    gangsta rap just isn't as popular, it's as simple as that. he faded out of the spotlight when the genre did imo

    Not the game lol.

    Gangsta rap died and he failed to adjust. Plus he took a break from music to focus on other ventures.

    He went back to the gangsta style in 09 after the Curtis backlash. Unfortunately BISD leaked a month early and even though it went gold the sales weren't too great. After that 50 kinda took a break from music to focus on his business ventures. Hasn't really been able to step back in since.

    Ya'll are killing me with with some of these statements. Fif was nearly left for dead after Columbia dropped him, the Dre & Em co-sign helped a lot but I specifically remember when Wanksta dropped that s--- was getting played damm near everywhere you looked. He was gonna be a star one way or another, I think he simply got bored of rapping and lost his hunger right after Curtis.

    In all seriousness, he created a bubble of music that was poppin, gangster rap with great hooks, but the people shifted focus from that bubble to other s---. The Game really tried his best to k--- his career and did some damage, and his inability to take down a guy the public don't even like, Rick Ross, has made his L status stagnate.

    Shady apparel was pretty popular during a time too.

    Off topic but just remembered when i bought this game when it came out

    The memories of Disco Inferno, Piggy Bank and all those hits playing in the backround while i was playing the game.

    @ODB is born and raised in Queens, ask him if 50 had "a little" hype in NY.

    It basically signalled the end for gangsta rap.

    none of this 'killed' 50s career

    the genre simply wasn't popular anymore, it's as simple as that. only way he could've stayed in the limelight was either changing by trendsetting with a new style, or hopping on whatever trend knocked his off its pedestal in the first place. he chose neither option

    The game really didnt hurt G-Unit at all. All his diss tracks were basically the same. G-Unit died because if over saturation.

    The Ja comparison is way off.

    50 had no initial responses because he was still eating off Game at the time.
