Because anyone with a clue would know 50 was harmonizing hooks long before he called out Ja for Singing. There is a difference from singing and harmonizing. People love to conflate the two to try and make a point.

Harmonizing a hook is singing to a lesser degree.

Singing is flat out trying to hit notes with runs and bravado.

I often read peoples post and never comment because they are operating off a false premise.

I didn't see much difference in the two, except 50's had a much more aggressive content that touched on the harsh realities of the actual space he was trying to overcome. Its crazy 50 didn't sing that much before he got to his deal with Interscope. I still messed Ja but 50 was just better.

He didn't do it much, he's top 20 songs before Interscope didn't have much singing, like That Aint Gangsta, I'm A Hustler, Fukk You, etc. I'll say around the G-Unit run was when he started singing, by then his style was more catchy and dumbed down.
