The time 50 Cent had the world in the palm of his hands

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

I remember when this cover came out and thinking this nikka a cheat code. Like at that time he coulda just breathed on something and it woulda went platinum.

There is no universality in hip hop anymore. I don’t think people understand what it was like being on a random city block and Every. Single. Car. Is playing his shyt.

The closest thing I’ve seen to this is when Pop’s album dropped last summer.

Every fukking car was playing it and still didn’t get close to the 50 buzz.

The album actually sold out in most music stores. You legitimately couldn’t find physical copies.

Massacre could've easily been his best album, but the first half of the album is Eminem's garbage production and bubble gum filler tracks. The 2nd half of Massacre is the best production I've heard in mainstream Hip Hop since Chronic 2001.









But the filler tracks were atrocious.
Apparently it's coz he gave so much heat to Game for documentary.

2006 had some awful tracks and 2007 Lil Wayne and that corny style rap got popular after Lollipop and the new generation kicked in and it was a wrap for us "old heads"

Massacre had some of his best songs


Im supposed to die tonight
Position of power
Gunz come out
Get in my car

 

[Kurt off them percs]

damn…y’all really have a fukked up way of making a nikka feel old

thinking out loud how old I was at the time hmm 28 or 29 depending on what month the album dropped

*edit*

and it just hit me GRODT is 18 y/o…everything past 2000 has been a fukking blur

I was in High school when it dropped and I feel old

There are only a few hip hip songs that everyone subconciously responds to from the first 3 notes. even non rap fans

Still Dre is one
California Love is another
In Da Club is another

 

[3rdWorld]

Massacre was his best album. He just had music for both of his crowds on it.

In da club is one of the only few songs in that 2000-2010 range that every single person on the planet knows….old 70 year old white women love that song

Only song I can think of from the same era that is that potent is Ignition Remix

 

[No Ma’am]

I remember I went to visit my granny and my cousin took me to bump this shyt and she was NOT happy


50 Caught up to puff and jay net worth in 2 years time. BaCk then they were all in the 150 million range . He had the game sewn up with video games, clothes, vitamin water. There was nothing this guy couldn't do

 

[Premeditated]

there hasn't been one rapper that has hit the game or had a peak as big as his since.

not even Drake or Wayne. neither of them has a song as big as "in the club"

 

[Denzel_Saucegton]

I remember first seeing Wanksta on MTV video of the week. Went to school and was asking people about it and one guy laughed his ass off. "50 cent on the mic y'all ..what kinda name is 50 cent" Then the wave hit...
