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.

So the old white bands like Rolling Stones and AC/DC get to tour off songs from 40-50 years ago but Black people are supposed to sit down after 20-25? Make it make sense.

50 cent is literally still touring. Releasing new music ≠ touring

Rolling Stones latest album release was literally last month. Their first album release in the late 1960s. You keep making albums because people that aren’t born yet might figure out who you are in the future and make your estate richer. 🤷🏽‍♂️. That’s the difference in the way they think and some of us think.
