I think so
Ja was making songs for bytches and when 50 dropped, nikkas hated Ja for whatever reason and rode with 50 despite Ja having real life cards to pull with dude
Ja and 50 was bigger than rap at the time tho though. 50 won but NY hiphop hasn't been the same since.
Curtis let the South shine and made his own NY region suffer. Crabbish behavior.
