50 Cent Says Nas Is Finished & Questions What Is A Win For Him
Nas threw a shot on “Queens Get the Money,” and you didn’t respond. You getting all Gandhi on us?
50 Cent: Man, Nas is cold as ice. Nas is the block of ice that sunk the Titanic… I didn’t even hear his record. I didn’t even hear what you talking about… I really don’t want to talk about Nas. I think he’s at one of those points to where his career’s finished, to be honest. He’s had some great moments and made good music in the past, but he no longer has the interest of the general public or myself.
50 Cent:The public will tell me that Curtis is a failure. And I sold 700,000 copies the first week. So what do I gotta do? Reach a million, at a minimum?!
That’s the bar you set. You’re the SoundScan Killer, remember?
50 Cent: Right, but if we’re gonna call that a failure, then somebody identify what a win is for me. All I need to know is what it is, and then I’ll go ’head and go. Musically, from my perspective, Curtis was exactly what I aimed for it to be. Or I wouldn’t have presented it to the public. I listen to my music before I put it out. I’m listening to it, and I’m hearing it, and I’m like, Yeah, this is what I wanna do now.
via XXL
What would be considered a win for 50 for the next album? I don’t think it should be defined by sales, rather the quality of the music. “Get Up,” wasn’t horrible, but it was an average track not poppin enough to be a first single. Something big has to drop in the next few months to get 50 back on top.
And oh yea, is Nas finished in your opinion?

December 1st, 2008 at 6:03 pm
50cent would eather Nas fuck Nas 50cent is going to R.I.P. Nas carrear!!!
December 1st, 2008 at 6:04 pm
fuck 50cent!!!
December 1st, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Why does 50 always have to start somethin? Just make music and stop worrying about other people.
December 1st, 2008 at 6:20 pm
wt is 50 starting. He was asked a question bout Nas dissin him in a song and he responded. do u expect him to shut up bout it. be Real
December 1st, 2008 at 6:26 pm
maybe Nas can retire, but Nas layed down a catalog of classic timeless albums. 50 Cent got hot music but is based on record sales. if Nas finished, then he finished makin history already, same thing with Jay, only difference between them 2 is that Jay doing it twice now, second time around.it’s like he on his 2nd catalog of classic albums. 50 don’t got it like dat. he all hits but your commercial hits are what’s based on what the popular media likes and the industry is backing Soulja Boy and Lil Wayne right now.
cmon man I go to different mixtape websites and you come to tell me all your hot mixtapes are all Lil Wayne mixtapes? get the fuck outta here with that bullshit. What happened when the top 10 on like mixtapekings.com would be like 1 DJ CLue, 1 DJ Kayslay, 1 Big Mike, 1 Best of Gravy, 1 D Block mixtape( all in no order on the top 10 hot recent mixtapes.) This industry got everyone thinkin Lil Wayne is the only dude hot right now. It’s all industry driven now, 80 to 90% there’s hardly any artistically driven type a shit right now that convinces the industry to push his or her without singin.
December 1st, 2008 at 6:28 pm
50 is a clown, Nas is a legend…….
December 1st, 2008 at 6:31 pm
50 is a hustla. We all heard the single he got out. He needs controversy to sell. He sold 700,000 based on a made up beef with Kanye.
December 1st, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Hip Hop is Dead was the death of Nas - “They shootin’…..”
December 1st, 2008 at 6:43 pm
they asked 5th the question now what did he start?
December 1st, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Lyrically Nas is better then 50 but musically of corse 50 is better then Nas. But as far as Nas career being finished umm lyrically he’s not but musically he’s finished.
50 was asked a question about Nas and he responded back so whats the hate for. And whether if what 50 said was a negetive responds or positive he still had to answer that question.
And oh yea, isn’t this beef shit between Nas & 50 an old beef?..smh bringing some old shit back
December 1st, 2008 at 6:46 pm
50 is better than NaS in NOTHING! NaS doesn’t have to stoop to 50 level to sell albums. I wonder how many albums he would sell if he wasn’t talking so much shit to promote them.
December 1st, 2008 at 6:47 pm
50 could do 10 more albums and still wouldn’t have the catalog that Nas has. Nas is like the hip hop Al Green…20 years from now he could drop a joint and the real heads would cop. Is he over to the teeny boppers-sure! But so is 50, thats why he manufactures beef to stay in your heads.
December 1st, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Nas Still The Best!!! ..
December 1st, 2008 at 6:50 pm
NAS IS A BITCH….WENT FROM “ETHER” TO KISSING ON JAYS NUTTS LATER..,.
50 CENT IS COMING BACK…AND ALL YALL HATERS GONNA BE BACK ON HIS NUTTS LIKE 03……
December 1st, 2008 at 6:52 pm
damn people dont even want 50 to answer questions no more lol, what do people want a rapper version of a stepford wife???
Iv never seen a man promote an album as hard as nas did on untittled and after all of that hes barely limped over the gold line if not at all..
December 1st, 2008 at 6:59 pm
@WhiteBoy it kills me how everytime 50 gets Asked a Question and he answers Honestly he’s either starting a beef or hes Hating!! SMH
First of all why Would someone who has sold over 30 million records in 5 years and has made over 400 million dollars need to hate on sombeody? lol thats hilarious!!
Second im a fan of NAs but 50 is right hes as Cold As Ice.
Thirdly he has raised the bar so high for himself that even when BISD drops if he sells 500,000 copies in the first week that would be more than Beyonce, Usher, Luda, Jeezy, and Ross all sold in the first week of release, Yet for 50 that would be a FAIILURE. So at this Point he doesnt or shouldnt worry about numbers because anything he does from this point on will be considered a dissappointment and the HATERS will have a field day.
If CAmron, Jada, (Ja-rule at this point in his career), Fat Joe, or Buck sold 700,000 copies in their first week they would be the Hottest artist OUt!!
50 does 700,000 in his first week and he Flopped!!! thats Fucking Incredible!!!! smh
PS: I guess thats what happens when ur known as ” The SoundScan Killer”
December 1st, 2008 at 7:02 pm
fuck record sells I don’t care if anybody else got your cd if it’s nice it’s nice..
And nas last album was tight as fuck..
I ride that album ALL the way through. I bet nas get back on his bullshit the next album. That song with game and chris borwn was tight…
December 1st, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Sincere i agree with u on the F’ record sells part, but 50 created a Monster!! so when his Album drops people will be watching his numbers
December 1st, 2008 at 7:10 pm
i aint gonna lie i like the songz 50cent makes but i still listen to nas’s “supposedly” wackest album til this day and thats nastradamus. i cant listen to 50 songs for too long, and he got lotsa Ls from me in dat dblock beef. cam’ron came harder/better than 50, but 50 brushed it off by naming his album curtis. so in my eyes from a lyrical and entertainment stand point he lost many times, dnt body yourself.
December 1st, 2008 at 7:11 pm
it’s the difference between being musical and lyrical. I see people hoppin on the audiotune shit cause it’s musical. so I guess if everything starts speeding up to some techno shit I guess other “rap hustlers” will do it too cause it’s considered “musical” and hot right now. if it’s hot it’s hot I guess right?
December 1st, 2008 at 7:17 pm
^ 50 is the biggest and funniest rap entertainer in the rap game..
December 1st, 2008 at 7:19 pm
LOL #19 g-money, serious man dudes & women be hatin! LOL
December 1st, 2008 at 7:20 pm
50 cent started this shit….by getting on radio talkin reckless abut Nas’ wife(sex tape)…so Nas told him on Queens Get the Money…”my queen used her milkshake to bring ya’ll to my saughter house”…let us not forget that 50 cent starts shit but when he is questioned about it he acts as if he is the victim…because that is what faggots do! 50 cent says the same thing about Nas in every interview…he has been saying this since 2006! Nas continues to make great albums and has went GOLD+ with Untitled! so who the fuck is finished…not Nas!
December 1st, 2008 at 7:22 pm
error:slaughter
December 1st, 2008 at 7:22 pm
Come on 50…Nas had the number one album in the country the week he dropped but he’s finished? He is on Jeezy’s CD, ludacis’, etc…Nas is a legend. It’s like Usher going at Al Green.
December 1st, 2008 at 7:24 pm
lol at all the 50 and jay dickryders hatin on nas, a fuckin legend kid, and 50 a clown ass nigga always needin publicity knowing he gonna get the oohs and ahhs from all yall. i dont care if he aint start shyt who is he to say nas career is finished. G-unit is finished lol. fuck his records sales too dont mean shyt he garbage and i aint hatin Queenz all day kid 1zzzz
December 1st, 2008 at 7:32 pm
^ Al Green doesn’t sing anymore Nas still raps so that doesn’t count homeboy! LOL
December 1st, 2008 at 7:33 pm
50 can’t fuck with Nas on Nas’ worse day! This nigga is getting real repetative when it comes to Nas. Same old shit different interview! Nigga get at him if you think he so irrelevant…but he won’t! By the way 50 could never ether nas…Nas created the ether formula!
December 1st, 2008 at 7:49 pm
He’s right though. Nobody is checking for Nas anymore. Let’s keep it real. I’m sure theres a few hardcore Nas fans out there, but in general I don’t remember anyone hyped off Nas’s last few albums. Not to say people are that hyped over 50/G-Unit CD’s like before either. I’m just saying as far as Nas goes, he fell off.
December 1st, 2008 at 7:49 pm
while u write you hate nigel about how get up isint good enough to be a single..
im watching 106 right now…theres a number 1 on the left…and 50’s video is on the screen
so everything u say about 50 at this point is irrelavent..
u jus be saying shit jus to say it
December 1st, 2008 at 7:57 pm
@Well, Nas fell off with a number one album and Gold status? Do you guys even listen to the quality of music? fifty only had one good album and that was his first one. Remember DMX used to sell 5 mil…50 might just be the new X.
December 1st, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Nas Lost
December 1st, 2008 at 8:02 pm
um white boy i kno ur a g-unit fan cuz u alwayz
say good things bout him like u his bitch or sumtin
damn hommie lay off tha niggaz dick n breathe ma nigga.
u kno 50 started it first but still u dick riders back
50 up like he sum god or sumtin..SMH
December 1st, 2008 at 8:03 pm
oh yea.nas aint neva finish
December 1st, 2008 at 8:05 pm
“im watching 106 right now…theres a number 1 on the left…and 50’s video is on the screen”
That makes a song a hit now? lol
December 1st, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Nas ain’t never fell off…you baby fans are still breast feeding off 50 cent’s nipples …get the fuck outta here. There are over 500,000+ hardcore Nas fans that continue to check for himm…without no radio play or tv advertisement…all internet advertisement…and we know internet buzz don’t mean shit…so therefore Nas got many checking for him and still counting!While 50 getting radio and tv spends and still can’t catch a buzz…that nigga fell off and G-unit still ain’t go Gold yet! Nas went Gold and other rappers who fans claim to be more popular than Nas has also went Gold…example: Young Jezzy and Game…Nas was never a big out the gate sales artist…so if these popular/radio friendly artist are Gold along with Nas….Nas seems to be in a “GOOD SPACE” ain’t that what 50 would say!
December 1st, 2008 at 8:12 pm
‘Get Up’ is first single material in my opinion
anyway, the whole Nas/50/Fat Joe “beef” is getting old
December 1st, 2008 at 8:14 pm
lol at Nas beeing finished and still beeing cpable of collaborate with the biggest rapstars and selling more than most of the people including g unit without comercial shit,Nas is untouchable
December 1st, 2008 at 8:15 pm
All i see is a bunch of young ass cats discussing some shit they dont know nothing about. Nas is quite frankly one of the top ten mc’s of all time regardless if your a fan or not. %0 cent was a blockbuster trend in a closet full of hip hop fashion. Niggas dont wear coogi sweaters no more, and neither do they listen to 50. I mean three years ago the nigga was hot, but lets face it, he was never known as a lyricist. Why are we even fucking having this discusion. If you not atleast 21, just stop commenting little homies.
December 1st, 2008 at 8:17 pm
Nas please get at this clown, forget being humble for a moment and just go Stillmatic on this fool. Nas never fell off! Nas top 3 artist in the game.
December 1st, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Yea, it is about the quality of the music. All 50’s shit has been sounding the same. He needs to change it up a little & then maybe he’ll gain our attention again. & A whole hot album too, not just the singles…& Nas is not finished. He’s were he’s been his whole career. Being underground makes Nas hot imo. He was never mainstream like that.
December 1st, 2008 at 8:34 pm
the hate is always strong on a 50 post, u got people callin his a faggot.. People goin after 50 for publicity stunts to sale records..
Nas turnin up at red carpet events with kelis wearing ni##er tshirts? Come on now people now if you dont think that isnt the most disgusting publicity stunt to sale albums then i guess u ni##as just got confused lol
December 1st, 2008 at 8:35 pm
i dont wanna hear ppl critize Nas and say he fell off same go 4 Jay tell me the hottest album hip-hop album of 08 they go sum think in commun :
carter 3 : Mr carter arguably the best track in dat CD
the reccession: My president is black 1 of the best in the CD
jay also feature on dat CD
Untitled: well had nas all over it
Paper trail : jay-z 2nd best verse on the track of the year PERIOD
Theater of mind : i do it 4 hip-hop
nas miite not be as important as he was but doesnt take away 2 his talent
December 1st, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Here we go wit this shit again…in 5 years will u remember any tracks off of a 50 album outside of the singles? Who right now is honestly listening to The Massacre? Curtis? Outside of the singles…50 is the next Nelly. Come out the gates strong, sell less and less wit each album afterwards and eventually fade away. Who MADE 50? Exactly. Who MADE NAS? Ya thought so. Oh…um…didnt…Columbia SHELF that nigga? So he’s no better than T-Pain, a so so artist wit a gimmick. Am I lyin? Can somebody post a legendary quote from 50 for me? “Blame God, He blew breath in my lungs” -Nas
December 1st, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Nas on tour with Kanye in Australia right now…so please kill the cliche of Nas fell off bullsh*t! Nas been on tour all over the world from July to present. This man is so far removed from what these haters (50 Cent, jim jones) continue to negatively speak about him, it sems to be the norm to say Nas fell off by two of the biggest and irrelevant trouble making artists in the game right now!
December 1st, 2008 at 8:47 pm
#36 Dizzzle212, Shut your bootleging ass up you stupid bitch talkin to me like that, why the fuck are you worry about who im a fan of? Who the fuck are you are you a fan of me if not then shut up bitch..smh
December 1st, 2008 at 8:53 pm
for all the idiots-
in 2004 nas did a FREE concert in central park,nyc and called 50 out by name.
in 2005 fif got at him on PIGGYBANK.
in the summer of 2008 nas is still trowing shots at 50 on the “QUEENS GET THE MONEY” song.
in november of 2008-50 answers a simple questions and these hip hop fans start SHITTING BRICKS.
now what kind of sense does that make?
December 1st, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Okay, 50 no more talking until you have another top 10 single until then please STFU and spare us you incite on the music industry.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:05 pm
What happened in 2004 and 2005 is over with…now to be clear and exact…what happened in spring 2008 is 50 got the radio disrespecting Nas and his wife and then Nas in the summer of 2008 lyrically let 50 cent know …not to f*ck with him, because he will slaughter his ass on Queen Get the Money! So let us all be clear! That makes sense to me!
December 1st, 2008 at 9:09 pm
LMAO…white boy gettin mad like alwayz
ol soft azz nigga
December 1st, 2008 at 9:10 pm
commercially, nas is finished. but, nas was NEVER a commercial rap artist. he is a HIP HOP artist. there is a huge difference. nas makes great hip hop albums and fiddy creates huge commercial singles and weedplate albums.
fiddy might as well try to create “in da club” part 16 for the hundredth time. true story, fiddy AINT shit without a hot beat and a marketable beef. he should be happy that wayne gave his upcoming brick more hype.
sorry, but i’d take nastradamus over any of fiddy’s albums any day of the week.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:14 pm
@#38 in this day and age it does when lil waynes video have been no 1 as well T-pain who are considered Hot right now so 50 with a video @ #1 on 106 and park still means something
Either way at the end of the Day 50 isn’t going anywhere so Get Over It!! lmao
December 1st, 2008 at 9:20 pm
fiddy cent only writes catchy hooks with countless bars of nothingness. ja rule is a better lyricist than fiddy.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:24 pm
i hate to say it but nas is finished!! lol
December 1st, 2008 at 9:34 pm
^^^ ja rule is a better lyricist then 50 smh what a fool, anyways #53 dizzle212, u callin me soft? i ain’t know e-thug but you don’t know me dog i would beat the human shit outta u man..smh
December 1st, 2008 at 9:38 pm
50 cent is my dude. But Nas is a top 5 MC. This knuckle head kids like noise on beats rappers like Wayne. Wayne and his sack chasers aka Wayne Stans have ruined hiphop.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:38 pm
I have to give it to 50, dude is one hell of an entertainer. He has the blogs/hip hop websites going nuts.
Anyway, Nas is a legend, he can never fall off. His catalog will stand the test of time. @ the end of the day Nas is a ARTIST, and 50 weeeeelll….. is a great entertainer. I actually like 50 and i wish him the best, i just know musically i can’t expect much from him.
ps
Hopefully he’ll prove me wrong with BISD.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Theses wayne sack chasers think wayne is a good rapper lmao. Wayne is homo rap like jim jones, plies, rick ross, flo-rida, game.
December 1st, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Nas is not finished commercially…because if he made a commercial hit like Got Urself a Gun… he would still be successful. Nas creates the kind of music he wants to create not what is popular…he has been doing this for so long and with such greatness/quality that he does not need to create pop music on a regular basis like 50 in order to be considered relevant! Nas will be forever apart of the elite few classified as the best to ever bless the mic and change the culture of Hip Hip…because he is a true artist like Common, like Q-Tip, like Scareface, like Kanye, like Jay-z, and like Em ect!!
December 1st, 2008 at 10:01 pm

Why are you using my name ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

December 1st, 2008 at 10:09 pm
@63 Because Edward is my name …I did not know I had to check with someone to use my nickname! How about I change it to Edward, so there is no confussion!
December 1st, 2008 at 10:09 pm
this shit is a “publicity stunt”.. marketing strategy.. whatever the fuck you want to call it.
December 1st, 2008 at 10:11 pm
ain’t shit gonna happen!!!!!!!
December 1st, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Allright that is cool, I made a few post here you see.
Peace.
December 1st, 2008 at 10:16 pm
@Edward
But if you have been have here longer time than me, then you should have the name, no hard feelings.
I´ve been posting here since July.
Peace
December 1st, 2008 at 10:25 pm
its funny how people r sayin that 50 would ether Nas but Nas made up etherin. wouldnt it be the other way around.
December 1st, 2008 at 10:28 pm
@ ED: No it is cool Ed….we all people here on this site and it’s no big deal! It is just a name…not my SS#! You were here longer I must admit…but I would think this site would have informed me if the name was already being used.
Peace Man!
December 1st, 2008 at 10:39 pm
It´s all good, but I mean it would be just too funny if “Ed” said something one day and then something complete the opposite the next day.
But we do agree. Nas is still one of the best, I spend a month of my summer listening to Nas Untitled.
Peace.
December 1st, 2008 at 10:54 pm
“Hmmm…Jay-Z dissed Nas shortly before releasing an album, and his album was a classic. Maybe I should diss Nas, and pray that the same formula works…(*crosses fingers*)”
December 1st, 2008 at 10:57 pm
^^^LOL! Nas all day!
December 1st, 2008 at 11:11 pm
@ 74 He was asked about the jab that Nas took at him on “Queens get the money” and he said Nas was irrelevant. 50 doesnt need to diss Nas to create a Buzz it just so happens that because of 50s past affiliation with Nas interviewers always bring Nas up and he tells them what he thinks of Him.
This idea that hes gonna waste his time on Someone who although is Lyrically Talented as Nas is, yet at this point in his career is far below 50s Radar as far as being able to Benefit from engaging in such a battle.
(sidenote: Going at someone lyrical didnt stop 50 from goin at Jada so it has nothing to do with Lyrical abilty)
It seems like if u give ur opinion when asked a question like in 50s situation ur somehow trying Start beef! smh
December 1st, 2008 at 11:31 pm
white boy has a “50″ tattoo on his ass cheek
December 1st, 2008 at 11:54 pm
^^^Please….50 cent could never truly bring it to Nas that is why he continues to say Nas is irrelevant in every interview. JaRule and Nas are two different artist. Nas will never be below 50 cent you fans equate 50 as being someone who really has power. Nas ain’t Styles P, Jadakiss or JaRule…do you think he survived in the game this long without having some strong influence himself! You fools are confused with it…you believe what the media feeds you about 50 cent…50 was told to push his album back,because he had no buzz…he is praying that Em releases his album around the same time as his so that he can have a real emcee carry his ass…like Nas said hiding behind 8 mile and the chronic! 50 cent don’t even believe that Nas is irrelevant because if he did he would be going hard at him like he did JaRule and Fat Joe! 50 cent ran with dissin JaRule because you fickle fans hyped him to believe that he could attack JaRule…and that JaRule was no longer the it guy! Nas base is to strong for 50 cent to have any power over him. Only thing 50 can do is talk bullshit with the hope that Nas will consider him worthy enough to slaughter him! You fans know 50 cent is pussy…and you know what he will and will not do! In this interview 50 did not want to discuss Nas,,,but he had no problem getting on radio disrespecting Nas…prior to Nas making Queens Get the Money! Like someone else said Nas went Gold+ status with Untitled and he did it with no radio spins! Does not sound like artist finished to me…and his next album will be solid as well!!!!
December 1st, 2008 at 11:58 pm
^^ And why are you mentioning my ass cheeks…smh faggot
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:02 am
You ever seen someone who roll with Mayweather, rhyme like Ricky Hatton
And smash whatever you throw, a thousand is what I’m batting
Got a few hooks with no jabs
Took ‘em out ya corndog books and notepads
I get it, you got rich robbing those in the industry
Bite off this one, steal from your enemy
Never try to play the hottest one out ya camp
He might step off and take half the joules from ya amp
Enough to make ya Vogue on that cover of GQ
Only missing the sheer blouse, homey, you see-through
Stop sipping on that Formula 50
They want heat? I give it to ‘em, burnt and crispy
Rhymes too short to box with God, so stretch it
Especially these over-rated raps, step to fetch it
I told you if I rain, there’ll be an eternal drizzle
Woodwork strips being chipped from sharp chizzles
One verse shatter your spine and crush your spirit
No matter what, you still ‘window shop’ for lyrics
If you was a ‘pimp’, put tricks on the stroll
And if those were ’soldiers’, give ‘em bigger guns to hold
Who shot ya? You don’t have enough on your roster
You move like a fed, but you talk like a mobster
That ‘yayo’ you slinging, please abort it
Too many cuts on it, cokeheads they won’t snort it
I spray the Flea Unit with pesticides, and you can get
Your best ghost writers, get ‘em all to testify
Have you ever been stung by a thousand hornets
Five hundred Killa Beez, buzzing and really on it
Whipped with “Cuban Linx”, and cut with “Liquid Swords”
Choked by “Ironmen” til we crush your vocal chords
You ain’t nothing but a pig in the blanket
Hog head, the deadliest food at the banquet
All this rap crap that’s trapped in your colon
Only means, get rid of the wack shit you holding
Sweet tooth dudes stay out the ‘candy shop’
You ain’t got to handcuff ‘em to see the panties drop
A few cats is looking for a rat with cheese
Got something to pitch, they all swing a bat with ease
Get your ankles broke, while doing your two-step
Leave a thank you note, for the crutches the Wu left
ProActive rap, you know they put drug in the CREAM
You hallucinate and see Kanye in your dream
And yo, I don’t smoke dust, I dust off Smokey and the Bandits
With the brush stroke off the canvas
I walk on your gators and lizards, raise the lynx
That was killed for your minks, you be rocking in blizzards
Wanna be cop, til you walk to D-Block
And get entranced for us, spread your wings like peacocks
I was an M.C., when you was in Nutville
On a world tour, you was getting your guts filled
Ten years MC’ing, but I flow like I’m twenty-one
Straight from Medina, with the mass of many suns

Yall ever notice all 50 talks about is record sales? This guy is brain washed. Fuck record sales! It aint hard to tell thatin this day and age, record sales is not a true way to define a dope hip hop artist. 50 never talks about lyrics, creativity, content… its always “record sales blah blah blah …” 50 makes some good hard shit for the most part, but compared to Nas (pause) you gotta be fuckin kidding me. The name “Nas” is synonymous with legend, greatest, and yep… Hip Hop. 50 lacks growth through his music. You can just about predict what his next album is gonna sound like. 50 needs to become more diverse, surprise us, download some of Nas’s lyrics and learn how to spit that shit! I’m just being real…
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:15 am
50 cent does the same thing with Jay-z and Kanye as he does with Nas! He hates on them and then tries to make himself seem more important than they are. when in reality he wishes he could be as creative and free with his music as they are and get the same praises that they recieve…he kills himself to make a mediocre song and he feels insecure in his efforts because he knows he does not have the talent to be as DOPE as Nas, Jay or Kanye. If he could of ran with T.I. being a snitch he would have used that to market TOS…but T.I. position is too popular right now! Now Lil Wayne…he might run with the fact that an old diss leaked with wayne dissin him…but in the end he will not succeed at that either.

December 2nd, 2008 at 1:36 am
@ paperplates gza killed 50 without cursing
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:41 am
Same old 50. This is what people want from him but when he delivers they knock him for doing it. He was asked a question and he answered it. He should rather concentrate on his Eminems and Dr Dre projects and how he can add to them.
December 2nd, 2008 at 3:23 am
Will Lloyd banks and Tony yayo ever release a cd again? are they still relevent?(if they ever were relevent) can they go gold right now? why wont 50 ever talk about the music in his camp? is there one artist on gunit doing anything besides 50? how many more mix tapes are these niggas going to do. i mean damn, how strong is gunit as a record label?
December 2nd, 2008 at 4:04 am
@32
Maybe Lloyd and Yayo don’t have to release any records. What do they need to go gold for when 50 has done platinum plus on his albums by himself and he making money with his other business ventures outside of music. That’s his camp of the loyal one’s….. Just like Jay got his loyal one’s like Memphis Bleek. When you stay loyal you get what you need and so is the boss…simple as that.

December 2nd, 2008 at 5:12 am
@ Fullwooddjf
His content may not meet your personal standards as a consumer, but to say he’s had almost everbody in the the rap game trying to battle him and ruin his career he has the bragging rights to say he’s sold millions and he probably could care less about being at the top of anybody’s list. Cause at the end of the day if you look at it conversations revovle around 50. I just can’t even count how many posts on this site that didn’t relate to 50 and his name didn’t come out of somebody’s mouth. Truth is he got what he want and he got y’all talkin,so he must be doin somethin right.
December 2nd, 2008 at 7:29 am
Dozia, Why are you even mentioning g-unit you don’t know anything about music the only thing your faggot ass listens to is that YMCA gay music..lol “ruffle your panties”..smh faggot

December 2nd, 2008 at 8:09 am
Anytime he have something to say about somebody people quick to jump on him. Half of these fickle ass posters in here be on his shit 1 minute then the next minute they talkin trash like he weak and they don’t listen to his shit. It’s Alright for him to have his opinion be proud of what he’s accomplished as an artist. You can look at it two ways: you can look at it as bragging or simply stating facts.
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:30 am
50 cent is finished.com! point blank period. neeeeeeexxxxxt!
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:34 am
I think 50 is correct in what he is saying! He gave NAS props on making good music in the past! However the question was is NAS finished? He will never be finished as a HIP HOP artist or ICON but as far as reaching commercial success or being relavant in todays Market he is done! He is at the samepoint of his career as when JORDAN played on the wizards!
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:42 am
Blogs hate be hatin on 50 but they love his music, and same blogs who are dissin him are the same blogs who bought the Curtis album. And even tho blogs hate him and insult his best records behind closed door they actually listen to it. They talk a whole bunch of shit about not bumpin his music when really behind closed door they bump that shit. They might diss him about not having any lyrics, but musically they fuck with 50 music.
They talk shit as if they don’t bump his music, but they know that deep down inside it be eatin them up. When they here a good 50.cent single, but being that they don’t like him they don’t bump his music. But they still would cop his album and bump his music behind closed door. And after sellin 5mill records off of Curtis album they still say he’s weak and that he flop. In my opinoin it seem like blogs don’t know the define of what weak and flop is anymore.
Me personally if i don’t like a rapper but i like a single that that rapper put out. Im not gonna stress myself out by not bumpin this music if that shit is hot then its hot period.
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:00 am
Kanye sold between 390,000 and 450,000,now he sold less than TIP,is this flop for kanye or not,thanks for ya opinion,peace…………..and luda is like less than 150.000,maybe im wrong,if im wrong sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyy……haha
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:01 am
cosign: ^^^
Keep it 100. That’s a good point you brought up. I agree if it’s hot, then it’s hot.
But what I don’t understand is why would people listen to something behind closed doors? Is it that serious? I know we tend to share our opinions here on the site, but who gets talked about for acknowledging an artist and enjoying their music away from Realtalk?
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:03 am
my response was to 100
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:21 am
how can nas be finished.do people really hve ears for hiphop these days.nas is hiphop in its purest form.50 should learn to respect the king
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:28 am
Nas was never a commercial artist so how can he be finished as far as being commersial. You stans are just retards on a keypad. Nas is very relevant to his market-it is 50 cent who is no longer relevant to the commersial market. How is Nas not relevant to the market when he went Gold +, just like commercial artist such as young Jeezy went Gold+. G-Unit(TOS)has not even went Gold as of yet. Come on people stop with the nonsense.
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:38 am
Nas is very relevant -the man went Gold and counting on a non-commercial album. You have commercial artist such as Nelly and LL Cool J who could not even do that. You have commercial artist like T-Pain who did not even sell more than Nas in his 1st week sales- and you stans have the never to agree with this clown. 50 is mad because Nas has the fan base to sale albums without all the commercial bullshit and tour all over the world. Matter of fact he is on tour with Kanye starting Dec 5in Australia. So stop with Nas not being relevant…he is very relevant!!
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:40 am
nerve not never error
December 2nd, 2008 at 10:33 am
50 will never change. Get it, never change, see what I did there. I did a Nas on you mutherfuckers.
December 2nd, 2008 at 11:09 am
they asked 50 a question and he answered respectivly and from off his chest and u fags get mad lol. he tellin the truth though, i like both artist, u niggas be dick ridin cuz nas last album did not go gold last i check it was at 400k and it stopped, gold would be 500k and nas is not dat yet. but his album was a classic. 50 could kill him if he wanted to, but nas is an amazing lyricist. stop hattin faggots, ya’ll blew this outta of portion.
Before I Self Destruct 09
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:11 pm
SOME OF YA M.FUCKER ARE CRAZY!!! I CAN NOT BELEIVE YA LISTEN TO WHAT 50 SAYS AND SAID NAS IS FINSHED??? ARE YOU SERIOUSE??? NAS IS ON SOME GRWON MAN STATUS, HE DOESN’T HAVE TO TALK ABOU PPL TO MAKE A GREAT ALBUM, LISTEN TO HIS ALBUMS AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT, THEN LISTEN TO 50 AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT. NAS HAS BEEN IN THE GAME FOR A WHILE, PPL MATURE AND TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MATTER AND MAKE SENSE. NAS IS ONE OF THE BEST RAPPER DEAD OR ALIVE,IF U DON’T THINK THAT IS TRUE THEN YA ARE STUPID. FURTHERMORE, 50 ALWAYS SAY SOMETHING CRAZY WHENEVER HE IS ABOUT TO DROP AN ALBUM. THE ONLY GREAT ALBUM HE HAD IS THE 1ST ONE, THAT IS IT.
December 2nd, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Yo Nas even said it himself…he does his music for the “Real” listeners out there…He’s not bout the whole platinum selling records garbage. Everything he does is to feed the minds of young ppl out there who are gonna be running this world soon…his music is to chanllenge our minds intellectually and to make us think for ourselves. So what if he doesn’t do a club banger…and cause of that “he’s cold as ice”…man 50 is straight garbage. Unlike Nas or Jay-Z or other rappers, I don’t think I’ve ever listend to one of his tracks and come out and be like “yo thats some serious shit…how can i apply that to my life to make it better”. Da man always spits the same shit but in different languages…
December 2nd, 2008 at 1:18 pm
Correct me if I’m wrong, Nas come out with that comment a while ago when the album dropped. I don’t think not once did we hear 50 say a word or any thing about the comment. Yes we all know 50 love to talk but at the same time, the interviewer asked him a question and he responded. He never just came out his mouth with this shit, he gave the honest opinion to the dude on how he feel. Now if all of ya call that running his mouth and shit, then ya all some assholes. If you a person that speaks your mind when asked upon it, then this shouldn’t be nothing. Let the dude do him and focus on what he got to do. At least 90 percent of ya on here run ya mouth as much as 50 do but it’s just not seen by everybody else.
December 2nd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
@110 G-Roc: Nas did go Gold+ check RIAA!!! Check for yourself!

stick a fork in nas… he done
December 2nd, 2008 at 6:16 pm
First of all, we all know that 50 listened to the queens track..i dont care how much he denies it. Second, nas’ career finished?! REALLY? You can argue that nas has at least 3 classic albums. 50? None. Ok..maybe grodt but even that album can’t touch any of nas’ classic albums. And how is nas irrelevant when he’s about to go gold and sold more than g’unit’s album. Are you saying that g-unit, your crew is irrelevant too? 50, just shut the fuck up and make good music if you can. Your last album was GOD AWFUL
December 2nd, 2008 at 7:48 pm
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHITE BOY WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?
December 2nd, 2008 at 8:47 pm
nas could ghost write for 50 and his catalog still wouldnt be remotely close to nas’
yea nas isnt as hot as he once was now but u still got jayz, kanye, wayne, jada, em, tip, luda, jeezy- these ppl all respect nas’ status to work wit him. none of these niggas wanna work wit 50, what does that say?
December 20th, 2008 at 10:18 am
5-0 and his crew are a joke, now they have to nerve to think that nas’s career is done?
Please.
