz]

Nobody would care about his shytty personality if the music didn't become so unspeakably stale.

Neither Jay-Z nor T.I. are any more likeable than this dude, yet they've somehow managed to stay relevant longer.

 

[Professor Polo]

Creatively speaking, the put himself in a box music wise, the harsh realities of his environment growing up, and was unable to escape when trying to step outside his comfort zone..

 

[Midrash]

He bullied himself in a corner. He made too many enemies and pushed so many people around that when his popularity started to dip, nobody wanted to pull his ass out the quicksand. He simply faded into obscurity and we had Ye and Wayne to hold us over those mid to late 2000s era. If he wasn't such a dikkhead to everyone and a bully, there would have been a lot of producers who wouldn't have mind putting him on some fire beats and saving his ass.

 

[Foxmulder]

That's the music business. No one stays hot forever. Only a select few artists have super long careers.Still don't take away what he accomplished.

 

[Diondon]

At the end of the day he isn't that good a rapper and he got feminine ways
Alienated himself and his click from damn near everybody in the game
Oh and the "career destroyer" thing proved to be bullshyt too

 

[sporticus]

They never liked him in the first place. They liked Eminem, liked Dre, liked the movement, liked hearing the singles on the radio, liked how he bullied people or hated Ja Rule.
