Who is the biggest "crab in a barrel" in Hip Hop?

[GetoBoy]

50 is either the biggest crab or biggest hater I'll let y'all determine the difference but he definitely owns the crown for at least one of them

I can't stop laughing at how he only gave us one choice for a rapper.

But yeah, he always struck me as a jive nigga.

Glad I'm not the only one that found that fucking funny

50 has always said he live by the motto "don't outshine your master" so he tries to tear down anything that will outshine him..... 50 coo and all but everything about him is crab in a barrel

What about Jay kicking his man off the photo shoot? how about Jay being jealous of DMX and messing him around with an album release even tho X was a bigger selling artist than Jay?

When Jay took over as Pres. Of Def Jam in 2004

DMX - 16 million records sold

Jay - 32 million records sold

"Men lie, Women lie, Numbers don't"

Nelly numbers are higher… facts!

He has two clothing lines, Vokal and Apple Bottoms. He has been referred to by Peter Shapiro as "one of the biggest stars of the new millennium", and the RIAA ranks Nelly as the fourth best-selling rap artist in American music history, with 21 million albums sold in the United States.

I'm just curious on why you mentioned nelly. The argument was dmx.

Never. Not once.

Kanye said Bush didn't care about black people and 50 said "well I can sell more albums than you".

Hilary Clinton talked shit about Obama all year long and in 07, 50 waxed poetically about her.

Kanye rushed the stage on that country singer and 50 went on a "MMMAAMMYYYYYY" media tour to praise any white female that hated Ye including Swift, Pink, and Katy.

White folk been acting a damn fool since Travon Martin got killed and all 50 managed to do was get turned down by some old white shriveled up female comedian.

Jay shouldn't even be in this discussion,

he helped way too many "black" people become millionaires..

He'll never be considered a crab in my book..

Who? Name them

"I've done made more millionaires than the lotto did

Dame made millions, Biggs made millions

Ye made millions, Just made millions

Lyor made millions, Cam made millions"

All those Rocafella, State Property, Dipset, and Def Jam artists. He may not have made all of them, but he deginitely helped a hell of alot of artists make bank.

50 entire team was eating…

If you say nobody should shine more than you if they around you that's crab in a barrel 101

What 50 said and what 50 did shows the opposite, Banks Buck and Yayo all got their time to shine and got big pushes, who did Jay push? it was Dame who gave Kanye his start, it was Dame who gave Dipset their album releases that's why Jay couldn't cope and had to leave Dame because his ego couldn't stand it, then he piggy backed on Kanyes talents like the true crab he is now he wants to send shots at Kanye on that overrated new album? lol now that Jay is running out of talent to piggy back his albums are not so good.

 

[Preach2Teach]

Jay stans always wanna throw out the "men lie women lie the numbers don't" line lol It's men and women who come up the the numbers and publish them you dumb fucks, and men and women can lie right? stop thinking Jay is a genius you brainwashed sheep.

Jay left Dame cuz he was bad for business and burning bridges w/ his over inflated ego.

1st, Kanye chose Jay over Dame cuz he wasn't stupid. 2nd Kanye started shitting on Jay, and his wife, first.

Somebody already said it, but some of you don't get what the "crab in a barrel" metaphor is.

50 Cent literally had a song themed "If I can't do it, then it can't be done" on his VERY FIRST mainstream album. You can say "How To Rob" was just a gimmick or joke, but how do you defend him using that same tactic for attention throughout his entire career to this very day?

Meanwhile, Jay, on a freestyle to that same song said

"I take the pain from my life, pour it all inside

Take my strain and my strife, take my ego and pride

Used it to kick down the door, brought my people inside"

That is the exact opposite of a crab in a barrel mentality. Its not that Jay didn't want Kanye to outshine him, maybe its possible he just didn't see the potential in him at first. That's not the same. And let's stop acting like Dame believed in Ye. He signed him for the beats and calculated it a worthwhile risk to put out his album... no different then anybody else at Rocafella including bum ass Amil and Peedi. I'm not praising Dame for saying "Yeah... sure... fuck it"
