Questions & Answers

Q: What is "bully marketing" and why does the Club 520 crew call 50 Cent a bully?

They call 50 Cent a bully because he actually does the aggressive things most people only think about doing, like publicly telling someone they owe him money and he needs it by Monday. He came into the rap game the same way, bullying and telling rivals he would rob them. They admit the approach has worked and even call it inspirational because he acts on ideas others hold back on.

Q: Will 50 Cent be remembered more for his music or his TV and business work?

The crew thinks it will be equal. They call "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" legendary and say it still holds up when you play it, while also praising his television work. They predict he will be a "dual mogul," known for both his music and his TV shows and movies.

Q: Why do they say 50 Cent is a marketing genius rather than just a musician?

They argue that more than the music itself, it is how he markets things and messes with people that sets him apart. That style makes fans gravitate toward whatever he is doing even more. They repeatedly call him smart for the way he pulls people in.

Q: What 50 Cent projects does the episode mention?

They reference the album and the movie he made about his own life, plus a video game. On television they name BMF, Power, and a true-story show about a lawyer that aired on ABC, which they thought was fire. They feel people sleep on how much he has done.

Q: How did they rate 50 Cent's second album compared to his first?

They said his first run came out tough and was hard to follow. Still, they felt the second album was also hard and held up. One host joked that by "Candy Shop" 50 sounded like he was just playing around, but they still gave the music credit.

Q: How does the podcast compare 50 Cent to Diddy?

For reality TV they would pick Diddy, calling Making the Band one of the best TV shows ever made. But they note Diddy made his artists "walk for cheesecake" and put them in 360 deals. They argue that if those artists had gotten real outside push, many would probably still be popular and eating today.
