lol @ camel telling his camp to drop as much music as possible before 50

[DANJ!]

50 coming had nothing to do with ROC tho.. Murder Inc was the top dogs really by then.
Y'all dont remember that?

Murder Inc was a one man show tho'.

I mean yea Ashanti was there too but that's R&B. Murder wasn't rulin' to the point where nobody else was able to prosper. When Ja was big in '01-'02, so were Jay, Em, Nelly, Nas...

In terms of rappers, anybody that wanted their new shyt to pop off shoulda done it in '02, cause 50 legit overshadowed everything for most of '03. I think that's what he meant- there was no way a Beanie, Bleek, Free, whoever were gonna come out in the middle of that 50Mania and shine. Not to say they would've gotten THAT big anyway, but their chances were better before that GRODT came thru.

The crazy thing about 50's buzz is that it was mirrored accross the globe. Not just a US thing.

This. I remember being in 5th grade walkin round the skool yard listenin to my bootleg GRODT tape on my walkman in MTL, Canada. And so was every other little nikka.

IMO, drake's buzz was NOTHING compared to snoop, DMX, and 50.

Snoop was some other shyt having grown up in Cali, DMX and 50 was crazy cuz I remember nikkas in Cali hyping them, I especially remember being in HS when 50 was supposed to drop POD and how much ppl were talking about him then, shyt, then getting shot up and coming back ppl were waiting on 50 like the second coming of Jesus

:ppvbro: 50 came through like hurricanes do
i thought i finished his ass at summer jam too

Say what you want about 50 the past couple of years but I've never seen anything like when he came in. Everybody was riding with the Unit those All Eyez on 50 Cent episodes.
