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

[TheRtist]

He was the first rapper (NOT R&B SINGER WHO DID RAPPERS HOOKS) to popularize doing his own hooks, writing hooks for others and appearing on other songs to giving his 'touch'.

thank you for posting with no proof.

Even if he meant Nate Dogg he really could sing tho. 50 Cent is not a singer, he was just harmonizing/rapping somewhat.

did anyone call Above The Law JUST for the hook, while the rapper supplied the verses? .... like 50 Cent.

Well then, whats youre point? That 50 cent was the first rapper to become known for his hooks, w/o being able to sing?

pretty much. Except 50 Cent was the first rapper to be sought after for hooks without being able to sing. He is a pioneer for rappers making hits that were 100% them.

Pharrell was killing hooks before 50 too
