Great day because by then it was just a mutilated corps getting dragged around and the shock value had long worn off. 50 cent was the last nikka to scare white America into buying records then his novelty wore off... Where were we going to go after a dude supposedly shot 9 times using that to propelled himself to fame?

It was the end of the road. Woodface was the last fake warrior to shine. A perpetual victim by all accounts who spun his tale of loosing into riches and fame... But then the facade faded and it was the last straw, CAC America saw that goofy negro for what he was and rode with Yeezy. A regular nikka who don't have to tell exaggerated tales to entertain. The end.

Shout out to the real originators of gangster rap and rest in piss to the goofy clowns who beat it to death while driving in armored cars with cop escorts...

Oh lawdy I love these nostalgia threads.

A lot of people forget that these were 3rd albums for both artists. Power of the Dollar doesn't count.

Get Rich or Die Tryin' and Massacre vs. The College Dropout and Late Registration. Close battles those are 4 dope ass albums.

Kanye won the battle and war :yeshrug:

Dad undap... The day Kanye broke hip hop free from fake thugging and aggressive content to everyday people music.
or was it the day Kanye made it ok, to NOT write your own rhymes.. wear feminine clothes, act like a female, marry whores, and be a self-indulgent fashion designer.

In hindsight the whole thing was genius marketing ploy and it paid off in the end (for Kanye at least).

Yeah, but even though he "lost" it helped 50 too. People forget how hard he was struggling to gain traction for that album before he dropped I Get Money and then the sales battle promotion started. Dude released like 3 or 4 singles that flopped, and it looked like he was about to catch a brick with Curtis. Without that sales battle hype 50 would have sold significantly less albums then he did. That battle gave him some much needed publicity, and made people forget about those initial horrible singles he released.
