For tha record for the second time, I like both of them I just don't think they are responsible for making that flow popular.
I am not disputing who did it first as it's not rocket science to make the melodic flow in that specific way your style and since they lived so far apart I'm sure they both naturally came to it on their own. But Cham and Paul Wall didn't blow til mid-00s
AFTER Gawdfather made that style of melodic flow popular and the industry was chasing talents to mimic the trend set by 50.
It's the same as Bone Thugs and Twista/Dr. Dre and Jermaine Dupri/ DMX and Ja Rule/ 50 Cent and Ja Rule.
It's not necessarily about who did it first it's just that it's not rocket science to achieve it.
Also, 50 was doing the melodic flow before Ja Rule's debut album which was in 1999. 50 was doing the melodic flow since he came out on JMJ Records and released the Glow Of A Thug single I lanked you earlier.
So like I said, 50 was technically first.
I gave you facts and receipts and all you've done is show me your emotions.
