Who Had a Better 2005 Jeezy or 50?

[TheJet]

Ja Rule should've had 2001 instead of Jay.

 

[VBM]

“Notorious Thugs” had Biggie rhyming in a then-shocking doubletime flow and besting Bone Thugs-n-Harmony at their own game.

 

[Still Benefited]

I remember Jeezy,maybe cuz 50 had already been so big it just felt like he wuz on the decline compared to where he had been.

 

[Alexander The Great]

Jeezy by a mile

50 was status by 2005

Nah but for real looking back 2005 was a pretty decent year
*patiently waits for purists to clown my azz*

EDIT: Anyways 50 had the better year

 

[ROFL_GUY]

I couldn't tell you because I didn't buy either album. I bought Late Registration, Demon Days, and The Documentary.

I didn't give a fukk about 50. The Massacre was a let down from start to finish and so was the terrible soundtrack to his terrible movie.

another confused kitten

50 was status by 2005

[T-K-G]

You're a fukking idiot. The Documentary was 10 times the album The Massacre was. That's probably why 50 dropped Game because he actually put a better album than he did in 05. Jealously is female trait. Fans seemed to have been disappointed with The Massacre too since none of his solo albums have reached number one since then and have been gradually declining.

I'm reading this list that Complex made.. its the best rapper every year since 79 and I was agreeing with it for the most part.. I disagreed with 1999, they said Jay-Z owned it. Then I'm stuck at 2005, Jeezy was crazy in 2005 but didn't 50 Cent have that year? 50 dropped The Massacre, moved 1.14 million copies the first week and got nominated for a grammy (Which he should've won). This is why I see him as owner of 2005..
Single: Disco Inferno - #3 on Billboard Hot 100
Single: Candy Shop #1 on Billboard Hot 100, #1 in 5 different countries, US Platinum, Germany Gold, Australia Platinum, On the Decade end chart 00-09 it ended up at #52 ,
Single: Just a Lil Bit - #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, US Platinum, Australia Gold
Single: Outta Control remix - #6 Billboard Hot 100
"The Massacre" went 5x Platinum in the US, and it was certified Gold or higher in 13 other countries.
Tony Yayo's "Thoughts Of a Predicate Felon" went gold, released in August 2005.
Single: So Seductive ft 50 Cent - [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=4]#4 8[/URL] WHILE Tony was under house arrest.
The Game - The Documentary, 2x Platinum.
Single: Hate It Or Love It ft 50 Cent - #2 US Billboard Hot 100, US Gold

Soundtrack: The Get Rich or Die Tryin soundtrack, peaked at #1 on the Hot 100, it sold a million copies in the U.S. in a month. Its now certified 3x platinum
I mean who the fukk is doing lists over at Complex. 50 SOOOO owned 2005 idc, look at everything I listed. Jeezy wasn't touching that in 05'

thats a pretty impressive list for one year though....honestly cant argue against this

jeezy did have shyt on lock......just not like 50 that year

 

[Bigbigguy]

Why is this even up for discussion 05 was 50's peak

 

[cam_e_ron50]

Revisionists doin their damndest to hate on 50. Yea Jeezy broke through and had a great year and dropped a GREAT album, but 50 owned that year, and the OP proved it. Dropped a multi-plat cd, numerous hits, put out two projects by his own artists that charted well, and a soundtrack that went multi-plat, as well as a movie. no one is touching that. and i dont get the hate the massacre gets. Really. Ppl forget that album had cuts like:
Im supposed to die tonight
this is 50
outta control
ski mask way
baltimore love thing
ryder musik
guns come out
position of power
hate it or love it remix
i dont need em

like got damn. we lucky to get a cd with half that much heat today. give 50 his props where its due

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Objectively 50 was the biggest shyt going that year...but they try to spread the shyt around...they wanted to give Jeezy his shine since 50 already was named

 

[SubLyminalz]

In terms of popularity & owning the air waves it went

50 > kanye > game> jeezy

nobody cared about ''and then what'' and ''my hood'' lol

If we considering quality 50 gets dropped to last but then kanye & game still ahead of jeezy.
