Not on a technical level, but I'd say his verses on many men were pretty special, just the first of his songs that came to mind....oh and 15-20 on a personal level, shyt on him all you want but fif was the fukking man back in the day 2000-2005, for that he's in my top 20, only just.
Realistically Where would 50 Cent rank in your top 50

one thing i agree his impact was very big out here in NY, that's why people could say he's a top 10-20 artist. every hip hop radio station was playing Wanksta & In Da Club back in 2002-2003.
hes easily in my top 50. all the dope fukkin music this dude has been a part of?
im thinkin even high 20s
I agree. And he raps much better than alot of dudes on here would like to admit.
I feel like get rich is not truly a classic but I played it a lot in 03-05How is it legit when you asked does he got a classic?
nikka you don't remember GRODT??
And a top 50? Rapper?
Easy.
These are not good questions
But is it really a timeless classic in the same vein as a illmatic, chronic, LAD, etc

More often than not I tend to take that L.
Fif is like the nikka who was unbeatable at the og street fighter 2. He figured out a formula that worked.
Then Street Fighter 2 Turbo came out and he was still doing the same moves he mastered in the OG game. Soon nikkas noticed he has no answer for Super Combos. His formula did not factor in combos or any of the other new shyt Turbo brought in.
He was still living off his rep but was slowly taking L's after L's. Then he gets totally thrown for a loop when Akuma (Rick Ross) is introduced.
Rick a flawed beatable character ends up beating Fif with his own attack strategy. He spams fireballs until Fif decided get aggressive and close the gap by jumping over the hadokens..
When Fif commits and jumps in the air to kick ross in his teeth..(sextape)
Pay millions to Ross's baby moms.

i mean when you talk about 50 cent as a rapper, im only thinkin 98 to about 06
-power of the dollar
-guess whos back
-the early unit tapes
-get rich
-beg for mercy
-the massacre
-all the g unit radio tapes
thats a pretty fukkin fair amount of good to great music. fukk the pimpin curly videos n all that
I don't know but I have stood and still stand by the fact that he, in his prime, is the greatest hook maker in all of hip hop. I put him above Nate Dogg, Drake, and anyone else. 50 was pretty elementary as a rapper but when it came to hooks and melodys he was on fire.
i think its not crazy to say Drake has surpassed him on that

i don't know what its like to be a young cat and revisit the g-unit era but if you lived through the early 2000's.. 50 was that dude.

I was born in 89 and was a big fan of queens hip hop and 50 in my teens and never was a big fan of rakim/kane and em or even older nikkas like kool herc and cool moe dee.
50 in my personal top 10 for his melodies and flow and for marking my teens but realisticly if we judge on bars/emcee id put him like 35-45

Whoa whoa whoa... this might deserve its own thread. If it has not been done already.
And we must be clear on the context. Best hook delivery? Or the best at constructing hooks?
I personally say Fif might be the best at creating hooks. I dont think he was the best at singing/rapping them.
Got to go with Nate D O Double G.
