Wait, not again……
Can anyone say, “Deja Vu?” If my memory serves me correct, Curtis went through this exact scenario last year; “Straight To The Bank” literally went straight in the trash and it was total amusement with “Amusement Park”. It wasn’t until “I Get Money” did Fif catch the attention of his left over advocates. “
I can’t remember the exact date or location, but I do remember Fiddy mumbling a thought along the lines of “It’s not about the music anymore” or something to that degree. Ooooooweeee, Curtis, that sure wasn’t a smart sentiment seeing how you’re beginning to suffer creatively. But, I’m not here to throw mud at the G-Unit boss, more so, attempting to figure out why Fif’s creative juices are taking so long to churn out credible material. Didn’t he also assert “Before I Self Destruct” was creatively comparable to “Get Rich or Die Tryin?” We don’t believe you, Curtis, you need more people.
Listen, I’m just posing a simple question that’s starting to infiltrate the minds of my fellow taste makers, that’s all. I’m sure you know where I’m heading with this, so let me get to the point; Has 50 Cent officially lost his touch? Remember the days we couldn’t turn on our urban media outlets without hearing or seeing 50’s Southside mug? Are those days long gone? Where’s the mixtape material, the unofficial remixes, the self made videos, the hilarious interviews? Hell is going on over at the G-Unit HQ’s?
Once again, “Has 50 lost his touch?”
By all means, 50, get ya guap, but don’t gas the consumer with the mere thought of your new product resembling a product we’ve all grown to love and adore. Because now, not only are throwing stones at your current offering, “Get Up”, but our pellets and pebbles will be handy once you service anything else….just some food for thought, sir.
Sincerely
Low “And that video SUCKED” Key
P.S. In the meantime, I’ll be listening to Swizzy’s new single featuring Lil Wayne…..*oops, did I say that out loud*???

50 has always been wacked to me. The only time I could enjoy some of the unit is when Young Buck was in the group. 50 is so lame & all he does know is tries to sing, I guess he thinks he’s T-Pain.
I dont think he lost it he prob didnt pick the right single like on curtis he had a couple of joints that didnt come out but would have been good singles.
50 is just not a very good rapper. Nas and Jay have been in the game longer than him but they still get love because they are actually creative and clever with their music as they get older.
50’s cartoonish bully personality also doesn’t help. He’s done.
I don’t think he lost his touch totally, I agree with R.W. the dude is steadily approaching a billion dollars, you can’t possibly continue to speak about the element of the streets. And let’s be real with ourselves, you don’t want to hear about how much money the dud got either. Hip Hop is not like R&B where an artist can reach out to a plethora of writers and sing about love and relationships until their blue in the face.
50 always been wack.All he can do is start a beef to get folks attention,I thought he was calling it quits when Kanye beat him.50 is a lame.He is to arrogant,I hope Ja come back out with a record and push 50 out the way.
You r fine as hell.
50 cent never was and never will be lame or as you say out of touch. 50 maintained the same level since Get rich or die trying. All the thoughts of 50 cent being out of touch is prompted by the negative campaigning of different media sources such as B.E.T and radios that don’t play 50’s music and they are intentionally deliberating statements which creates delusional thoughts that 50 cent is out of touch thus creating an excuse of why they don’t play 50’s music. And most of the audience that listens and follows music and hip hop industry carefully knows that most of the music that different media plays isn’t good or the level it should be but by constantly playing the music of the artist and mentioning his or her name makes a kind of a brain washing effect on the listener to whom after unintentionally listening to that garbage music seams to be good.
curtis johnson is washed up.am a true rap fan and i say johnson isnt focussed anymore.men that new song get up needs to get lost.wat garbage.am jus so u all kno am i like fifty songs.its just he not hungry again and that shows in his music.my solution is simple getting a witch doctor and bringing back,pac,biggy,the old j-z,lox, and a few cats and re doing the entire rap thing.
Well I wouldn’t say lost his touch…More like went numb Lol He Suks
Well I believe he meant Curtis Jackson, mr. true rap fan, but anywho LOL I feel that many artists come to this point where their attention is focused somewhere else and they aren’t truly inspired to their music. It has happened to most of the greats in music period, so this may just be a phase for him. I think everyone has a point as to whether he has fallen off and why, but all those things added up equals to that 50 just doesn’t have anything to inspire him and his creativity. Once he finds some more inspiration, he’ll be better.
My name is Stephanie Jackson,i am from the heart of the hood Newark,nj and i love curtis jackson aka 50cent.He represents everything hood dont get mad at him because he got so much money! Instead of hating you need to be trying to get that money like him.And far as women go if you dont like fifty its because he wouldnt give you the time of the day! I love you 50!ggggggggggggggggg-unit!
I think mr.jackson is really maturing.Ang i think this is a great change for him more buisness like. I love this new image.Sometimes in life you can’t stay the same. Keep it up 50.smile…..
I don’t think 50 lost his touch whoever wrote this must not really know what’s
really happenin with 50 he has a great career, and of the most money makers
of rap artist in the game at this momment. His music always good. And apprently is making a lot of money. Being the business man he is today because of his rap career. So no he did not loose his touch.
why, as black people do we have to be so critical of each other, there is more important things to be concerned about, than if “fiddy”, loss his touch. Didn’t we just elect the first black President, wow how quickly we forget, people get a life, if all you know to do is criticize, then your all sad, instead of “dissin’ tha brotha”, try and show some love, lift the brother up. It’s funny
that we are the only race of people on the planet, that likes to tear its own people down. Much love Curtis
leave it alone and you talking about jarule u need to talk about yourself hi hater
he hasnt lost his touch its just some ppl cant live without the new actually awfull rappers like that guy on ufo not rick ross or tpain although i think tpain claims to be a rapper with no good lyrics or yung berg or shawty lo
laim rappers wow u ppl are fooled with awfull work 50 is good music
Well 50 Didnt lose his touch with the spitting but with the beats he lost it. He need to get some more producers because the one’s he got are trash. Get some features or something because G-unit is falling big time. So you could kinda say he lost his touch. Still my top 5 rapper tho.
fifty cent is garbage and has been for a while now ive been said this i guess people are just now cathcing on. he is just riding on his reputation now like so many other rappers are doing now days. its time to fall back fif
my opinion is 50 did not lose hise his touch he’s versatile and i give him much credit and respect because he’s not claiming he’s a rock star when he is a rapper hes staying true to the roots of rythym and poetry(rap) and by the end of the day that means alot so what i say is let the black man get his money im pretty sure if he was making that rediculous snap music and saying he is a rock star wearing pants so tight if he were a woman he would get a yeast infection that comment would have never been made
NO….JUST STOP ALL THE U SAY I SAY BULL….OTHER THAN THAT I USED TO JAM MY BUTT OFF..WITH HIS STUFF…STOP IT BEFORE IT GET STARTED…NOMORE BULL…STOP GETTING INTO FOOLISHNESS WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST….10-16 CHECKN OUT
