Yo 'Major Distribution' was a hot street record, I'm surprised it didn't take off...sounded like that 05-06 G-Unit Radio sound, Snoop & Jeezy came correct, I can almost hear Whoo Kid's adlibs on it
Whoooooooo...kiddddddd
Whoooooooo...kiddddddd

Its cause his label wasn't pushing it.
He was on radio a while back..and the discussion came up of how he has these hot records come out..I.e. Major distribution and my life...and they'll be received well..but Ina week they're gone cause the label isn't backing it.
Part of the reason he left interscope

first off my life wasn't a hot record by any means...had the biggest rapper on the planet on it and one of the biggest rock stars and still couldn't blow.
major distribution was fire tho
Label backing doesn't cut it anymore anyways, most of these hip hop artists don't have the labels backing, they're busy with pop/commercial stuff. macklemore didn't need a label and he was everywhere to the point where we couldn't stand his music anymore lol
50 just fell off and it happens to alot of artists, ppl nowadays have different tastes in everything, clothes, music everything so when he puts out a decent record, the die hards and 50 fans will check for it but the majority is listening to their new artists.
reason he left interscope cuz it turned into anything but a music label, but him being 50 cent he has enough power and a fanbase to do his own promo and all. especially nowadays promo is done completely different than 10 years ago when he came out. social media, etc
come to think of it i don't even know what promo a label does anymore. the artist does his press tours, promotes on social media, etc

"My Life" was probably the most egregious "please play this on the radio" song I had heard in a long time Eminem & Adam Levine features, and a light inoffensive box-office movie style beat. 50 million views, and it translated into nothing.

Song would've been better off without Em, 50 needed to ride that one alone, with Levine on the chorus still of course

50 fell into the trap of the transition when record sales and major label pushing mattered, to the new transition of independent online promo.
he stuck to the old formula and he was really losing at that time. now, especially with the Unit back together, they're doing it right. feeding the fans directly. took a while, but he got it.
the music was always there (besides the My Life record) yikes.

Eh I liked "My Life" 50's first verse was 
Even his second verse was good.
Eminem on the other hand

Yea he was spitting some real stuff on there, no weird flows, voices, just raw spitting...
I haven't been this ******* confused since I was a kid
Sold like 40 million records, people forgot what I did
Maybe this is for me, maybe
Maybe I'm supposed to go crazy
Maybe I'll do it 3 AM in the morning like Shady

i thought My Life was a desperate attempt for radio, i'm sure he can make a solo record that could be mainstream but dope at the same time. that record wasn't it. i feel like he needs to grow, leave all that gangsta ish for some of the album cuts but he needs to make music that reflects where he is at right now.

at this point he needs another "in da club" type record otherwise he's never getting mainstream music appeal again. yes he's a relevant name in general, but he needs a smash like that

I was riding around NY late saturday and the radio was playing mad old street hits from the 00's ...... **** made me completely wipe my phone of A lot of this ******** i was listening too and start over
the only people with a "Unreleased" catalog like the unit is Dipset & Wayne..... I went through my library and found so much fire it's crazy

that's what he was trying to do with that Smoke record, and look how AA turned out. but he is indie so sales don't matter. i think his club tracks don't have that luster anymore to be honest with you. it's like the same exact thing over. i rather take a record like Hustler's Ambition for a single any day.

ya'll remember how the 'Outta Control' Remix came out literally at the perfect time? it was that summer, 05 or 06 I think...
and how 'The Massacre' re-released with a music video for every song, eventhough most were low quality stuff haha

but see that's the problem for 50, ppl like yourself and myself will appreciate those type of records, but it won't get mainstream play. the radio stations were going crazy when smoke and the other joints came out but didn't last too long since those aren't the records their audience wants. or he should just try his old trick and diss a bunch of these new cats on a piggy bank type record lol that'll get some attn

Man that Outta Control Remix was perfect. The beat, the verses, and definitely the video. And I did by that DVD set, 50 was foul for having half the vids either in the studio or the most blatant green screen setups
i want real records from 50 at this point, even if he has to sing on a track like that G-Unit Changes track. i think i rather hear mainstream 50 instead of his usual gun talk all the time. something different could really help him.

"I'm Supposed To Die Tonight" and "Get In My Car" are literally the same video lol
I can't remember if Eminem was in the 'Gatman' video?
The original 'Outta Control' video was pretty cool, though it was just random club scenes and studio scenes...
I certainly did not like that cartoon video era 50 went through...
And we couldn't even get a Hate It or Love It remix video due to the beef smh
