50 Cent Could Retire After Next Album, Compares Himself To Jay-Z

50 Cent stated during a King Magazine interview:
“It could very well be my last studio album if it doesn’t make sense for me to continue and actually do it.

50 Cent goes on to compare himself to Jay-Z:

“I believe that I will have a stronger position as we move forward. What I have on my side is age. In the next five years, they’ll be 45 and 44 years old and I’ll just be close to where they are now.” He’s married, he’s getting ready to be 40. He’s in a different place, he might not even want to run around, and even touring might be out of the question.”

Looks like 50’s next album is dropping March 24th, the same date as Rick Ross’, “Deeper Than Rap.” Should this be 50’s last album? Thoughts on his comments about Jay-Z?

    50 gon outsell ross in the first 24 hours… CONFIDENT

  2. vigorous Says:

    with the current situation of hip hop and how lame this fucking shit is, why would anyone actually wanna keep dropping albums? 50 cent makes a fortune off business and movies, and i’m sure he makes a shitload off rap to. But hip hop is wack as fuck right now, if i was 50 i wouldnt waste my time on it. but at the end of the day, we all kno he’s gonna stay in it cuz these dudes make a shitload of money off shows and all type of stuff.

    HIP HOP IS DEAD; BLACK PEOPLE AND THE SOUTH KILLED IT

  4. Hi Hater! Says:

    1st – No way he’s dropping his shit on March 24th

    2nd – Even if he does, theres no chance Officer Ricky pull a Kanye and beat 50. With all the “officer ricky” shit…he’ll flop

  5. Very Sad Says:

    I’m copping that Ross. 50 entertains me more but music wise, Ross all day. Nothing bangs like that smooth Maybach music in the whip

  6. Backlash Says:

    “with the current situation of hip hop and how lame this fucking shit is, why would anyone actually wanna keep dropping albums” .

    Is It .Hard To Believe .That Some Rappers ..Rap For The Love And Not The Money? ..Smh …Why Do You Think Rappers .Like Jay, Nas , Snoop , Ice Cube ,Common, Eminem , Dr. Dre . And All The Other Vets ..Who Have More Than Enough Money ..Keep Droping Albums ..You Know It’s Not For The Money ..But Anyways ..Is Fifty Comparing Himself To Jay Business/Money Wise Or Music Wise? ..Because Business Wise Yes ..But Music Wise .No ..And Oh Yeah ..Ross Should Change His Release Date If He Wanna Have Uh Decent First Week.

  7. TOWNBIZZ Says:

  8. PIGGY ROSS Says:

    REAL TALK FROM 50 CENT,IT AMAZES ME HOW ONE BLACK RAPPER CAN BE SO VISIONARY AND WELL-SPOKEN.

  9. The Slums Says:

    ^ STAAAAAAAAAAAN

  10. PIGGY ROSS Says:

    HOW MANY RAPPERS OUT THERE CAN STRING A PROPER ENGLISH SENTENCE TOGETHER WITHOUT THE HELP OF THEIR OFF-CAMERA MANAGER?

    VERY FEW.IF YOU’RE A 50 CENT/EMINEM HATER,YOU’RE PROBABLY AN ILLITERATE COCK STAIN.

  11. PIGGY ROSS Says:

    FURTHERMORE,THE DAY 50 CENT RETIRES FROM HIP-HOP WILL BE THE DAY HIP-HOP IS OFFICIALLY DEAD.

    IT’S EASY TO DISAGREE UNTIL YOU REALIZE 50 CENT IS THE MOST RELEVANT RAPPER IN HIP-HOP,WITHOUT HIM,HIP-HOP WOULD BE A STALE MEDIUM WORTHY OF A SLOW AND CRUEL DEATH.

    JUST TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE POSTS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THIS SITE,WHICH ONE STICKS OUT THE MOST AND INVITES THE MOST DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FROM HIP-HOP FANS?

    SO DON’T BE A G-UNIT HATER/BLACK WALL STREET FLUFFER,EMBRACE THAT WHICH IS 50 CENT AND BE THANKFUL THAT HIS PRESENCE IN HIP-HOP KEEPS THE CULTURE ALIVE AND KICKING.

    She’s so dumb. ugh…

    JIGGA YOU DESERVE A BETTER WOMEN

  26. phi L Ly Says:

    yea dat sit looks like it mite be da top 2 da vitamin water bottle

  27. Granted Says:

    time for this washed up rapper(50) to retire, he hasnt had a hit in years, and isnt lyrical enough to impress anyone.

    50 has turned hip hop into a publicity stunt and proved that you dont need skill on the mic to sell
    50 is no longer relevant, he’s not sure if he is a singer or a thug
    he made snitching cool and has been the main factor in the decline in new york hip hop
    instead of uniting the east coast 50 has divided it

    time for him to retire, but he said it before, and lied (when kanye outsold him) so not sure how much his word is worth …

    50 retiring will be the best thing that can happen for hip hop

  28. DJYAN Says:

    Stickee..SHUT IT NEGRO

    pIggee ross.. well put my nigga!!

    niggaz got to stop hatin on ANY RAPPER AS A MATTER FACT.. just support good music and the hustle.. niggas really hate on fif cz of the MONEY.. i guess thats black folk.. no other nigga should make money than their own god damn self..

  29. dabmoreboi85 Says:

    50 will sell more on 3/24 based on his fanbase. But as far as quality of albums go, Rick Ross will more than likely have the better album. Rick is just far superior to 50 musically. Let us be honest for a min. 50 hasnt produced a solid piece of work since the Get Rich or Die Trying Soundtrack. Businesswise, nobody is more of a threat or power in the Hip-Hop community as 50, which is definitely noteworthy. But its amazing how someone who brought so much to the game in such a short period of time, could musically fall so drastically as 50 has done. Honestly, how long are we going to allow his business ventures and successes overshadow his musical talent?? He should have kept to his word and stopped recording after Mr. West outsold him. As for 3/24… If Im short at the music store, I will be purchasing Officer Ricky!!!

    And as for 50 comparing himself to Jay-Z…..nigga need to be slapped hard..pimp style

  30. ridalen Says:

    piggy ross is the DEFINITION of a stan. youre making 50 sound like some sort of hip hop messiah. needless to say thats a rediculous exaggeration. yes he is entertaining but as long as he keeps chasing the past musically (everytime out he wants to recreate GRODT….impossible) hell never succeed. keep the past in the past and look forward. musically 50 really disappoints me.

    also….hell NEVER be as respected in hip hop as a Jay-Z. its a tough pill to swallow for him but its one he will have to come to terms with. he can blame himself tho…he has no integrity. i cant even remember one real risk hes taken since 03. even his movie roles support his ‘tough guy’ image. i really used to like 50 too…smh

  31. BKBADGUY Says:

    50 GONE…JAY GONE..EM GONE…ONLY WAY HIPHOP WILL STILL BANG IF 50 PUSH BANKS EVEN HARDER…IF NOT WHO THE FUK YALL GOT…LIL WHOOPI,OFFICER DOWN RICKY,WHOOOO????????????????NO BODY KNOW WAT THEY GOT UNTIL THEY LOSE IT…FUKIN HATAS

  32. 2cool4u Says:

    he do look like a dog in that shit jay holdin his hand like slow down boy!! HA HA HAAAA.

    P.S THIS NIGGER IS A DICK RIDER COMPARES HIMSELF 2 JAY-Z, SOMEBODY SHOOT THIS GAY-UNIT PLEASE?

  33. 2shooters Says:

    LoL..
    50 Wont Retire..
    That Nigga Been Going Hard Since 2002..
    His Mixtape Catalog Is Legendary..
    And Fif Has So Many Billboard Hits That He Can Tour Till He’s 45..

    **Note 50 Has To Sign A New Deal For Himself And G-Unit Coming This Year..** (Banks Is A Free Agent) Picture 50 Being A Free Agent After BISD Drops..Some Label Gonna Pay Him Crazy Dough..

    So Haters Don’t Get Cha Hopes Up..
    50 Will Be Around Until Maybe 2014..

  34. 4s run it Says:

    HIS SECOND ALBUM SHOULDVE BEEN HIS LAST ALBUM DA NIGGA COULDNT RAP SINCE GET RICH R DIE TRYIN AND DA SOUNDTRACK

  35. pk123 Says:

    bkbadguy if you really thing that Banks is the only rapper that can keep hip hop” banging then you are an idiot

  36. jusblazein187 Says:

    this is what 50 cent does…causes beef before his next cd so he get as many sells as he can cause in actuality his songs are all garbage..Cutis-kayne,Massacre-ja rule and others, Get rich or die tryin-ja rule.50 cent nowhere near the lyricist or the sells or albums or hits and anthems that Jay z got..

  37. Granted Says:

    banks’ last album was a rotten apple … and thats who u dependin on?

    50 cent killed new york hip hop

  38. Granted Says:

    50 and jay both hustle HARD, so 50 gets MAD props cause he makes money, but 50 is no where close to jay on the mic
    jay is a GREAT rapper , and jay is helping to unite the east coast

    50 is not a good rapper … and has done everything to hold back other artists albums
    (not on the g-string unit) which is why new york hip hop seems dead …

    take 50 out and watch the east coast make a comeback

  39. the real gangster Says:

    50 cent is beter than jay-z anyway!!!50cent is the best raper in (N.Y)right now
    1.50cent
    2.Nas
    3.jay-Z
    4.the rest of all new york rapers are all below thes greats! in no perticular order.

  40. steve Says:

    i was at this concert in the pic at madison square garden two years ago fron row seats no bs it was crazy

  41. Lysia Says:

    the difference between 50 and jay is that jayz had classics.and 50 dont
    point blank

  42. HIP-HOP! Says:

    lool im not even gunna believe that 50s retiring, he said he was gunna retire if he lost to kanye’s graduation, which he did, and hes still rapping…not that thats a bad thing. just stop saying you’re retiring when u fully know youre not gunna

  43. lol@50cent haters Says:

    why the fuck you haters here bloggin about 50 cent. Go get money fuck boiz.. for real. You say 50 isn’t to lyrical and I agree. But his GRODT and how to rob days he was fire on the mic, and if you say otherwise your just a str8 up fucking hater. Now a days if he really trys he can come out with a nice track.. but I think he has his mind on to many other things to get back to his How to rob days. Yall niggaz wack .. half you people prolly have no jobs and don’t get money, but yet come on here to hate… lol@yall fuck boiz

    BITCH NIGGAZ BEFORE YOU BLOG. BITCH NIGGAZ GET A FUCKING JOB!

  44. lol@50cent haters Says:

    Jay Z is one of the best to do it, but his new shit is simply garbage, c’mon be honest with yourselves, Jay-z hasn’t had a good street album since fucking the black album.

  45. DorseyJay2FP Says:

  47. RANDOM E-THUG Says:

    HOW TO ROB,WANKSTA,21 QUESTIONS,HATE IT OR LOVE IT,IN DA CLUB,ETC ETC ETC ETC

    THE REAL DIFFERENCE IS JAY-Zs CLASSICS ARE CONSCIOUS MUSIC,50 CENTS ARE GANGSTA MUSIC.

    POINT BLANK PERIOD OPEN AND SHUT CASE JOHNSON

  48. Granted Says:

Gets it in – is so corny, sat. sun. mon. tues. wedns. thurs. shut the F up. that song is horrible. and i’m sure he’s gonna buy like 100,000 albums himself. 50 was aight in the beginning of his career, I get money was a good look but he stole Cassidy’s Ima Hustler swag on the song.

The bitch nigga cant sell cds without creating a beef with another rapper. example: ja rule, fat joe, camron, rick ross, lil wayne, ti, game, young buck. The nigga even had the balls to throw rocks at the throne of jay z. Fake ass nigga dont have any substance in his flow. He just a battle rapper. “Im all about a dollar. What the fuck is 50 cents”

  75. i dont care what anyone Says:

    50 been keepin NY poppin as far as rap is conerned… i think he can retire happily… he has a couple careers ended under his belt… besides that he’s a great businessman so how can he not be compared to jayz…. o and if he actually retires better believe the plk is gonna hold the unit down and step up his game by tenfold…
