You might be talking bout DRE, Puffy or PAC easily... How far you wanna go before you change the rules?
everyone always talks about dre and puff not writing their own rhymes.. but Kanye is the reason no one cares about drake not writing his own rhymes. he made it ok to these 90s babies.

all those things I named have been done before, Kanye is the one that made it acceptable within hiphop. he is why young thug exists. he is why these fakkits get a pass in hip hop now. this fruit cake was crying about leather jogging pants, and having his manboob hanging out at a fashion show, with a known industry smut as his baby mother. :pachaha:

50 Cent's career (Musically) was never the same after that day.

I remember 50 kept saying if Kanye out sold him he was going to retire
and a female reporter was interviewing him (After the album sales turn out was released)
50 looked so depressive and defeated on that day, his soul was taken he was never the same.

I wish I could find the video.......

Isn't trap rap gangster rap? They talking about some gangster shyt. Trap shyt is G shyt


but oh ya, a lot of these trap rappers act and dress like fakkits, so its hard to remember they actually are gangster rappers

and the only people who enjoy articles like this are cacs who idolize soft rappers. A cac writing an article about how he saw Ye perform at some hipster party and somehow this is vital hip hop journalism:yeshrug:

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...

I think a lot of 50 Cent's music is very bland right now, but that the 2007 sales battle paved for the Drake ghostwriters issue we have today. In 2007, regardless of the fact he was Curtis "Interscope" Jackson, you had 50 Cent, a rapper once blackballed, from the streets, who lived the life he talked about, so "real" in hip hop terms and wrote all of his own shyt lose out to a guy who had an entire team of writers. And the public celebrated heavy, and did not care about anything other than "the music". Okay. A lot has happened since then, but when a timeline of hip hop's fall is made in the future, there will be a big star in 2007 when people overlooked Kanye's writers, in 2009 with Ross' CO exposal that was overlooked and in 2015 with Drake's ghost writers being overlooked. I hope y'all see the pattern, it's getting worse what is being overlooked. I hope y'all see that maybe by a 2020, 2025, 2030...who the fukk knows, that there literally could be maybe,a transsexual white rapper who's fits an image someone in charge wants to promote and is doing no work but is just a voice being the man/woman(?) runnin the game. And people then will overlook that as well, cause shyt, you know, shyt bumps in the club, and bytches love it, so if you don't, you get no p*ssy!

shyt never gets better boys. When a pattern is made, good luck trying to shift it. Look at Rock Music and how it was taken away from the ones who created it....Black people. It started with little steps, a dip and then the shift. But nah, think of this as some conspiracy or paranoia, it ain't. I can live without music cause I'll be married soon and have kids soon, but there will be a lot of y'all complaining in due time. And others, like now, tagging along trying to fit in cause it's better to be "winning" than understanding.

But at the same time, @Kunta is a dude from Canada who loves Kanye and Drake, two of the biggest fakes in the game...but apparently 50's life and music was a facade.

You know nothing of me. Personal attacks will get you nowhere

I was playing 50 cent music before he got shot. Y'all came because of the hype. Jig been up tho. Curly sold wolf tickets and the game cashed out on him. Hence his decline. Kanye and team make better music

His album was better than 50's. Agreed. I'm a fan of Kanye and 50 Cent's music. What I said though was the truth, accepting Kanye's "team" and ignoring WHERE the music was coming from paved the way for a lot of todays shyt to happen.

And there was absolutely no attack on you, calm the fukk down. No attack at all.

Dad undap... The day Kanye broke hip hop free from fake thugging and aggressive content to everyday people music.

Pffft. At everyday people. Good producer, but set the bar pretty low for his raps

50 had so many soft radio joints, I wouldn't even consider him a gangster rapper. Prior to 50 ja rule was doing duets with Ashanti and j lo. Nelly back than was doing numbers with pop joints. Fab doing soft joints. Jay-z was doing soft joints for radio as well.

Gangster rap was fading long before Kanye. People give him way to much credit
