if Fif had done more Hate it or love /hustlers ambition style work, he would be there but amusement park/candy shop style ish ruined his run for very top consideration,
He will always be a GOAT (not THE goat but he def a legend in the game no doubt) for mixtape run, GRODT, Fukkery and that first impact but then he ran out. Not because of the beefs etc but coz he was always hunting to recreate in da club and that first run so he became cookie cutter.
And 50 isn’t like a Nas or Even if we go his own crew, Banks, who LOVES hip hop. He used it to get rich. When the fire left, so did the run. He got lucky with I get money and he will still drop another dope track one day, that big richtown and I’m the man etc after the run ended show he can still do it and when his vault opens the hip hop world will get some gems.
But as an MC he couldn’t see BIG and as a poet/speaking on social issues nikka he couldn’t see PAC. Doesn’t take anything away from his run or what he’s done. It’s legandary.
