This is the truth.

Get Rich Or Die trying might as well be Nellyville

He wasn't the first to make a run off of mixtapes and freestyles he just made the most of it.

He was never an artist

He's not in a top 5/10/25/50 anything.

Definitely not as a lyricist
Definitely not as a songwriter
Definitely not as an emcee
Definitely not as a creative...

He sold alot of records...but so did Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer and where the fukk are they?

In the real world, no one cares about the kanan mixtape

Peopel forgot about his video game (s) (he had two)
Get Rich the movie was absolutely terrible
all his movies flopped

He lost steam trying to recreate the same songs over and over
and the same album
Has no depth as an artist
Beefed with everyone in sight
Made new york hip-hop more divided than anyone else

Now nobody wanna work with him
clowned other rappers for sales
now he doing artest numbers

He couldn't get hot even with Adele Katy Perry Drake Future Fetty Wap and One Direction on one track

With him suing rick ross for freestyling over his songs he is showing how much he killed hip hop and used it as a product. Basically using what made him famous against his enemies

His beef with Ross nearly finished him...in many ways than one. Atleast Ross came back with music.

Say what you want about ross it takes alot of creativity to come up with the ultra fabricated bullshyt he does even though you know none of it is true and he was a CO. He makes shyt sound good and has a personality to match.

50 cent personality wise is a sociopath and a just in general somebody who cares too much about the bottom line. He took that street mentality to the top, but dude is the black gordon gecko...using his money as leverage against people...while offering nothing musically. This came off in his manufactured hits and formula mentality towards song writing.

He will have his accomplishments and money but at the end of the day as an artist he is not a factor period.

He would never be a thing if it wasn't for the dre eminem iovine cosign and honestly any attempt by the media to make 50 appear as some dope rapper was all manufactured by that same three headed monster that forced XXL to become Aftermath Monthly from 2004-2007. Every other month it was either 50, dre, or em on that cover. Funkflex was the only nikka to singlehandedly just be a gunit groupie and flood NY airwaves with that while phasing out other artists for southern rappers.

That's why Kanye was destined to win the sales battle he had with 50. He believed in hiphop, he made more contributions to the game pof hip-hop and as an artist he miles beyond anything 50 could ever touch.

Uncle Murda doing what he did now better in 2016. and the past couple of years.

BTW, I don't care about negs, that's the truth.

I see dude as a success and an inspiration but as an artist...fukk no!

Has 1 classic album that aged terribly.

More classic mixtapes than albums

The OG G-Unit Radios were heat
Has some classic freestyles
The way he did the mixtape game was revolutionary
But damn, dude regressed. Terribly.

IT's to the point where Lloyd Banks is ten times better than 50 and Young Buck.

Game was always a better lyricist and rapper than 50 even with his namedropping.

TBH, Cam'ron and TI were doper and just better draws in hip-hop in the 00s than 50 as a rapper.

50 just benefitted more as bneing at the right place at the right time.

He filled the void between tupac's death, DMX's falloff, Jay's retirement, and Eminem's rise to superstardom.

All beef aside with Ja, he really didn't kill his career...the people got tired of his non-rappin singing ass doing love songs with ashanti and totally doing a 180 from what he did on Venni Vidi Vici.

He preyed on his remains like a vulture and struck in for the kill.

He sold alot of records though...
He made a cultural impact with G-Unit and the merchandise
He marketed himself like Hammer
He managed to monopolize off of it more than Hammer did
He put his homies on when he made it like hammer, but luckily for 50 his homies had just as much talent if not more than 50.

IT's sad where he's at now.

Power is cool...he could be doing more hollywood things and leaving that gangsta street shyt he still on even as a millionaire behind, but that beef with ross fukked him up.

IF you saying 50 was cool on a musical level, maybe that had more to do with him and his producers cause they were setting trends at the time...same thing with heatmakers and just blaze with the dips and Jay Z.

Even Jay realized he couldn't stand up to 50 at that point and bowed out.

But what albums or songs hold out on a real musical scale? Jay has those. Nas has though...

50 has never come close to making or matching the quality of the well received artful classics in hip-hop like other rappers have. You can't compare Get Rich or Die Trying to the Chronic or Illmatic or Reasonable Doubt or even newer classics.

Even DMX's low points in 1998-2003 where better than some of 50s material in that time frame.

Wayne had copycats biting his style
The closest 50 had to that was Red Cafe, but he was moreso biting Fab.

The mixtape grind was on fleek because of 50...
But man, really as an MC...are you rating him in a top 50?

There's more people I can think of to fill that void who contributed more to hip-hop on an artistic and musical level.
50 dont' make art...he makes products.
Atleast jay tried to make it subtle that he was a rapper and a businessman in his later success. Still managed to make musical contributions to the game far beyond 50.

Interscope did a legendary job marketing him as the super thug rapper of the 00s. Even I was fooled. :wow:

He was the last one that ate lovely in gangsta rap. :wow:

Exactly, 50 was a marketing product. Super thug like Pac but from NY.

When Eminem co-signed him along with Dre he would not be able to be touched by anyone.

Which is why Jay bowed out with the black album in 2003. What retirement? He knew he couldn't hold a candle to the hype 50 had. To this day, no other rapper I can remember was as hyped when he first came out than 50.

we all heard about the "shot 9 times" thing..which cemented him as some legend due to that...why was that fact even marketed? IT's as if Interscope knew they need another Tupac.... :wow:
he had the MTV news specials
In The Club was the hottest song of 2003. Basically the anthem of 2003

Jay's platinum plaques mean more on a hip-hop level than 50s though...he came through and was an innovator already on a low key tip, he was also there to fill the void that was created when Biggie died. But really if you think about it, Biggie if he was still alive would of probably kept the torch in his hand instead of pass it to Jay. He would of done it anyways.

Fif was the last big cash out to NY street rap before the south took over. It's no coincidence that Lil Jon took over Summer 2003 and then souths takeover is still going on to this day.

Fif killed NY rap. These new NY nikkas are merely imitating the southern protocol of strip club/trap beats just to eat.
