I agree. Curtis could have been his magnum opus after GRODT. Don’t know what happened but Graduation was the way better album *10

Beef with NY rappers, breh
Beef with NY radio for not forcing your music, breh
Beef with people in your own group, breh
BEEF WITH YOUR LABEL, BREH

shyt was the smartest move Fif ever pulled because everyone around here was getting sick of dude. He managed to get a boost in album sales by manufacturing an album beef with Ye.

if 50 really won that, fakkit rap probably wouldnt exist. too bad y'all chose Kanye

I was in 6th grade when they battled but even back then I knew a shift was gon happen when Ye beat him .. on some revenge of the nerds type shyt .

 

[Playaz Eyez]

The shift started in 06, then by the times Curtis dropped (with a couple awful singles leading up to it), 50/G-Unit weren’t some indestructible force anymore. They were vulnerable as hell, and it showed. I was s major Unit stan, but even I realized the music quality was declining.

Labels were always gonna bring it to this point.
