Game sold 4-5 million without ever knowing how to write a song

Buck went platinum after Juvey’s tour bus leaving him

Banks went double out of the gate and gold on his own merits with a comeback record

Don’t confuse 50 being one of the bigger artists ever with what the nikkax he brought along should’ve been
Not really a fair assessment because they were all talented in their own right and there was a reason why 50 picked them to begin with. Obviously they wouldn’t be shyt without 50’s co-sign, but had they all made better moves as a whole they could have and should have had better careers than they had.

Drake was a degrassi reject with no motion musically before the peak Wayne co-sign, Nicki was a chick rapping on dvds with no buzz before the peak Wayne co-sign, now there’s a whole generation that looks at them as goats, because they played their cards right after the initial lob Wayne threw them, unlike g unit members with the 50 lob

I’m not worried about anything aside from how it played out. There were plenty of talented nikkax who would post videos on Worldstar. Them guys were lucky and that’s ok

I’m just saying you can’t use “they lucked into their situation” to downplay how big they could’ve been because you could apply that exact same logic to several people who ended up becoming superstars. They weren’t run of the mill interchangeable tomato cans that 50 picked up off the street and made stars, they were talented people with their own unique qualities that attracted 50 to them to begin with, that’s why he chose Banks over Domination and Buck over Wacko & Skip, some people just need the right opportunity situation and that’s fine. Snoop lucked into being friends with Dr. Dre’s step brother, we see how that turned out
