50 Cent Says Artists Are Trying To Be Like The Audience They Want To Attract
Do you agree with his logic? If so what artists would you say is doing it?
50 also states the album is close to perfect:”I feel like my album is as close to perfect as it’s gonna get,” 50 told MTV News last week. “I’m reaching the point to where if I have to continue to write it, I’ll be overkilling it.”(Full Story: MTV)

What? 50 Cent shut up! This is coming from an artist who has done everything in his power to be the tough guy and gangster thug and now his fake ass can’t incorporate his image with the rock star or skate board persona…now he wants to attack the artist that can! 50 is a joke it was ok to have all the fans (audience) act like a gangster…because that was the image he portrayed himself to be! If he could be the rock star or gangster artist who would be! Kids no longer want to be gangster…they want to be rock stars now…50 is mad because he boxed himself in as an artist…he is one dimensional…LOSER! This is the same guy that said, “Fuck the hood the hood doesn’t buy albums…the suburbs do.” Well, now the kids in the suburbs are saying, “Fuck 50 Cent we want LIL WAYNE the ROCK STAR…LOL! All these artists are corny…fake gangsters and rock stars!

Rapgodfatherz shucks. Somebody once said never say never though..it is right on the tip of my tongue..
June 24th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
Rapgodfatherz, stupid is as stupid types. you were the same dirty little kid said there will never be a black president. LOL.. here’s a never for you.. you’ll never be open-minded.
June 24th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
oh, i forgot the topic at hand. 50’s still putting out sanitation material. his competition right now are young new artist and they’re killing him.
June 24th, 2009 at 5:23 pm
He setting us up. When his album doesnt do well, He will use these type of excuses. He is not getting the response he wants from the shit he’s been putting out lately, so he has been making subtle excuses. You cant fool me nigga. I see thru that bullshit. To bad he is so one dementional.
June 24th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
And fuck the spelling police! I know I spelled some shit wrong!
June 24th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
50cent is so damn scared to drop his album. He knows if he drops and it flops is the end of his career. Jim jones and bow wow got dropped already. You’re next nigga.
June 24th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
rofl 50 is a dummy. who is he to say how nigs dress and act? its not even being a rockstar or sater or w/e its being creative and yourself. now niggas went from wearing extra long tee’s to rockin a mohawk and skull n chains. but damn…when will 50 realize good music sells..and he puts out garbo..
June 24th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
“Do you agree with his logic? If so what artists would you say is doing it?”
HIS LOGIC IS COMPLETELY SOUND.THERE ARE A LOT OF ARTISTS OUT THERE TRYING TO ACT AND BEHAVE DIFFERENT TO HOW THEY NORMALLY CARRY THEMSELVES;SOME CALL IT REINVENTION,SOME CALL IT NEW DIRECTION,I CALL IT COONING.
IN THIS CASE 50 IS MORE THAN LIKELY REFERRING TO LIL WAYNE AND HIS TERRIBLE ATTEMPT AT CONJURING UP A ROCK ALBUM.AS A FAN OF ALL THE MAJOR GENRES IN MUSIC I ALMOST BLED TEARS WHEN I HEARD HIS HORRIBLE ROCK SONG,IT WAS JUST -THAT- BAD.OF COURSE,THE BLACK PEOPLE THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE ON ROCK MUSIC PROCLAIMED WEEZY’S EFFORTS AS BEING “DOPE!”,”TIGHT!”,”RIDEABLE!”.THESE SAME BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE FIRST TO GO MUTE WHEN THE SUBJECT OF THE RELEASE DATE FOR HIS “DOPE!” ROCK ALBUM IS BROUGHT UP,AND THEY’RE ALSO THE SAME BLACK FOLK WHO LACK ENOUGH BRAIN PROCESSING POWER TO PUT 2 AND 2 TOGETHER TO FIGURE OUT -WHY- HIS ROCK ALBUM HAS BEEN QUIETLY SWEPT UNDER THE RUG.
NOW IT SHOULD BE MENTIONED THAT THERE ARE ALSO OTHER RAPPERS OUT THERE WHO ARE JUST BEHAVING LIKE THEIR INNER SELF.YOU HAVE THE DELUSIONAL RICK ROSS WHO THINKS HIS LOWER MIDDLE CLASS BANK BALANCE GRANTS HIM THE TITLE “THE BIGGEST BOSS OF MIAMI”,YOU HAVE THE HOMOSEXUAL KANYE WEST WHO SUFFERS FROM THE ILLUSION OF INCLUSION,ETC ETC.
YOU ALSO HAVE THE RAPPERS WHO THINK THAT IN ORDER TO APPEAL TO THE WHITE DEMOGRAPHIC THEY NEED TO PRESENT THEMSELVES IN A MORE “INTELLIGENT” MANNER,THIS IS WHY YOU SEE RAPPERS WITH PERFECT VISION WEARING PRESCRIPTION GLASSES ON MAGAZINE COVERS AND NUMEROUS PHOTO SHOOTS.THE IRONY IN THIS SITUATION IS THEY ONLY MANAGE TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK LIKE EVEN BIGGER DONKEY’S BY WEARING SUCH EYEWEAR.I SHOULD MENTION THOUGH THAT THIS ISN’T EXCLUSIVE TO RAPPERS,YOU’VE GOT ACTORS AND ACTRESSES AS WELL DOING THE SAME THING AND FAILING MISERABLY JUST LIKE RAPPERS.
AT THE END OF THE DAY,50 CENT RAISES A VALID POINT YET WILL STILL GET NEGATIVELY CRITICIZED BECAUSE HE CURRENTLY HOLDS THE TITLE OF “BIG BAD BULLY” IN HIPHOP.WHAT THE ‘HATERS’ DON’T REALIZE IS THE FACT THAT THEIR DAILY ‘HATE’ SCHEDULE REVOLVES AROUND 50 CENT IS PROOF ENOUGH OF THE NEW YORK RAPPERS SUCCESS IN THIS BUSINESS.

June 24th, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Seems like Fif AKA the GOAT is taking shots at Lupe & Wayne.
June 24th, 2009 at 6:25 pm
50 is right about targeting his demographic. But it kinda reminds of the republican party. Energizing your base isnt enough anymore to sale records or even win elections. McCain got Sarah Palin and wanted all the super religious repubs to vote for him and still loss. If 50 album is super hood he may go gold at best. He needs to cross over and get some top 40 radio bullshit on the album if he wanna break a million units sold.
June 24th, 2009 at 6:26 pm
“now his fake ass can’t incorporate his image with the rock star or skate board persona…now he wants to attack the artist that can!”
LET ME ASK YOU A SERIOUS QUESTION;HOW MANY OF THESE RAPPERS WITH A SKATE BOARDER PERSONA CAN ACTUALLY SKATE AND UNDERSTAND THE SKATE BOARDING CULTURE,AND HOW MANY OF THESE RAPPERS BEHAVING LIKE BEGINNER ROCK STARS CAN ACTUALLY PLAY A FUCKING GUITAR?AND BY PLAY A GUITAR I MEAN THEY CAN PLUCK EVERY STRING AND STRUM OUT A MELODY WITHOUT JUNIOR ERROR.
YOU INTERNET DONKEYS ARE HILARIOUS,YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE RAPPERS WITH EXTRA SMEDIUM T-SHIRTS AND HELLO! JEANS ARE ROCK STARS BASED ON THEIR LOOK.I REALLY WONDER IF SOME OF YOU GUYS REALIZE JUST HOW INCREDIBLY BRAINWASHED YOU ARE.
June 24th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Why MTV canceled his show? That Cornbread nigga was hilarious……..
June 24th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
fifty is a smart dude. however, please leave the analytical stuff for nas. 50 is one of th biggest sellers of all time. i do not see anyone touching the 8 and 10 million records he sold on his first two albums.
50 tapped out artistically about 4 or 5 years ago. he might as well try to recreate “in da club” again for the 300th time.
June 24th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
That’s true.
June 24th, 2009 at 7:08 pm
well fif is doin his best 2 hang on in this rap game.LOL!!! and it dont look like its working… he stay takin shots at wayne 4 some odd reason… oh i knw why maybe its because wayne is the number 1 artist period… not just rap… of any music!!! so hes really just trying keep his name around. this new cd will be his worst selling album 2 date… and 50 career is pretty much ova… u see he couldnt even put ross away.. ross is still hot!!! funny guy tho, but try doing movies now
June 24th, 2009 at 7:22 pm
word Fif!!! Fuck the haters
BEfore I Self Destruct Mufuckaz!!! But B4 He Self Destruct, he’s about to show these rap niggas how to sell
POW!

^^^Do your dumb ass know how to read…I called them all fake: “All these artists are corny…fake gangsters and rock stars!” So who the fuck is brainwashed…you should ask your self can you comprehend?

The Colombian drug lords are brainwashing you Rick Ross
June 24th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Why would I play you? Rick listen to me
June 24th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Im all bout the dollars Who the fuck is 50 cent
June 24th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
so what if niggas wanna act like rockers or skateboarders to gain fan support from that crowd???
sounds like a hater to me, thats your job as an artist is to promote your album to whoever might buy that shit. presidential nominees go and do madd fake shit just to get votes we all know that would never waste they time if they wasnt running for election.
it sounds to me that 50 has boxed himself into a corner so he can only reach out to his southside queens niggas to buy album and we all know they aint doin that shit
why he didnt mention the billions of fake thug gangster rappers that talk tough just so gangsta niggas can support them?? its the same shit right
but those rappers he might be talkin bout have fans that he can never win over and it sounds like he throwing salt in they game
or business as usual for 50
June 24th, 2009 at 10:39 pm
j do not be shy..you wrote the rhyme!
June 24th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
fif did box himself in…its not about having a persona anymore its about being a true “artist”..all of fif’s foes are thru artist..fif killed hip hop by being the ultimate gangster..the world was saying hip hop was too violent and down graded women..fif made this stereotype true with his music…dnt get me wrong it ws good but now real hip hop is coming back with drake, wayne ,kanye and rick ross..yes rick ross..rick ross is a real artist who creates great music.
June 25th, 2009 at 4:19 am
Why does piggy ross think what he says goes??
Trust me when I say this…50 has had his time. It’s over. I’m sad to say that it is, but…it is. He’s finished. And why do you agree with every word he says. Are you 50??? You are the definition of a stan.
June 25th, 2009 at 5:23 am
woodfaaaace you ova baby. why is it takin so long to put out an album? and im surprised he still writing it. officer ross all the time…
June 25th, 2009 at 10:46 am
I understand what 50 is saying. Lil Wayne did tried too hard to be a rockstar & it didn’t work for him. That’s why the album is not out yet. With Kanye, he was in HEAVY MOURNING over his mom, so the shift musically was understandable.
June 25th, 2009 at 11:07 am
County of Kings……are you trying to sell “being fake”? LMFAO
Cosign piggy ross and good look on hitting the topic right on the head
June 25th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
50 wasn’t your album supposed to come out last May??? Why is it pushed back further than Jerry Rice’s hairline when he played for the Seahawks??? 50 should just stop. He sounds extremely idiotic.
June 25th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
1. I agree with Piggy Ross. Wayne’s “Rock Album” was the worst idea known to man. That single “Prom Queen” is TERRIBLE and a mockery to real rock music!!!
2. The people on this site are the ideal audience because you believe everything you see and hear almost instantly, and truly believe you are responsible for making up your own mind…..gotta love it!, but at the same time it’s scary and depressing…
3. If ANYONE believes, that 50 cent gives a FLYING FUCK about selling another album in his lifetime, than you need to enroll in some critical thinking courses at your local City Learning Enhancement Center STAT!!!
HE IS ONLY FULFILLING HIS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO INTERSCOPE RECORDS…PERIOD!!!! If he cared, he wouldn’t have told you what his next 2 albums will be titled 3 FUCKIN’ YEARS AGO SMDH!!!! Does that seem like someone that is putting their ALL into selling the most records possible???? He couldn’t give a fuck if he went Platinum or double plastic??
HE’S RICH BITCH!!!! He’s gonna finish out his contract, and find a way to settle down, enjoy life and keep making smart investments like he should. So for all of you waiting to tear B.I.S.D apart, he DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK!!!
4. While 50 cent works SMART, all your favorite rapper can do is work HARD which get’s you a fast track ticket to NOWHERESVILLE!!!
So score 1 again for King 50……. Outsmarting rappers and the average listener since 2002 SMDH…..
