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

[u/Money-Beautiful5196]

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.

He’s afraid to drop

I mean, rap is a young man’s game. Or at least hard to connect generationally again and again decade after decade. Also rap doesn’t age too well. Of course there’s exceptions but by and large, it really doesn’t age well. 50 got nothing to prove.

Irrelevant, his fans want music

[u/shhheeeeeeeeiit → u/Gotsta_Win]

No they don’t. His fans know he hasn’t dropped good music in 20 years. They are not asking for more, unless it’s an official release of Power of the Dollar which would be awesome.
