what did 50 do besides drop wacc albums and sell a lotta records..

T.I and Jay both dropped wackm/edicore albums from 2000-2010.

I think ops statement was based on buzz and records sold, if thats the case then 50 should be up there as part of the 5.

 

[KillaCham]

T.I. definitely isn't in the Top 3... probably not even Top 5.

Buzz, quality, sales, impact all rolled in one.

50- lacked all outside of 2 albums

Luda- lacked buzz and quality outside of 2 albums

The 4 artist I named did not lack any outside of 1 album from each.

Well then it becomes a subjective list. Only thing that subjectively influenced my post was me putting Lil Wayne above T.I. and Luda because of his hype. I was gonna factor in album reception/acclaim too but I got lazy after a while.

id its really close by the people or quality also..maybe only 2 or 3 spots to change..

how do u have as many number 1's and top 10's as luda with out buzz?? and he is STILL addin to that..

chicken & beer, and release therapy>>>the first 2...

what are u sayin?

This ruins your whole credibility on quality. Dont believe me? Make a thread about it and see how many people agree with me. Not gonna discuss sales because as we've witnessed in the past they can lie. I am not hating on Luda by any means, I have purchased and own 4 of his albums and I would listen to him before I would listen to Lil Wayne. And im not saying he was irrelevant or doesnt deserve to be recognized for what he has done I simply think imo that these 4 were the better overall choice.

smh, u should know better nigga..

either way, luda has dropped good albums, from #1 to #6 and even bots wasnt that bad..

 

[KillaCham]

LOL nah bro, Back for the First Time was solid as hell. Luda was at his lyrical best and had words for days. Chicken & Beer just had the hits.

 

[G.R.I.P. Money $$$]

i wasnt feeling the songs on back for the first time like that, he was spittin tho..

word of mouf was real good tho, and chicken & beer and red light district are slept on imo..

 

[Niggas back]

Nas is still relevant. I didnt see his name in the OP
