E-40's last 2 hits was bigger than anything 50 dropped since "I get money"






Neither of those tracks even cracked the hot 100, first one hasn't even hit 500,000 views. In what world are they bigger than any of the singles people considered a flop for 50? "My Life" and "We Up" were both bigger songs, and they weren't even big.

You gotta be from the Bay breh.

Start a thread asking whose hotter between 40 and 50 and you'll be surprised who wins the poll.

I could care less about a poll breh, some cats even tried to say E-40 was bigger than Jay Z lol. Only thing you can really base relevancy off is sales and chart numbers.

I definitely respect E-40's grind and he's always been smart in that way, but all this "hot in the streets / clubs" is just steam without concrete numbers behind it.

40 is hotter on the streets and clubs and radio tho fam. 50 still has a larger international fanbase but you're more likely to hear a car passing by bumping E-40 than 50 these days.

The Bravehearts :what::what::what:

Its clear u a hater mehn :snoop:

Fif beef wif murda inc was real street beef. He went at Jada and Joe cuz they wanted to stand with Ja. If u from the street u know how that goes. Dipset.....he neva beefed with Dipset. Cam started that shyt and Fif ended it.

Quit hating modafuka :pacspit:

I ain't hating :umad:

I'm just stating how Fif divided NY to the point where the south took over with ease and forever changed the rap game, and eventually, ending street rap in the mainstream level. Fif let that bullshyt street mentality fukk with his music and fukked it up for everyone. He took more food away from talented MCs than the people he fed. He the rap Robert Mugabe.

Murda Inc was deeper than rap and them nikkas were making bubble gum music anyway, Cam started that beef with 50, Nas started that beef with 50.

I never see people who say this talk about all the artists out of New York he put on, he gave Mobb Deep their highest charting single and also had MOP on the radio for the first time in a good 5 years. Where are all the NY rappers Jay Z put on and why do people never talk about the beefs he had with NY rappers?


Nah, Fif called out Nas on "Gangsta shyt" for the I Can single that Nas had back in late 2002/ early 2003. On top of Fif dissing his ex-wife Kelis.

But Fif fed a few people and took out food on a lot more people's mouths. He dropped everyone from G-Unit and left them in the cold. shyt, at least Jigga had people like Beans give them a record label and clothing line.

He went at Vivica for much less, but let this sixty year old looking white bytch clown him in public . I don't even know what he would do if Jimmy was a black exec.

Fif a c00n. He is scared of dissing any white person and basically :manny: @ them calling him out. He a crab-ass nikka.

In conjunction with Eminem’s Shady Records and Dr. Dre’s Aftermath label, Interscope will continue to release and market 50’s lucrative back catalogue, including his 2003 multiplatinum opus, Get Rich or Die Tryin’.

Even if he'd gave them the last album they'd still have the right to distribute all the material released by him under that label breh. He's still under Universal.. What album do most anniversary/best of re-releases come out on? The originals label they were released on..
