Went from playing the perfect underdog to most hated heel that quickly,never seen anything like it. Even in wrestling it typically is a slow build
It is because his intentions were never pure. 50 wanted to be top c00n that wanted to wage war against other (talented) black men, but kiss white people's asses. DMX always gave back to charity, Pac stayed true to his Black Panther roots, 50 was none of these. He was a typical selfish hood dude that never wanted to change the status quo music wise, or social wise.
Even casual rap fans had enough when he went against Jada, Nas, Cam, Wu Tang, etc.
