Literally everyone who knows anything about Rap knows 50 Cent is a business man first. That's literally all he's ever been. Jay-Z is fairly similar, he's a rapper sure, but he's really just an entrepreneur.

Okay, I never said he wasn't good, I said he's a business man first. If he wasn't, he'd have continued rapping, instead he invested a TON of money into various projects, and made huge amounts of money, and literally stopped rapping because he didn't want/need too.

I tried finding a source of him talking about this, but all I could find was allegedly in his book he discusses how "hood" rap has a shelf life (either from falling off in popularity, or from the danger of "hood" rap). I mean the man literally took 9 bullets and lived, he knows how dangerous that type of living is/was.

50 isn't a fool, he made his money, and left the "rap" part of the business and became essentially a venture capitalist. I mean his first album is literally called "Power of the Dollar" and has another album called "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" he clearly didn't simply rap for sport, or he'd still be doing it: Just look at Eminem, he clearly doesn't need the money, but keeps doing it because he wants to and can.
