Thats what i figured too. Isnt that why 50 feels like Em is the saving grace for 50s career? I thought it was cuz he blew up under him and established himself. Not crediting Em to 50s success but im pretty sure 50 does

Nigs can claim that 50 had next all they want, but I literally remember hearing about him being shot on the radio in 2000 and literally NO ONE at my school knew who he was or even cared except for myself and my small group of backpacker/hiphop head friends who listened to unpopular shyt like Ali Vegas, Blackstarr, Chino XL etc etc.

Before Eminem he was simply known as the guy who dropped "how to rob", god dissed by Jay Z on VOL. 3 and then almost got shot to death for it, kind of a running joke.

50s career would be where Mysonnes and Gillie da kids is right now had Eminem never signed him


gillie is doing well & living good actually.

other labels wanted 50 by that point breh.

sidenote: 50 lowered his status in the long-run by signing under eminem. 50 is clearly the better artist and bigger within hip-hop than eminem, but the media will never acknowledge that.

:stopitslime: 50 would be dead/in jail by now if it wasn't for em, so I don't see what long-run you talking bout.

People dont seem to realize 50 was buzzing before he signed to Em and there was a bidding war as a result of that, but anyway.. neither 50 or DMX have anything to gain by doing that signing.. its like asking why the 76ers don't sign Steve Francis in 2014

I thought the time line was 50 signed to columbia records, he gets shot, columbia drops him.

He's hurt and blackballed, but when he recovers, he running around town taking meetings. He meets with puff but puff :whoa:when he sees all them nikkas with vests and guns. (maybe that was before he got shot)

nobody fukking with him till em hears his shyt, then all the other labels get interested cause em showed interest. That's when you got fukkboys like stoute saying "don't sign with the whiteboy"

the interest came from the mixtapes, which were HUGE.

i remember hearing about how huge 50 was in new york long before he signed to aftermath. and sure enough, those tapes started hittin here and even down south.

A :flabbynsick:record label whose CEO is :flabbynsick:and an artist who is :flabbynsick:is just doomed for failure.:heh:

Because he's an addict and unpredictable, no hate I love X but that is why 50 won't sign him. Now close the thread

55% of this

Why would u sign to a nikka who was broke and living in his grandmas crib when u dropped your first multi platinum selling LP in 1998?


Its the same reason why Nas ultimately decided not to sign to Murda Inc. Had Irv been Berry Gordy or someone he probably would have let that deal happen



U don't hustle backwards bruh

the reason no one (not just 50) will sign X is cos there is no money to be made

if there was $$$ in it, all these niccas would do it
