you bring up a good point. what we would have to really know is :
How much has INTERSCOPE made off of 50 Cent since "Get Rich or Die Tryin".
If the answer is they made 500Million dollars (which im sure they made that) then $100 million is easy. They will spend 100 to make 400million. shit i would. You gotta remember, they prob own rights to every DVD, concert, CD that he puts out.
add all that up, love him or hate him , he sells cds, and he makes MONEY.
50 Cent will live because of threads like this. he get attention and people will buy his music.
Look at Eminem. His first 2 cds were pure genius. the rest were garbage, but they still sold and went platinum, because hes Eminem. Hes like howard stern, you want to see what he is going to say next.
50 Cent appeals to yes, alot of white suburban kids, but i still here black people bumping 50. the select few of us that are "music conisuers" may not like what hes doing or the music hes putting out now, but we are the MINORITY.
Get Rich or Die Tryin the album and is still one of my favorite CDs. you cant argue the anger and lyrics he came out with, he rejuvenated rap at the time when it was getting old an stale. Now , everyone has heard his disses, hes not hungry anymore so we will never see another album like that again. Same with Eminem.
but what do i know, im a white kid
