Diddy easily

how?

:why:

50 cent, because this nikka was almost (literally) dead and buried, if he had stayed in the streets for another year or two he might have been killed. Eminem and Dre literally saved dude's life and what's more, he was able to make a couple of 100 million after all that.

dre & Eminem didn't save 50 cent's life. they simply won the bidding war to sign dude. if he didn't sign with them, he would've simply took another deal.

all that good sammartian talk they used to push was :ducktales:, just like the story of dr dre not knowing Eminem was white until he met him.

Tho he's not really on top right now, Jermaine Dupri should be up there, like diddy, dude started out as a dancer then went to finding random talent in malls and at festivals to the CEO of a label producing multi platinum hits, to record exec that saved fukking Mariah Carey's career....dude parlayed himself into someone

I say Jay.

He went from a broke drug dealer to one of the most prolific and highest-selling music artists ever. He's got his own sports management company, he's an author, now he's dipping his feet in the art game, he's one-half of one of the most famous couples in the world and is just an all-around business, man.

Russell is a strong number 2...there was no blueprint on how to create and expose an entirely new and revolutionary genre.

Russell didn't do any of that. there were big rap labels before def jam.

hes still my 2nd pick behind master p tho.

one thing im noticing is that everything jay gets props for, is something that was already done bigger by master p.

from a rougher upbringing to being a better drug dealer(lol) to being a better ceo to being more than just a runner for the white folks at his sports agency.

how is this chit even a tie?

master p used to be :pacspit: @ the folks that c00n carter panders to.

master p takes pics with oprah n the obamas, then goes in the studio with alley boy. meanwhile, jay pushing freeway out of pictures.

Master P did it bigger? Go on. Not saying you're wrong, but I think Jay has done everything he's accomplished in the grandest of fashions. Not to mention the aforementioned connections Jay has made, I can't see Master P breaking bread with the Warren Buffets of the world.

1-P. The way he flipped that money from his grandparents was:wow: Then taking everything he learned from the west and mixing it with the south was:ohlawd: and his grind during the NL era was:whew: lnside and outside music. My nikka even balled with the hornets:deadrose:
2-Diddy Master of paper work:takedat: and truly was Jack of all trades.
3-Fif From laying into the hospital bed,to getting blackballed by Irv,dropped from Sony,to become who he became was epic.
4-Jay I had a few jokes but now's not the time:youngsabo:
5-Suge This nikka went from scrub football player,to bodyguard,and ran his own empire:dead:
As far as shadiest,lets just say it's a damn shame dame isn't on this list:mjpls:

homie, I don't think master p is even interested in breaking bread with warren buffet.....matter fact, who the f*ck is warrant buffet anyway?

that's the difference. jay building a lot of his chit off of breaking his back for white cosigns, while P said "f*ck yall" and they hated it, yet still had to respect it.

master p gets my vote easily.

a lot of these dudes did too much selling out and back-biting.



Russell didn't do any of that. there were big rap labels before def jam.

hes still my 2nd pick behind master p tho.

:dahell:the same P that went in front congress c00ning it up about gangster lyrics in rap and now back doing the same shyt cause he broke? stop dikk riding and give respect where it's due. P get's respect for what he did but he's nowhere near J. dude spent most of his time in the game being a sidekick or overshadowed by other people but still kept grinding to where he is today. plus J never spoke bad on hip hop no matter who he went around, not obama, bloomberg or anyone else.
