50 Cent comes to Ibiza

2011 must surely go down as the year hip hop finally made an impression on the island. Curtis James Jackson III plays at Amnesia on August 12th.

Replacing Duran Duran, who had to withdraw after Simon Le Bon got a dodgy throat, is East Coast rapper 50 Cent, without doubt one of the most commercially succesful musicians of the last decade. Bursting onto the scene in 2003 with the track 'In Da Club', this protégée of Dr.Dre and Eminem has since gone onto sell 30 million albums worldwide and associations with his G-Unit Records label include artists like The Game, Lloyd Banks and Young Buck.

A slightly different style from Duran Duran of course, 'Fiddy' is the latest in a string of hip hop and RnB artists to have hit Ibiza this summer, the biggest being Snoop Dogg of course, but also De La Soul, Usher, Ludacris and P.Diddy has made his annual jaunt to the island too. Tickets on sale now.

this is an absolute joke! 50 cent in one of the worlds best "dance!!!" clubs, home of the start of ibiza as people know it, cocoon, cream, manumission once upon a time, armada up to last year, total crime against the dance world!:spank:

But they keep telling us its all about DIVERSITY! Hmmmmm..... more like an 'inner city america' takeover turning Ibiza into the 'Westside' of LA.

I have been one of the biggest critics of this wave on nonsense that is occuring at the moment. However, it's just a phase, and I am sure it will end soon, and things will revert to normal. The Guetta / SHM backlash hasn't happend yet.... and still every RnB star wants a piece of the action...

A decent piece written there for a change.

"No matter how much money is washing around, or how long the queues behind the velvet rope, Ibiza has a way of puncturing the most pretentious egos."

Certainly used to.

"Ibiza, on the other hand, can survive anything except being overrun by idiots with full pockets, empty heads and cloth ears. Pop stars are welcome on the island, as long as they get what it’s about and bring something fresh and interesting to the mix."

Well said.

i think its a taster of whats to come, the fact that these nights seem to be complete sellouts aswell i think ther will be even more of them next year.

unfortunately im too young to have experienced ibiza way back in the day but even i have noticed a big change in the place from the first time i was there 6 years ago.

Also remember him doing his DJ play-offs like something off jets vs. sharks. He'd drop Jungle Brothers - I'll House You and everyone would go mental jumping up and down and singing along. I even still have the record.. :oops:

This'll do :

Still a far cry from 50 Cent tho', let's be fair (altho' I will admit to buying the original NWA album and learning the words :lol: !!)

Very positive way of looking at it! :lol:

Yeah funny sh*t. He just kinda mumbles and shimmy across the floor saying his own name and where he`s from..I dont think he is the sharpest knife in the drawer by all accounts..:D

Posted by craig72 on 9 August 2011

I dont understand whats going on... so many rappers going to Ibiza this year, and its the same here in Marbella... we have had Snoop Dog, 50 Cent, Flo Rider and lots of others.

I just don't get why its suddenly happening loads.

That is disturbing. WHY WHY WHY would you go to ibiza and choose to see 50 cent?!

Posted by ben1993 on 9 August 2011

I'd honestly rather go see N-Dubz
