50 Cent suggests that Jay-Z's large number of Grammy awards is due to his marriage to Beyonce

[I'm Blackman]

- Neither were the “hottest” in their era
-HHH stole DDPs diamond cutter as his finisher in the beginning of his career. Hov is known for stealing whole styles (i.e. Big, Jaz, Young Chris)
-Married for leverage within their respective industries
-Cliqued up/part of huge movements (Gen X, the Roc)
-Known for being involved in behind the scene politics
-Both are also dikk ridding fakkits that love the attention

thanks for the breakdown bruh

Corny. What does Beyonce have to do with Jay constantly having high selling albums and high charting singles at that time. The Grammys reward success, and they reward previous winners.

Jay-Z is one of the safest negroes in the celebrity world....


As long as he played the game, they was gonna give him awards regardless.

 

[Mac Ten]

nikka mentioned the kids
Jay gotta respond

50 is gonna keep clowning him if he responds...


Jay aint want no parts of 50. Why u think he wanted the Roc to drop mad music before February 2003?

 

[Mac Ten]

Nah Jigga tried to keep from the Super Bowl and said the NFL had an issue with 50

Jigga be pulling hoe shyt

Jay doesnt like anyone who he cant control

 

[Shadow King]

All that matters is who is in 50’s corner.

The point is he shouldn't have tried. Luckily Em placed integrity over the bag.

Jay-Z went multiplat with HKL Vol 2 before Beyoncé

The reason why we lead the pack, this is a marathon
You start off fast, then you wheezing in the back

- Jay-Z (It’s On)
50 KOON ass hating in the back as usual, nuffin new

People are haters. It's like expecting Tim Duncan circa 2014 to be leading the Spurs still when it was Kawhi's time to shine. Beyonce is 12 years younger than Hov. Kanye is like 8 years younger. Of course, they would've been in their prime career years while Hov was slowing down so to a hating ass nikka like 50 it would look like they made Jay-Z hot Jay-Z had already put in work on his own. He was just cruising at that point. Lil Wayne did the same thing. When he was slowing down career wise, Drake, Nikki and to a way lesser extent, Tyga, kept Young Money hot. Nobody disrespects Weezy about it though.

 

[NormanConnors]

Is that a bad thing?

Didn't say it was, just that is was a clear power move/agenda/objective and etc

 

[Elim Garak]

They still taking shots at each other in 2023.

 

[TheNig]

Didn't say it was, just that is was a clear power move/agenda/objective and etc

So what's your point?

 

[Ziggiy]

I like 50...but his bitterness stays on display and he has to resort to going to radio stations and podcasts to cosign this stuff

I don’t think 50 is bitter. I think he’s just a damn bully. A bully who can never truly grow and evolve out of that space and persona due to circumstances of his life. Dude had to bully his way through the streets. Bully his way into the music industry. Bully his way into the television industry. Its just part of who he is.

50 will always see Jay-Z as a threat. Even though he’s said complimentary things about him in the past, its always backhanded. Because 50 just CAN’T turn that shyt off

 

[Street Knowledge]

50 cent has had the big 3 of Dre/Em/Jimmy in his corner his entire relevant career. No one can stop him from doing shyt

Which is what makes this beyonce convo even more hilarious when you look at who 50 has had backing him.

This has me thinking If you’re a rapper who would you rather have in your corner

Beyonce

Or

Dr Dre/Eminem/Jimmy Iovine


The funny thing is Jay Z pre Beyonce was WAAAAAY more successful in music than 50 ever was before the big 3

The Grammys award success but they’re also hypocritical as fukk when it comes to black artists outside of their respective R&B/Rap fields. Its completely understandable that Speakerboxx/Love Below would win Best Rap Album in 04 but there’s no reason WHATSOEVER why 50 shouldn’t have won Best New Artist over muthafukking Evanescence if we’re going by success. Get Rich Or Die Tryin both outcharted and outsold Fallen. That was just a robbery straight up.

 

[Surreal]

Wait til 50 get really petty

Fallen and GRODT both sold 10mil in the US and Fallen outsold it globally since release though. But I feel like that's a separate argument because the Best New Artist award is a general award voted on by everyone. I'd expect a rock/pop group to beat out rappers since they have a higher pool of voters to benefit from, despite the Jimmy Iovine/Dre/Interscope connection. I'm talking about rap categories though. Most of Jay's Grammys come from BP3 and WTT, two of the most successful rap albums of the last 12 years. 2009-2012 when Jay was dominating another era commercially, in ways we had never seen before from a 90s artist that far into his career. Back when him and Kanye were the only rappers doing massive tours.

50 is always gonna poke at Jay, and the Super Bowl shyt proved that Jay still feels some type of way about him. So to me this is just 50 talking shyt because it doesn't make sense otherwise. He's gotta find an excuse for why Jay managed to dominate in multiple eras and have resurgences whereas he only had that one hot run. In the past he blamed payola, then Live Nation, now Beyonce. Meh.
