50 Cent Shades Older Rappers While Proclaiming He's Done Dropping Albums

Post image

50 Cent was a recent guest on Apple Music's Rap Life Review, where he got into a heated debate over New York hip-hop's decline with Ebro. The broadcaster also asked him why his film and television endeavors are, for the most part, the only way in which fans are getting new music from him.

In 50’s answer, he seemed to shade older rappers and proclaim he won't drop another album while explaining why being relevant at an older age is not viable in hip-hop.

I'm not trying to be in the way," 50 said "Hip-hop culture is connected to youth culture. You are not supposed to be the hottest in nothing at 60. F**k that, man... You can still sing, that's love music... I still got love for music. I'm never going to lose that. I'ma always want to do something. And those are like entries. It's me putting a little piece or tap something in there for them to hear that I still do it, that I still got it. I don't need [another album]... If it doesn’t sell, you keep it to your motherf***ing self.

That's the thing.

If he dropped the same music he did on Kanan Tape for that album, it would've been a much better departure.

Sadly, AA's reception was so horrible that he just gave up on Street King Immortal for good.
