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

[TheRtist]

you forget Nate Dogg?

u forgot to read the original post?

 

[TheRtist]

Pharrell was killing hooks before 50 too

Pharrell could sing tho, plus; Pharrell wasnt a rapper first.

 

[TheRtist]

Nate Dogg. Close thread.

shouts outs to you for not reading the original post.

 

[TheRtist]

Meth?

was Meth ever doing hooks alone for other rappers?

Last time I checked Meths biggest song featured an R&B singer.

 

[Bugsmoran]

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

Yep







Cold 187 singing background vocals wit her on this lol

 

[ThaRealness]

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

That's not really a noteworthy achievement though, youre just describing 50 cent's particular niche.

read the OP and its still Nate Dogg

Nate dogg

Yep

nice, but those are all small scale west coast artists outside of Easy E. 50 did it for plenty established artists during his time (Freeway, Lil Scrappy, The Game, Akon..etc.)

read the OP and its still Nate Dogg

is this primarily a rap or R&B song?

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.
