The thing is also 50 had the old traditional wait 2 years than drop an album , musically he didn’t have the control he wanted. Its not like now when drake pushes his own album because he doesnt like the responds. Back in 2005 interscope pushed the massacre back multiple times, 50 had to leak candy shop on his own to get the label to back it.
Interscope hated the fact 50 kept giving out free material with the mixtape and s***. These days drake can drop an album whenever he wants an call it a “mixtape” 50 never had that power.
power you say....
what I love about this song is it's on buck's album
also - I think this sparked the beef with rick ross.
im loving the love 50 is getting in this thread.
also, plz can y'all stop comparing Travis Scott to 50 cent? cause it's not comparable at all. 50's influence and popularity is way bigger and dude was way more dominant. if ppl in Middle East know and love him, you know s*** is real. plus whoo kid got overseas stories for weeks.
50 Cant was HUGE and nobodys popularity today except Drakes compares
BUT
Theres about 20 other huge rap stars, not on that level but still huge which makes rap rn bigger than then
Remember, 50 only had 2 successful albums :) dont let nostalgia get the best of yall
And Beg For Mercy.
Curtis was also big. The singles were huge.
I miss this era so much, I’m tired of seeing d***ged out, mumbling southern rappers honestly
Had everyone yelling G unit wearing the clothes bumping the music. S*** really was insane.
Travis might've surpassed this in 2020. Sony/PlayStation, Fortnite, McDonalds, Nike/Jordan, feel like I'm missing some.
They threw chairs at him at summer jam and he caught that s*** with one hand
Dude born for the f***ery lok
"They say I walk around like I got a S on my chest, nah that's a semi-auto and a vest on my chest"
50 bought baisley park where supreme used to hustle and called it curtis 50 cent jackson park just cause to s*** on preme lmao
no rapper could f*** with 50 back in the day a straight savage
still know this word for word
I rewatched the movie like a week ago. Such a classic
