Who has the stronger discography, Gucci or 50?

Man please... The only people who voted for 50 are south haters... Nobody listens to that weak ass 50 cent shyt.

Tell me when 50 cent drops some classic shyt like this.

Absolutely. 50 rhymes with far more charisma and passion than Gucci. And his beats are more beautiful.

I can't believe I'm having this discussion. I thought this was obvious.

"Many Men" is some inspiring shyt. The whole album is full of that survival-at-all-costs spirit. The idea that you can knock someone down, but you can't knock em out if he/she doesn't wanna go out. I know that was a big part of 50's branding, but in this case, it was conveyed beautifully in the music.

I sit back, twist the best bud, burn and wonder
When gangstas bump my shyt, can they hear my hunger?!

That line, and especially the way 50 delivers it on that beat, is better than Gucci's entire discography. That's art. It has a theme. It makes you feel something.

The fukk does Gucci inspire anyone to do/feel? Where's the passion in Gucci's music? When he has ever released anything inspirational?

I've been trying up until now to take your arguments seriously, but it's as though you're determined to direct attention away from the question I asked to find other ways to support your claim.

You ask whether people draw any kind of inspiration from Gucci's music, they do. I can infer from this post also that you think Gucci's music lacks artistic value, a claim you've failed to support in any kind of way (you've even gone as far as saying you haven't heard most of his music).

But most importantly, if you strip away all the hyperbole from your posts, all the exaggerated claims like "I can't believe I'm having this discussion" when the forum is clearly not as decided on this matter as you might like to think, you're left with no support to your claims. You didn't even entertain my comment on how 50's music has seen a decline in quality, while Gucci's has seen a rise.

Can you please restate your question?

You ask whether people draw any kind of inspiration from Gucci's music, they do.

and what would that be? Haven't seen anyone post anything that would be called 'inspirational' on any level, nor provided any kind of analysis of a Gucci record to demonstrate their point.

On the other hand, I have provided analysis of some 50 joints with specific examples.

I can infer from this post also that you think Gucci's music lacks artistic value,

You're right.

a claim you've failed to support in any kind of way (you've even gone as far as saying you haven't heard most of his music).

His catalogue is not diverse. Not diverse in sound nor in theme. The dude releases the same music day in day out. I've been up on Gucci for years now. Every one of the songs I've heard carry the same vibe and attitude.

He makes it real easy for me to not have to hear most of his music.

This isn't like when people diss Lil B and haven't heard his music. Because Lil B actually has songs like "Open Thunder Eternal Slumber" or "February's Confessions" or other lyrical tracks that aren't 'dumb' shyt.

Where are such Gucci records? If so, please point them out to me.

But most importantly, if you strip away all the hyperbole from your posts, all the exaggerated claims like "I can't believe I'm having this discussion" when the forum is clearly not as decided on this matter as you might like to think, you're left with no support to your claims.

Because it's fukking irrelevant.

Gucci has never, and will never, even come close to 50 at his best. And I'm not even talking about record sales. I'm saying: artistic heights. People still play 50's music WORLDWIDE. When people have birthdays and they're partying, they throw on "In Da Club". "Wanksta" is part of hip hop lexicon like "stan", though not used as often because modern hip hop is less wanksta, more stan. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Gucci is a regional/niche artist with zero cultural hits. To pretend like it's close is ludicrous.
