50 Cent Marketing - First pitch fail + AMA

[vstin]

May 27, hilarious pitch fail. It looks like he wants to throw that way.

June 3, AMA

June 4, drops new album

The AMA is marketing no doubts about that but I think the pitch fail is marketing too

Thoughts?

It's definitely on purpose the fail pitch - from the beginning he looks around the cameras - not even looking at the catcher.

AMA was to gather some more momemtum for his mixtape thing.

Sold I think 30K - at $5.50 a pop that's 150K after everyone gets their cut so all in all a good day for 50 cent. That's before any interviews or any offers or anything else. Also consistently pushing smsaudio so he's probably trying to boost it up a bit to get some of that money like beats.

But then again - when you have stacks like this do you really care about a bad pitch?

dude's trying hard but doing worse with each album

50 Cent is a horrible rapper but his investing skills are good, not sure who helps him with that. Mgruinn is currently busy with other things so I count him out.

Honestly 50 is a fucking G.
His new shit is sub-par, but you can't really hate on his ass.
He made it and that's really all that matters.
+ his old shit was great

Remember this shit?

50 is a solid rapper. Atleast his old shit was pretty good.

There is no way he did that pitch on purpose. Goes against his whole gangster testosterone image and what he's been marketed as from the start.

Tony Yayo is better in every way, so much humanity.

This is also the dude who extended on Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power - so I think he's not against manipulating the public.

And so does donating huge chunks of your salary as well as running a purely philanthropic business venture - people's personas change over time, mate.

It's so damn obvious he did that on purpose

 

[retraCC]

Marketers being marketed too...

That's not really the same thing.

I've just seen many interviews with him and he holds himself a certain way. I don't think he's the type of dude to want to embarrass himself just to market his album.

My thinking is that he can cope with what some people think or believe about him.

Similar cases could be Miley Cyrus or Kanye West.
