Why did people stop liking 50 Cent?
- Thread starter El_Mero_Mero

Why did DMX,Game, T.I. , Nas, etc become unpopular? it's because nothing last forever. Nobody is selling like they use to.. Where's Camron? in rap you basically have a 5 year run.. 50 is from the Nelly generation and they did huge numbers which means when they do like everyone else, they fell off.

I think 50 ruined it for himself to be honest. The ja and murder inc. beef was legit but he mad it a point to beef with anyone who hand a decent following and to me that what killed him, he lost that hunger that defined him. He was the perfect rise to fame against all odds story which made his buzz so strong and was talented. But as time progress he became infatuated with being a bully to the point people got tired he even went at his own dre. I.e game and buck. It became less about good music and more about a story line

Is it ? Pac wasn't a good guy . Hov came at a lot of ny rappers. Tip cause a issue with the whole king of the south claim. Wayne with best rapper alive. The issue comes when you don't back it up with good music. 50 had that at one point not just good music but debatable Classic music once it started leaving more to be desired and he was still waging war and putting out iffy music is when the irrelevance beganRap is full of good guys, 50 cent is the villain

He fell off when he dissed Cam
Curtis was so dope. 50 did what Jay and Nas didn't tho and shot back tho (yeah, yeah,they Nas and Jay both threw sublims but 50 tried to go toe to toe with a dude who was known for this fukkery). The Funeral was dope as fukk. He just unlucky Cam is a master of this ish. He did the usual 50 thing and made a fool of cam off wax, same way he did to Ross though.
He had a great run, but he didn't want to come to grips that he was never going to duplicate that. Going diamond in each of his first two albums is a he'll of an accomplishment. But he started to rely too much on soundscans for his Buzz and it eventually backfired.
He still can put out some decent joints but he set the bar too high based on his early success

Fif's rise to stardom was the perfect storm that Interscope created. Fif's fall to disaster was the perfect failure he created. Fif came out when people were tired of Ja Rule and used the last bit of gangsta rap when it was still trendy in white America. Post-Massacare, he fukked up by beefing with Game, Nas, Jada, Cam, etc., he shytted on the south when they took over, he shytted on Kanye and Hov for doing their thing, and he even went at Iovine.
That shyt is why NY needs to get out of ASAP and make good young artists again. Playing the new version of Suge Knight ain't gonna get you anything but a jail sentence and being blackballed.
