50 coulda split the Massacre in 2 pieces and ate off them shyts separately and survived. Dude has fought and won many a battle has also stumbled in the process because of all the dumb shyt is let himself get into. Prime example of when you need a crew of dude who arent scared to tell you "no" rather than be yes men just so they don't starve

That shyt is the reason you have all these suburban soft ass rappers today. That is the reason that you have the Drakes, Tyga, Kid Cudi etc. Had 50 won that sales battle on Sept.11 2007 the streets would be more represented in hiphop today. The record labels threw their money behind the suburban shyt once Kanye sold more records than Curtis. That shyt drastically changed the climate in hiphop. I think people bought the graduation album just to see 50 retire like he said he would if he lost the bet.

I remember Angie or Flex called up Hov early in the morning, nikka sounded as hell when he said "hello", but soon as he remembered the sales numbers he was like

If I could rep you I would. A lot of hip hop is wack as fukk today. I had to dig into soul music to avoid this era, but that's a good thing

If Fif won, You would have had 40 year old rappers hogging the spotlight

curtis sold more albums world wide...


before you say "who gives a fukk about ww sales"



the money stay the same but the country name change

Those Irish sales didn't help him from defaulting on his debts though

50 was just as much of a pop star as Kanye was at the time and Kanye had the better album

even had 50 sold more the shift was going to happen regardless... this iswas more of a case if another thing back firing for 50.... at that time I felt like kanye had no chance and felt his raps weree corny... but people ended up liking him.. and he's he is the reason we have drake today.

Why does age matter?

Kanye doing 800k was impressive with LR. But he also released a blockbuster album the year before and had a massive single at #1 on the charts. A very urban single with a man doing the same impression that won him Best Actors at the Oscars.

But doing 1m with a Euro inspired lead single up against Curtis changed everything from the labels perspective.

I disagree, however I have never seen anything like how drakes fan became delusional during the meek mill beef. Drake clearly lost the beef, but for some reason drakes stans convinced the world he did. How can you possibly say someone who was pissed on, punched in the face, and exposed with proof for having ghost writers won the beef? The only thing that happened to meek was corny meme's people made on twitter and corny jokes about "is it your girls tour" like meek isnt getting paid to perform on said tour smh
