Question : If 50 died after GRODT would he be revered to the level of Tupac and Notorious BIG ?

[hex]

Any rapper (or celebrity for that matter, in any field) that died at that level of fame would be revered on that level. Which is silly IMO but it's human nature.

Fred.

truth is... only 00’s type of nikkaz would even bring this nonsense up

GRODT was an incredible classic body of work
with that said... it has LIL TO NONE importance to hip hop history / legacy

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

His music's not as timeless/versatile as Pac's.That's like saying Peabo Bryson would've overshadowed Marvin Gaye.

He didn't resonate on that soulful level or tap into human pathos like Pac.You're dealing with a different sphere of consciousness.

50 was mega at the time, but his music's always been low frequency.The substance wasn't there.Typical "Macho azzhole" music

for the most part.

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

Nah there's levels. You see even biggie admiration is no where near pac level. Nobody is gonna be pac level

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Let’s be real

He was a gimmick, the music didn’t age well he was not as talented as Big and Pac, wasn’t around long enough, wasn’t involved in a coastal war involving shootings, robberies, gang wars, etc

The fact that nobody listens to 50 Cent now just kinda proves the point, he’s physically here but musicallly dead for 13+ years

bars were light on GRODT.

every song was fire

 

[Big Mel]

every song was fire

PIMP & Bloodhound are trash off top.

 

[Nintendough]

50 would have instantly became the GOAT.

 

[JayBaldacci]

LOL... the early 2000s. It's possible that would have happened because of the popularity in real time... after while fans would have noticed the album isn't all that.

Like My Style

 

[Will Ross]

Nope he was too new of an artist at times for it to have a real impact.

 

[Phantom Dreamer]

absolutely

grodt is better than any biggie or tupac album thats a facttttt cut it out

 

[Methodical]

No.

Think about it......why didn't you make the thread about...

If Snoop died after Doggstyle?

Or

If DMX died after It's Dark and Hell is Hot?

 

[Finesse]

Nobody in hip hop has reached 50s Apex. That shyt was bananas.

Movies, sneakers, clothes, video games, multi million dollar sport drink endorsements, whole team went platinum, etc.

Nobody not even Drake. The closest we have ever seen reach that level was Pac.

I wonder if a new artist can ever hit that level and beyond again in the present day landsacpe n future
