When 50 Cent explained why he doesn't rap anymore
Queens rapper 50 Cent talked about the reason behind him not rapping anymore in an interview on Earn Your Leisure, which was quoted by Billboard in its October 2 feature. Born Curtis Jackson, the 49-year-old became a trending name in the hip-hop industry with his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin' in 2003.
The album received critical acclaim and peaked atop the Billboard 200 list. It also received nonuple platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and created chart-busting singles like 21 Questions and In da Club.
After the success of his debut album, the rapper released a plethora of hits like The Massacre (2005), Curtis (2007), and Before I Self Destruct (2009). His last release was Animal Ambition which came out way back in 2014. Since then, the rapper has focused on projects outside the music world.
In the interview on Earn Your Leisure, the rapper opined that the current rap industry creates dumb music and he would have to engage his stupid side to create music appropriate for the time. He said:
"If you listen to the music that's out right now, I have to tap into my stupid. I have to tap into the stupid side of me to write the right thing when it comes time to write the music."
However, 50 Cent revealed that he was working on new music with Dr. Dre during an appearance on Big Boy TV in January 2023. He followed it up with another teaser in an Instagram post wishing Dr. Dre for his birthday on February 19.
