No. But that’s why NY is the Mecca. He’d be top 5 if he was from the south.
shut up man
Gucci is a better lyricist than 50 tbh
yeah it’s just southern bias Gucci mane is ass if we talking about actual rapping and never spit a hot bar in his life
Who said anything bout Gucci
You think 50 is better than OutKast, UGK, Scarface, 8Ball & MJG? He had a southern rapper in g unit that consistently outrapped him
Scarface? No
Andre3000,? No
G-unit is way better than ugk and 8 ball and mjg I don’t give a f*** lmao
Scarface? No
Andre3000,? No
G-unit is way better than ugk and 8 ball and mjg I don’t give a f*** lmao
Guys from Buffalo are different

How you gonna use another nigga lying ass joke? You’re better than that

The sixth borough. Respect
Impact wise, he, Jay, and Biggie had the biggest impact bar none.
As a rapper and musician though, naaaaahhhh....way too much good talent in NY to put 50 on that level. He's a top 10 mixtape artist though.
the 50 to snoop comparison someone made in the other thread was apt but snoop had way better longevity as a musician
Yeah
50s a cornball and meme now but people act like he never had bars lol
He had bars but he fs dumbed himself down to go commercial, I go back and listen to Fifty and you can hear when he was phoning it in. Even he would talk on the old g unit mixtapes he wasn’t tryna “rap all night”.
It’s a lot of niggas in OP that could out bar Fifty.
every member of wu tang is better than 50?
lol
50 is a top 10 nyc act based off impact alone
It’s a couple niggas in the Wu that have a strong case to oust Fifty as Top 10 strictly as rappers
No one in the hood wanted to be Nas or ATCQ
Everyone wanted to be 50
Suburbans
Nigga you from Texas or some s***. You ain’t never even been on Troy ave. By the time Fif and G Unit blew up yeah Nas was on his God Body but when he first Camelot he def was influential. And Tribe had big records In hip hop, the hood ain’t a monolith, they were big wit the Afrocentric movement in the black community of NYC at the time
Legacy wise I can’t front on Fif but if I’m thinking of straight rap, it’s the rappers I can put over Fifty. But you can’t tell the story of NYC hip hop without him
mfs living in polish villages know who 50 cent is
Who gives a f*** what a polish guy thinks of hiphop
Should've made a thread about whether he is top 5 because there is an actual discussion there. Top 10 without a doubt
yes lol
This could’ve been in the 50 appreciation thread, because you’re talking about his lyrical abilities
