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

[SpacelySprockets]

People(especially on this site) equate ross surviving and thriving after everything as him "beating" 50 even tho we can go down a list of disrespectful shyt 50 did to him but cant say what exactly ross did within the actual beef that hurt 50, and I say this as somebody who thinks the swaggerless munkey rants were hilarious but it wasnt moving the needle like that.. and the baby mama suing happened years after the fact

even from a diss track perspective 50 got him, mafia music was a great song but only 1 bar out of that whole 4 minute song addressed 50 but nikkas on here act like it was "hit em up"

its like saying drake beat pusha because drake continued to succeed and pusha isnt doing anything noteworthy even tho pusha bodied him

its simply the fact that after all the Ls 50 handed him he managed to not go under and actually elevated through making successful commercial records while 50 personally struggled to maintain musical relevance, thats the only reason nikkas run with the "ross won" narrative

Ross saved his career by stepping up musically... I'll give credit where it's due.

He went back to drawing board and caught Lex Luger at the right time which resulted in BMF.

That led to him finding Meek and Wale which gave MMG a new start after the Triple C's album flopping.

The fun thing about almost all rap beef is whoever you think won is the winner. No one can prove you wrong.

50 handed Ross no musical L's though. If 50 struggled musically and Rick Ross thrived, who cares about the rest?

Ross bout to see a major L since he admitted drugging and spiking woman’s drinks

Ross won musically cause Drake did put him on his albums and songs, along with Jay-Z. Even Dr. Dre gave him an alley oop with a few songs. I’m wondering why Drake hasn’t made any music with 50 given he’s the legend. Ross is the Fat Joe of the modern day, never sold crazy amounts but kept afloat. His character also helped, he’s more likable and bullied the bully at his own game. Of course 50 got every demographic in his pocket, because that’s Eminem’s artist.

And more to the point, Ross thrived without Eminem, Dr. Dre, or Interscope. Ross was crwating dope music without super producers. In fact, his worst songs are produced by super producers.

No one wants to point out to those facts. Curtis stans are crabbish.

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

he literally had the better DISS tracks, since when is the winner of a beef/rap battle determined by who made better albums after the fact?

Man Hov and Diddy saved that boy Ross. Let’s not forget that

 

[BK The Great]

Don't let sales confuse anything, Ross has fans. Mike Tyson beside him. You can't deny his consistency.

Watch Curtis accidentally swipe at Beyonce for trying to get at Jay Z

 

[Wargames]

This is another beef I wish went to wax. Drop some bars already

Do people even remember those diss records from 50?
