Article "50 Cent" Is Dead

ColdRhymeZ · 09-09-2009, 07:59 AM

Fans of rapper 50 Cent may soon want to pay their respects as the Hip Hop mogul says he no longer wants to be addressed by that moniker.

In a recent interview, Fif says that since he is no longer part of the circumstances which created the "50 Cent" persona, he would now start going by his birth-name Curtis Jackson.

"The aggression that translated the strongest in my first album is what hip-hop culture looks for. It's a persona,” Jackson explained when asked about his decision to revert to his own name.

"I'm not under the same circumstances I was under when I worked in music, so it feels completely different."

Early on in his musical career, Jackson adopted the nickname "50 Cent" as a metaphor for "change."

The name was derived from Kelvin Martin, a 1980s Brooklyn robber known as "50 Cent."

Jackson chose the name "because it says everything I want it to say. I'm the same kind of person 50 Cent was. I provide for myself by any means."

Hopefully this will be the birth of some real shit from Curtis instead of a lot of bullshit like everybody else.

Don't knopw what to think.

The name 50 is a brand.

i'm pretty sure he just means for his bussinesdeals and shit like that, like when he's on TV promoting the book he want's to be adressed as curtis jackson cause the product he's selling has nothing to do with what people expect from ''50 Cent''. he'll still rap under 50 CENT, but for example in movies.. it will say Curtis Jackson in the credits

its a smart move if u think about it. the 50 cent brand is still the biggest brand in hiphop and that aint gonna change anytime soon. now hes gonna build up curtis jackson. hes following diddy/sean john formula

*Sucks Teeth* Just because Michael Jackson is dead. He probably wants dummies to think that he's related to him so he can get credit. He's going to lose that buzz that he had with that name "50 Cent" so he mind as well diss Murder Inc again, even though I don't support him on that, and not freaking fond of him either!

Finally 50 switches his style up WOW! Can't wait for the album now.

BWS Pacific · 09-09-2009, 07:01 PM

been only 6 years? Ice Cube?Jay Z?Diddy?

Just exuses coz when people say 50 cent, they automaticly think of Cheesy G Unit Clothing, White Wanna be Gangsta Fans,Amusement Park and Cheesy Raps.

There been rappers in the Game for 20 years and they stil get credited on TV and Movies as Their Rap names.

Just Exuses guys.

Waits for Yayo to Use "Marvin Bernard" name :0

^^thas exactly what 50 said on the iinterview ...don't know why niggas is tripping ....

Curtis Jackson is for movies, books, etc because when they identify him as 50 it limits his roles ...

straight out the horses mouth

You stay on 50 Cent dick don't you? A day can't go by without the typical STAN hate from Raske in a 50 Cent related topic. And if you think about it 50 Cent has been in the game much longer then 6 years. 1998 is the earliest 50 Cent related music you could probably find and top it off with the 134 All Stars shit he did even though he was never really with 134 All Stars. And actually both Jay Z and Diddy like to be called Shawn Carter and Sean Combs on business related shit. Sean Jean isn't called Puffy John. Jay Z old shoes was called S. Carters or something not Jay-Z's. Cube is bigstill no doubt but he's no where near Jay,50 Cent or Diddy level in terms of money. That Game STAN delsusions you have make you seem dumber with every post you make. Ice Cube isn't a brand while Jay, Diddy and 50 Cent have brands and can be related to as brands. Just because you actually personally qualify for everything you said people think about when they mention 50 Cent now a days doesn't mean it's general perception. Hell who the fuck even cares what you think lol? You're a Australian who has weird obsessions with 50 Cent and Game that you talk about 50 Cent daily and created some off brand shit called BWS Pacific lol.

*50*CENT*WIFE* · 09-09-2009, 09:56 PM

He still 50 cent to me and will be viewed as 50 cent til others,but i get what he means when hes rapping etc hes 50 cent,doing movies etc hes curtis jackson but still gonna be 50 to us no matter what just like sean john is diddy is still puff daddy to us lol...

G-uNIT!!4 LYFE · 09-09-2009, 10:47 PM

lmao the name 50 cent is popular itself....i dont even think most ppl know his real name...ppl will still call him 50 cent tho...

Slums The Ghettos · 09-15-2009, 04:41 AM

What goes around comes around man, you know 50 started the beef with Ja in the first place. Don't defend him.

ByrdgangCapo · 09-15-2009, 06:06 AM
