@4…the bottle looks hot but the ad is gay…SMH at this dude admiring the bottle…now if that’s not the pot calling the kettle queer…
If you need a celebrity to sell a cologne it’s probably not that good to begin with. I stick with the classics like coolo water, Prada, Carolina Hererra 21, and Good Life by davidoff. But the best way to stand out is to wear some other shit that they ain’t selling in Macy’s, like some of them oils the incense dudes be selling on Canal street or in the hood in Brooklyn, lol.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Stop hatin. 50 is gonna keep puttin out different products. He’s rich and you’re not so shut da fuck up. How is this ad gay? Yall ppl are probably fat as shit and would never take ur shirt off in public so yall just hatin. Anyways i rock a cologne called 212. Bitches love that shit! i gotta try Power by 50 tho. The Oh Boy Cologne by Cam’ron was aight too but you get sick of it after a while

November 4th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
For God’s sake some of you are really ignorant. The AD is not GAY. He’s doing a model pose. Thats’ how male models pose for pics. Now is 50 a model? No he’s not but if you gonna do this type of Ad then this is a good look. 50 does have the body for it so he can pull this off.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
all the retard in here, the fragrance ad is not suppose to be a mug shot or him with a gun stupid. this is world wide shit . to #1,3,5,6 and all the haters

Actually this might change the views of the actual consumers regarding this cologne or should I say project but I guess with the necessary amount of marketing Dollars it will generate interest from the general public on his harsh realities.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:44 pm
lmao@#43…Jged take it eazy on them they dont know better.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:53 pm

wow fif looks good!
November 4th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
I’m not even a 50 fan, BUT saying the ad is mad gay, IS mad gay!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s almost like game recognize game.
November 4th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
If anybody else did this ish 50 would be the FIRST to clown them, talking about it ain’t “Gangster”.
How can this be a target for females, THIS ISN’T A FEMALE COLOGNE! And what the hell is so “powerful” about this?
November 4th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
i smell like David beckham instinct , or signature
November 4th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
It IS aimed at females. It is a fact that men wear cologne to smell good for the opposite sex. So when chicks see the ad, they pump the product and then men say, “Chicks like it”, so therefor you go and buy it. Also, your girl see the ad and because of the ad, decides to buy you the cologne for Christmas.
November 4th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Women are THE biggest consumers.

if the ad is for mens fragrance, then shouldnt there be a woman somewhere in the ad to suggest that women like the smell of this fragrance????
he is such a smart dumb nigga
if jay did this, 50 would say this is the type of moves that make him a non-confrontational icon and ppl feel like he’s approachable.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:15 pm

You bloggers are absolutely retarded ESPECIALLY SCORPIO.. E from BK is completely correct, the Ad is aimed at women to purchase the cologne for their men. Obviously it is going to appeal as “gay” to some of the male consumers.. people don’t speak before they think, ignorance is bliss, your all fucking stupid if your first thought was this is madddd gayyyy blah blah blah.. and I find it hard to believe 50 cent can sell a cologne by having a gangster image of him holding a sawed off shotgun and a mac10 with a bandanna on his face in a fucking Macy’s magazine or on their website. Not only do more women subscribe to Macy’s, but more women than men shop there as well.. APPEAL TO THE MASSES, that’s how you sell. If any of you have had a girlfriend who has bought you a gift, you would know cologne is one of the most common things to get for a guy and THE WOMAN BUYS IT FOR YOU
November 5th, 2009 at 3:28 am
SMH I’m actually shocked at all the ignorance reading a lot of these silly immature comments from people who can’t be older than 12 years old. It seems like most mothafuckas on here never seen a cologne Ad before. What do you expect a cologne Ad to look like? He’s working as a model in this Ad and this is exactly what a cologne Ad is suppose to look like.
Anyways 50 does have a great body but he’s no supermodel, I mean he’s no Tyson Beckford so obviously they had to airbrush this pic A LOT to make him look like a model. lol
November 5th, 2009 at 6:39 am
hahaha it seems like mor thin probably he’s stopped steroids

November 5th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
WOW THAT’S GAY CURTIS??? THOUGH YOU WAS ABOUT THAT CRIME WAVE SHIT!!!!YOU BITCH!
November 5th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
The funny thing is the dumbo bloggers calling the people who called a spade a spade stupid. P.Diddy who has won awards for his colognes never did no gay shit like this. As a matter of fact his ad was so hard Macy’s wouldn’t show it at first. it was Puff and 2 chicks looking like a threesome. Offended people. Now that’s marketing. Fif to be looking all greased up with his tat covered up = SELLOUT. How lame if it’s a fragrance for men then show some sexy bitches. Jay ad had not one man in it at all, it was creative. Fif look like a straight bitch he aint no real G anyway so I wouldn’t expect different.
