I see where OP comes from but he also shows lack of knowledge when saying 50s success was luck

Going from being industry blackballed what he became in 2 years is an amazing feat with a lot of hustling and hard work

I remember all of that, the original run, the buzz but bottom line he wasn't known at all outside of hiphop circles and stumbled across the best launch single of all time.

Without that he would probably be Fabolous level.

Which is successful, a few good albums but not world famous.

Nah they was playing 50 shot ya on the radio like it was a single. First time I ever heard mixtape songs on the radio. In da club was cool but he could've put out anything n it would've went. The buzz was that crazy. I was there n im talking bout ny. N he jus finished getting shot up and black balled while still waring wit nikkas in his hood. 50s luck stopped at surviving 9 shots keeping his voice and limbs in tact. Everything else was str8 hustle n being clever.


This thread is some hater shyt. Only way this list is valid is if u put str8 weed carriers or ig viral rappers. Nobody makes it that far as the nikkas u talking about wit out some type of grind involved.


50 was gonna blow regardless
He had a huge following
The streets was going nuts long before in the club
Being from Queens, I remember whenever he came out with a song, it was like an event

I don't think he gets as big if he isn't marketed as the first artist signed to ROC nation.

Drake- Dude was 4th lead on a teenage television drama where he was continually sonned and disrespected every single season. NOTHING about this dude screamed rap star. He got the right production team and the right Ghostwriters and blew ALL THE WAY up

RZA- the only reason I say this is because that nikka took NINE OTHER project nikkas, some who didn’t even like each other, and made them all International Superstars. I think people forget how absolutely amazing that is. Seriously, RZA is a talented brother, one of the greatest producers of all time, but he had God, Buddha, AND Allah on his side when he formed Wu-Tang.

Eminem- that white Boy should wake up every single morning praying to a Dr Dre portrait, cause that Co-sign let him pretty much take over Hip Hop for a period
