50 Cent

bluntman said:Has anyone actually heard the cover
of 50 Cent's "In Da Club"?
It’s like a US version of his original track, but way, WAY better.

The guy's name is Liam. I know him from an old online forum.

Let's get back to the actual point here 😉 what do you all think about those 50 major losers at the Grammys? I mean, having five nominations and walking away with absolutely nothing 😁 lol...
Honestly, I think 50 did better with those niche albums than they did with this new stuff. But hey, whatever. It was designed to sell, it worked, they made millions, and life goes on 🙂 ah...
Anyway, I really need to stop watching MTV Cribs 😁 or whatever that show is called... the one where they tour through celebrity mansions... it’s enough to make you faint... sigh...

Hmm, that discussion went down about eight months ago... I don't really see the point in jumping right back into it now.

I didn't really follow the specific date since I was just scrolling through for new posts. Since this hip-hop thread is such a rarity, I figured I'd throw something out there. If someone else posts, cool. If not, also cool. 🙂 I wasn't around back then anyway, so I didn't have much to say, haha... 🙂

Oh, yeah, I didn't realize there was a time limit on posting... 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 👋

So, I just finished listening to this 50 Cent album..
Some tracks might stay on loop for me, while others? I probably won't ever touch them again..
btw, what are you guys thinking about it?

I’ve been sitting here listening through the whole thing, and if I had to pick my top six based on that first impression, it would look something like this:

1. Psycho,
2. Death To My Enemies,
3. The Invitation,
4. Gangsta's Delight,
5. Sol Disrespectful,
6. you're right ok

It’s decent enough—not a bad CD at all. I’ve given the full album a couple of spins now, but honestly? I think I'll just keep looping these specific tracks on repeat.

👍

Solid Pop R&B album, gotta give him props

Glad he kept some rap in there xD

Oh, please. Stop it.

50 Cent is a rapper, and it's pretty obvious you don't have a clue what you're talking about, so maybe just spare us the embarrassment.

And don't worry, he definitely didn't "keep any rap." If your ears aren't broken, go listen to his new album Before I Self Destruct and you'll see what I mean.

My absolute favorites have gotta be Get it hot, Gangsta's Delight, and Psycho.

It’s 3.3. in Vienna, over at Central Park

Thanks for the heads up. If only I could actually make it😢

btw, you guys have to check out the music video for you're right ok . It’s honestly incredible🙏😁

One of these days, I’m actually going to pull the trigger and finish my greatest idea yet!
Fifty cents!!! — That's all it takes for me to be both the producer and the vocalist!🙂
I'll just grab some MP3 instrumentals
record my own covers over them, and drop an entire album!!!
Just me and the crew
So, someone please tell me where I can find
instrumentals
that capture that classic American trash-pop vibe!!!
😉

Why on earth did my post get deleted?!😠😠😠

50 Cent is a rapper—and honestly, it sounds like you have no clue what you're talking about, so maybe don't embarrass yourself.

And don't worry, he definitely didn't leave anything behind. Unless you've got hearing issues, just go listen to his new album Before I Self Destruct and you'll see what I mean.

But hey, if there's no music left, then that's just how it goes.😁

I wish they would just play Before I Self Destruct, lol

We aren't quite there yet.

electricbison3 said:Oh, give me a break. Seriously?

50 Cent is just... man, where do I even start? He's a whole different breed. I don't know about you guys, but I’ve been sitting here thinking about how much the whole scene has shifted lately, and honestly, it just makes me want to scream. You look at some of these tracks coming out now and it feels like there's zero soul left in the game. Like, where is the grit? Where is the actual feeling? I was scrolling through some old forums earlier—remember those days?—and seeing people talk about the classics always gets my blood pumping. It’s crazy how we used to argue about whether *Gangsta's Delight* was actually influential or just catchy, or how everyone would lose their minds over *Sol Disrespectful*. Now, everything is just polished, plastic, and frankly, boring as hell. And don't even get me started on the live shows. I saw someone talking about a show at Madison Square Garden recently and it reminded me of how much better things were during *The Final Lap Tour*. There was an energy then that you just don't see when these modern acts are playing to a crowd of kids who are more interested in their phones than the bass hitting their chests. I saw `stormybison5` posting something similar the other day, trying to claim that the new wave is "refreshing," and I just had to sit back and laugh. Refreshing? It’s bland! It’s like eating unseasoned chicken every single day. You need that spice, that tension, that feeling that the artist might actually go off the rails. It’s that *Psycho* energy that made the music feel alive. If you aren't pushing the boundaries, why even bother stepping into the booth? Anyway, I'm probably just rambling again. I tend to do that when I get fired up. But seriously, if we keep settling for this mediocre, watered-down stuff, the whole culture is going to dry up. We need the rebels, the loudmouths, and the ones who aren't afraid to fail spectacularly. That's the only way anything real ever gets made.Look, it's pretty obvious you have absolutely no clue what you're even talking about, so maybe just sit this one out before you end up making a complete fool of yourself.

And don't even get me started, man, he didn't leave a single trace of that old sound behind. Seriously, if your ears aren't broken or something, just go listen to his new album, Before I Self Destruct, and you'll see exactly what I mean.

Man, let me tell you, 50 Cent is a straight-up entrepreneur, and he’s killing it at a whole different level!

Join the conversation over here ->

So, I think 50 Cent is playing at Madison Square Garden on October 17th with Bust Rhymes. It’s part of The Final Lap Tour, celebrating 20 years since he dropped Get Rich or Die Tryin', which was such a huge album for hip hop, I guess.

Does anyone happen to know how much tickets are going to run me?
