50 Cent Vs Lil Wayne - What Happened? 

The only career 50 couldn't end..

I miss the good ole days when rappers competed and took pride in the art.

Wayne is smart. He didn't let 50 get into his head

Funny how kool and how much respect they got for each other today.

I’m a 50 fan but when Lil Wayne was having his run 50 was HATING HARD !!

50's heyday was '02-05. By 2006, Hip Hop was transitioning. By 2006 Kanye, Wayne, and T.I were on top. Summer 2007bwas all Wayne. Kanye was on fire too but his lane was a little different at the time. Wayne had the streets on lock on summer 2007. The anticipation for Carter 3 was monumental. There is nothing 50 could have done during '2006-2009" period. Wayne was damn near untouchable.

50 knew his label wasn't pushing his music anymore so to stay relevant in music he was using beef to get a buzz. Mixtape format helped both artist succeed. Marketing genius. Not real beef just smoke screen.

He mad that Wayne blew his ass out the water, from 06 thru 2010 Wayne was on everything

I like how Wayne handled it and never addressed 50 in public only in music. He never played into 50 bs like everybody else.. Got to give Wayne the win, if it really was beef but it wasn't no real beef tho.

50 is a marketing genius

My two favorite rappers of all time and both played a major part in my life and making me the person I am today I glad this beef didn’t turn out to be anything that serious

Crazy this all started because Wayne probably ain’t do a feature for 50 or something

I love these type of videos. You got a new subscriber.

this video has been put together soo well. Top vid

To see Drake and Nicki behind Wayne, knowing their future, makes me proud to have witness them blossom.

I love 50 but he was simply jealous of Wayne and didn't want Wayne to take his spot which is what happened when Carter 3 sold a million first week. I'm glad that the beef never turned serious.

I’m from Louisiana & Wayne ran the 2000’s be real 😂😂😂

Yall crazy acting like Wayne came up after 50. We been knowing about Wayne outside of Louisiana since 99

Nice stroll down memory lane. Great research on this.

50 Cent had the mixtape game on lock with all them remixes.

It was just competition when 50 presented the award to Lil Wayne at the B.E.T. Awards back in 2008 like passing of the torch

Wayne was in the game WAY BEFORE 50. They always had respect for one another

Yall gotta remember wayne hit us with the "Ggggggg yeah...hahaha" on the "Down and out" freestyle.

Crazy because Wayne was putting out mixtapes in 2001/2002 as well Sqad up. I still wanna know what 50 said in Wayne’s ear at the hip hop awards in 2008

Wayne style Is just unmatched

He said when he sang it, never rains in California😂😂😂😂 i’m crying😂😅😂😅😂😅

this channel is so dope yo

5o I Love you man for real keep it up

I Thought It Was Because Wayne Hopped On That Ja Rule Record "Uhh Ohh".... Y'all Know How 50 Get When You Work W/ Ja😂😂😂

With all due respect my friend I think the part in this video where 50 saying 'I'm deciding to fck yr life up' was the statement for Rick Ross or maybe for someone else not for Wayne..

That cream song is fire thank you frfr

That was just a small coworker beef that could've gone either way but it was kept professional.

The fact that the guy who made this said that Wayne was a upcoming rapper in the mid 2000s…. Wtf

i always tell people how much 50 would hate on wayne gilly the kid as well. but damn wayne got the last laugh .

1:17 It was 2003 - 2005 when 50 Cent was the biggest. T.I. took the top spot in 2006 and Lil Wayne was killing it with features. Kanye West was on top in 2007, plus he beat 50 Cent in their sales battle and Lil Wayne was still killing it with features that year too

It seems like they respected each other so much , that they were waiting for whoever to get disrespectful past point of no return.

They Never had beef. 50 use to open up for Cash Money. He studied the 48 Laws of Power. So if you’ve read to book you can see how he moves

50: “I invented mixtapes.” Chamillionaire: “Hold up.., what he say?”

I always looked at the beef starting from Wayne standing next to Ja in 07 when they did the "Uh Oh" track

I never heard these songs . Dope!

Coming for a spot that Wayne already had don’t get me wrong 50 was on fire when he came out but Wayne was already out dropping heat y’all forgetting Wayne was dropping mixtapes way before 07 if you a real Wayne fan you’ll know he started in 02

50 n Wayne definitely icons for the culture both are 🔥🔥🔥

Great 👍🏽

You know what’s funny , so many people don’t realize 50 has a big heart and a bigger memory… 50 was so damn big man… any mention from him and people paid attention to you more

I'd love to see you do some videos on some of 50s positive interactions with other artists. The story of Kidd Kidd getting shot after meeting 50 is a great one. His tribute to Coolio also. R.i.p. Also his relationship with PnB Rock and Jeremiah.

I didn't know they had beef in those years. I must've missed out on that one .

It’s sport and 50 loves beef to generate buzz. These two have spoken very respectfully about one another

Damn i never knew they were beefing!! You just cant beat wayne in anything hes gifted!

I am surprised 50 was not as aggressive towards Kanye afterall he is the one that stole his top spot on the boards.

Nice and clean beef in rap like a rapper With this 2 goat on their prime .

50 and Em at the time were obviously jealous of Wayne lol

Before this video I had no idea 50 had mixtapes. Wayne mixtapes were all we listened to in school.

50 was hating 😂 let’s bring this back up lol

I never knew or heard anything about this beef from what I seen they were always cool.

Rick ross and wayne the only two who ignored 50 and came back

Dat's crazy cause I listen to wayne & 50, back in tha day dey both was my favorite rappers. Back in nem days 50 did anything for attention n stole tha spot light frm anyone he could, Wayne was da best rapper alive n still is he can still rap, I believe he need to put out a few more albums no CAPP 💯.

These My Two Favorite Rappers🐐🐐

That gospel performance at the bet awards in 08 was directed at 50 cent too

I didn't even know 50 existed when hot boys was out. So how is he copying him on anything.

10:48 what’s that Wayne track in the background called again? Ain’t heard that in a min?

Good 🥩 well done !!

You forgot to mention the main reason 50 started takin shots at Wayne is cuz he did a song and video with Ja Rule like Fat Joe and Jada did

50 was feeling the heat. He's lucky he had Dre and Em backing him

Now 50 is doing voiceovers on collergrove 2. Glad it never got too serious and they can work together today.

This Is Funny😂

Wasn't Wayne music out before 50? Like the Hot Boy$?

Lil Wayne didn’t release “The Drought Is Over 6”. It was a leak tape put together by DJ Empire. All the songs were leaked already, and he put his tags and shit and put it out for free

Good video 💯

At the end of the "say what you say" song, is that timberland that said something?

Lil Wayne is smart for not making the beef serious with 50 otherwise his run would of Been short

50 the goat

The Mohawks line I think was directed at The Game.

People was doing mix tapes in New York way before 50.

When he asked how much did Wayne sell and the interviewer said 1 million , 50 aint had much to say after that

Wayne catalogs destroys 50 catalogue with only a few songs

Never knew this was a beef

Drake was like I ain't saying ish!!

I like both of them but Wayne is broke as soon as he can’t sell out a tour, he’s never been the boss and diversified he is a pure rapper. 50 used rap money to build empires outside rap.

I remember things looking like they were going to full on-beef. I would have liked to see that if they could have kept it lyrical. But oh well missed opportunity.

In Da Club reached now DIAMOND!!!!!! 10x Platinum ❤ RIP Weezy

50 took shots because Wayne did a song and video with ja rule during beef it started n took place on rap city the basement when 50 and g unit guest host show it never went anywhere tho

You can not judge rap, you can not judge beauty, just a

The og beef is crazy

If it wasn't for 50 cent street credit and him reinventing the mixtapes and making buzz in the streets and him signing with shady after em success of 8 mile movie and him reviving gangsta rap genre after dropping the diamond cd grodt that impact was huge if you think about it he is still the last big east coast rapper and in the time when the south rap was emerging and 50 cent was rapping with southern draw and signing young buck to g-unit it made the southern gangsta rapper like lil wayne more respected especially when wayne was the hottest gangsta rapper in the the south 2002 and it made lil wayne even hotter and lil wayne was rapping like new york guys like dipset and wearing like them and he taking the advantage of all that and then him saying he is the best rapper alive and then started the legendary mixtapes run with dropping the amazing album series tha carter series 1 and 2 and then kanye west beating 50 cent in the first week sales challenge after interscope leaking and bootleging the whole album with the videos months before that week and then the sound of the industry changed to be soft and then lil wayne dropping tha carter iii with the baby face cover like nas illmatic and biggie ready to die albums covers with the soft songs in the album after the hard songs get leaked in the internet and he lost his voice and then he forced to do the auto tune thing and him holding that cup of syrup to make people understand why he lost his voice and to make them understand why he is using ghostwriters because he can't feel his face and he is coming from the LGBT album like father like son and that album idea was taking from the game documentry album song like father like son and was taking from 8 mile b rabbit and future relationship and him doing dreads like future because some racist comments was made by people who watched 8 mile about his 2002 braided hair and birdman was bold like pac it doesn't get lucky more than that and doesn't get any better and am not saying he is not smart because he really is but it is worked for his way soo much after that he became the number 1 still till this day

I love both of them but I gota say WAYNE is BETTER than 50

I think the "beef" was more of who made more money rather than music itself.

50 cent: lil wayne copied my format Eminem: 50... stop talking about one of my favorite rappers. 50 cent: ok.....

Beef? Nah, just competition. Almost like passing of the guard.

50 sound Jealous and Keep Wayne is Mouth. Pause.

I don't care how you try to explain it, 50 can't compete with Wayne. And I don't listen to Wayne. But he's a beast. I just don't see it

Damn I never knew this shit lol wtf have I been in Hip Hop smh I’m still finding out new stuff

I never heard 50 with a mix tape I just know get rich or die trying album

Didn’t Wayne drop the Carter 2 and dedication 2 in 02?? How did 50 start the mixtape game

Wayne been #1 always been humble , Wayne had squad up mixtapes + was up before 50 became popular. Wayne has ran the game from 05’ to 11’ greatest rapper alive. Much respect to 50 but after get rich die tryin’ it was up for him musically. No comparison to Goat WAYNE. 50 a marketing genius so I understand him attempting to beef w/ Wayne

Gossip was also supposed to be a response to 50 Cent at the BET awards in 07

I had that song. 50 and Wayne and Cassidy my goats.

That second clip of 50 was about Rick Ross NOT wayne

Considering how 50 came into the game, we really shouldn’t call his jabs beef if they didn’t have street consequences.

The thing was that whole Drought is Over series was leaked by a DJ.

It's undeniable it was Wayne's time... but I'm always gonna be a 50 fan. I enjoyed some Wayne songs here and there but I never could get into the hype.. but the hype is undeniable.
