Did Rick Ross Actually Win His Beef With 50 Cent in Hindsight, or Are We Witnessing More Revisionist History?

[Low End Derrick]

Been seeing some discourse regarding the recent back and forth between them, and seen a lot of clips resurfacing with people claiming Ross actually took a bunch of L's:







What you guys think?

1) Rick Ross won when 50 was complaining about Dre not mixing his songs. Meanwhile, Dre bought Ross a watch for his birthday and did "3 Kings" with Ross and Jay.

2) When 50's BISD and Ross's Deeper Than Rap did about the same numbers. 50 was a multi-platinum rapper with a diamond album. How do you flop with Dre produced singles, an Em feature, and a single featuring Ne-Yo in 2009?

Rick Ross dropped over 10 more years of music and opened a successful franchise (Wing Stop)

Curtis faded away and had to modernize the image of Tupac in a Business Suit, with a show called "Power" that was a last-ditch effort to keep his name in the media.

They never traded songs....so the beef is who did the most disrespect acts with no retaliation.

Ross will forever look at his son knowing he was under the watch of 50 and taken shopping.

Gunplay was tossed around like a Rag doll at 50 request.

Ross is now being linked to puff on some rape shyt and pushed to the media by 50

50 won the beef

 

[No Hook]

50 said he was gonna end Ross career and he didn't

50 made Ross more popular by even going back and forth with him

Ross won in the end

 

[Will Ross]

Nope 50 lost

 

[Silkk]

He won then. Not just in hindsight. Ross was hotter musically.


And im a 50 > Ross guy but thats the one feud where a dude came out better after with fif.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Ross had $0.50 scared to drop an album, 50 lost money by leaking Ross’ baby mother’s sextape.

 

[thaKEAF]

He definitely won. If it wasn’t for Power 50 would be done for.

Ross clowned him like no one had before, had a nice run as a hotter rapper and business wise seems to be doing better still.

50s album leaked over a month before release. I'm pretty sure no major label album has done that since.

If we're being real, general public didn't care about this beef. It was some worldstar shyt. 50's popularity was waning. Rick Ross has never been that guy.

2010-2012, Rick Ross was that guy. He was never a commercial juggernaut, but during that period, Ross was one of the more popular rappers out. Even had Wale with a bigger album on MMG than he had on Interscope. There were hit songs off of a throwaway compilation album in "That Way" and "I'm A Boss". Ross had hit songs that were mixtape joints and a few of them didn't even make an album. He was a sought after feature.

please tell me you don't think Ross started wing stop

 

[Redwing80]

50 still has that MMG chain

 

[Mac Ten]

50 won the war...

Ross still didn't see 50 over that shyt with his kids at Mayweather's house.

He didn't even avenge Gunplay getting his azz beat either. If anything, Ross should have confronted 50 like a man.

50 crossed the line and all Ross could do is talk tough online so lost off that alone.

Cats must have amnesia or something because prior to 2010, nighas were clowning Ross.
