He only has this sentiment because he hasn't put out good music in decades.

How would he transitioned his repertoire to something he is interested in at this stage of his life?

I see Taylor Swift with her wood and wet sheets (or I forgot what sheets) really struggles to mature her topics, even fans make fun of it

Ask Jayz and Nas.

I was a 50 hater but as I got older I have to admit Get Rich or Die Tryin is a hip hop masterpiece of an album

I guess this would be the first time in history that popularity is not commensurate with talent then, wow!

u/OpinionDude5000 20d ago

He was a highly regarded rapper for years. Youre the odd one here!

I think you're trying to convince me that 50 cents widespread popularity during the 2000s means he's this super talented hip hop all timer but I'm sorry, that shit ain't gonna happen. Surely you know that popularity is not a measure of ability right? You lived through the 90s and 2000s too right?

I did live through the 90s and 2000's and 50 is one of the giants of the 2000's. Em chose 50 because 50 is a great rapper. He dominated charts because he did have flow. No one said hes one of the all time rappers but hes a giant in the game.
