AGENDA

New Business

● Celebrate Call Out Culture, talk about specific episodes that were benchmarks in visibility/audience building. The necessary change where rappers get to talk about music and make it, how that has affected their careers.

● Talk about 50 Cent’s 2003 album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Some people say it is a classic album, others say it has the best hooks in rap. Cutting through nostalgia and marketing...what is it really?

QUESTIONS

● Did 50 Cent’s relationship with Eminem change Em for the worse?

● Did 50 Cent really devour and inhabit what Ja Rule was doing while mocking it?

● Did 50’s ascension have long term negative effects on NY Rap?

● When 50 went Diamond, he appeared to be in line to be THE GUY. It didn’t stick, why?

● What is the most embarrassing part of the 50 Cent experience(as a fan of rap)?
