brehs, by the time the Massacre came, me and a few of the fam were saying 50 cent is garbage. only song that was hot was get in my car, and maybe the piggy bank song was funny
all the singles were ass. 9th grade, i remember i would switch the station every single time. repetitive formula, every sing track.
I had a 50 cent and Triple H fatigue in 04-05
and yes, T.I was THAT dude from that era and had a higher status and respect in the game from that era and moving forward
now that i think about it, he was the only rapper that debuted in the mid 00s where i follow their music from 8th grade(Trap Musik) through 12th grade(Paper Trail). atleast mainstream wise. i was mostly into my regional shyt
