Dude was introverted and quirky and is the biggest star in the history of the music industry. Not every plan is gonna work for everybody.

True, however Mike wasnt a rapper. Also the 80s was different. A rapper is "supposed" to be boastful, cocky & confident, at least street rappers.

the thing they left out about tupac, is if he had not been killed, his acting career would have eventually grown to overshadow his rapping career. sort of like Ice cube and will smith. he would an a list superstar, so his approach to social media would be natural because he's used to being in front of a camera anyway.

with biggie there's no point in speculating. if the bullets didn't get him, his cholesterol would've. dude was never making it out of the 90s.

For many people, the music part of Hip Hop takes a backseat to the backstory and image.


Image plays a big part, also they get deep into their personal lives and try to connect with them on some stan level shyt. It gets weird when goes to that. That's why people can't shake off certain artists. It's deep in their psyche and nostalgia plays a factor cause it brings them back to the days of them growing up to a certain artist's music.

Yep, and these Curtis stans say some of thebmost outrageous shyt like he better than DMX, Jigga, Nas, Ghostface Killah, Jada and so on. If his stans cannot comprehend lyricism at a high level, they should just say so.

That's the nostalgia kicking in. 50 Cent was not my first rapper i've listened to. It might be for them though.

nas, dblock and camron didnt damage his career at all...

they didn't have enough mainstream pull to put a dent in what he was doing

they weren't even threats....

no listener was about to stop listening to 50 because of a diss track....

but hearing the lloyd banks response kept them listening to 50

you arent living in the real world

These guys are INSANE

Those guys never needed the mainstream. They had underground love and still got mainstream features for that. LOX had Mariah on songs, Nas still had Diddy and Missy Elliot on songs, and Cam'ron had Mariah on his Oh Boy remix. And didn't have to make trash like Candy Shop to get the masses attention.

Bro.

That has nothing to do with the fact that a lloyd banks diss response had nothing to do with 50cent selling units and selling out venues.

The whole game gunot campaign had more mainstream visibility and damaged 50's money more than anything you mentioned.

Game and kanye hurt 50's career.

Nas, dblock and Cam'ron didn't have enough mainstream pull to sway public opinion.
