An excuse for 50?!
Question: OK, I was just thinking about this the other day, and wanted to know what anyone else thinks. You know how Nas came out with Illmatic and It Was Written, which were both good, then went straight downhill with I Am and Nastradamus?
Is it possible that 50 Cent could be going through the same? HIs first two albums, Power of the Dollar and Get Rich or Die Tryin, were both great albums (not as good as illmatic and it was written, by any means, but still). Then 50 came out with The Massacre and Curtis, which were way too commercial and mainstream, and really lowered 50 Cent's image to alot of people.
Could 50 Cent come out with his own "Stillmatic" and save his career?
(believe me guys, i would never compare nas to 50, but i just noticed these similarities)

The only reason why I doubt that 50 will have his own "stillmatic" type album is hunger...I dont think 50 is as hungry for it like he was when he first came out...Nas besides Belly pretty much has stuck to rapping, while 50 is into everything... acting...endorsements...all kinds of stuff..He is "stanky rich"...Unless something comes over him...where he just gets hungry enough to wanna put his all into an album...I think he is fine with where he is right now...Nas never had the exposure that 50 has...
No because he's way too wrapped up in the money. I don't think he cares about his reputation anymore.
50 is a wwe type rapper he goes with the flow, i think he showed that, when he accused ja rule of singing on songs then he comes out doing the same thing
Nas went "downhill" wit Nastradamus..I Am was a 4.5 mic album
but here's the key reason as to why this theory wont work; Nas was 28 and in his prime when his alleged "career saver" album 'Stillmatic' dropped.....50 Cent is now 32 and too far past his prime to regain that get rich or die trying juice
perhaps..we'll see, but that seems unlikeley
nastradamus was trash but the massacre was not a bad album...far from it... yes very commercial and radio friendly but he always had tracks like that. he took it from the B.I.G. blueprint.
we gotta see what he pulls out with Before I Self Destruct....
nobody like fifty cent any more the only people who like him is sububian people so he will never come out with any thing like stillmatic
it's all about the money with him
