QFT.
BISD is not going to sell well, according to 50s standards.
50s screwed right now, mainstream doesn't want the hardcore, they're too busy singing, rocking mohawks and skinny jeans, 50 doesn't fit in.
Scenario 1: 50 makes a hard album + mainstream doesn't want it + only core fans purchase = poor sales
Scenario 2: 50 makes a softer album + mainstream MIGHT show interest + core fans dont want it = poor sales
Scenario 3: don't release an album
what can FIF do???
Speaking for myself, Ill ALWAYS buy his album if I know he's giving me the dark, gritty, empty a clip in you type of material, so FIF should stick to that.

I think the issue is that 50 lost the balance between hardcore and pop. On Curtis, he went too far soft with the music, so this time around, he's going way too far hardcore. His ability to craft catchy hooks and catchy tracks has been watered down. Not saying it's gone, but he hasn't done much. With the Jay and Ross antics, it shows he needs to be focusing more on the music ...
