Mixtape after mixtape of bangers. He hasn't left that whole G-Unit sound, which is the problem. It's interesting case study: dudes made more money then he ever will need, but it IRKS him how he's fallen off. So he's hungry as shit but with such a dated sound he can't connect to new audiences.

i don't get the need to tear down Fif. He's put out some good shit for free for a few years now.
2863902, Perhaps it's just his karma...

>i don't get the need to tear down Fif.

He's been about tearing people down since he came in the game. They say
"what goes around, comes around"


2863956, I like this joint, and lots of others from him, but...

...the way I see it, what you said is definitely the case. What makes 50 an easy target for ridicule isn't that he's really a failure...but he IS failing according to the standards he set when he was on top. 2003-2007 50 consistently dismissed and insulted artists like current 50, because to him (or at least to his persona), if you wasn't at the top of the charts and getting the most money, you were irrelevant and needed to stop making music.

I didn't think it was cute how disrespectful he was when he was on top. He didn't handle the juice well at all. I can't even bring myself to root for him right now.
2863973, Sounds kinda desperate and pathetic to me

Like he's grasping for anything to remind people that "hey I'm really from the street and I'm stinking rich!". I'm richer than Rozay and I was never a CO so how can you love him and be over me??

It's also interesting for me to look at the difference between he and Em. Em is still making shit that a lot of folks are checking for I think in large part because his persona and mystique was always the outsider, loser on the come up "backpack" dude who talked shit about folks but in a more comical Mad TV kind of way not in the I'm rich and your not way. Em is filthy stinking rich but that's not the first thing you think of when you hear new music from him.
