Cant wait till Buck drop....shit is goin 2 b fire

I respect that nigga cuz he is a legend but honestly u haters could call me whatever u want but regardless 50 fan or not i think if anyone deserves it Fif 4 sure does.....Im not sayin that he's the only one but i think he's one of 'em

Why all these old heads be hating, 50 done made more hits than melle mel, so he telling me tom brady dont deserve to be in the hall of fame because all he did was win super bowls. Who says 50 is not influential, he influence me to go out to be the boss, who says 50 not influencing millions of kids out their to rap, what is dude talkig about. All you old rappers trying to advance its all over now take it like a man.

KING

I hate hearing that already made songs get cut from the label b/c of these fucking labels, what ever happened to true music, fuck these corny ass business men trying to make their money (actually their living) off rap and then telling a rapper he can't say certain things. It's like the problems Saigon is having with Atlantic, fuck those idiots want him to make club music when he wants to do something else, r u joking? Someone's gotta open a label with BALLS that rises above all this bullshit, I'm sick of it, this is what Nas is talking about when he say's HipHop is Dead.

And for the record, Melle Mel also said (as quoted on this website) that 50 Cent prob writes some of the best hooks he's ever heard and that he is an incredible song writer. And that's coming from an innovator and old-school legend, so fuck all the 50 haters, his music is good, and those who hate are listening with their eyes not their ears.

hey 50 try hard and deserves to get into hall of fame and no disrespect to the god fathers of hip hop but they always try to blame everything on 50 just cause it took the nigga 3 years to be a boss in the music industry and sold over 21 million records he is a bad guy now man i think these dudes(old school/new school) are jealous nigga hate to see do good but love to see do bad.
p.s
my real nigga go get buck the world

i aint go lie hip hop is dyeing but its not because of 50 its because niggaz like d4l,camron,mims etc

Hip Hop is not dead its just a different kind of hip hop, the south got they own kind of hip hop um not go say that because i think luda is hip hop i think t.i is hip hop lil wayne is hip hop buck his hip hop, then u got the crunk shit thats what people feel is killing hip hop but its not. HIP HOP IS ALIVE

i agree wit u mile and ive always said the HIP HOP IS ALIVE

im signing out peace 1

yea for tru 50 only gonna make money not enough rep man he aint gonna be remembered the only thing that will be remebered is he made money from someshit tracks, rappers nowadays dont have any meaning or truth in their songs so they can jus suk a ball if they want

i agree 100% with melle mel. and for the football comparison, 50's no tom brady. 50s like a rex grossman or t.o.. They just dont deserve to go into hall of fame. Why? Rex is garbage at his craft, same with 50. He would be good at being a pop singer or w.e. but not a rapper or hip hop artist. T.O. doesnt deserve to because he causes so much problems in the sport and doesnt stay true to the whole team sport idea. 50 causes too many problems in hip hop and he is crazily watering down the music. Wins and Stats should not be the biggest factor in hall of fame or any legendary status determination. if it was mcguire would be getting in, pete rose would be getting in, etc.

yeh i deffo agree wid notoriuos on dis 1!!!
the people who need 2 be credited r the ones who have influenced hip hop in a big way n not just from record sales!!! for example the likes of 2pac, ll cool j, dr dre etc.. these guys have changed the way 4 the hip hop scene n not just fort cuz i sold like a million tracks n get credited for it, ive noticed it fukin mostly lil kids who have a crush of 50 n eminem they buy the cd n never fukin listen 2 itm thats a reason y there records r so high in some way, but obvious 4 some fans its cuz there music is good!!!
but there we go thats how the hip hop industry is turning dis day in my opinion its dying!!!

I have never thought buck was good at all. I have yet to hear anything that lyrically stands out. Juss my opion, skillz signing out

Notorious how is 50 garbage at his craft. He is a great rapper and an incredible songwriter. Did everyone forget this guy was signed by two legends, and I think there opinions mean more than ours in terms of recognizing talent. And who the fuck cares if 50 sings, he can STILL rap. He does his own thing, would you rather him through someone like Ne-Yo or Ciara on every hook, would that be better. The guy gets in the booth, feels like humming out a chorus and does it, who gives a fuck. Plus they're catchy as hell. Should he ever be inducted into the Hall of Fame, that's another story but don't say this guy is trash at his craft, that's some ignorant shit to say.

And Skillz u want to hear something lyrical from Buck, play Straight Outta Cashville start to end, he's got gems on that disc.

melly mel is a fuck boy. if he wasnt impressed by 50 cent then why is his name comin out yo mouth???????? ppl names only come to you when your a factor and his short ass just mad cuz no oe remembers him. GOOD LUCK WITH WWF YOU SHORT WANNABE WRESTLING ASS NIGGA.....

NIGGA LOOK LIKE A SHORT LUDACRIS ON STERIODS. SONNED

Bucks not a "lyrical" rapper. He's nice but to say he's lyrical is just like... Blah. Banks is "lyrical"... or Was. As for Melle. I agree, to be in the Hall of Fame, you should be changing the way people look @ hip hop. 50 Cent aint in nobody's fuckin top 5 dead or alive. He makes good tracks with great hooks, appeals to every market, and sells a ton of records. THAT would be the reason he's inducted. Its not gonna be for consistently having great albums, not for his expertise with usage for the English language, nothing mind boggling when it come to his raps. But when you get to the BUSINESS SIDE, and ONLY IF you look @ it from the BUSINESS SIDE, will you be able to say he do something that deserves his spot in the Hall of Fame... But again we're talking about rapping here. Dre/Em deserve places in the hall of fame b4 any of them. Word.

and how can u compare 50 cent to rex grossman and t.o when has 50 ever lost for g-unit he didnt do shit but get g-unit rich. and how is 50 bad for hip hop when he the only nigga making great music. Because get always have beef is that the reason, well if yall didnt notice everybody always got they his name in their mouth the niggas 50 diss first was jada and joe and thats it. 50 will be a fucking legend, he may not go down as one of the best lyrcial rappers of all time, but he will be a legend as a musicisan. 50 has 2 classic albums with one never droping. Power of the dollar and Get Rich Or Die Trying and let nigga tell me that them not no classics. I'll tell you, u dont know hip hop and you just one of them 50 cent g-unit haters. And 50 cent is the tom brady of hip hop because all he do is win , tom brady no as flashy as peyton manning on mcnabb all he do is come out and throw lil short passes and hand the ball of and win super bowls. all 50 do is make hits have great hooks. and lyrically 50 is a beast when he want 2

Hey yall need to watch this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjNNxnKVEpQ

i saw Melle on Rap City yesterday. This nigga is huge no homo. You shoulda seen the Booth tho, 2 of 5 are stuck in 1986 still.

Buck is goin' platinum! and Melle Mel should take a seat and shut the fuck up, I respect my elders and I'm not a youngster, but it seems like all the older dudes in Hip-Hop hate on the new niggaz...some niggaz deserve the hate, but it seems like Mel is hatin' cuz 50's doin' shit they never did as far as the business aspect...u mad cuz 50 got rich off this music shit and ya'll didn't.

WHAT THE HELL IS MELLE MEL TALKING ABOUT. THERE ARE GOING TO BE A FOURTH GENERATION OF RAPPERS AND MCS AFTER THE NAS JAY Z 50 CENT EMINEMS LUDACRIS AND SNOOP DOGGS ALL CALL IT QUITS WHO WILL SAY THESE MEN WERE INFLUENTIAL TO THEIR CAREERS.
THE FIRST GENERATION TO SECOND TO THIRD AND SO ON. TIMES CHANGE MELLE MEL.

WHY DOES EVERYONE SEEM TO GO HARD AT 50 CENT IN PARTICULAR WHEN HE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. MELLE SINGLED HIM OUT AND IGNORES WHAT THE SOUTH AND WHAT KIND OF MUSIC SNOOP DOGG IS MAKING NOW FOR AN EXAMPLE. AND YOU HAVE OTHER RAPPERS TALKING NONSENSE 50 TIMES WORSE THAN KURTIS. THIS 50 CENT JUST HAVE A GIANT BULLS EYE ON HIS BACK OR SOMETHING. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THAT FOR ME?

OH YEAH BUCK IS GOING TO FLOP HARD BODY BECAUSE NOBODY IS SELLING AND BUCK DOES NOT HAVE THAT NAME RECOGNITION THAT SAVED THE GAME FROM FLOPPING ON A VERY WEAK ALBUM DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE AND YOU GAME FANS KNOW IT. HE NEEDS THE DOCTOR, EM AND 50 TO MAKE A HOT ALBUM STOP DENYIN IT.

the only reason melle mel said what he said is beacuse 50, although he was in the game for a min, just put his foot in the door compared to all these other rappers.

FUCK G-UNIT

i was wit you untill you said something real dumb

THAT SAVED THE GAME FROM FLOPPING ON A VERY WEAK ALBUM DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE AND YOU GAME FANS KNOW IT

you need to shut that shit up
doc advocate was hard
a real kool album
on some west koast shit
it was way better than rotten apple

im no gonna debate whether or not 50 is good because any1 who listens or listened to his music know hes not a good rapper. its all choruses that makes his songs "great". ppl tend to quickly read and not understand my comparisons and im just really tired of explaining them even though its not hard to understand. the only ppl who ever argue 50 cent is good are ppl who are just fanatics. theres no use debating with u because ur blinding by ur love for the artist (no homo) that u can't really analyze correctly. just know in the back of ur mind that ur wrong and 50 isnt what u think he is. its cool u think that from nothing to something is so inspirational and 50 is a god to u now because he did that and he has so many "catchy" tunes, but hes nothing more than a pop artist and thats why mel said he should be in hip hop hall of fame category.

"50 doesnt deserve to be in the hall of fame" haha good one melle mel you too old to be hating....his opinion and all you haters out there doesnt matter 50 will be in the hall of fame one day and will deserve every part of it...he has had classic abums and probably one of the best rap ablums to this date Get Rich or Die Tryin...he has had the top 3 songs in the world all at the same time..and he did that TWICE!! first with in In Da Club/PIMP/21 Questions then again with Candy Shop/Just A Lil Bit/Outta Control Remix nobody else has ever done that once let alone 2 fucking times...he has had 4 songs in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time and the last artist to do that was The Beatles...he has been the biggest name in hip hop since he career really blew up in 02...nobody has had a bigger buzz since 50 did in 02/03....i know all you haters in here were running around yelling G UNIT in 03 dont even lie and now all you do is go out of your way to hate FOR WHAT?? cause he sings on a couple records WHO GIVES A SHIT!!...thats another thing he is the most diverse artist out right now...he can make a street anthem like nobody else out right now can Wanska/Meny Man/Hustlers Ambition and those were just his singles he can make a crazy club bangers and he can do shit for ladies thats why dude has sold over 22 million records...so whether you like it or not hes gonna go down as a legend so just sit back and watch cause you cant do shit about it....

should not****

COMPARIN THE DOCUMENTARY TO DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE'S PRODUCTION AND IS COMPARING LOBSTER WITH TUNA. IF THE DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE WAS GAMES' DEBUT ALBUM NOBODY WOULD BUY THAT SHIT AND I THINK YOU KNOW IT.

LAST TIME I CHECKED WORLD WIDE SALES DOCUMENTARY 5.2 MILLION DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE 1.2 MILLION IF THAT AIN'T A FLOP FOR GAMES' STANDARD THAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. THAT IS 1/5 OF WHAT HE IS CAPABLE OF. ROTTEN APPLES PRODUCTION WAS WAY BETTER THAN THE DOCTOR'S ADVOCATE. WHAT BANKS LACKED IN HIS SOPHOMORE EFFORT AND WHAT GAME BROUGHT WAS SOME SONGS WITH SOME CONCRETE LYRICS.

stop talking about Game...hes at 860k in the states right now...THATS A FLOP compared to what he wanted to do 'im gonna sell a million the first week" HAHAHAHAHA...numbers dont lie he proved he cant do shit with out 50/Dre

50 CENT IS A RAPPER BUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS COMPARIN 50 TO DIDDY WHO IS JUST AN MC. HE HAS SOME LYRICISM IN HIM BUT NOT CRAZY STUFF LIKE A NAS, EMINEM, OR PAPOOSE WHO PRIDE THEMSELVES ON LYRICISM.

50 CENT IS NOT THE GREATEST RAPPER LIKE EMINEM IS BUT HE IS AN MC AND A RAPPER. HIS ABILITY TO CREATE HOOKS AND SOMETIMES MAKE SOME HARD LYRICS. 50 CENT IS 50% RAPPER AND 50% MC A HYBRID

since when is going platinum a flop
yaw niggas was kool when yayo went gold
but game goes platinum and its a flop
come on now
and you kant compare albums with there first klassiks
no body has ever stomped the first klassik record sales
not even your boy kurtis
so yaw hating on game because he went 5X platinum on his first
and only 1 on his second yaw puting expectations on people to high in todays game
in that case the massacre floped
because it droped nore than half of get rich or rie tryin sales

50CENT IS HIP-POP. HE DOES THOSE CATCHY HOOKS ON SOME HOT BEATS (U CANT FRONT) HEES NOT A LIRICIST BUT A SMART DUDE. I HATE HIM AND RESPECT HIM AT THE SAME TIME.

DAMN HOMIE

I WAS JUST TRYING TO SHOW THAT RECORD SALE NUMBERS ARE DROPPING AS A WHOLE AND EVERYBODY IS GOING TO FLOP COMPARED TO WHAT THEY DID EARLIER. JAY 2X PLAT NAS GOLD AND 50 IS PROBABLY GOING TO SALE AROUND 3 MILLION IN THE US UNLESS HE PULLS OFF CRAZY HIT AFTER HIT. RAP RECORD SALE NUMBERS IS GOING TO DECLINE EVERY YEAR BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT THE SINGLES AND NOT THE ALBUMS.

stop talking about Game...hes at 860k in the states right now...THATS A FLOP compared to what he wanted to do 'im gonna sell a million the first week" HAHAHAHAHA...numbers dont lie he proved he cant do shit with out 50/Dre

is it me or do u repeat your self all of the time
i swear i seen that message from you in like 8 other articles
come up with something new
and check your stats
world wide sales do count as record sales idiot
and game sold more than all unit soldiers put togetheron one album
and out sold banks and the mob put together on his second
so thats a pretty good flop

CASE IN POINT CHINGY AND JIM JONES HAD NUMBER ONE HITS THIS SUMMER BUT BOTH OF THEM STILL FLOPPED TO MY STANDARDS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED ONLY IN THE SINGLES NOW. HIP HOP ALBUMS ARE DEAD.

NIGGA LOOK LIKE A SHORT LUDACRIS ON STERIODS.....lmfao at that ricky damn

yea and the south killed it

REAL TALK U SHOULD STOP COMPARIN GAME WITH BANKS MOBB DEEP YOUNG BUCK AND REST OF THEM THAT IS ONE OF THE REASON WHY HE LEFT THE UNIT BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO FALL UNDER 50. COMPARE GAME TO THE ELITE IN HIP HOP.

“He wasn’t as influential as Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five, or RUN D.M.C. or KURTIS BLOW or PUBLIC ENEMY. These are the influential groups in hip-hop. That’s the biggest movement and the bigger story about what hip-hop is.”

I agree that 50 aint the greatest rapper in the world, but these old ass niggas need to respect his hustle and understand music is always changing, the NY gritty sound that we used to hear in the 90's was different than what we hear now, and thats different than what niggas were listening to in the 80's....I think its a cheap shot to say that about 50, these old heads need to let it go......its true that they pioneered this rap shit, but they need to get over that and just take music for what it is, entertainment....

"world wide sales do count as record sales"

not 2 take sides in this argument, but that was a QUALITY comment RealTalk! I wouldn't care if I did Diamond in the U.S. or Japan... $17.99+ tax an album is $17.99+ tax an album! I wouldn't care if I did 2x plat in the U.S. and 9x plat in the U.K. ... #s are #s... I'd rather be a worldwide star than just a U.S. star... Besides, hip hop artists get MAD love overseas... In China and Japan, the Wu Tang Clan, for ex., have a Cult following!

AND LOOK AT THAT NIGGA NELLY WHO ALWAYS SALES BECAUSE THE LADIES LOVE HIM HIS LAST ALBUM FLOPPED TO HIS STANDARDS.

YO I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT THESE DECLINING ALBUM SALES

REAL TALK U SHOULD STOP COMPARIN GAME WITH BANKS MOBB DEEP YOUNG BUCK AND REST OF THEM THAT IS ONE OF THE REASON WHY HE LEFT THE UNIT BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT TO FALL UNDER 50. COMPARE GAME TO THE ELITE IN HIP HOP.

ok fine well he went plat and nas didnt
he sold more than snoop
so like i said thats a hell of a flop

NAS AND SNOOP FLOPPED TOO

U STILL AIN'T GETTIN MY POINT EVERYBODY IS GOING TO FLOP IN TODAY'S HIP HOP(MUSIC IN GENERAL) FROM WHAT I SAID EARLIER. IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW YOU SOLD EARLIER, YOUR FANS, HIT SINGLES AND IF YOUR NAME IS IN THE NEWS ON WHAT YOUR ALBUM SALES.

WHY SHOULD YOU BUY AN ALBUM THAT CAN U CAN DOWNLOAD THE SINGLES AND PUT THE ALBUM ON YOUR COMPUTER. ONLY DIE HARD FANS WILL BUY YOUR ALBUM. I BOUGHT BANKS(BIG MISTAKE HUNGER FOR MORE WAS WAY WAY BETTER) JAY Z LUDA AND NAS ALBUM LAST YEAR. THAT IS THE TREND UNLESS THESE COMPANIES START SUING HARD BODY THESE FILE SHARING NETWORKS FOR FUCKING WIT THEY MONEY.

About Buck,
To all you G-unit fans, I’m sorry, but buck will flop harder then Banks. Remember the Numbers don’t lie. Banks out sold Buck in their 1st Albums (yes they all went Plat). And we all know one main reason for the G-unit flops as of late is they have lost a good chunk of their Fans w/ the whole Game think. On that note, lets keep it 100% & think rational, every member of G-Unit will sell less then what they did on their previous Albums,...Banks, The Mobb (their pervious album) & GAME ,..ok I know he ain’t on G-unit anymore, but just like Them, he has been affected by the loss of fans that stayed loyal to the unit when he was kicked out & the unit too was affected by those that went w/ Game.
Now add the state of the Industry (downloads, Wack Music etc) to the Loss off fans that equals a BIG FAT FLOP.
I know to some of you niggaz in here this will blow past you,...but it’s aiiight It’s called projecting. And as a business man, you gota keep on top of the numbers.

As Far as MEL goes.
This Niggas has earned the right to speak his mind, he’s a fucken legend. But as far as 50 not making into the Hall, I have to disagree. And I’m not even a G-unit fan, but I know for a fact that back way b4 the Unit became all Corporate America , they was popin all over the Mix tape in NY, just the Song how to rob Ft. Madd Rapper had most of flipin,...50 literaly kick down the Door, Droped a Classic album in “get rich or die tryin” had every single one of us screamin G-G-G-G-Unit...And we can’t for get the boys pen Work.
But the routs he has taken after “get rich” def. has made him corny, he’s not even ½ the artist he was then, but what he accomplished then is enough for me to consider him as a top 15 hip-hop heavy weight of all time.

ok he went plat... but in his eyes you know he flopped to his standards you know hes not happy he wanted to sell like 10 million and he made a big deal about it in every interview he did up until DA dropped...thats why i lost repsect for game instead of keeping it moving and just doing music he took over a year out of his career to go out of his way and try and get at the unit when they werent saying shit about him....if he just kept it moving like a man and kept it cool i would have alot more respect for him but instead he acted like a little kid...and plus the butterfly tat and dating show footage didnt help either lmao but thats for another topic

and heres my question
since when is 1x plat a flop
since when

and plus the butterfly tat and dating show footage didnt help either lmao but thats for another topic

man so what
shit if i would of gotten the chance i would of went on that show to just like all of yaw would of

and s far as the butterfly tat
dr dre had a tounge ring but yaw niggas just totally ignore that shit
and at least you see game with bitches

TALK OF NJ

G UNIT(YAYO AND 50) WAS BAD MOUTHING GAME ON RADIO INTERVIEWS ALOT AFTER HE WAS KICKED OFF BUT GAME DID TAKE IT A LITTLE TOO FAR WITH DISS RECORDS TOWARDS BANKS AND OLIVIA WHO ONLY ADDRESSED THE GAME SITUATION DURING THAT INFAMOUS FUNK FLEX INTERVIEW AND BUCK WHO REMAINED LOYAL AND SIDED WITH 50. YAYO AND 50 WERE THE ONES TALKING SHIT ABOUT THE NIGGA ALL OVER.

im no gonna debate whether or not 50 is good because any1 who listens or listened to his music know hes not a good rapper. its all choruses that makes his songs "great". ppl tend to quickly read and not understand my comparisons and im just really tired of explaining them even though its not hard to understand. the only ppl who ever argue 50 cent is good are ppl who are just fanatics. theres no use debating with u because ur blinding by ur love for the artist (no homo) that u can't really analyze correctly. just know in the back of ur mind that ur wrong and 50 isnt what u think he is. its cool u think that from nothing to something is so inspirational and 50 is a god to u now because he did that and he has so many "catchy" tunes, but hes nothing more than a pop artist and thats why mel said he should be in hip hop hall of fame category.

50 last album was trash other then that what are u tlaking about. "catchy tunes" what was he before he sold 21 mil. u need to follow your own advise ur blinded by ur hate for the artist so that u cant really analyze correctly. just no that in the back of ur mind your wrong about and 50 inst what u think he is

"ppl who ever argue 50 cent is good are ppl who are just fanatics. theres no use debating with u because ur blinding by ur love for the artist (no homo) that u can't really analyze correctly. just know in the back of ur mind that ur wrong and 50 isnt what u think he is"

....wtf are you talkin about, your not makin any sense in what your trying to say, to say anybody who likes 50 is a fanatic, then what if somebody likes Cam'ron, or Fabolous, or Biggie, explain how you differentiate between fanatics and fanatics, you understand fan is shorterm for fanatic?? Whats funny bout this is that you either love the nigga, or hate him, hes not the greatest rapper, but he knows how to make bangers, people like to listen to his music, and white america is not the only ones listening......but please do explain what you mean by fanatic and pop artist, every artist who sells in the millions is a pop artist, their popular artists, thats the point of sellin records, you want to create good music and connect with a large fanbase, the niggas who aint pop and doin shit but talkin bout "im keepin it real, fuck 50 he aint in the hood", its nonsense.....my favorite artist of all time is Biggie, so does that make me a fanatic?

Time changes, 90’s rappers didn’t sound like 80’s rappers, and 2000 rappers didn’t sound like 90’s rappers. That’s like me going hard on a kid saying the tag he’s playing outside aint like what we did back in the days, outside games are dead. 50 influenced a lot of people who were just like him in the hood that they can make it in the rap game, at the same knowing exactly was other dudes were going through in the hood. If you leave it up to everybody else they would probably say Jay-Z and Nas would be the last people to make it in the hip hop hall of fame. And they didn’t rap or sound nothing like Run DMC or Grand Master Flash etc.

Pardon me “Rock And Roll” Hall Of Fame

co sign

dont no 50 dont no if he real all fake but good music is good music

50 has accomplished alot in his career, more than other niggaz that been in the game for over 10 years...the fact of the matter is niggaz wish they could do the shit he did in Hip-Hop...his success speaks for itself, so whether he makes the hall of fame or not shouldn't matter to him much, just like him not recieving a grammy...dude's not the most lyrical rapper, but he doesn't have to be, he still makes dope shit, and the nigga built an empire...and Buck is goin' platinum on u haters!

TalkofNJ: ok he went plat... but in his eyes you know he flopped to his standards you know hes not happy he wanted to sell like 10 million and he made a big deal about it in every interview he did up until DA dropped...thats why i lost repsect for game instead of keeping it moving and just doing music he took over a year out of his career to go out of his way and try and get at the unit when they werent saying shit about him....if he just kept it moving like a man and kept it cool i would have alot more respect for him but instead he acted like a little kid...and plus the butterfly tat and dating show footage didnt help either lmao but thats for another topic

RE: I agree w/ you 100%, Game too flopped even if he just cracked a mil in sales...he was far off his Documentary 5 mil, and way off the 10 mil he promised. Imagine how much he would have sold if he was still under G-unit. Same goes to them G-unit boys that came out after his departure (Yayo, Banks & the Mobb), the spit cost them Fan numbers, now games peeps wouldn’t buy anything g-unit puts out & vice versa.
But As far as Game taking time out his life to Fire back at Fif & them: that was what he felt he had to do. I mean Game was in the Camp & witnest how they mashed on Ja & Irv.,..now remember Ja thaught he shouldn’t respond, do u think he regrets it now? I’m neither a Game or G-unit fan, I’m just a hip-hop fan, so pls don’t even think I’m dick ridin. BUCK WILL FLOP, JImmy Iv Made his money off the Unit, he will promote Fif, but Buck time has passed. That Boy Rich Boy is now the Face of the South on Interscope, not that I agree, cuz he sucks too. But he is getting all the promotion & backing from Jimmy.

iceberg, MC Hammer and Nelly sold a bunch of records, too. So, do u think that they are GREAT RAPPERS!? Hammer had MAD HITS! HE WOULD'VE BEEN A LEGEND! He's a LEGENDARY ENTERTAINER, we'll say that. But he was a rapper. NO ONE was saying he was the best even though he was sellin' the most. So why are u all sayin' 50 is the best just cause he's sellin' a lot???

Re:Nah, If you read what I’m sayin is, 50’s movement, the swagger he had. The way he kicked down the Door, The Album he delivered (mind u I said delivered). Get Rich is a Classic,...the persona he had then. That’s why we need to consider him. Not from anything he has put out since then. I for one don’t fuck w/ that nigga, but I’m real enough to know, the G-unit Radios b4 he got a deal were str8t crack, the Funk Flex freestyles he did w/ Yao & banks had every NY cat feeling them. They played a huge roll in the Mix tape circuit, that alone should earn him a consideration. I don’t think his sales has anything to do w/ that,..you feel me B?

This is what saigon said

I read the forums, and they say, "Saigon's always talking about 50 Cent." For those that don't know, 50 Cent holds some significance in my life. I've seen this dude go from a hot artist on the street to being one of the most powerful men in the world. I had a chance to learn from this dude, and I'm going to hold that for the rest of my life. Call it what you want, 50 is going down in history books. He's part of American history. He comes from the hood and he easily could have lost his life, and look who he is now. That's some significant shit. Dudes can try and downplay it, but he's a part of American history.

this is the second time melle mel done made a comment on 50 cent like damn can yall leave tha man alone, get off his dick

buck is a real nigga, some niggas feels hes the best in the unit, sum feel hes the realest, and niggas will support him. its been a long time since he came out and a lot of people wanna hear his growth. and iceberg, rich boy is a one hit wonder. he will drop this cd and disappear

“He wasn’t as influential as Grandmaster Flash And The Furious Five, or RUN D.M.C. or KURTIS BLOW or PUBLIC ENEMY. These are the influential groups in hip-hop. That’s the biggest movement and the bigger story about what hip-hop is.”.......I don't mean to call anyone out, but whoever said this, obviously doesn't know who Grandmaster Melle Mel is....Also, although, I do think 50 could, and probably should end up in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame, I don't think 50 will be remembered or inducted, solely because of the number of records he sold...by the same token, MC Hammer has sold in excess of 15 million records...does this feat automatically make Hammer a legend?

Melle Mel does have a small point, those groups were very influential to rap, the movemment, but I believe 50 will be remembered among the greatest...created a movement, maybe not, but great, and influential rap artist none-the-less

Dont mean to take nothing away from fifty see its a difference from being great and a legend Tupac...legend 50 cent...great
Jay-z.....legend lil wayne...great Nas... legend chamillionaire... great
he hasnt really proved anything with his music to me cause ja aint shit just commenting though

......LOL nigga why the fuck you gonna say you dont wanna call nobody out....I quoted what Melle Mell said bout 50 so get off my dick.....my point was that music changes, those niggas invented rap and pioneered it, they are by no means responsible for what is going on today.....every nigga Melle Mell named, nobody listens to anymore, they are pioneers, will always be remembered, but damn, niggas actin like the Hiphop hall of fame is like Baseball or Football Hall of Fame.....fuck outta here with that shit....

In this day in age, niggas are about the money, and so are record companies, whatever sells, they will market that, now somebody will say well Joey its all ways been like that, thats true, but the market today is not the same as it was in the 90's......this whole thing about records sales and comparing RIAA notes is a new phenomenon.....niggas act like a record that sells 1 million copies is alot better
than a nigga who sells 400,000, that is by far the worst thing an
