Why did people stop liking 50 Cent?

[Lefty Gunz]

Over saturation plus decline in quality of music

Also there is a weird age thing in hip hop. Only Jay seems above it (Which is a credit/compliment to him) hip hop is one of the only types of music where people stop fukking with an artist coz it ain't 'cool' anymore. Meanwhile the Rolling Stones and Madonna are still doing huge tours in they genres. If you hit a certain age in hip hop usually people stop fukkin with you for whatever reason.

This song is off his "wackest album" so that means this is 50 at one of his worst.



Compare this to the "hot" songs out today.

he dissed one or multiple of most peoples favorite boyhood idol rappers. that is why most dont fukk with him. its certainly not the quality of music, cause that hasnt diminished.

also, 2014 rap fan enjoys fukkboy trash like Wayne, Drake, etc. and if you dont trend hop towards the garbage like that (Jay-Z, TI), then you dont stay relevant/popular.

I still like 50. He still drops some good tracks.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

Dunno why people claiming he a bully. Ross, Jada, Joe etc dissed him first (Joe dissed Buck but whatever). Responding is bullying?

Oversaturation would be my guess. and he just wasn't releasing good music to the mainstream. Straight to the Bank, Amusement park etc were wack so he lost a lot of fans and then hip hop changed and moved away from the Gangsta rap sound. So he'd alienated his original fans with wack singles and his current music was wack to the general hip hop public so he faded.

I always fukk with mixtape 50. Same way I fukk with mixtape Wayne, just don't like the majority of they commercial ish.

After GRODT he got boring

 

[BrothaZay]

A combination of things.

First of all, he didn't drop anything else close to the caliber of GRODT afterwards. He had some nice joints but nothing on that level. So when you have to live up to that project, people will say you "fell off". Secondly, the times changing and becoming more feminine. When people started dressing like herbs in 07-08 he was still rocking baggy tees, jorts, and fitted caps. Third, you have oversaturation. In the span of 03 to 05 you had Fifty with GRODT, the G-Unit album, The Game album, The massacre, the GRODT movie, etc. He was everywhere too much. Fourth, you had a lot of "Real hip hop heads" back then. A lot more than now. People in the core hip hop community didn't appreciate 50's not-so-great lyricism and mainstream style of rapping. For some reason people love that shyt now but back then they didn't let it fly.

Massacre>>Get Rich

He was too hood for the mainstream to keep messing with him especially when you got Em, Kanye and Weezy all much more likeable being hot during the majority of his prime...after his strong arm marketing plan got boring the hood already hated him for murdering NY hip hop amongst other things...he's set for life financially so i doubt he cares...

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Kanye ended his career

 

[drugxglory]

[Carlton Banks]

How did he murder NY hip hop? By replying to disses from other nikkas? How did history get twisted like this. Jada etc all dissed 50 first. was he not meant to reply just because Jada from NY too? Jada in my top 5 too, 50 ain't but we can't act like 50 was just gonna sit there and let all them pop shots at him and not do nothing.
