Queens, NY rapper 50 Cent may have good reason to brag on his new single "Straight to the Bank."

I wish he would stick to business and not destroy music in his spare time

All I do is smoke weed, drop acid, and listen to MF DOOM http://www.facebook.com/SpacemanNYC http://theinnercitykids.tumblr.com/

as much as i hate him and his music, he is one hell of a business man, looks like he'll be the first hip-hop mogul to $1 bil.

He'll hit that 1 billion mark if this album does good. I like the single. Hopefully there is more to come.

Jay-Z walks around like he is all prideful because he has so much money but now 50 comes out of nowhere and he is the one who is actually making the most profit business wise.

The secret to 50 Cent's rapping is... Mumbling.

"Uvabuba nlggabuba sab daba buba, mo powa to ya duba gaba yam hama."


man... "duba gaba yam hama" had me crying. i just pictured a sledgehammer with a yam instead of a metal block.

I'm sorry but maybe multi millionaires who sit in the fromnt row of the team they own with one of the baddest bitches alive may not be as petty as some of you mother fuckers on here to hate on another man making money. There will always be some one richer than you but its longevity and what you do, invest and keep that money that counts. If anything I'm sure Jay is happy some one is up there with him.

As far as 50 being such a smart buisness man...I wouldnt say he isnt but lets not fron like 50 was in the room brokering the deal with Coca Cola. The dude just happened to grab up 10% of a company that got sold to coca cola. Im sure 50 woke up to that good news and didnt make the shit go down himself. Now, thats not hating nor is it a bad thing. Some times right place at right time is just as good as being the man to make the deal go through. And, as far as him getting 400 mill flat...obviously we are not buisness men and have no idea how that money gets distrubuted through out his deal. But either way its a big chunk of money and a good deal for 50.

As far as music, 50 was the golden boy on the first album with the stroyline to push him to sell millions of albums. On the second album he used that momentum plus his beef gimmicks to sell less but more than respectable numbers. Then his crew prospered and he made money off of that. But as we can see, 50 is just not as exciting anymore, his beef gimmick have gotten tired, his sing songy choruses and hooks are as entertaining. His beat selection has seemed to waine. Members of his crew are either flopping are showing signs of wanting to move on, and the singles off of his new album are just plaoin getting 0 buzz. So at the end of the day this is the best thing that could have happened to 50, so if his album doesnt do as well or if it even tanks he and his cult like fans can always say "so he dont need to rap he got 400 mill from coca cola."...Fine...thats great for him...but for the sake of my ears it would be good if he did stop rapping.

there is a difference being worth something and cash money.

jay-z got $250 mill of selling rocawear. granted 50 will now be close to Diddy and Jay but he wont be above them when that list comes out again.

and most likly he did get the 400 million in cash. cus coca cola bought it with $4.1 billion in cash.

but i give 50 credit cus for investing 10% in a basically unknown company whether he was advised or not.

hopefully he'll have a 400 million dollar skyscraper built so he can throw himself off the top of it

but the thing is for jay to have all of that money he still is a very petty dude you can see that from the way he has handled shit in his career.


Based on what exactly? From how people see how he handles himself with def jam artists? On how he's treated other rappers. People need to can the conspircay theories. Jay is a buisnessman if he was so petty to can certain rappers and not promote certain MCs because he's petty then people have it twisted. Jay is a figure head for def lam its be proven he does very little other than being a famous face for a famous brand others in that company handle the day to day shit and who gets promoted and who doesnt. Jay gets all the blame because he's the most famous face to lay the blame on. Its cuz you dont see the 45 year old cat in charge of promotion yet you see the famous rapper that gets all the blame. And, with the pay chack he gets Im sure thats fine with him. And, petty based on what? from what you hear? From what Youre told? From what youre on the outside looking in at? Cmon man...if anything if Jay sees someone getting a upper hand he doesnt shun them he teams up with them, that can be proven with the whole thing with 50 and the roc the mic tour.

Its fun to be called a "know-it-all" by someone who uses terms like "rookie" to degrade people for not knowing some Jodeci songs...awesome.
