One mixtape every now and then isn't being active.

Snoop is more known worldwide for the weed habit than his music.

He shot plenty of videos and released many radio friendly singles

Tried everything from a song with Eminem/Adam Levine to reuniting G-Unit

There was just no longer demand for his music.

The same people who know him for smoking weed will also recognize his voice when they hear it

No studio albums after BISD.

The thing is gangsta music didn't really die. Waka blew up in 2010, and Keef in 2012 I think?

if MC hammer had Google a***ytics like 50 did i’m sure he would be at his level or above. At his peak he was doing stadiums shows in Japan!

Yeah, but it's pretty much his most popular songs from the early 2000s.

Just look at his sales.

Animal Ambition was an album..

He called the rest mixtapes bc he was scared to flop

Kinda a mixtape. And it only did 50k anyway.

I see what you’re saying op but a lot less people were using the internet in 2004-2009 so google searches isn’t the best metric for seeing how popular something is as it is today.

And iirc Google search wasn’t as integrated with news and social media as it is today. So if you were googling an artist you were doing so probably to discover who they were. So it makes sense that more people were trying to find out more about 50 cent around that time. That was around the time of the time of the massacre, his first movie, the vitamin water deal, his sales bet with Kanye, etc.

That’s still interesting to see op. Even with all that said it’s still wild that people googled 50 more than Britany and Beyoncé. Especially considering that image search was a thing back then.

50 needed Em and Dre just like Em needs Dre.

He pushed it hard with a video for every song and there were physical copies of it out in stores lol

His background story was interesting to ppl

I remember everyone was fascinated that he was shot 9 times and survived

I know, still sad though. A multiplatinum artist doing 50k :(

Now he hasn't released s*** since lile the Kanan tape? Can't he just get in the studio with Em and Dre for a few months?

He has done enough TV lol, and he isn't really movie material.

Nigga is in his mid 40s had his run now hes focus on business ventures

Nigga will forever go down as one of the biggest rappers ever and till drake sell 10 million hes not f***ing with 03-05 50 cent

And his attitude, and the fact that he looked like Em had just signed Hulk lmao.

All the songs was technically released with video way before he dropped the album

I miss him sometimes, but it is what it is

What would be the point? They won't be able to restore that magic, some things are better left in the past.

people are gonna recognize him as one of the greatest when he passes away

I think his fall off had to do with the fact that he didn't want to do music anymore after awhile but probably was forced to bc of contracts

He’s the most iconic rapper ever regardless and it’s not close lol

also had a HIT video game too

Same with Kanye and Yeezus 2

Kanye west doesn’t make sequels lmao.
