50-cent-speaks-on-his-loss-with-curtis

50 Cent speaks on his loss with “Curtis”

50 Cent recently sat with MTV to speak on his past album “Curtis,” that had the entertainment world talking on its September 11th and Battle of the Titans release.

“It was a blockbuster that I lit, and it didn’t explode. I felt like it should have went a lot further than the results I received … Publicly, I feel that 50 Cent fans don’t believe it was a dud. It did have ‘I Get Money,’ it did have ‘Ayo Technology,’ ‘I’ll Still Kill,’ ‘Follow My Lead’ with Robin Thicke. These records were hit records, but the timing they came out was wrong. If the first record you heard off Curtis was ‘I Get Money,’ it would have shifted more millions in sales.”

A lot of critics have been sending internet forums and blog website reminders on 50 Cent’s ‘promise’ to retire from rap if he lost to Kanye West in album sales. Once the results came with Kanye on top, it seems as if fifty reminded the music world about his pretty large prominence in the business side of entertainment.

Now that 50 Cent has ventured off into re-creating his G-Unit brand of music and doing blockbuster films among other things… has his “loss” played a role in actually taking him to a higher position in his career?

How can you say that if he had released ‘I Get Money’ he would have sold more, when ‘I Get Money’ was the only true hit on the album… in other words what you’re saying is he shuold have tried to false advertise… like, put the best out there to get ‘em hooked (100 ten packs), then push the rest of work, until somebody comes back saying it’s garbage, then you beat him down, just for show, cause you already know… THAT SH#T is WACKED… I’m I’m, I’m I’m a …

Damn Im not even a Fifty fan but I recognize the talent he has for making song. If you believe that I Get Money was the only hit on that album then maybe u need to listen to the album again.

50’s music didn’t sell cuz folks tired of hearing about killing this, killing that, drug this drug that, I got millions this I got millions that! Kanye came out with “I look good, I’m fresh, I’m fly music! Shit that make you can’t wait to get off work, go home get dressed in your freshest and hit the clubs! Shit that make ya momma and dem dance at ya family reunion! If I’m ready to kick someones ass, I’ll listen to 50! If I just want to party, holla at a shorty, and look good while I’m doing it, I’ll listen to Kanye! People tired of the violence! Secondly, 50 is more of a business man, with Rap skills! Kanye is a producer with Rap skills! When 50 came out with vitamin water it totally changed his street persona! It’s like Notorious BIG promoting V-8 tomato juice! I give 50 props though on his business skills! I’d have sold out too and got with Vitamin Water, then use the money for after school programs or build a school in Africa like Oprah did!

ITS ALOT OF 50 CENT DIKK RYDERS ON THIS BOARD. I’M JUST NOT SURE WHY HE CAN’T ACCEPT THE FACT THAT HIS 15 MINUTES OF FAME IS UP WHEN IT COMES TO RAPPIN. ALL HIS SHIT DOES SOUND THE SAME TO ME. GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN AND THE MASSACRE WAS HOT BUT HE NEED TO LEAVE IT AT THAT AND BOW OUT GRACEFULLY BEFORE HE MAKE A BIGGER ASS OF HIS SELF. SERIOUSLY!
