Fans immediately fell in love with 50 Cent because his music was sticking it to the people in control. Ja Rule had taken over the rap world by late 2002 and the fans were tired of him. 50 Cent used this to his advantage and dissed him on his early 2003 debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
In the time since his debut album, 50 Cent has turned fans off, himself. His last album, Before I Self Destruct, did not even sell 500,000 copies. Hip hop heads are tired of 50 Cent coming with the same style on each album. But, when he tries to change up, he is accused of "Ja Ruling" the game.
50 Cent recently explained the position he is stuck in. He said this whole situation is his own fault. When he finally released his debut album, 50 Cent said he came out too aggressive. From the beginning, he wanted to do pop records later in his career. But, because of the way he came out, he had to keep giving the people hardcore music and the people also grew tired of that.
