You think 50cent can make a decent return like Jayz 3 years ago?

Meela Dymme

Jay stayed losing with Kingdom Come, American Gangster. But he finally appealed to the mainstream crowd once again with Blueprint 3....... Looks like 50 is trying to collab with a lot of hot artist right now for his album. I think if he switch up his rapping style a bit he could start appealing to most of these soft internet thugs on here. what you think?

TimeToParty

he needs to stop trying to be street and go back to that candy shop shit if he want that mainstream

How Jay lose with KC and AG tho

Gen. Stasia

American Gangster is one of Jay-Z BEST albums that went Plat without any smash "Hits" How is that a Lose exactly?

KC had first week sales of 680,000, while BP3 had first week sales of 476,000. So Jay's comeback was six years ago, not three.

Plus AG is a damn near flawless album, so he didn't "stay losing".

American gangster was a dope album though. Blueprint 3 was a solid album, kingdom come was disappointing.

Kingdom Come>>>>> Blueprint 3

Outside of Empire State of Mind Blueprint 3 is very forgettable. Kingdom Come gets hate because Jay-Z Grew Up when he came back and nobody was expecting that.

People actually wanted Jay to come back. There is little to nobody rooting for 50

Who knows....

Back to the subject at hand... Jay left at the top of his game... 50 made ppl dislike him at the top of his Game... Their comebacks can never be equal. 50 has alot of shutting up to do and a lot of undeniably Hot music to put out... He can have a steady career if he did such but thats gonna be hard being that he doesnt know how to shut up and he's past his prime but there's always hope.

I understood that jay took the grown approach. But it was poorly executed IMO.

Bp3 had some dope records.

Real as it gets with jeezy
Run this town with kanye
Star is born with j Cole
Ambitious with the neptunes

That album gets a little more hate than it deserved.

Wow Gen actually droppin some respectable knowledge. Obvious but true.

Jamaica

He can comeback if he stopped watering down his albums with get rich of die trying remakes. For him to make a successful comeback he needs to evolve as an artist.

None of those songs are better than

Prelude
Trouble
Do U Wanna Ride
Lost Ones
Minority Report

Jamaica

You really named do you wanna ride and trouble? Them songs were weak. Lost ones and the prelude were dope and while the message was good I hated minority report.

Last Verse from Trouble>>>>>>>>> Anything LYRICALLY u named and did u actually listen to Do U Wanna Ride?



You know why they call The Projects a project, because it's a project!
An experiment, where in it, only it's objects
And the object for us to explore our prospects
And sidestep cops on the way to the top - yes!
As kids we would daydream, sittin on our steps
Pointin at cars like yeah that's our sex
Hustlers, prophets, made our eyes stretch
Swanson got the spot, shit we started our trek
Some of us made it, most of us digressed
In the name of those who ain't made it my progress
Show success please live through me
See I'm the eyes for Emory, keep him alive
(This is a collect call) So everytime I press five
All he wanna hear is his boy talk fly
Up in the fed, and still holdin his head
So when he hits the streets he gon' eat through this bread
Now let's ride

First 4 Bars alone is Fire...

Gen. Stasia

Hov made niggas wanna step they double enterdre's up

Monster of the double entendre, Coke is still my sponsor
Heh, the Cola, yeah
Hova still gettin it in with soda
Diet, no sir, I ain't lose no weight
Started from the crates now I'm sittin on a whole case
Since they got you sittin on that old case

dont care


50 never fell off


the fickle fans did cause dre and em dont stand stand side by side with him anymore


50 at this point is basically an underground artist with a few hundred million $$$$ in the the bank

no other rapper has dissed their label head like fif...he's so rich he doesnt give a fuck about who his "boss" is


just keep makin that street shit fif and the people that were there since '99 will support

Straight up. I will be coppin no matter what. No one makes grimy shit like Fif no more. He is the last of the gritty and more people should appreciate that.

Kingdom Come wasn't a bad album yo

50 that nigga

I don't know to me back than Jay was doing his thing, but it felt like everything was overshadowed by 50 Cents camp in 03. I remember the VMAs, Chappelle the host gave Jay Z a watch for his retirement in rap. It was a crazy year in music. I think the difference is that people are counting out 50 Cent while some people wanted Jay back(he still got a lot of hate from his return)

usmarin3

50 Cent was never a great mc to begin with, and that he got shot 9 times gimmick got old real quick to mainstream America. Dude is done, there is no coming back once the perception that you fell off takes place. Most rappers don't have that longevity of a Jay-z/Em/LL, they typically burn out like a Nelly, DMX,etc 4-5 albums later.

Meela Dymme

Naw 50 could make a comeback. He is going to have to switch up his style. Jay=z still looks hip and he's like 41. 50 sometimes look all fat when he dresses "street" You have to have that hip appeal if you're old(30 n up). Look at wayne and jeezy.... 50 is going to need 3 things, cool beats(prefer from Dre.), change the way he sound on the mic, and just start dressing like a thuggy rapper since that's what he raps about
