50 Cent has lost all kinds of fucking street cred - The Drunken stepFORUM - A place to discuss your worthless opinions

50 Cent has released a video tape of rap rival Rick Ross with a girl doing the nasty, and 50 Cent even narrates the tape.

If you really want to see it go to nerve.com and search for 50 Cent Rap Rival.

What was the point 50?

Prepare to be even more shocked. 50 Cent has announced he will open a total of five Fall Out Boy shows during their Believers Never Die Part Deux tour starting April 14.

Neither of these bits of news makes much sense, but to 50 it's just business.

i thought buying that tape and releasing it was pretty damn pimp. possibly the greatest diss move ever.

50 could also have come out with a video talking about how nice it is to make $400,000,000 overnight, but this sounds pretty good too.

Did he make 400 million for selling Vitamin Water?!

I thought it was 300 million? I guess when the number is that large who cares.

Who listens to music because the artist has street cred? How can you prove their street cred anyway?

The total deal was a stock swap valued (at the time) at $4b. At that time, 50 was thought to possess 10% of Vitamin water. So yeah, the $400 million figure is an educated and yet wild-ass guess.

ahhh, ok. Yeah that sounds right.

BTW, i think fucking Ross' girl was brilliant.

The Fall Out Boy tour dates are odd though

50 cent is a fucking tard... This is a guy who got his break by tearing people up on mixtapes. He blew the hell up and then lost his mind. Who really gives a shit about street cred? 12 year olds? Rick Ross has been dropping hot tracks for the past few months and I cant wait to hear his album next month! 50 on the other had has been doing radio interviews and dropping bullshit music that is so damn weak like the rest of G-Unit... I used to think he was the hottest rapper around until he stopped paying Dr Dre to do his beats. All his shit now sounds the same...

According to Forbes, 50 Cent made $150 million total between 2007 and 2008...

Their Celebrity 100 list is shocking regarding how much money some folks make. Bruckheimer made $145 million or some shit. Tyler Perry made $125 million. It's absurd... but interesting nonetheless. You never know how much some people make until you realize how lucrative their "little things" are like sponsorship deals and licensing rights. 50 Cent probably only made somewhere around $10 million for his music alone, the rest was sponsorships, clothing lines, investments, etc.
