All the old street heads have given 50 credibility... Irv and Ja had no connections in the streets, Irv wasnt even aloud on the block to DJ at the hood parties...
The only street connection they had was with Supreme when he came home, Supreme pimped them, which was the biggest mistake Murda Inc made... Chris Gotti knew it was a mistake, they werent even from the same part of Queens, but Irv was star struck and wanted to be able to mention his name...
Music wise both 50 and Ja made good music at points in their careers... And lets no forget that Irv saved Def Jam and worked his way to the top, he WAS a great businessman and record executive before making the worst decision of his career by trying to be a street dude and link with Preme...
Is just 50 really was a street dude and knew how to move and go to war, plus had financial abilities whereas The Inc wernt street dudes, they bought Preme onboard who really didnt have any money left, and was living off his past reputation and name, the only thing he bought to the table was the heat of the feds which bought the Inc down... Basically Irv got in over his head with 50 and Preme, both bought the Inc down...
