DJ Drama explains that they furthered 50 Cent’s model for how to make a successful career from a mixtape.

“[Trap or Die] took what 50 [Cent] had already established and took it to even greater heights,” he says. “50 had made an impact with mixtapes, taking other artist’s music and flipping it and making it into his own. Then Jeezy and I came along and followed in those footsteps, basically creating the street album. Trap Or Die was the new standard to what you needed to accomplish to be that next guy.”

50 made it cool to re-do the hottest song out which is something that Lil Wayne ran with down the line...

Wayne oughta be thanking 50 too.
