What Is Your Opinion On 50 Cent's Career?

[Mikey1990]

- I think his first 2 albums were good
Mainly because he was hungry and had a good flow and great beats
lyrically he was always average

- his last 2 albums have been terrible
because his flow is different and is growling like a dog

[Robbie G]

Neat when he started but got old really fast, didn't evolve as an artists.

[Satire]

Great career, shitty rapper.

[SoldierShady]

Ok, I heard the song 'Power of the dollar' on Fif's first album for the first time today and man oh man! He was definitely hungry, his flow and content were on fucking point.

[embm]

ya he ddnt grow as an artist
but luckly he branched out 2 othr thngs (actin/water...)

[dR3]

He made a ton of money, so that's a great career.
But not that much of a talent.

[Shadysapathy]

his career is over

[MikeNUFC]

Listening to How To Rob a minute ago. I wonder if 50 listens to that and thinks of how ironic that song is now.

POTD was a good album, GRODT was good but mainly due to production/promotion, then he got worse and worse. I guess he lost inspiration.

But in terms of career you can't really argue with it, I wouldnt say he's a good rapper though.

[Tornado]

Hey, he came for the money, that's what made him hungry in the early days, now he can do whatever, so yeh, probably the best carrear of ANYONE musically in the last 10 years

[EminemBase]

I think he's gotten worse every album and totally fucked himself from complete and utter lack of true self-awareness or intelligence.

He thinks he's self-aware because he expands on things logically or, attempts to but he doesn't follow his own advice. He reeks of desperation, has massive ego issues - Wants everybody to love him and him only, cannot stand another person being loved more.

This is evident in many interviews with him and Em where he interrupts Em constantly and opens his fat face about his next steaming pile of shit album or silly little playground beef. His career has been built on image and drama and very little talent.

At first the image and drama blinded people, everyone was tricked into thinking this man had supreme influence through his talent when in fact it was everything but. His music is a by-product of his success not the driving force.

People like Eminem and Nas will be remembered for their incredible lyricism and creativity. And despite all of the equally stupid, personal bullshit that's been focused on with both of them and others alike, history will largely forget it all. Their talent towers far above the rest of it.

With 50, it's the other way around. He's nothing without the image and drama. That's why every album he goes out of his way a few months before to re-hash an old beef, try to shock the public with an outrageous comment or randomly insulting another artist to create a new beef.

Obviously people are beyond used to it now and that's why everyone sees his music for what it is now. The other crap fades more and more with time and he exposes his shitty music more and more.

The Power of the Dollar had his best flows and lyricism. Get Rich was great but largely due to production, it totally drove the album. The Massacre was a heap of shit. People let him get away with having a handful of good tracks and calling it a good album. Where as Em has to have 15 flawless tracks or it's another Encore. Curtis was as useful as a coaster and a little less interesting and Before I Self Destruct was average at best. His content just doesn't cut it.

Artistically, he stinks. Back when he was on his way up, he had some nice wit and technique. All he truly brought to the table though was the mixture of dark melodic hooks with rhythm and rhyming. But, it gets old quick and the richer he gets, the more deluded he gets and the worse his music gets.

He's totally self-destructed (intentional) any glimmer of unique talent he started out with and has become lost and bewildered. Believing his own hype, thinking he's way way way above his station, totally overrating and exaggerating his impact and significance.

The guy is a self-obsessed bore. Over the course of four albums, he's repeated himself more than LL's "Rock the Bells" when it was scratched by Jazzy Jeff at the Def Jam ceremony. Not only has he repeated himself but he's not expanded on any of his views or content, nothing about him has truly evolved or become new in any sense of the word. He's beyond predictable.

The best next move he could make would be to put the mic down for good, stop fucking up Em's tracks and image by association and go stick his bowling ball head in a buffer until it comes out shiny. Maybe the whizzing mechanics will entice his noggin to conjure up some lyricism which isn't about hoes and riches and transform him into the rapper he wrongly thinks he is. Make him be what he's always thought he is but never has been: INTERESTING.

Gangsta this, hollow tip that, HI My Name's 50 - I can't fucking rap!

50 Cent will not be remembered as a great rapper or even approaching the realm of the top fucking ten. He'll be remembered as a gangsta clown who punched way above his weight with a lot of help from a pair of hip-hop giants. Oh yeah, don't forget... He's been shot 9 times. Sorry, just thought I'd let you know again, in case you hadn't heard it any of the 56,789 times mentioned from 2003-now with any news or promotional clip involving his name.
