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

Y'all nikkas saying Ross won is crazy. Not only did he put the beats on Gunplay, he went to Khaled's mother's job with French filming, he was around his son and exposed his baby mother. Even exposed him as a damn C.O. who lied about his raps. Cmon y'all, Ross just wasn't a factor enough for people to care but that would have ended most rappers. He was able to fly by the radar because he was mid tier and rap was changing, less about authenticity.

Ross never seen the heights of TI and Jeezy and if he did his moment was much shorter than theirs.

That all good but this is rap and not street wars. Ross still had deeper than rap going heavy then followed up with teflon don. What 50 was doing didn’t stop them hits Ross made.

I will say, had it happened in this era then Ross would not have survived the embarrassment.

Yeah it was about the era, Ross was able to skate by but he is full of shyt. Also I look at rap beef as street wars personally because that always played a factor to me. If nikkas beat up your mans, was around your kids and you did nothing, you are a bytch. His records is all lies and at the time 50's career was sabotaged due to falling out with Dr. Dre.

50 did arguably the most disrespectful chit in hip hop history to Ross by having his son around. Only for Ross to comeback and lie talkin bout him and 50 bm got something coming.

50 showed them niccas they can be touched and made Ross break character being scarred.


Ross best friend gets his ass beat and robbed.


But people saying Ross won because he made better music :mjtf:

the year is now 2023 and Ross is worth hundreds of millions to date

50 is only worth 40 million

Ross won. the end.

One we don’t know any artist true networth but to say “ONLY worth 40 million” is an egregious as statement.

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.

Chingy vs Nelly was more interesting than this.

Breh, ya trying to hard now. I worked for G Unit as a sound engineer before my current role at TMWRK, I was a 17 year old who just needed a shot, 50 gave me one, via the shadyville nikkas, youtube G classics the 50 tape, my first project. Then tell me again how 50 ain't helping black people again. You won't, doesn't fit ya lies, you get dap from the clown who claims Footlocker is the best sneaker spot in bk and is a known racist.

:hubie:

Didn't know I was talking to an informant of a COINTELPRO rapper. Your crew runs deeps and infiltrates black spaces. Sad that you cannot think for yourself.

50 won the War
Ross may have won a few battles mainly by being more popular at music at a certain period of time but the amount of disrespect Curtis did to Ross makes it a lopsided war. And now 50 is clearly running a victory lap

How did he win the war? He has less money than ross. He actually lost money going at ross. He was scared to drop an album and when he did ross outsold him 2wice in one year. He failed at ending ross’ career even tho ross was fresh off of being exposed as a C.O. Ross became more famous and even richer. What war did he win? Lol
