**Official 50 Cent Thread **Street King Immortal Final Album?**

The hook on pilot was dope to me..

As far as him sounding dated.. I keep Paid in Full and 36 chambers on repeat so I'm prolly the wrong one to comment on that... I Can't gel with any artist that came out after 2005 other than Kendrick.

Can't name a single future or French Montana song..

50 was good with hooks ten years ago. Did you listen to the title song and Pilot?

In this Future and French Montana era 50's hooks sound dated. Musics changed. Nelly was once hot too. They might have sounded better if someone else did them for him.
I think it's ego

Puff is able to do music because he wants to as a vanity project. Puff's fame isn't tied to his music.

50 wants to, and pretends, but he can't. Which is funny, because 50 has been going around promoting and ******** on Puff's Big Homie at the same time.

yea 50's ego is on Cloud 9, judging by alot of these songs he hasn't evolved either. his subject matter is boring and he sounds like he doesn't wanna rap anymore.

2005? It's not like 50 is that great of a lyricist. His music was always hook and image driven in the first place. He came out doing the exact same thing Ja Rule was doing.

Some music stands the test of time. Normally production wise and lyrically.

36 Chambers does, Return To The 36 Chambers didn't.

50 hasn't had a hit since I Get Money, which was seven years ago.

The "Pilot" hook was ALMOST crazy good, that "no, nonono no" ruined it for me

That's my favorite part

 

[Remy LeBeau]

The part he adds on the Smoke hook is dope too

 

[Hahahaha]

Out of 14 songs, I like 10. I'll buy the physical next week

Can't get enough of Winner Circle

 

[Peep Game]

Flip On You Not sure why that's a bonus track

 

[delete]

Just listened to this album and I like more than half the songs easily. This is definitely a good look for him. If he still had Interscope backing him he could have done some decent numbers on it. 

 

[thunderchunk69]

you know what's crazy.

that TROY AVE song that's on the radio sounds like old 50, but 50 don't sound like old 50.
melody wise at least.

50 Cent Reveals "Animal Ambition" Record Sales Expectations

by Jay Balfour


50 Cent says Troy Ave sounds "so much" like him, details KRS-One's influence and explains his record label plans.

With his Animal Ambition set for release next week, 50 Cent stopped by The Breakfast Club yesterday for a final leg of promotion.

Speaking with the Power 105.1 show, 50 detailed his plans for his independent label following his next two albums.

“I’m getting ready to concentrate—following the release of Street King Immortal—I’ll just be focusing on bringing new artists in so I can work on their music behind the scenes,” he said. “I want to build something that’s special. I think I can actually turn my company into a major record company.”

Asked if the major label prototype is outdated in the current landscape, 50 alluded that despite some changes, it’s still a viable business model.

“It’s not the same return, but it’ll be major record company influence,” he said. “We all would just have a major record company as far as them utilizing the influence to create what Beats is. So you make $3 billion. What they did was take the resources and energy that was connected to Interscope Records and they just put it behind the brand. It grew. When did Beats start?”

50 Cent Says Troy Ave Sounds "So Much" Like Him

Describing his view of Troy Ave, 50 Cent hinted that he turned down signing the rapper after feeling like his style was too similar to his own.

“He’s so new,” he said. “Every time I hear a record I hear part of my old stuff. It’s obvious I’m a huge influence on actual his career...My problem with it when I heard it was so much me. It’s gon’ take time for him to turn into Troy. I have an influence too, I listen to music. It was so important that you had your own style, that I didn’t follow anything that was there. I listened, I appreciated different things from different artists. Like KRS was one of my favorites in the beginning. The aggression in ‘Bridge Is Over,’ you see where that falls into some of the content and material that I created. But, it doesn’t sound like KRS-One. It’s still 50 Cent being 50 Cent.

“When you get past that little hurdle," he added. "I know in his mind it’s having a New York sound. It’s cool. I’ve seen guys come and be like Biggie Smalls. Guerilla Black. Guerilla Black was one of the one’s that I looked at and I was like, ‘Yo, maybe he sounds like that ‘cause even when talks he sounds like Biggie to me at different points.’ With Shyne, he was doing that voice. ‘Cause he’s not big. You would get that from Guerilla Black and from B.I.G. just from being bigger guys. There was a few Jay Zs that came through. Guys that rapped just like Jay Z.”

50 Cent Discusses Sales Projections For Animal Ambition

During the interview, 50 also spoke about his sales expectations for Animal Ambition, which is available as a stream on HipHopDX now.

"I can't do good," he said. "In my head, what good is because of the success I've had in the past, that's so much lower. I've done so much that having the music that makes people enjoy themselves, that actually means something at the moment is the goal. Like when you said, 'Do you care whether you sell the record or not?' I do care that it actually is within our culture. That it means something."

Responding to a comment about his pushing the place of record sales into the public arena, 50 explained feeling like his career's sales were unprecedented.

"I was doing so much," he said. "It's all more than I thought. I didn't know that. You had to die, you gotta have a double CD, you gotta be Tupac and get killed to do ten million records. All Eyez On Me, that was the only time I ever saw it before. When it goes past ten to thirteen I was like, 'What?'"

guess he knew AA wouldn't do well sales-wise, so why even release it? why not just release a studio quality album instead?

50 just brought out G Unit at summerjam including young buck

Man the Unit making music together would be HUGE for all four of them.. People still love G-Unit, and want those guys back (minus Yayo, but he's the package deal)

 

[Remy LeBeau]

50 shut the whole show down

50 said he was cool with them all, they were like his brothers but were messing up and lazy.

I need a song with him and NaS again.




Who bought Young Buck's chains back?

 

[delete]
