Is 50 Cent A Top 10 Rapper of all time?

[double0suge]

Saying no just cuz of that first line in the OP

 

[The Recipe]

Lol @ his discography is easily top 10

Nigga got 1 great album and about 5 meh to garbage joints. I guess you have to consider todays standards of music while evaluating shit.

He has more than one great album tho. Before I self destruct is great and so is the massacre.

Massacre is Doo Doo Grits, the album the made me start going to the bootleg CD man at dollar general.

Nah that album has some great tracks.

Baltimore Love thing, In My Hood and maybe God gave me /////////End CD

 

[Preach2Teach]

^^ Bullshit.

 

[bck145]

He had a top 10 run.

this,but he fell off something bad and it all started when he had that bet he could outsell Kanye and lost

Power of the dollar 4 mics

GRODT 4.5 mics

The Massacre 4 mics

Curtis 3 mics

Before I... 2.5 mics

stopped listening... had a couple of nice songs here and there but I lost interest

You do realize going down 1 mic at a time is not a drop off something bad....it's a gradual drop off

But power of a dollar and grodt are both 5 mics....so is guess who's back if you count that

 

[The Recipe]

^^ Bullshit.

Ill keep it 1000, I was a 50 stan GRODT Era watched the DVD that came with the album almost everyday. Copped massacre first day and started using it for a weed plate after about 2 weeks.

 

[illestni99ainne]

Nigga just no

 

[Preach2Teach]

One of the best songs ever in Hip Hop..

 

[The Recipe]

One of the best songs ever in Hip Hop..

If he had dropped this album after GRODT......

 

[interpherence]

No disrespect to Get Rich or Die Tryin' but HELL NO is he in top 10 rappers of all time. This is literally ONLY a consideration if you have record sales as your single criteria. 50's a mediocre lyricist at best. And without Dre & Em his shit fell off hard.

NY Rappers Better than 50:

Biggie (obviously)

Rakim

Nas

Jay-Z

Mobb Deep (as a duo, The Infamous stands the test of time better than GRODT)

LL Cool J

KRS-One

Big Daddy Kane

Gang Starr

Jadakiss

Raekwon

Ghostface Killah

Chuck D

Q-Tip

Nicki Minaj

I'd even be willing to put DMX's crackhead ass ahead of 50 as a rapper. I still bump old DMX more than 50 records.

Does 50 have some hotter songs than those of the above? Sure. He's worked with some of the best producers in the game. But those 11 NY rappers have consistently impressed me verse after verse with more than 50's ever brought.

But in case those rappers don't cut it for you, let's get to the rest of the country.

Non-NY Rappers Better than 50:

Kendrick

Kanye

Eminem

Snoop

Tupac

Ice Cube

Lupe Fiasco

Game

Andre 3000

T.I.

Lil' Wayne

Pusha T

Drake (ugh)

And all that's just off the top of my head. Sure you can make arguments against a few of the people on those lists. But are you seriously telling me you can't put 10 of those people above 50? getdafuckouttahere....

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Only big,jigga,nas,masta ace,ghostface and cube have cases as better so yea fif easily top 10

Niether one of those albums are GREAT. Rappers that have better catalogues than 50:

Nas

Redman

Ghostface

Em

Snoop

K-Dot

Game

Jay

T.I.

Wayne

Drake

Should I keep going.......

This list is laughable duke said redman goofy ass and snoop who been wack for damn near 25 years and the game been trash since he debuted wit g unit

 

[ChillaDaKilla]

Ghostface Killah

 

[Logical Truths]

Hell no.

I fuck with 50 and G-unit hard as fuck. GRODT and Massacre will always be classics but 50 spit game fell off. A top 10 all time rapper cant be putting out the shit he putting out lately. 50 dont care about rap like that anymore. Buck n Banks got way more passion for the shit right now. 50 let himself slide outta that relm. Nobody took it from him tho. He just let it go.

 

[StillFaggyAF]

Is he even top ten in N.Y.?

Might not even be top 10 in queens

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Is he even top ten in N.Y.?

Might not even be top 10 in queens

Lol

 

[ikey_baby]

Rozay said it best "Sold 10 mil still not 1 of the 10 best & all them niggas looked gay he not even respected as a red cafe He's not half of jay z not nas fake Saigon maybe" lol

 

[KneeGro_DuperMan]

Sorry but Drake's catalog ain't fuckin with 50's

 

[manofmorehouse]

Not top 10. Not even close. Was his impact big when he dropped?? Hell yeah. What happened after though??? Average ass albums. GRODT was dope. His wave was over a while ago though....

 

[saracenwire]

Hell no. No hate at all, i like 50, but he probably doesn't even crack top 30. He was basically the 2000's version of DMX. Massive initial popularity and impact, but was done within about 5 years. Someone said it earlier but he probably isn't even top ten from New York
