10-12-2010, 01:31 PM

He's literally a monster in the business world right now and he doing it in a way that Jay & Diddy could never do (no disrespect to them) cause they got to talk to the right people in the right way to keep climbing that chain while 50 just sit and watch everybody else's move while he setting up his own then he acts.

20 million dollar budget wouldnt even get this nicca dude from macgruber..

20 million is the budget (production costs, actor fees, marketing, etc)

50 making boss moves though

Exactly.

It doesn't sound as good as people are makin' it....

...they're goin' have to sell a bunch of DVDs to get their money back.

Still a good move by 50.

“They’ll spend a $120 million on a film or a whole bunch of money making a film and then a whole bunch of money promoting it a year before it actually comes out and the money they get back in theaters is just the money they spent… And then it goes straight-to-dvd and everything is profit there. Some of the movies I’ve done recently, I was financing and I’ve already seen a 60 percent return on what I’ve [been] involved with. They don’t understand, they’re looking at it and going, ‘Well, it went straight-to-dvd,’ and they don’t realize I’m gonna get another $800,000 off each one of these projects. You can sit there and say ‘It went straight-to-dvd’… my[..]… They’ll try to figure a way to discredit whatever you do because I come from that. I have a lot, so I’m conditioned to the people who haven’t been through that and can’t get to the next level… If they look at their favorite artists, they don’t have an opportunity to be in a film…” Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson said in a recent interview with a Tampa Bay radio station; there’s more where that cam from in the video embedded below which contains that full interview.

it's chess,not checkers....

i'll probably never watch his crappy movies, but congratulations to him.

10-12-2010, 02:24 PM

'Set Up' revolves around a group of friends involved in a diamond heist that takes a deadly turn."-----n THIS MOVIE HAS PAUL WALKER...umm sounds EXACTLY like "Takers" jus with Diamonds instead of Cash/Armored Trucks..smfh @ originality..

10-12-2010, 02:50 PM

Damn, sick deal. 10 picture deal?? Never even heard of anything like that.

Honestly tho, I hope he uses other peoples scripts because if they are anything like Before I Self Destruct, all them !!s are gonna be some trash. That movie sucked.

No Wonder 5-0's unpopular with americans, good businessman, but !!ty rapper and poor movie actor.

10-12-2010, 03:24 PM

Even with all of that money and business, 5-0 will never be popular again, he is on the same boat as MC Hammer & Master P was, at least master p admitted he was terrible.

He has over 3milllion twitter followers,thats one of the highest followings in the world and his blog is really popular aswell. BISD was a flop but he can def turn it around

10-12-2010, 03:30 PM

lol there is nothing to turn around. He just signed a $200M movie deal. Name me one other rapper besides maybe Eminem that could do that right now.

and too bad, most of them will go straight to DVD.

10-12-2010, 03:32 PM

When you sign a deal like that you gotta use those funds to create movies. After he creates each movie they have to perform well for him to actually make money back.

10-12-2010, 03:32 PM

LMAO @ 50 being on MC Hammer, or Master P's level ..

Hopefully all of them will and then he'll make enough money to have you hating for the rest of your life.

Not this time, people have turned against this clown, because he is very unpopular in th U.S. and his next albums will continue to flop, because people are sick and tired of this facade.

and this man is facade and a fad and worse young money and other stuff have taken over by storm, so 5-0's time is pretty much up in the U.S.
and sure he's still popular, but not that popular.
