Lowkey, 50 needs to thank Ja for his career poppin off the way it did.

He dissed Ja at the right time when ppl were getting tired of him.

People didn't get "tired" of Ja... They just followed the bandwagon and hopped on the latest trend. 2002 he was still pumping out hits. 2003 was just 50's year.

It’s crazy how his music didn’t age well at all. Listening to die hard tracks got me like

I've never seen in real time an artist explode like how he did, even people in some rural areas where I'm from knew him or of him and this was way before the internet, even more amazing, older people who did not know what hip hop was knew him too. This was when dancehall and reggae and local music had a big chokehold on us and he crushed everything just like that.

Other than him, Pac was the other mythical figure to a lot of people but I wasn't present to witness what it was like.

…and this was way before the internet

no it wasn’t.

granted social media wasn’t what it is now so maybe that’s what you were trying to express

but the internet was definitely a presence (in music too) by that time

Where I'm from, less than 20% of the population had mobile phones at that time leave alone the internet. It was radio play and crazy mythological stories which spread by word of mouth amongst his target audience to other parties that gave him that boost. Information then was scarce, which is a double edged sword in entertainment.
