50 cent "girls gone wild"

Interscope should just get rid of 50, but I suppose with the amount of money they make him they will not.

Is he even still on shady/aftermath or whats the deal?

Ye 50s the only one left from all the g unit lads past and present still on aftermath/shady.

They couldn't afford to drop 50. Next to eminem and maybe dre, 50 is interscopes biggest commercial asset as far as hip hop goes. But I think he is a free agent after this and he's said he is not singing with inter scope due to all the leaks and lack of promotion he gets the last while IMO its only a matter of time before he ends up with def jam it is heavily rumord he will after this album.

But IMO what we are witnessing is a rapper who was a victim of his own success , he's at a crossroads in his career ATM and is seriously feeling the pressure to stay relevant to the level he use to be.

We won't get the old 50 back for reasons above IMO and I'm a fan since the early 00s with before he signed to em, I always keep an ear out for him due to the fact I saw him come from underground to mainstream in a way really no other rapper did the whole shooting and going at other rappers with how to rob etc the beef with ja/supreme team it was entertaining but the music was also banging.

He IMO was one of the last of the real grimy 90,s gangsta rappers he was cut from the same mould but as far as these days a lot of his stuff is just gone to the dogs there's no denying it but because his older stuff was so good just like nas,jigga etc he's always going to be compared to it.

This is not what I expected...I expected a catchy club banger with a techno beat..but this is just awful. I can't see this catching on at all. Is it the first single from the album? If so, I think it's a false start. I can never see this song making it onto a major label 50 Cent album. A leftovers mixtape maybe.

The Twitter meltdown/publicity stunt is ridiculous too.

i dont think it will be the first song of the album now because of the leak, i think it had potential to be a lot better its just as said before very poorly structured, at least he didn't go techno which a lot of rappers are doing but we know what we are going to get for singles of the likes of 50,em etc they are going to be aimed in a commercial direction.

i can see where your coming from with the twitter publicity but i honestly think it was genuine, the track was in interscope's hands it was leaked he's bound to be pisse#.

he didn't actually say anything too outrageous on it, people read into a bit too much and took it for something completely different but i think a lot of rappers speak their mind on twitter 50 is no different.

if i was 50 id just to do a jay z and buy out his contract, its not as if he cant afford it. Jimmy really cant hold 50 if he decides to either in a way say that 50 is doing buck or diddy the lox etc but he only has 1 album left with interscope and for me this is the start of another battle with the label for 50.

I hope it is as i want to be entertained but there's a lot of rumors 50 will end up on def jam soon anyway.

The label situation has been brewing a while with 50 though, it goes back to 07 when 50 said fu*k jimmy iovine leading up to the curtis album then jimmy dropped banks and yayo as solo artists during the ross beef, bisd was then leaked around a month before its release, dre back working with game (you just know 50 wasnt happy about that lol) 50 going up against dre and jimmy in the headphone market, threatening to leak his detox song with dre aswell as starting his own indie label in a way that offers big label financial backing for the artist and the latest now is this.

the rumor is madonna yes madonna who is on interscope too had a single coming with the exact same name "girls gone wild" which 50 clarified on twitter she did and supposeably flipped and then bang a week later the song's leaked paving the way for madonna, i wouldn't hesitate to think jimmy might have known about this lol taking in mind the potential success of another madonna comeback will have on jimmys pockets:D.

I honestly can see why 50 is pisse* at the label man.

Why doesn't he just buy out his contract?

i honestly dont know, the only thing i can think of is his relationship with eminem and the fact he's still on shady/aftermath.

in reality he's the only artist on shady/aftermath capable of doing big numbers your yelawolfs, slaughterhouse's, kendrick lamars etc dont have the same commercial appeal as 50 and are not recognized worldwide on the same level as 50.

we dont know whats going on behind the scenes or whats in 50's contract etc no matter what it would be a huge commercial loss for jimmy and interscope to watch 50 going over to def jam etc and release the album there instead of interscope.

hate him or love him 50s still sold millions of records, as far as i can remember he is the 3rd best selling hip hop artist this decade behind eminem and nelly so the answer for jimmy wanting to keep him is there, he doesnt care what kind of music his artists make as long as it sells, damn industry nigg*a:D.

but 50 does need to step it up this song to me is poor to average, i think he fell apart on the 2nd verse. imo it doesn't sound like its mastered tbh afterall it was a leak.

This is the kind of reception the likes of 50, game, dr dre etc will get if they try and progress their sound, while the likes of kanye, lil wayne etc get away it, iv heard worse from the both of them on several occasions but like i said on another thread it is 1 rule for some rappers and another for others but thats just my personal opinion on it though not trying to offend anyone:).

I agree he makes them way too much money, but if he wanted to buy out his contract I would sell it to him at this stage because if this is even a possible single off his album he will absolutely flop at def jam with no Dre or Em input.

JMJ is spinning.

JMJ would be spinning listining to girls gone wild anyway , although his flow has taken a bit of bashing the last few years, 50 never lost the ability to make a good hook thats something he openly pays thanks to JMJ quite a lot.

50 had quite a bit of pedigree behind him before he signed to interscope, he was with JMJ aswell as nas's bravehearts while he was on columbia records before he got shot.

power of the dollar is one very slept on album, not far behind get rich.
