Things aren’t looking too good for 50 Cent’s forthcoming ‘Curtis’ album. According to reports, execs at the G-Unit leader’s record label, Interscope, are unhappy with the lack of public interest in regard to the rapper’s latest singles ‘Amusement Park’ and ‘Straight To The Bank’. This, apparently, was a major factor in the decision to push the album back from June to September. 50 is said to be frustrated and is ‘attempting to salvage the situation’.I can’t say I didn’t expect it. 50’s tactic of starting beef with other rappers to generate a buzz around his own album got tired real quick. It’s as if he started to believe his own hype and now no one is checking for him. I really don’t see this ‘Curtis’ album performing as well as any of his other CD’s. Seems he’s heading for the same fate as Ja Rule…
Will 50 Cent Succeed With ‘Curtis’?
I don’t think he will get too far with this album. I never really saw what people saw in his music from the start. (But if people can like laffy taffy , i guess anything is possible).
i actually like straight to the bankand amusment park, both good songs
This is great news. Why would anyone choose to support a person who degrades several groups of people.
I don’t think this one will do well at all.The videos he released from the cd aren’t doing well either. I listened to the songs they are typical 50,talkin’ crap about his money and how other people wish they were him. Whatever 50, that’s old and he is played right now. He needs to try and change his image like many other artists have had to do to. Come together with some of the people he has crossed and let go of all that beef sh*t.He has burned so many bridges with other artist I’m not even sure if anyone will work with him. The public has lost interest in him and his juvenile tactics to sell music.
The guy is s***. I would literally kick his ass
Most rappers fade after 1 album. After 3 albums and tons of mix tapes, what else is there for him to say as an artist?
this is the natural order of things. Every rapper becomes irrelevent after 2 or 3 albums.
He is worth 350 million dollars. Who really believes that he is still selling drugs and driving around queens looking for people to kill?
Karma is a b****
First off 50 just got 400million from the water i don’t think he really give a fu*k what haters think and i think his ablum will do great
he is never gonna sell as much as get rich or die trying.. never. that album was the s*** and he aint came hard like that since..
i dont like his music too much but i do respect his hustle. dude is real smart
i agree with you, artistiik geek, i never could understand how people can like laffy taffy!!!!! but…everything is possible… as u say. J.T.
Karma is a b*tch, ain’t it?
I’ve always said that hardcore rappers who don’t eventually become teachers go the way of the dinosaur.The public exhausts of ego.It desires leadership.That’s why 2pac is the best selling rapper of all time.He showed us a way through.50’s music on the other hand is like take ,take,take an give nothing back……no appreciation…..like he doesn’t love those who have made him rich.He is a stellar business stratagist an many a ghetto youth can learn alot from him.I hope this message finds it’s way to him because he has the potential to be a great black general for our times.A little guidence an appreciation is all we need.(in between the women an champagne of course)
I’m not suprised at the news either. 50 is basically the George Bush of rap in regards to using controversy to get attention only to have it bring about his downfall.
George Bush used September 11 to gain popularity so that he could then invade Iraq. 50 used the public’s growing animosity towards Ja Rule to help his debut album sell only to do what Ja Rule did and beef with other rappers. The joke on on both of them is that for Bush the Iraq War has proven unwinnable as the terrorist groups have grown stronger and he has lost a lot of support from allies. And 50, his beef with other rappers has gotten he and G-Unit lyrically slaughtered as he’s slowly learning that these other guys aren’t pushovers like Ja Rule was. Plus, Dre, Eminem and Aftermath aren’t lifting a finger to help him this time.
Although controversy sells, too much of it will spell one’s downfall. I hope Dubya and Fiddy have learned their lesson.
50 is weak as hell, his structures of his raps are whack too. The only thing he has going for him are his beats….and even those aren’t his own…50 overall is failing and i can’t wait to see his downfall
50 lived by the sword(starting beefs to boost hood love) now he will die by the sword. Sad too cause the dude got talent. Gotta admit both song sound just like every other single that has come out of the G-Unit Camp for the last five years. Get some new beats dude!!!!
