Is 50 Cent Hip-Hop's first Hook man?

[MiC]

The same way we talk about the Drake stimulus here, there is no question at one point there was a 50 Cent stimulus. Was there ever an Ice Cube stimulus? nope.

Oh really? Name some singles that were big due to this 50 cent stimulus package excluding songs with eminem and g unit?
Down on me, magic stick....what else?

most of these songs would not have touched radio if it wasn't for 50 especially the ones titled Remix.

I already discussed Above The Law

when was Bone Thungs or Ja Rule called on JUST to do a hook?

You posted 4 songs only one of which was a top 40 hit

Na, you cant say 'outside of g-unit' knowing damn well he rarely worked with people outside his camp in his prime. The man was a hit making machine in his era, period.

its noteworthy considering no other rapper did it to the extent that he did. Think of how difficult it is for rappers to come up with strong catchy hooks without being able to sing. Out of the T-Pains, Drakes...etc. 50 Cent is the first true rapper to do it.

Krayzie Bone did it first moron

might not be the first hook man but he is the GOAT hook man

im confused.

now youre limiting it to JUST doing a hook, BUT in the post directly above this, youre posting 50 songs with him rapping on them.

make up your mind b.

and yes, theres songs where krayzie bone & jarule are doing nothing but the hook.
