DID 50 CENT MAKE US LIKE THE GAME??? WHAT MAKES RAPPERS SELL??? 

Wanksta is on 8 mile soundtrack

@@_michaelfaith After the fact bro, Wanksta was bubbling in NY before that. just like "you not like me" was on Get Rich

Right ✅

@@FreezoneDuo facts

50 was definitely bubbling in the streets in ny pre shady deal.. I can't say about anywhere else but locally he was buzzing heavy, that shady deal is what pushed him into the stratosphere though.. that shit was like strapping a missile to the g unit movement shit was up once that shit was announced.

Idk nothing about Wayne's mom besides her name he say on records. Idc about the rappers story all the time. I loved 50 for his music and Wayne for his music. I wasn't interested in Wayne's story though I became a fanatic. When I was a fanatic of 50 I cared about his story because the sh#t was interesting nothing more nothing less. So Math wrong ppl love the rappers for their talent not their story. If they have a story it does make ppl more invested especially if they can relate. I grew up uptown of DC 31, female, I don't relate to 50 being a drug dealer getting shot or nothing he went thru, I enjoyed his story after I fell in love with his music. His story only made me more invested as I bought his Book From Pieces to Weight. He had some funny stories in there too. Story is second, music first. Period. You ain't talented I ain't listening to you.

@@pennyproud1621 so why this long ass comment bro

But in the 80’s it was a lot of people on crack. It was the new thing and alotta people was trying it. Functional and dysfunctional. It was half like smoking weed

Dam you can't say he killed anyone what happened to innocent until proven guilty

Um how u kno

Hotrod was a copy paste 50 man had a dre beat and a Mary J Blige hook and 50 cosign at his peak mans wasn't going nowhere

Hot Rod made my brother Jerrod nickname look real bad for a while he changed it to Rexx cause Hot Rod was so Garbage.

Lol smh 🤣 i think it was because of all the other signings 50 made the year before,and by the time they tried pushing him it just was bad timing or unfortunate situation.

Nobody in az was bumping Hot Rod

Yeah he got with Dre they could’ve gain any traction with him so they put him with gunit because jimmy iovine told Dre either find something to do with him or drop him from the label that’s how he ended up with fif

What Else You Think

@Math hofa : Let's not forget...Game is dumb nice.....he can rap rap...he's an emcee! Dre had him signed to Aftermath and couldn't get a record on him! Dre had him on the shelf. 50 Cent came and put him down with the G-Unit and officially had him signed to the label 2 months later!

But Dre has given the same platform for alot of artists that didn't even blow , Slim the Monster and alot of cats

It's definitely 50 Cent at the time. I'm from LA and rode school bus every weekday. When we heard How We Do and Hate It or Love It, we thought it was a new 50 Cent joint. You heard Fifty first on those records for a reason. Game bit the hand that fed him.

Game was the only reason I would listen to anything gunit haha

And Fifty got his fan stimulus from Em and Dre. His potential before them was shelved albums.

Agree n 💯💯💯...underrated catalog

facts

It may make you want to hear something from them but if there music is trash then you ain't rocking with him/her......

Exactly what I was thinking when these guys were talking… the story is important for longevity. What eminem fan doesn’t know about his back story?

It's not about a story man period........

@@lo-k3ydapoet327 READ A BOOK NIGGA!!!

He was focused developing his artist and other business ventures.

The shit that happened to ppl before they became Rap famous....means nothing

Ludacris ????

@@jamaaldavis7907 commercials and mixtapes. He has a somewhat cool frienship with luda.

Exactly!!!

I think you got it backwards

I didn’t care one bit about 50 story, even back then cus i was used to hearing about niggas getting popped, he wasnt the first nigga who got shot a bunch of time, i was a fan of his music and how hot them mixtapes were before he got with em

It also proves 50 Cent wasn’t a snitch cuz 50 Cent knows who shot him and who ordered the hit. If 50 Cent didn’t tell on them why would he snitch on two soft morons from Murder Inc.

@@johnwalkeristhatdude3018 how do you know who’s soft or not? Do you know these guys personally or something ?

@@TheNaz1996 I grew up in 50s neighborhood I’m younger than him tho but I heard stories

Yes. He can rap and write

@@bororobo3805 all my fav rappers can rap & write 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 no way in hell I could listen to anything on the radio these days. I grew up listening to today many dope mc’s

Yup 🙏💯 i always tell people listen eminems yellow brick road fir that reason. Imo its his best song

From Brooklyn to Compton ! “Niggas know when them hollows air’n, I turn your Antoine walker to a throwback Robert parish / with 2 holes under Celtic & you would think your Boston warm up jacket hot till the desert eagle melt it” - Game been fire from the jump.

Facts & think about this , think about the reason game didn’t jump in the beefs 50 had with Jada , Fat Joe & Nas. It was because they was fucking with him Before Even being on G Unit & 50! People act like 50 cent & G Unit made Game, when Dre discovered Game prior to all of that & then ended up putting him onto G Unit

@@SuperbNProsper they basically gave him the platform & he displayed to the world how good he was. Yayo had the same opportunity & he never turned out as big as game.. that goes to show how good game was & still is

@@MR.__G exactly!

@@SuperbNProsper Factz.

Facts ! First time I ever heard game was on that song & that shit had a buzz

True, that song & video dropped before Game album but 50 was way hotter at the moment & 'Hate It or Love It', 'How We Do' got Game more buzz. Adding him to G UNIT was huge for Game

@@luckycarter536 true

🎯🎯

Certified Gangstas first and then the one with eazy e sample. "Old E still cruizin "

🎯🎯

Tell them niqqaz bruh

They're also saying 50 was slept on before he got shot, then cause he got shot he got a deal. He had a deal with Colombia and then got caught up in the beef with premeteam and murder inc.

@@alexanderhowcroft8779 but that Columbia deal wasn’t shit. His story turned his career around

@@seanybreeze315 yeah but that doesnt mean he wasn't on his way to making it. He was gonna blow with the right promotion either way. He always had that energy. But i get what yoy are saying now

I wont say games ego. More like 50. 50 was in CHARGE/CONTROLLED everything around him and g-unit. Game aint make him get on the radio and kick him out

You believed that story tho? Fr...like you thought real bloods are fuckin with a lil mexican with rainbow hair?

Lol true to extent. You can be like i hate this song for a week or month,or sometimes a year and then that one word or part will be catchy enough that makes you end up liking it 🤣🤣

Exactly 💯👌

They literally brought politics into this, modern day ones at that. They are in the “rap” entertainment

That’s cap. You didn’t but don’t speak for others

Games first album was mostly songs tht fif was gonna have on his 2nd album but he gave them to game

Game ain't lyrical, He only mention names for 17 years, He is great Musically

@@ducatarina8310 Letter to the King, feat Nas, Angel with Common, he got bars.... I'm a Game fan. He is lyrical. You don't listen to his catalog like that.

@@wild100sQ like i said he's great musically, hard beats, but I don't like his lyrics simple

@@dreadgang720 thats 3 songs the album had 18 songs on the album and all the songs were fire

True, but Cuh still going down

Right dude don’t know what he talking about

Stripping was a label put on him because his mom owned a strip club. If you were 50 or any other person,why Would you honestly sign someone who you know is a stripper or etc then turn around and let them lie about living a different lifestyle then try to bring that up when they fall out but that wasnt the case when they was cool you get what im saying lol ? Like example,pac shot those 2 off duty cops and we know its true but imagine it was just a story we never officially knew but thought was true. Then when him and outlwaz or etc fall out with pac they be like thats why you never shot no cops but the whole time pac was cool with etc they was saying it was true but because they argue or etc dude will try to discredit/slander pac. As an example lol

Nahhh.. so all these rappers is authentic?? Real??

@@gboogie360 Most... some might not be like that. But if they come from a well known hood that's really like that. They can get on. That's where the fanbase come from. GDs getting blackmailed tho. Like Duck was, Rooga, and others.

lol BULLSH. You dont have to be in the hood or street at all. Non gangsters are still better rapping and as song writers and lyrically than the gangsters. Not the ckowns who were "gangsters as teenagers" and been living luxuriously for 3 decades. Authenticity means shii in the game or else youd hate Pac for being fake and accept Em murders everyone

Look at 69 lol he was trash but 9tre made ppl gravitate towards him

@@wild100sQ you mean black balled

But getting shit 9 times was great marketing to the masses which helps you blow up. 50 may have not got that push if Em and dre didn't step in because he was blackballed after he got shot.

You crazy I’m from Texas and I knew 50 story he was a drug dealer that got shot 9 times and was getting black balled from murder inc

Lol..its the ambience

@@Rio-uv1gs I k'ow 😂😂😂😂

Dude sound mad too lol he's ranting

I swear bro dat shit grinds my gears

Very💯💯

Favorite song is One Night

🙌🏼🙌🏼

@@bororobo3805 not a bad pick

Exactly

Old niggas be in the barbershop talking out the side of they heads 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Math just say anything

Matt be lowkey envious of the young succesful rappers for whatever reason. He always sounds bitter, uninformed and disconnected when speaking on the new generation of rappers...

I'm here sayin the same shit but there's a thing kall PREMEDITATION!!!!!

On a grand scale, but not for individuals. I was never sold on a rapper's story. It ALWAYS their talent.

Put the 5th to ya stomach n the eagle to ya head like Donovan mcnabb

💯💯💯💯...yup ...real heads kno

He was

No really, I myself was just a young kid and I didn't grow up in the states or know anything about no 50 cent or freeway rick ross, I was a fan of 50's music and movement with G-unit and all that, but didn't know about the original 50 cent, this argument might apply to the cats from New York especially from Brooklyn who knew him or of him, the same goes for freeway rick on the west coast.

Game had the west on his side. We were pumped for new talent to blow. Plus he was the first west coast artist backed by a New York star. Never was done before him.

Because they wrote their own albums and didn't have 50 write for them and they didn't have 50 on damn near every song. Game did.

True.

CAP!!!! I FW GAME TIL THIS DAY

I fuck with game heavy he dope but game hurt his own career cause his personality suck

One game was on before he got with fifty and couldn't sell anything he was shelved Dr Dre took him to 50 and asked to let him ride in his car period

@@dipset6892 facts

@@dipset6892 ok I still liked the game for his music not 50 I never said 50. Didn’t help him out

Many lyrical monsters didn't blow up...being good at it isn't enough

At that time 50 cent could've made Lil bow wow look like the biggest gangsta in the Industry. That's the power 50 and the GUnit brand had.

@@qaspanova in 2000-2005 it was

@@khairt1731 Negative sir. Look at the rest of G-Unit. Who else snapped on there 2nd, 3rd, 4th albums? Who else are we even in here talking about?Game 1st piece "The Documentary" was one of the few discographies that went track for track with what "Get Rich Or Die Trying" did. 50, Jimmy Levine, Dre, all contributed, and made it great, but Game tapped into the hardest market (west coast) and put them back on the map. The Game was better with the label helping ( like most artists) but he put out a lot of great albums, and LP's after.

@@MikeMars- delusional. Because 50 was featured on those hit songs. What happened when Dre and 50 stop producing.

Ecactly on life and times vol 3

Same here. Same with Game I was listening to him before 50 or G-Unit helped.

He came in 2005

@@capquest4488 hmm highly questionable

I don’t think it’s really hip hop culture as much as the hip hop business. The business is foul and enforced these weird messages. It wasn’t always music to kill a nigga to.

facts.. once the whole interview came out and he was just joking about doing 300 bars and running 🤣🤣 fools did a deep dive on a hot take smh

^^^^^^ - SUPER BAR SPITTER- G Holy

Exactly it's similar to wrestling fortunately I never believed none of these rappers and know its all entertainment.

I think rappers play up the persona and character. You aren't necessarily supposed to take them at face value, but those that did become disappointed. That's why a lot dumb shit popped off in the 90s because people assumed what the heard was the genuine article, and when it wasn't then its a problem. But damn near every rapper exaggerates his story, it helps build up the persona.

@@jman1562001 maybe its easier to say and look at in hindsight but ive been saying for years a lot of 80s 90s and 2000s rappers were gimmicky
