That was Ross dumb ass explanation....I remember when 50 warned Ross not to stand next to Khaled and Joe cause he'll get hit too...he was hosting a video countdown and when a Ross vid came on, he was giving Ross props then sent that shot....I never understood why Ross would put that "he ain't say what up" bullshyt out there
50 was doing a vlog on ThisIs50 and pretty much dissed Joe and Khaled while trolling Wayne and mentioned Ross but pretty much warned him to stay away from them. Ross just took a page out of 50's playbook and capitalized off dissing him since 50 was bigger back then. I think Ross initially said 50 looked past him at the BET Awards so he dissed 50 and Floyd but once they had a falling out, Ross and Floyd became friends

I think 50 really thought he was gonna end Ross’s career
With the ammo he had, a lot did but Ross musically was putting out too much heat while 50 was declining so the fake street BS Ross was displaying got a pass.. similar to how Gunna beat the snitch allegations by dropping dope music. If that beef happened in this day and age with IG, X, etc, the antics 50 was pulling with Tia, Khaled's mom, Gunplay beatdown, MMG chain, etc would've went viral

Ross still can make quality music but I've seen a decline in the public perception of him over the years because he does a lot of corny shyt. 50 does too but it's more justifiable because the corny shyt 50 does isn't new behavior. Ross be in pools promoting Bel-Air while cracking jokes on artists bigger than him (Drake/50) but ignored Game

50 throw shots at everybody from Hov to Dave Blunts and Hurricane Chris :snoop:

NAH ROSS JUMPED IT OFF WAS MAFIA MUSIC

:devil:
:evil:

yup.. first shot on wax was Mafia Music

15 years later that has nothing to do with 50.

Ross for bigger after the beef

He’s damn near 50, he doesn’t need to make albums anymore. 50 cent failed to “end” his career.

Im just saying Im over all looking at an entertainment career

like 50 has gone on to still tour (top 5 highest grossing), star in movies, make/produce movies, create production studios.

50 career still fairly thriving

When Ross not being a Chatty Patty to 50 or Drake, what else does he have going on?

The outcome of 50/Ross can be looked at in so many ways it ain't even funny. Ross gained more from the feud than 50 cuz he got bigger but overtime, I wouldn't say that either defeated the other

Ross survived being exposed and 50 was a big enough artist for the fact that he didn't end Ross' career to not effect him. 50 ain't end Jada, Joe, etc either

The only person who's career 50 truly put damage on was Ja Rule

The best diss song out of the Ross/50 feud came neither of them, it came from Banks but that's 50's side

Overtime, Ross has done more harm to himself than anybody

50/Ross feud saw Gunplay get mauled, MMG chain stolen, Ross BM and kids at Floyd house, Ross BM shopping, Ross other BM on porn, Ross exposed as a CO but Ross got bigger as a music artist so I mean, its kinda weird

Idk how anyone could say Ross won that feud but idk how anyone could say 50 won either cuz Ross music overshadowed everything :manny:

That definitely wasn’t going to happen. What happened to Ja is really more of an anomaly. You rarely see someone’s career damaged from losing a rap battle. Also, Ross isn’t a pop artist. He makes black music.

Imagine 50 trying to end someone like Boosie’s career. It ain’t happening because of the lane Boosie is in

I think if the 50/Ross beef happened in current times, more ppl would credit 50 for staining Ross career because everything 50 did in 2008 would be amplified if he did it today on social media. He did that shyt 15 years too early

Rap feuds these days are more about who can talk more shyt on IG or troll the other harder. Excluding Drake/Kendrick and the random Joyner Lucas friendly battles, no 1 does diss songs anymore either

There were rumors of Ross being a CO but it didn't get brought to the forefront until the 50 feud

If IG, X, numerous podcasts, etc were around back then like today, 50 might've done more damage

Realistically by any fair measure he should have. nikka was a CO playing kingpin using another real kingpin's name. Thats a nuclear bomb for rap beef. And some how, some way nikkas let him rock after that :manny:.

well, 50 didn't destroy ja because he made amazing diss songs... it was that he/his investors had Ja encircled with a whole ass media campaign that consumed ja rule. there was nothing that happened like that in rap before or after. theres no "ether" in them ja and 50 engagements. people barely mention the diss songs they talk about the surrounding lore

50 went at ross when he had a dead music career and a public that had already moved past him... and he also didnt expose ross for being a CO as that was already out there .

Not true, it was already big before the 50 feud, Infact Trick Daddy was the one being blamed for exposing Ross. That's why Ross was dissing Trick on DTR.

Didn't 50 have to come up off of 6 million for putting that tape out?

When Ross not being a Chatty Patty to 50 or Drake, what else does he have going on?

Franchising, car shows, renting out his house, and enjoying life I guess.
