Music News: Damn Homie!!! 50 Cent LEAVES/DROPPED by Interscope/Shady/Aftermath

[shaddyvillethug]

You mad 'cause 50 broke up Dip-Set...

" From now on... Jimmy's the boss of Dip-Set... and Juelz is the capo... Cam's denoted to soldier."

he didn't break up shit

LMAOOOOO

CAM SOLD JUELZ FOR 1 MILLION

AND SOLD VADO FOR ANOTHER MILLION.


AS I ALWAYS SAY

I ONLY RIDE FOR FLEA

NOBODY ELSE!!!!

"That video ain't Queens, it's your backyard(Connecticut)
Curtis, it's messin' with your head bad
You that mad but dag that's security with red flags?"

 

[exiledking]

@ "power move"



This is like Will Smith falling off and producing his own low budget straight to dvd flicks. Would yall still think thats a "power move"?



Shit, this is like when A.I. couldn't get a NBA contract and played in China.



Damn homie



Curtis been had this coming.

Exactly. Guy who shit on everyone for being indie... Goes indie. His fans are insane.

He wanted to be in the convo w jay, Kanye, drake, em, the top guys... Not some selling his own shit.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

That was his downfall. He caught a hot ass Rick Ross and never recovered

...what? His shit was on a respirator before Ross. With this deal he will get paid more to be mediocre.

 

[Rollie_Fingaz]

you have to be trolling sating some shit like that


2 MMG albums, 2 Wale albums, Meek Mill, 2 or 3 Rawse albums, a ton of features on French Montana, DJ Khaled, Jay Z, Drake,Kanye, Rocko, and a few other #1 selling singles, and you really think Ross went down during that whole fiasco?

He did nothing but PROSPER after that 50 cent shit

And out of all that he really hasn't sold more than what he did on an indie label. He may have more notoriety but he has more people in his pockets. HE should have stayed indie.

 

[Pworld297]

Like biggie said get your money today because tomorrow they might not like you...or something like that lol

He was right though, one minute they fucking love you and the next minute they can't stand your ass....

 

[bigdicdaddy]

He was right though, one minute they fucking love you and the next minute they can't stand your ass....

Realist shit said on this thread - Wayne was on top now he's basically irrelevant - everyone gets to shine and get money it's what you do when the fame is gone

Realist shit said on this thread - Wayne was on top now he's basically irrelevant - everyone gets to shine and get money it's what you do when the fame is gone

Lmao Cept Wayne still has hits out there right now, was on top for damn near 10-15 years straight and is only "irrelevant" because he's finally chosen to back up a little.

Not to mention he has two of the other biggest artists in the game on his very relevant label.


And he never spent most of his interviews talking about what was wrong with everybody else when he was on top like mc dickhead, so people still check for him. If Wayne dropped an album right now it would it would prolly go gold.

50 explaining why he left interscope

0 Cent: Walking away from Interscope (Photo: Spencer Lowell For Forbes).





Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson spent much of his early life yearning for a record deal with one of the major labels. After a run with Universal-backed Interscope that began in 2003 and saw him sell over 30 million albums, he’s spent much of the past few years itching to leave.


Yesterday, he got his wish: he’s departing the label that launched his career to forge ahead as an independent artist. He has signed a worldwide distribution deal with Caroline/Capitol/UMG for G-Unit Records and his own releases, beginning with Animal Ambition, due out on June 3rd.


“It’s freedom to invest in your own ideas,” he told FORBES in his first interview since the news broke. “If ever I had a horse that I was betting on at the track, I’d like to be the horse. Let it be me, goddammit, because I’m going to run as hard as I can.”


He says his deal is structured similarly to Cash Money’s arrangement, which in which Bryan “Birdman” Williams’ label doles out a mere 7% of wholesale per album to Universal in exchange for distribution and support.


In conjunction with Eminem’s Shady Records and Dr. Dre’s Aftermath label, Interscope will continue to release and market 50’s lucrative back catalogue, including his 2003 multiplatinum opus, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.


“50 Cent is, and always will be, a marquee artist for us,” said Steve Berman, Vice Chairman of Interscope/Geffen/A&M, in a press release. “We respect his decision to pursue this new venture and the next chapter in his career, and wish him nothing but the best. He will always be a part of our family.”


The timing of 50’s split with Interscope comes as a bit of a surprise, given that he still owed the label another album. Artists rarely get out of their deals early without paying some sort of fee—five years ago, Jay Z famously bought back the last album he owed Universal for $5 million (and later sold it for $10 million)—but 50 says he didn’t have to fork over any cash.


“I’m a special case and situation,” he explains. “It’s also because of the leverage of having the strong relationships with Eminem and Dr. Dre. They don’t want me to be uncomfortable. They value our friendship to the point that they would never want [to jeopardize] it over that little bit of money.”


Added Eminem, in a statement: “I’ve developed a great friendship with 50 over the years, and that’s not going to change. We know 50 will have success in his new situation, and we remain supporters of both him and G-Unit.”


Of course, another big reason the split between 50 Cent and Shady/Aftermath/Interscope has been amicable is that all the labels involved have the same parent company (“If it wasn’t all under the Universal umbrella, it wouldn’t work,” 50 admits).


The move gives 50 greater flexibility to pursue the sort of unusual release tactics employed by some of his peers lately—for example, Jay Z’s agreement to release his last album via a Samsung mobile app in exchange for a guarantee that the company would buy 1 million copies at $5 apiece.


It also allows 50 to dictate his own schedule for recording and releasing music videos. The latest example: he was able to offer FORBES the opportunity to debut the video for “Funeral” below.


“It’s having the ability to do that versus, ‘It’s out of the question,’” he says. “Now those options have opened up.”

He didn't say "great space", "actual", "aggressive content", or any if his normal catch phrases one time. I'm proud of the brotha.

Wayne didn't get going until the Carter 2 (2005)and he eventual was on top of the snap music scene.

Son, you realize you've been hating on this nigga for his entire career?! you've successfully managed to hate on that man for so long, and in EVERY thread about him on BGOL, that his popularity has actually fallen low enough for some of your hate to make sense.

That's gotta be a record or something, you're probably MET's idol because he's been hoping for this day to happen for him and his Jay-Z crusade for years. I admire your dedication

Yes. I do. All that means is I called it. You should thank me. The truth does tend to make sense to people after it proves itself lol.

I said way back that I didn't like him because he was a hater. I hate haters.


I'd like to take credit for it, but he did it to himself.

He still has a lot of these fools thinking he's some kinda genius businessman so there's still more truth to come. Stay tuned lol

Lol Wayne wasn't on top for 10 years straight - you lost hella credibility with that statement/ he pop off with carter 2 I'll give him a hella buzz from dedication and no ceiling and fell off after carter 4 - cash money is winning mainly because of drake Wayne and Nikki - you act like every interview 50 was hating on your fav rapper- dude ain't been beefing since the Rick Ross shit -he threw concert on governor island - had all the so called rappers he supposedly had problems with come out - if they not complaining how u complaining - than you saying he's not even a good Buisness man - good damn Chrisr is that you lol

exiled dude is worth 300 mill. jay ,diddy etc all are good business men in my book.

When I said 50 ran into a hit ass Rick Ross and being blackball by Jimmy Iovine was all the truth, go back and read what I said, dude you can post 5 threads a day and he'll never be relevant again in this music business, his time has come and gone and he burnt too many bridges which was his downfall. You act like you in GUnit or something, you way too emotional

Editing Tony Yayo Album Sales numbers was beyond groupie like, RIAA Certified and not even listed on their website

 

[marcvoi]

the focus is not gunit cause 50 and. gunit already accomplish want it suppose to do. at this pount in time its a wn for 50 cause owning gunit as indepent or the music industry itself he dont NEED gunit. At thi piunt its more of a pet project or ego booster to stay in the biz. street buzz etc. dude took advantage already with the opportunity from the music biz.

not sure about llyod banks personal busines achievement or investments but he couldve ceeated his own label or di collabo albums with other artists thats not beefing with 50. with his worldwide experience touring he couldve
become a concert promoter or represent big name rappers outside the U.S. etc...he couldve put up a vlig video youtube series to be more engaging with his fans. dude had a serious female fan base. he had so many avenues to be in the spotlight.
yayo im not worried about im sure 50 and him will forever remain cool but shit happens.
at the end of the day like yayo said as a back up in stage to 50cent he made more money than a headliner rapper overall

 

[exiledking]

Lol Wayne wasn't on top for 10 years straight - you lost hella credibility with that statement/ he pop off with carter 2 I'll give him a hella buzz from dedication and no ceiling and fell off after carter 4 - cash money is winning mainly because of drake Wayne and Nikki - you act like every interview 50 was hating on your fav rapper- dude ain't been beefing since the Rick Ross shit -he threw concert on governor island - had all the so called rappers he supposedly had problems with come out - if they not complaining how u complaining - than you saying he's not even a good Buisness man - good damn Chrisr is that you lol

Wow, now you're gonna tell me Lil Wayne hasn't been on the top of he charts since at least 2004?

Doesn't matter of the label is held up by those two, he put them on. They're on HIS label. Why would you wanna even argue something this stupid?


As far as who 50 has hated on, another dumb leg to try to stand on. Here's the list off the top of my head


Ja Rule
Jay Z
Shit, everybody in that "how to rob" song
Diddy
The Lox
Dipset
The game
Young buck
(Lol those two are people on HIS label)
Drake
Kanye
Ross
Floyd Mayweather (yeah, ya don't even have to be a rapper for him to hate)
Even low key hates on Dr Dre!
Q from Worldstar

Ain't that list long enough? I dare you to find someone who's created more fake beefs than him to get attention.
As far as that concert he threw, that was when I told y'all he was flopping and decided to try to save face.

And again, he got put on by Em and Dre, had a great buzz when he came out and got a stroke of good fortune. I've always given him credit for that vitamin water thing, cuz that was something he actually used and decided to invest in. It did well because he markets it when he was popular. Props to him for that. Made a ton of money. Made some more money selling that book on how to be a scumbag that all of you worship. Of course the scumbag who wrote the original, whatshisname Green decided to cash in on all the hood dudes who were buying that trash by getting the trashiest of them all involved. I'll also give him credit for THISIS50, but the content on that has gone to shit as well since he doesn't focus on it. Vlad (hate to say it), and WSHH run that urban web shit.

After that it's all pretty much been downhill.

Label flopped, records started flopping, shitty clothing line flopped, beefs became transparent, got all catty w Floyd. Copied Dres idea for headphones, that's flopping. Now he's in boxing, that will be over soon, movies flop, cants even give away mixtapes w the bullshit promise that he's gonna feed Africa lol. Radio station is now just a platform for him to hate on whatever. I don't know if it still exists.

Face it, dude is ass. I guarantee you when he decides to come out again, he'll try and start beef with whoevers hot at the time. Even though it's a transparent tactic he doesn't know any other way to promote. It's all he's ever done from day one.

Breath my dude breath-label flopped but it generated multimillions-? Clothes/sneakers flopped but he made multi millions - check Marco echo interviews-,him and Floyd's had a personal/bizness problem I can't speak on friends falling out other than doing it in the public eyes is some funny style shit - "copied dre idea for headphone ? What nobody can come out with headphones - dre created the headphone or something ? How can SMS be considered a flop when it's a new company just signed melo and timerland as investors/ indorse--- got Olympic soccer team and car racing team to promote - most of the sells comes from overseas - his boxers are doing well - did u even see any of his fighters fight ? Movies - well shit , he got a multi million movie production deal - how many rappers have those - blist/ str8 to Netflix or not -- all I'm saying if that's what failure looks like or ventures floppjng to you - than shit.

Lol notice how you started that out - MADE millions.

I already said that's all in the past. It all hinged off of his initial success in music. Now that he doesn't have that, all the rest is falling by the waist side. I've called all this from day 1 and it's all come to pass. You're very loyal son. I'm sure 50 will break you off some of his wealth lol.

Oh yeah forgot to forget that money trap he called a house he bought just cause Tyson had it lmao. Guess that was good business too huh?

Yeah but at the same time, 50 used that beef to launch THISIS50.com... which brought CRAZY traffic to that site...

The most complete and objective statement.
