TRUTH: 50 cent has made NO real contributions to hip-hop musically or artistically.

[Max Goonberg]

All ur opinion. His time came n went at the top but to say he has no gems no classic mixtapes verses or quotables is str8 hate. Vanilla ice n mc hammer blew up wit big singles. Fif had mixtape songs getting regular rotation after justbeing black balled with no deal. He was popping b4 em n dre n interscope was in the picture.

No amount of essays will change the fact that fif gonna go down as a legend, like it or not. Definitely one of the biggest n most authentic to do it from nyc. Top 5 character ever in rap easily.

GTFOH 50 gave us entertainment and great music.

"Don't think you safe cause yu moved out the hood cause your mama still around dog and that ain't good/cause if you're smart you'll be shook of me/cause ill get tired of looking for you spray your mama crib and let your ass look for me"

All we need is good music and 50 did that.

I mean Uncle Murda doing songs with Future...what else can you say?

The last cat to really do it for ny IMO was Max B and he's locked up. He was on the verge of blowing up something huge and then his momentum died like that. French been riding his wave.

I feel the same way about Stack Bundles (RIP) and Chinx (RIP).

Yeah, but Chinx had a southern vibe in his music to turn up to. But Fif himself knows that he was the last major cash grab in a major label representing old NYC. When Kanye defeated him, he just lost his marbles and lost a lot more fans since.

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

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

i agree, 50 isnt creative at all....his music is all formula ....

50 is about $$$ and he admit it
