Who Makes Better Hustling Music - 50 or Jay Z?

[blankstairz]

Two different vantage points.

50 raps/rapped from the perspective of someone who is active, in the hunt, on the block, on the grind....trying to reach it. When you on the block, you live for the moment. Tomorrow or the next minute isn't promised.

Jay raps/rapped from the perspective of someone passed that point, on solid ground from the byproduct of his labors. He not only reached it, but passed it. Reflective at times on past experiences, but not dwelling on the past.

Depends on what one finds more appealing.

Yeah and Jay Z was high up before he made music. Dude really made it in the drug game

So when he started rapping, that 'in the streets' shyt was already a distant memory

at asking a bunch of 9-5 geeks who don't hustle.

at them tryna give serious answers.

I mean 9-5 is a hustle too.

I used to bump Pac on the way to work like "Yo Im bout to make sandwiches for 9 fukking hours"

I think Hov lyrically but it’s closer than it should be for a nikka of Hovs ability. If 50 had kept on that type of rap after Hate it or love it, hustlers ambition, etc his reign on top would have been longer.he kept looking for in da club 2 tho

Jay makes songs for playboy hustlers who may have to pull the burner once in a while to prove a point.

Fif makes songs for street niccas who are more prone to murder, homocide, kidnap for revenge etc..

50 Cent is for guys who want to scrub the toilets faster with aggressive content in their wired SMS head phones.

Jay-z is for guys who tell those guys what to do because they run the business.

 

[Jimmy Two-Times™]

50 Cent makes you motivated to go get it in any context


I just found out about talking in codes

That's beautiful.

May Gawdfather bless your seeds.

Yeah, Jay was still street from a OG perspective instead of a YG like 50's approach.

going to work is hustling, you dumbass.

They both do their thing. Don't really have a preference for either.

Both approaches worked, but Jay's style had much better potential for his music career to continue to thrive. And it has.
