IS 50 CENT PLAYED OUT IN THE HOOD???

August 29, 2008. If this report is true, rapper 50 Cent has a lot more to be worried about than some mixtape beef. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that Hollywood insiders feel that rapper 50 Cent is losing his appeal in the urban market.

According to the website Woooha.com, 50 Cent's new movie Righteous Kill -which also stars actors Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino - is trying their best to distance themselves from the platinum selling artist. Why?? Not because of his criminal past .... But because the filmmakers reportedly no longer believe that 50 is appealing to the urban market.

Here's the website's report:

The real reason the studio cut Curtis out of the campaign is because their research and exit poll information showed that 50 actually was not the urban or young demographic box office draw they were hoping for.

50 basically can’t draw in the core demographic that used to buy his albums by the millions. The box office let down of Get Rich or Die Tryin’ should have been a hint of things to come.

It’s no secret in the music world that 50 Cent has lost some mainstream appeal, but in the film world you don’t necessarily need multi-platinum albums to have a successful film career (Common, Mos Def, etc.) you just need to appeal to the urban demo. 50 clearly is losing that appeal.

This is AWFUL news for 50 if its true. Think about it ... his entire BRAND might be at stake ...

Very good article and it only supports statements ppl have been makin for a while now. I don't think it wuz really built for longevity anyway. That's y fif got as much as he could financially cuz he soon he wouldn't b able 2 sustain the urban demo from which his brand wuz built on. He has all kinds of investments goin so im sure he will be fine but it will definetly hurt the brand...and it will be a mission 2 sell da music with the urban demo rapidly steppin away from him.

He's played out in every hood except NY & overseas & this is coming from a big 50 Cent fan. That's what I hate about hip hop, all you have to do is be too successful in hip hop to be played out. It's sad because it's not about talent & skills anymore.

seems like 50 is not happy with the way Interscope is treating his album so he's not willing to release it. Interscope even tried to release GGW a few times last year but 50 didn't want them to. Besides Eminem Interscope has no big hip hop…
