it's actually amazing if you think about it. 50 was supposed and should have beat ross by a landslide. 50 had every single thing in his favor. he had 7'xs the fanbase ross had. he at that time had wayyyyyy more money and power, he had sold a lot more records, 50 street credibility was more verifiable and known. and 50 had the biggest haymaker any rapper had ever held previously before -


the under dog who sold us wild coke dealing by the boatload stories was previously a corrections officer aka "the police" and had pics to prove it...how could ross even get a budge for another album once 50 finished him off like it appeared he did Ja Rule.


Ross made better music simply put..he stepped up his bars, production, style, and business sense..most importantly it was the music...he starting killin' shiiit....then 50 turned into a unfunny reality TV star in a jerhi curl :francis:

i mentioned this before but if you really look at it, 50 and Ross are in two almost completely separate rap eras. In 2007 50 was falling off due to the Curtis/Graduation competition, and Ross just released his first humongous single. Ross was pretty lucky that Fif was already on the path to music obscurity (of course 50 is a pop culture icon nowadays), but I really would've liked to see 2003 Fifty against 2010 Ross... :banderas:

Nah, Drake beating Meek >>>>>> Ross beating 50.




Never in a million years I'd imagine that a corny half breed from Canada would destroy a hood rapper from Philly :mindblown:

Nah it wasn't really a huge upset when you actually do your homework

Ross been putting in work for many years before the fame

He's actually from the same era fif is and got his first record deal around the same time 50 did

Scarface, pusha t, baby, master p, ugk, trae da truth, beanie segal, 3 6, outkast, goodie mob, the outlaws & many other well respected rappers from the 90's & early 2000s knew ross very well

Plus ross is actually a miami OG & trick, trina, deuce poppi, jt money and all the real street maimi figures knew him before the CO stint

Its a reason all that effort fif put in and that false info he got from his scornful baby mama and the smoking gun didnt have a impact & the reason ross kept his composure

Yes from a outsiders & fans standpoint it looked really bad & ross career really shouldve been over especially when takin into account 50s street credibility, influence and the CO shyt

nikkas that knew ross and was around him knew he was a real dude & a threat musically & as a emcee

As time goes on you really start to realize that 50 was actually in over his head & ross was actually playing chess and 50 was playing a aggressive game of checkers
