One key point many people miss and 50 points it out valiantly, is that the music industry is a business. The bottom line is the volume of records sold. His record label's markeing team are wizards in the way they may have fabricated his beef with "the Game". Look at his 4-6 days sales...that in itself speaks volumes...
You're missing the point. Jada explained, yeah I may not sell 4.1 million in one week but at least I have respect. 50 built his fame on his rep and respect he got, now he's losing respect from people even in his own camp. Rumor has it that Fat Joe and Nas will also retaliate.
You can only milk the industry by having a superstar producer and superstar rapper on your label for so long, before people realize you're lyrically mediocre.
And yet hes selling records by millions. Last time I check, respect doesn't get you Lamboguini.
50 is not a rapper, he is a businessman, he is here to sell records and products....who gives 2 crap about respect? 10 years down the road, whos going to remember Jadakiss's respect for the industry....but I bet 50 will still have millions in his bank account 10 years down the road
