Hip Hop Vibe’s Hottest MCs in the Game: 50 Cent

50 Cent has been expected to release his fourth album, Before I Self Destruct, for the entire year of 2009. In January, 50 released “I Get It In” and the single failed to become a hit. It was clear by then that 50 was not about to score a hit with that version of the album.

Instead, 50 Cent returned to the mixtape scene. It was here that 50 scored some major hits. From his barrage of mixtapes released this summer, he scored hits with “OK, You’re Right,” “Flight 187,” and “Baby By Me.” 50 has decided to take some of these best songs and place them onto the album.

There are critics that say that 50 Cent has fallen off. He has proved otherwise with his This Is 50 Fest from earlier this month. 50 was able to get Maino, Cory Gunz, Dipset, and The L.O.X. to all come out and perform for his show.

50 Cent has proved that he has influence over the game by the way that he was able to get these rappers to come and perform for his show. Also, 50 has proved that he can still make great records with his Ne-Yo-assisted “Baby By Me (remix).”

After all of this time, 50 Cent is still definitely one of the hottest emcees in the game.
