50 came too fast & got crazy rich in matter of months... his net worth was at like 250 million at some point of his career & he lives in arguably if not surely the best mansion outta all popular rappers out there so there is no way for him to go on some basic gangsta rap... it'd be stupid. He does talk about guns, bricks & all that pretty often but can never go on his Power of the dollar style 'cuz it'd really look ridiculous.
GRODT owned 2003 album & is now at 10 mills US sales so he had to keep going on that mainstream path too.
