50 Cent vs WorldstarHipHop: 50 admits he didn’t shut WSHH down, but is suing them (Update: Worldstar responds)
Posted by Miss Info under Beef , Quotes , Ugh[65] Comments
Earlier today, fans of Worldstarhiphop freaked out, and detractors celebrated when the site’s normal load of “sponsored” rap videos, pregnant hooker fights, and dubious viewcounts did not show up as normal. Soon afterwards, 50 Cent claimed responsibility.
But soon afterwards, he came clean with a call-in to Angie Martinez….
Audio: 50 Cent talks to Angie Martinez, Hot97….about the current site problems of Worldstar Hip Hop, and admits that contrary to his twitter-boasts, he didn’t actually shut down WSHH. But he does explain the tension between him and Worldstar is caused by an ongoing lawsuit. Fif says WSHH used his likeness on their site banner without permission and he thinks they promote negativity….which he says he’s no longer a fan of.
UPDATE: Q the owner of Worldstar also called in to respond to 50 Cent, and told Angie that the site’s problem has nothing to do with 50 Cent, the ongoing lawsuit, or the recent ICE takedowns of blogs. It’s a problem with his server. (now according to others, the problem may be from not responding to a content removal notice. As in, a complaint from someone to Yahoo about a copyright infringement that then resulted in a freeze. *shrug*) Either way, it should have been apparent that this was not the same as the previous ICE seizures, because going to WSHH did not redirect you to a sign from the Federal government.
(thanks to DJ Juanyto/Hot97 for the speedy audio)
UPDATE 2: 50 Cent releases a video of himself yelling at the CEO of Worldstar after they get off the radio

Dear God a gangsta rapper accusing another medium of promoting negativity. I’ve heard it all now…

50 is the ultimate cornball…
he is again makign news for verythig except good music.
what a homo
January 24th, 2011 at 6:13 pm
I think 50 is mad that Worldstarhiphop has completely destroyed thisis50.com in rankings.
face it Fif.. your career is over buddy.
Officer Ricky Ross single handly destroyed you
January 24th, 2011 at 6:21 pm
Hold up. So, if it was technical difficulties….WHY THE HELL DOES IS SAY “SIEZED BY HOMELAND SECURITY”
HAHA that just doesn’t happen during technical difficulties. How did that combination of letters even get in your script?!
January 24th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
50 cents career isn’t over. He has enough money to reignite it anytime he truly wants to. Music at the point is just a hobby for the guy. He’s in the same bracket as diddy and jay-z these guys put music out when they want.
Some of you are so deluded, like you really think a guy like rick ross, who can barely afford his child support, was able to shut down 50 cent who is worth half a billion. I understand that it eats away at you that 50 is winning but lets not distort reality. Sure 50 cents music isn’t as hot as it was when he first came out. But lets be real, you and I both know he could funnel 20 million dollars into a music marketing campaign and not even break a sweat. Lol he just loves music and does it as an art form. He doesn’t truly need to sell records or sell out shows like rick ross needs to. Lol when the camera shuts off 50’s lifestyle is still there. Thanks to a ton of smart investments. It is what it is. Sorry to break it to some of you.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:34 pm
Q telling lies, he knows the site is shutdown, not technical fault. 5o is a funny guy. i hope worldstar does get shut down. it makes black people look bad.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
Funny how ppl think rick ross killed 50. How is that possible when they both went Gold on their last albums? Not to mention all the features Ross had on every track but the intro SMH. 50 had 3 features(one was uncredited vocals) On top of that 50 is at the same place he was before the beef(that ross started) if not richer. Yall dont get it huh? Ross had to start a dumb beef in order to go Gold, that’s horrible. Im jus statin facts and anyone on here can look it up.
Peace
January 24th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
where does it say “seized by homeland security”? Angie mentioned that as well, but when I go to the URL, I dont see any message like that.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
I dont think that is the case. Obviously, the two sites are slightly competitive, but WSHH is all vids, where as thisis50 seemed to have more of a blog set up. Also, WSHH preceded thisis50. It makes sense for 50 to be mad at them for using his face in their banner. Whether or not that was cosigned by 50’s DJ (WhooKid), which is what Q is arguing….that is at the heart of the argument in court.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
At first i was gonna say the 1st guy is a hater n ur a dickryder.
but after reading into it you got it exactly correct. How many rappers are EVER as good as they started 10 years later? and how many rappers HAVE EVER made $100 million/year as quickly as 50? People are all haters and dickriders nowadays. No body is ever an honest critic.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:42 pm
Yea, I was in the car listening to them. When I got home I looked and it doesn’t say that.
I figure they must have changed it as quickly as possible. It’s not hard.
It’s a lot easier to take something off then it is to put something up when it comes to script.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
This message is for “50centisnotacornball”, 50cent should employ you. Your evaluation skills are intact, half of these “imbasilic” (my own word) idiots can’t even construct a full paragraph. Your review put my feelings and thoughts of the situation down perfectly. We need more guys like you. And for everybody else, the guy is right. Regards, J
January 24th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
50 would love to stick his nose in here to get his other sites more exposure, thisis50 and booboo tv. Taking out worldstarrr would be some giant moves – and if it is down, gives opportunity for other sites to start up.
@jaeboogz
January 24th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
it never said homeland security. it was just a regular non-availability page.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
nah nah nah. Im a 50 fan but I try to stay honest.
50, I do believe started the rick ross shit for attention. I figure this shit could also slightly be for attention, because before the whole Game beef, 99/100 were 50 fans. After the beef it went like 60/40 against him lol. He doesnt produce much music, and some of it is quite mediocre in his later years. So of course he doesnt want to be another has been.
BUT Rick Ross never blew a hair on 50s neck! people come on. wtf?! Rick Ross had 1 diss that was barely heard by anyone. Rick ross was barely a one hit wonder. Idk anyone who bought his album.
He never has been and never will be even close to 50’s caliber.
January 24th, 2011 at 6:48 pm
I VE HEARD IT ALL MY SELF DID THIS GUY JUST SAY PROMOTE NEGATIVITY OH THAT’S RIGHT 50 MAKES HARDCORE BLACK MAGIC EUROPEAN MUSIC NOW THIS IS HOW YOU KNOW 50 CENT IS FINISHED AND BY THE WAY PEOPLEEEEE 50 LOST THAT BEEF TO RICK ROSS WERE NOT TALKING WHO HAS MORE MONEY PEOPLE 50 LOST TO KAYNE AND ROSS, 50 CENT a man with money who has nothing to do um um AND HE LOST TO CAM
January 24th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
50 cent for the win… He keeps people talking and is the most entertaining rapper in the world… Dude just has a differnt vibe then everyone else… He saw an opening and ran with it… Twitter was set on fire not even 5 minutes after he went on a rant… The only thing that could have made this better is if it was to music and we get to listen to the dude talk his shit at the end of the record (classic 50 shit by the way)… Money only made this guy a bigger headache to those who try to get in his way… And the person who called him a cornball then shouts out Rick Ross(killyaself.com)… Your lost and should give up on life… Hating a guy with a real backround and liking one with a false one… CB4 made good music to nigga lol
January 24th, 2011 at 6:56 pm
dmca notice..lmao..posting that 50 joint could do some damage but someone probably did some damage legally to dude, and we all know fifth aint gonna quit ot let up..cause he has nothing else to do but desroy whoever he feels is gettin at him. That dude Q seemed reluctant to say what was really up…just like Ross..no wonder he posts all his ish, birds of the same feather flock together..or however that crap goes…bmf was still dope..lol

January 24th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
the real question is what is Q’s nationality? he sounds foreign, im thinking he’s dominican or cuban
January 24th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
How Does A Website Make “Black People Look Bad”? They Have White People/Asians & People Of All Races Doing Crazy Shit On There But It Doesn’t Matter…BECAUSE THAT’S THEM…If What Another Person Does Makes U Look Bad Then U WERE FUCKED FROM THE JUMP With Yo’ Bitch Ass…Ahaha.A Nigga Smoking Crack & Running Into A Wall Full Speed Doesn’t Represent Me But It Can Make A Funny Ass Video…Folks Need To Take Entertainment For What It Is & Stop Acting Like WSHH Is Supposed To Be CNN Or Somethin’…It’s Crazy Videos Meant For ENTERTAINMENT..Not INFORMATIVE BLOGGING Or NEWS…U Don’t Like It…Don’t Go To The Site….
January 24th, 2011 at 7:22 pm

January 24th, 2011 at 7:51 pm
@info If more people on your site would actually think before they let their fingers talk for them this internet world would be a better place. what Fif did was just a smart business move. LET THIS BE A LESSON PEOPLE DON’T USE OTHER PEOPLES FACE, LIKENES,VOICE,LYRICS,BEATS,ECT WITHOUT THEIR CONCENT BECUASE WE LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE A PERSON WILL SUE YOUR ASS FOR DAM NEAR ANYTHING!

50 Cent Calls Up Angie Martinez – Screams on Q (WORLDSTARHIPHOP CEO)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTw_D5Mo69k
January 24th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
(STANDING O FOR THAT) gosh so many people are just looking to find a reason why we as people (not just black people) are the way we are. You want to blame anyone for whats up on the internet… Blame all the people that grab their cellphone or camcorder while fights happen. Or you can blame the fools that rat themselves out on in their videoes of the crimes they are committing and wonder how they got caught.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
This is some power moves by Fif if he did shut it down. WSHH dont make me look bad as a black person, thats like saying that dude that setup MLK made me look bad. Entertainment. Thats all this shit is. Music wise, Ross DID kill 50. Not money not networth, but Music wise. His buzz was bigger n he debuted at #1, Fif not so much. Yeah Ross had hella features, but Fif HAS Dre n Em.
January 24th, 2011 at 8:37 pm
Fif is corny… Screaming on a phone, serious? Dude didnt even say two words.
And WSHH is back up. It makes blacks look bad . lol man that just sounds stupid.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
I think that relationship is at the heart of this dispute. Q feels that WhooKid gave him permission to use 50’s face on his banner. But when 50 launched his own site, that became a problem. I have some of the paperwork but its 2 years old so Im not sure if it has been updated.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:34 pm
Mennnnnn! 50 is finished! This guy everytime he comes out with music, he has to pick a “beef” with someone 2 get attention and sales!!! I was a fan of the old 50!! But this one is just washed up and branching into diffrent types of business because the music isn’t thaT good!! 50 sir u are wackkkk!!!!!!! Smart business man but no more talent in the gas tank!!!!
January 24th, 2011 at 9:39 pm
homeland security?? has anyone maybe since Q is managing kat stacks (
who is currently being held on a immigration case) has anything to do with it being shut down? just a thought
January 24th, 2011 at 9:42 pm
i dont have any idea why people keep saying that the site had a homeland security notice on it. That never ever happened. Its so bizarre to me. Enough with the conspiracy theories.
January 24th, 2011 at 10:49 pm
a gangster saying he doesn’t like negative videos the end is near.
January 24th, 2011 at 11:20 pm
Why is it that people always use the argument that since 50 Cent is rich then he can’t lose in anything? If his music was actually better, then wouldn’t you just say that? I mean, they were having a rap competition, right? It wasn’t a “let’s see who’s richer” battle, was it? To bring up something that has completely nothing to do with the actual competition is just wack and desperate. If I bust Tiger Woods ass in golf, are you gonna just say “well, he’s worth such and such so it don’t count”?? No. And if you did then you’re just a dickrider. Point blank. Period.
This guy actually said that if he wanted to come back then he could just drop $20mill on MARKETING??? Not make better music. Marketing. Really?? To give him a pass like that as if he’s not really trying hard. That’s how you feel? Nevermind the fact that he’s boasting about every project being better than GRODT and that it’s his best work to date. You think he just playin with it? Hmmm.
The lengths that people to go to justify 50’s fuckery is mind-boggling.
I’m start calling him Raz 50. He puts out a video yelling at this dude Q on phone, talking greasy like he’s gonna really put hands on him.. really? Meanwhile you’re suing him in court. If it was really about some street shit you wouldn’t be putting out videos on the internet yelling and threatening him on the phone. You didn’t call the goons, Raz 50, you called your lawyers. You’re done with the street shit, homeboy. Give it up. Then again, why would you when you got dickriders on deck like ya boy “50centisnotacornball”. I just smfh and laugh.
By the way, worldstar is back up right now. You lose again, Raz 50.
January 24th, 2011 at 11:23 pm
Wrong. Check for yourself.
And to say worldstar makes black people look bad in defense of a gangster rapper is just ludicrous.
January 24th, 2011 at 11:57 pm
There’s a video on youtube where Ross is asked why he dissed 50 and his response was somethin along the lines of “he looked at me wrong” or somethin like that at an awards show so thats why I said Ross started it. Plus Ross was the first to throw jabs in a song.
January 25th, 2011 at 1:58 am
Lol, Ross last album debuted at #2 and he let Eminem beat him in Eminem’s week of release. Ross biggest selling album was, Trilla which sold 750k and Ross has never went platinum off of 1 album. 50’s is doing songs wit legends like Michael Jackson and El Debarge but Ross, not so much…
January 25th, 2011 at 2:05 am
50 Cent WW Sales=40 Million sold
50 Cent twitter followers=3.9 Million
50 Cent FB Fans=9.2 Million
Enough said…
January 25th, 2011 at 2:29 am
Hmm…. Well first of all 50 is a total ham.. He’s always doing stuff to make people laugh..
When people stop taking him so serious and laugh at him., their lives will be much more enriched!
Also I just gotta say – Mr. Jackson is maturing in his business as well as his music. He is an inspiration to any and all who look up to him. He makes us desire to better ourselves. This positive change is nice to see and yes I do still love his old stuff, but I love the new Curtis Jackson even more.. because I see him becoming a better man.
To even comment on his “gangster rapper” status is kinda mute at this point since he’s doing movies (Lionsgate) and music that DOES get played on the radio now..
The man can’t change what he came from..
He can only go forward and be a better man.. Haters get off his nuts! Seriously – half of your dumbasses with the hate comments wish you were him and the other half are too stupid to know you wish u were him!
January 25th, 2011 at 3:11 am
I agree with you regarding WSHH. Whether 50 REALLY had anything to do with this I’m not sure. 50 is an opportunist though, you can’t deny that.
January 25th, 2011 at 11:00 am
Soon most of you won’t have jobs, healthcare or a place to live thanks to our government and this is the stuff that you concern yourselves with smdh…..I guess we’ll just always be niggers huh? smdh…sad…..on to more meaningful reading
January 25th, 2011 at 12:42 pm
So why is 50 not good? because you don’t like him? Why is he desperate? Because you say so? Why he don’t make good music? Because you determined that? Lol, dude you just 1 person and 1 opinion. You entitled to that opinion just like 50 is entitled to do whatever the fuck he wants. He’s a grown man with a son so what makes you feel you can tell him what to do? He accomplished more in life than you have because he ain’t commenting on you but you took time out of your day to comment on someone who you’re not a fan of, what that makes you? A statement you made could only be made by someone who is broke or struggling. When you have bread, you can clown and do whatever with your life because you accomplished shit. Raz B can’t say that. Raz B don’t have hundreds of millions. Raz B don’t have diamond and platinum plaques on his wall. Raz B don’t have hundred million dollar deals lined up. As a matter of fact, he wouldn’t be spazzing on B2K if he had bread, he’ll be straight living it up like he did back in 2002. To alot of people, 50 makes good music and they like dude regardless. That’s why he has almost 4 million followers on twitter. That’s why he has 9.1 million fans on FB, which other rappers that are hot now can’t say. That’s why he has 590K members on thisis50.com. Just because you like someone doesn’t make you a dickrider but a fan. You seem upset that 50 has fans and you’re not 1. You seem upset that 50 is caked up and you ain’t at his status. Sounds more like hate coming from you then facts.
January 25th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
shup up and drive cornball
the site is open
January 25th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
LOL 50 is a fool.
January 26th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
This is funny. That you actually used the fact that 50 is rich to prove me wrong is sad. If you weren’t a moron then you would realize that you were proving my point, not contradicting it.
My point was more that 50’s fans use the fact that he’s rich to defend him, and you defend him by using the fact that he’s rich. Haha.. too easy.
You go on to mention his facebook/twitter followers? Really? What does that mean? If I was the only one that thought his music wasn’t that great anymore then all of his “followers” would be buying it. Fact: “follwers” do not equal “a following”. According to your figures, not even 10% of his followers actually bought his last CD.
I’m not a hater at all. I’m actually a fan of his.. but not so much of a fan that I support the fuckery and sub-par music. THAT is the difference between me and a dickrider. Sorry, but I can’t make that distinction so easily in your case.
And of course I must be broke because I’m commenting on hip hop blog?? What does that say about you? (btw, I would never in a million years say this out load because I’m not that much of douche bag.. but I comfortably make 6 figures, I own my own business and my home. So sorry, wrong again!! lol)
January 26th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
Now I see why you replied to my other comment. All of your comments are in defense of 50 because he’s rich. Did I hit too close to home? Awww, so sad, so sad.
Reality Check: Only someone that’s BROKE would idolize someone else so much just for being rich.
Grow up and develop an opinion based on facts that actually pertain to the argument.
(PS – reply if you want cause I’m already laughing at you and I could use another chuckle!! lmao)
January 28th, 2011 at 10:56 am
Mike S- My comment was simply a response to a claim. Someone stated “50 cents career is over” and my statements about his wealth were to make that person realize that his career never has to be over if he doesn’t want it to be. With 20 million dollar marketing he could dominate markets and ensure people buy his cd he just doesn’t feel that it economically makes sense (and it doesnt) You seem to lack a basic understanding of the business. It takes money and time to make anything out of this business. People with good marketing and timing often times have better results. It comes down to more factors than “just having good music” Furthermore your asseessment of his music is PURELY your opinion. It doesn’t mean 50’s sales have dropped because of his music there are a number of variables- the music industry MARKETS are very very very changeable. They never stay the same. Only in very rare cases do you have an artist consistently coming back and selling the same amount. LL Cool J is legendary but if he released a cd today would it get the same respect it did in the early 90’s? No. You know why? Because his fanbase has grown up. Because he doesn’t appeal to the younger generation? Either answer you come up with it doesn’t matter its one variable out of so many that is my point. Mike S, you are not an editor, you are not a statistician and I can tell from your answers you are definitely NOT a business man. I’m not saying that you’re broke or making any statements about your personal finance. I’m simply stating a fact. 50 cents career could continue indefinitely until he died of old age. He’s got enough money to completley dominate music markets. He could make an entire movie around the subject of his music, I don’t think you get that. The guy just loves the art. It’s not dick riding its an OBSERVATION. When you are worth half a billion dollars you can do things like this. It doesn’t have to be 50 cent. It could be diddy, it could be jay-z. These people don’t need high record sales, they use the music as a publicity generator for more profitable business because at the end of the day they are about the DOLLAR and they know that music in general has taken a hit in profitability. I know that TO YOU its about the music, and to FANS its about the music. But guys like 50, Jay, and Diddy are no longer in that hungry state they were in when they made THAT music. Some greats stay inspired forever. Take a great in music like Michael Jackson. A man with a child-like imagination, no childhood, had been singing since he was 5 years old. Music was the mans LIFE. Music is a love of 50 cents but it is obvious that it is not his life. The guy has always put the dollar first. Always. He’s always been about making money. Music was a foot in the door. I honestly believe he should just dabble in it every now and then, and then move on. If I were him I wouldn’t care too much about the music either. He’s not going to absorb the opportunity cost of forgoing a multi-million dollar deal so MIke S. from Miss Info’s blog can be happy that he put out some 2003 GRODT classic shit. Yeah it would be amazing but grow up. The dude has more important things to do. Sure he started out in music but he’s signing 200 million dollar movie deals, it only makes sense that his attention would divert away from music. 50 loves the dollar before his music. End of story. You should have guessed that by the title of his first album but no instead you sound “dissapointed” as if you didn’t know this was coming. You’re ridiculous. You wage blog wars against multi-millionaires saying “oh you lose again 50″ “oh 50 your music sucks” LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE—–DOES IT MATTER? NO At any point and time 50 could execute a HUGE music marketing campaign and come back but he doesn’t care THAT much and he shouldn’t and for you to expect a guy like THAT to do it for YOUR sake teeters on the line of delusional self-grandeur. In other words your opinion is cool but in reality you’re simply just NOT that important Mike S. And its not to say I am either. But stop talking like this guy (or anyone) owes this to you. He made good music in the past, you bought it you liked it great. But don’t sit there crying because the dude would stop his multi-million dollar business dealings to design an album that YOU approve of. You’ve gotta ask yourself WHO ARE YOU to even expect that. The thing with Q from worldstar was a CHEAP MARKETING STRATEGY. And it worked people are talking about 50 again. It is what it is. I’d also like to know (out of curiosity) WHAT business you’re in that you make 6 figures. You keep talking about this guys “Last CD” Subpar music fuckery. And I’m simply telling you you’re not at 50 cents level so you don’t get what he’s doing. His last CD sales are not even relevant to his earnings as of late. His fuckery is really marketing that gets people to talk about him it may not result in music sales but people watch his movies and they will buy his headphones, books and more. And subpar music? Thats just your opinion which really doesn’t matter at the end of the day. Put yourself in 50’s (or any self-made multi-millionaire mogul) shoes why should he care about what Mike S. from miss infos blog says?
February 3rd, 2011 at 5:25 pm
1st, after rereading your original post I agree with your main point that 50’s career is not over. In all honesty, I was more responding to the numerous postings about his worth in defense of the losses he’s taken. My apologies if I mistook your post for that.
In addition, I’ll agree that if he dumped a bunch of money into marketing his sales would go up. I only wished that it wouldn’t have to come to that, and that he could just make better music. Call me crazy. Call me naive. Can you blame me for that though? Call it my opinion, but let me ask you this: Do you even disagree or are you just playing devil’s advocate? I mean, are you bumping BISD??
Even if you do disagree with me, saying “that’s just your opinion” isn’t really an argument. Even if you said it’s because he doesn’t give a shit anymore, that would be more of an argument. But that still wouldn’t mean I shouldn’t point it out. Should I stop myself from commenting on anyone’s product because they’re rich? No. If I said Microsoft Vista sucks, would you reply “well, Bill Gates is rich as fuck and you’re not so you’re opinion doesn’t matter”? I would hope not.
I consider myself an unbiased realest. I pay close attention the music business and the movements of artists (whether it be from a business standpoint or artistic) and that’s how I form my opinion. To try to invalidate my opinion and belittle me because I’m “not not on his level” is ridiculous. For one, unless you’re worth half a billion then I could say the same thing about you. Two, the people he employs as consultants most likely aren’t either and that doesn’t invalidate their opinion does it? (I could go on and on). At the end of the day I don’t give a shit if 50 reads this, but it would be in his best interest to.
“why should he care about what Mike S. from miss infos blog says?”
This comment shows me that you don’t know much about business. Yes, I’m just one person. But I’m not the only person that feels the way I do. If I put myself in 50’s shoes “(or any self-made multi-millionaire mogul)” I would most certainly care about what people had to say about me and my products. That’s why they have focus groups and consumer studies. Fact: you’re fucking nuts if you think Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t give a shit about Facebook user’s complaints.
I won’t even waste my time giving your comments about my business sense a reply. That’s obviously baseless bullshit.
And for the record, I own rental properties. I don’t see how this matters, but whatever.. I’ll play along. May I ask how you make a living?

I’m playing devils advocate. When I said you’re not at his level it doesn’t mean that you’re not making as much it means you’re not exposed to the opportunities he has to forgo in order to step back in that zone necessary to make 2003 GRODT music. GRODT was the result of an extremely hungry, intense, young, energetic 50 cent, eminem, and a very wise but still enthusiastic Dr Dre.
Music is a little different than a product like vista, or a site like facebook. Music is an art and so many people have a different outlook on it hence my comment “thats just your opinion”. Most people have a decent radar for what is completley garbage or what is genius. 50?-His music isn’t garbage he just can’t top his first album and to be fair that happens with a lot of artists, they reach a peak of creativity and timing and then they slide off. Zuckerberg and Gates have products that get feedback but their products are of a different nature. For someone like me as long as facebook and windows operating system WORKS I’m fine. But for a music producer who needed XP and can’t stand a specific file transfer issue Vista was the devil. That is software . Music is different. You want GRODT from a man in his mid-30’s? he was like a 27 year old young adult when that came out. I like 50’s new stuff but that music he put out in 2003 captures a 50 cent at his peak. You’re not going to hear that again. It’s like expecting to hear thriller each and everytime Michael Jackson puts out an album. Its not going to happen. The consultants that 50 cent employs must have a goal to make this man as rich as possible, the better he does the better they do. If I was a 50 cent general consultant and I want to keep my job I would tell him to go easy on the music and that its simply the least of his concerns because I would know 50 cent is about money and as long as he’s millions richer by next year I’m doing him a favor (and myself) The amount of timing, effort, and energy he put into GRODT may not even be worth it at this point. Theres another difference between music and tech. Zuckerberg and Gates have several employees who write code, develop new tech, test it etc. 50 cents music can only come from one person and thats 50 cent. Unless he employs a team of rappers, ghost-writers and producers to do his entire album he may not get the same level of quality again and even if he did he would receive no credit for it. Zuck and Gates receive credit for everything that happens under their trademarks regardless of which person in their structure first thought of the idea, who executed it and who marketed it. There are many more differences but if I list them I’ll be here all day. Your comment at first seemed like you had no business sense, while you may in reality do residential/commercial real estate; you at first, sounded like the typical blogger who talks about their income, and tears down the subject matter for the sake of their own entertainment. Me? I bought 20% of a very successful franchise that people eat at today, before it was successful. Today when I’m not surfing the internet I’m watching cnbc. Boredom. Go figure.
