That's a ten year long "flash in the pan."

When is that flash gonna burn out? LOL.

50's numbers may be down, but everybody's numbers are down. He's still in a better position than a lot of rappers who came before him and most rappers that came after him.

I'm not so much a fan of 50 as an artist as I am 50 the shit-talker/entrepreneur, but he's a good hook writer and delivers listenable verses consistently (I'm not expecting him to wow me with the word choice or one liners). He hasn't made any epic deals lately, but he's still active and sounds pretty invigorated on the new EP. I tip my hat to him for his perseverance.

Peace,
