When 50 Cent dies do you think he will be remembered like how we remember Pac and Biggie?

[flea]

I don't live in New York so I don't know how much of an impact he made over there so I'm curious. God forbid 50 dies tomorrow, do you think he will be looked at as one of those fallen soldiers of hip hop who blessed us with street poetry? shyt that will be timeless and still get played randomly at parties cause u know people fukk with it? He's made a few mistakes in his life like candy shop or magic stick but ignoring that, do u think 50 is a legend in the making?

Hell naw..

15 cent is and always will be

50's only real transcendent legacy will be his single "In Da Club" and then an unceasing amount of devil-may-care celeb gossip fukkery

more than many artists can claim, so

No.

to me the only reason the nikka really took off was because nikkaz was tired of ja-rule spreading the air-waves with ultra soft ballads. 50 stood against that, 50 won.

 

[Canada Goose]

Why not? He has classic verses, classic songs, classic mix tapes, classic albums etc. He's a Hip Hop legend.

No matter what happens he will be remembered as less than jay z

GRODT influenced a whole generation, so most likely.

And if he gets that SK shyt poppin for Africa, that's a good look

No, Pac will always be the face of rap. At best he'll be on Biggie's level of love and recognition.

 

[DANJ!]

Only problem is,,, he's fallen off popularity-wise. I think that if he died, he'd still be remembered for his dominance and how huge a deal he was in his time. But the thing with Pac and Big is that they died in their primes, and right after dominant runs in the game, and as they were only getting better with more to come. With 50, he's cooled off a great deal from what he was in the early-mid 2000s. So I think there would be a lot of nostalgia for the music from his prime and people would remember that run... but the canonization Pac and Big had, probably not. Now if he had died in like 2004-5, he would be worshipped. Right now if you play "In Da Club" you might clear the floor in a club... but if he was dead right now? Sheeeeit... "In Da Club" would be played with "I Get Around" and "One More Chance"

 

[Pimp]

If he dided after The Massacre he would have been compared to Biggie lol..

So will everybody not named Biggie or Pac so whats your point

 

[Yung Yogurt]

No, he doesn't even have a solid fanbase outside of the net. 10 years from now his shyt will be obsolete...nobody will be talking about him. Nas and Jay gonna overshadow him

 

[MiC]

So will everybody not named Biggie or Pac so whats your point

Tell that to the nas or rakim Stans

 

[SpacelySprockets]

Tell that to the nas or rakim Stans

The harsh realities are that Jay is superior to the general public outside of their stans
