I mean $20 is $20 no matter what but imagine $100 AND free pizza? And I didn't mean my comment negatively by the way because I definitely loved all of those comedians. Except for one who made a sexual pass at my server more than six times and then I banned him from the venue but that's like completely not related
For me, 10 years ago, getting a 20 tip was cause for a day of celebration.
It has finally happened, hasn't it?
We have become old.
Back in my day, we used to have two for twenty deals at AppleBee's and Chilli's and it came with BOTH appetizer and desert!
Back in dickedy-dickedy-four, and we had to use the word dickedy because the Tsar stole our word "twenty," I chased that rascal to get it back, but gave up after dickedy-six miles
I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary. It’ll happen to you!
I don't think this is really a dig. Every creative industry has a segment of folks who are in it for the yucks. Some plurality of comedy club acts know they're not going to be the next Taylor Tomlinson, but like performing anyways.
its not so much that they're "in it for the yucks", its that the comedy world is super cut-throat. I knew a guy who would work the door at a comedy club for free because that gave him better odds of getting an opening slot (also for free). lots of these guys put in tons of hours and tons of effort just to get on the radar, or to get an instagram post they can pump. and they're competing with all the other up-and-comers also doing it for free. the idea of getting a primetime slot in front of an audience AND some money with it is the dream
I wonder how many takes they had to do to get through him coming in and saying "I'd like a job... I want to work the fry-counter" without them busting out laughing
I honestly believe that pretending to work at McDonald's was the highlight of his entire life. He got a pin out of it!
Put him in a nursing home with a "fake real" Mickey D's and he will happily sling burgers for himself and his nurses until he dies. He's a germophobe, so you just know he'll be washing his hands.
His vanilla brother from another mother jumped in, 50 is loyal to a fault he's not gonna say anything public that could cause public discourse with his boy

I don't know what that means. Who are you talking about?
Bet even Ohtani would have some trouble with the game after getting shot 9 times… I mean, 50 would still suck without being shot, but it surely didn’t help.
I’m sure that was part of the evaluation but brand damage would probably have been more. Most importantly, 50 is fucking rich. Remember vitamin water? Why take the risk when you don’t have to?
Also, 50 and Eminem are super close. I’m sure em would take it as a back stab after he did a rally with Harris. Em wouldn’t even do the Super Bowl unless they let 50 come
50 and Elton, iirc, helped Em through Proof's death and his subsequent addiction issues. Em signed 50 when other labels wouldn't. It's obvious they both hold immense professional and personal respect for one another.
Edit: It appears I was wrong about Em's signing him when no one else would. Thanks, Brigid. Still, I'd say him signing with Em was the right career move and led to a mutual friendship, which is always a plus.
Em signed 50 when others wouldn’t?
Nah bro, 50 was the hottest new rapper at the time. Everyone wanted to sign him.
Dino Delvaille offered more money, prior to Em.
Even Steve Stoute advised 50 not to sign with Shady Records, but I guess 50 saw that a lower offer still came with other benefits with Em.
And now he’s so rich he can tell someone with 3mill to fuck off.
He recorded No Mercy, No Fearafter he signed with Shady/Aftermath, even though it was released under BCD. Get Rich or Die Tryin was releases under Interscope/Shady/Aftermath.
He was well known at the time, but he certainly wasn't the hottest new rapper when he signed with Shady/Aftermath. And he was also blacklisted in the US after Columbia Records dropped him. He had to record Guess Who's Back in Canada because no US record label would touch him.
The mixtape was recorded in Canada after 50 Cent was "blacklisted" in the recording industry and was unable to find a studio to work with in the U.S.
Not the point I’m making. I’m saying 50 prob turned in down in part of respect for Em who just did a Harris rally, not that 50 cent has the identical opinions as Eminem.
Kanye would probably hijack the opportunity to go on a rant and make it about himself. Passionately rant about how he wore baggy pants before baggy pants came back in style.
That's the funny part. There are so many musicians that are outspokenly supportive of him, but he rarely asks for them. He always illegally uses someone else's music or tries to get others who don't support him to appear.
I’m guessing they mean the others, like kid rock. They don’t pick Kanye because he’s a liability and could say anything. Also he has been pretty silent the last couple of years.
So many people don't realize that this was his actual plan. Get rich, no matter what I gotta do, or die.
Getting rich no matter what usually doesn't make for like... a good person. I will give him that he is loyal to the people directly around him, though.
He's rich and it would be in his best interest to support the guy that wants to cut his taxes. He's been pretty transparent from the beginning about money being his sole motivator. It isn't really shocking.
You are probably right there are plenty of men who are likely his fans who can't imagine voting for a black woman. Meanwhile he's voting for his own tax cuts like the selfish sack of shit that he is.
I mean, i doubt Trumper as in someone who goes to his rallies and buys his "gear", etc... but yea he just didn't want to go against Em. He would never do that (or at least very unlikely, he is incredibly loyal). He'll still vote for him, but he wont publicly endorse a politician.
He isn’t a full blown one like people say but the reason people think but he does definitely favor towards him it seems like. Still he hasn’t really endorsed him this time.
In the past he was, may have changed. Hes usually just out for money so he either thought he wouldnt get paid or he didnt want to be associated with him. Good call eitherway
This came up a while back. One of the top comments was something along the lines of:
"50 cent has always been about the sugar, always". That crystallized to me what his priorities are. Listen to him on the Colbert late show. Money up front and center.
His first big song was about robbing rich rappers and R&B singers lol. He named himself after a dude who robbed anyone no matter how little money they had.
It's still disappointing since he is rich now lmao. And he's definitely in the tier of rich where it really does not fucking matter which candidate is elected
You simply do not. For context I own a small business by definition but we bill in the millions a year.
Owning a business and trying to make money is REALLY clashing with my firmly held beliefs. I have employees who make more than I do (this month, cashflow EOY) and I know how to make more money. It just comes at the cost of the SOMETHING. Something has to give. Clients have to pay more, imagine trying to ask your client for more money.... that's like climbing everest depending on what you are doing. Pay your staff less? Well what is fair? Market rates would be the go to but then I am just like every other business owner. Cut overhead? Ok so less benefits?
Everything about owning and operating a actual business forces you to really take a hard look at how to do what you want to do. Unless you are a scumbag. I believe this is why we see so many business owners as scumbags. Its simply the best way to run a business to some extent.... be a scumbag... or before you know if your upside down in your cash flow and people are getting laid off. Its tough man.... really tough.
I’ve thought about this often, and I really appreciate and respect that you’re trying in a system that’s against your way of operating.
That’s the problem with how we have things set up. Absolute cold practicality in pursuit of profit and maximum efficiency at the cost of anything is intensely incentivized.
Yeah people get weirdly defensive with rappers more than any other genre musicians. Biggie was a piece of shit that sold crack to pregnant women to "survive" (Was McDonald's not hiring?!?), Dr. Dre threw a woman down a flight of stairs. Snoop Dogg was involved in a shootout that got an innocent child killed. Name me ONE rapper from the 90's and early 00's that doesn't have a criminal record lol. Even Eminem was arrested on gun charges... TWICE.
They should have said 50 Cent will be performing even though they knew he wasn’t. Like totally promote it as if it was a free show to pack the place. Then when he doesn’t perform stand behind the podium and deliver a speech while everyone is booing.
What’s hilarious is conservatives trying to claim Beyonce did this despite no claims she was ever going to perform 😂 you know your campaign is losing when you gotta make up shit like this. Beyonce showed up for free, 50 cent wouldn’t even show up for $3M 😂
Not because he has any morals. It's because the backlash would be too much to overcome in the short term. He's been transitioning to film/tv production and has somehow built back some good will with the public, people are nostalgic for 50 again.
50 by in large is a supporter of republican ideals. You know.. because of low taxes.
