They arguing on twitter: Who is the better songwriter, Hov or 50?

[No Hook]

I still listen to some of his shyt but in hindsight, Banks, Dre, Em and 9 bullets was really his claim to fame. He was always an average to below average rapper who just made some catchy songs

I loved GRODT when it came out and by the summer of 03 came you couldn’t tell me shyt about him as a kid but looking back now that I’m older it’s just a good album with some cringey ass songs

All I remember is the hook and 50 looking Like a Tyler Perry extra with the baby oil

Cmon man, outside of 50s ability to craft catchy hooks and melodies (which he seems to have completely lost) Jay is a better rapper in every other category.

And even then 50 has more misses in that space than Jay because it was the only formula he knew.

I love 50, will always be a big fan, that G Unit run was the soundtrack to my teenage years, but Hov is on another level.

Jay z is only compared to someone at their peak

jay z whole body of work is compared to someones peak

50 cent has made over 100 songs since 2008


let’s name some classic hooks since then

 

[Striving For Greatness]

Either I’m trippin off the ecstasy or I could feel the world turning


I’m having flash backs I can feel the shells burning
