as much as i want it to happen i don't see them ever going Gold or selling big units ever again. this is why 50 G-Unit & Game is now independent. they know they are now far away from the days on Interscope. they still got some of their fans from those days but most of them moved on.

As far as sales go.. All they need is the right hit record..
Musically, 50 is better than he's been Ina long time
I haven't messed with game Ina while but his new single is dope too.
Personally idc wether or not they sell records.. I enjoyed AA thoroughly. Best body of work from 50 since the massacre.

I Get Money was a bigger record and better record than most rappers could ever make.
Sooooo it makes no difference
the only way i see 50 doing well is if he releases a really big mainstream record, something people could also relate to. maybe something like Hustler's Ambition or maybe a crossover hit. AA was good for a mixtape, but to be called an album is just absurd. maybe my expectations are too high, but he will never reach those times of the past. sales don't really matter these days, but he's built his career on breaking people's balls over it.

My bad it was on Curtis. I thought it was on Before I Self Destruct. It only went platinum though
Before I Self Destruct barely went gold, and that was five years ago. Curtis, seven.
Banks had two hits on HFM2 and didn't even go gold.

When's the last time Ja Rule was talked about? For a reason other than 50 Cent.
When's the last time DMX was talked about?
Sure, he's not as big as Get Rich or Die Trying era, no one will ever be that popular again.... But to say a guy who is talked about as much as any other rapper who's hot right now, to say he's Ja Rule and DMX.... You missed the mark.
I mean for such an irrelevant rapper he sure gets talked about a lot.

he keeps getting talked about because he pushes himself into the scenes, all we hear about is his business deals. nothing is about his music, in which he fell off in. Steve Stoute was completely right about him. he just waits for something big to happen. i bet he thought AA was supposed to sell more that what he did, but the music is mediocre. he was a industry plant all along. without Em & Dre this dude would of been just another rapper who didn't get signed. it's not like he was a super lyricist to begin wth. he was carried by Em & Dre's production.

We talk more about 50's interviews than his music.
Nore and Trick Daddy give entertaining interviews also. Who checked for Noreaster 2?
I listened to a 10 minute Trick Trick interview and was thoroughly entertained, but would never listen to 10 minutes of his music.

your right if they where on top of their game in the early 2000's
drake would sell 6 7 8 million copy's of his music
but its not the early 2000's anymore
this is the era well it has been of non music sales since 2006

50's sound/music was just so raw...the money/fame got to him...understandable when you come from the situation he was in. He literally had the answer/formula to takeover and stopped running with it right after GRODT/BFM. Those 50/G Unit remixes on other peoples song made mixtapes damn interesting.

Man 50 is beyond done lol. And musically irrelevant. He does have the money and influence to get his videos and singles played on the radio when he initially pushes it...but after about a week or 2...never heard from again or seen again.
He really thought that smoke joint w/ Tre Songs produced by Dre was going to be a hit lol.
Every month I see a new 50 video on MTV Jams...and they're mostly bad.
That joint with kid kid is chills though.

Definitely very early 2000's, cause once Love Below hit, it was a wrap for that grimness and real edginess in hip hop, on a mainstream scale at least.

Why does that even matter? People still can't enjoy his music?

You can enjoy his music all you want. I enjoy Camron and a host of other rappers who aren't "hot" or "relevant" right now.
Dudes in here were arguing 50s relevancy musically.
