Travis might've surpassed this in 2020. Sony/PlayStation, Fortnite, McDonalds, Nike/Jordan, feel like I'm missing some.
LOL imagine
The only rapper in history more popular than prime 50 Cent was prime Eminem
Had whole Iraq in a chokehold lol
Plenty of soldiers still listen to the twang of country music or the scream of heavy metal. Many, in fact, said that metal -- and albums like Slayer's "Reign in Blood" -- helped psyche them up for combat as they roared across the desert in the very first days of conflict. But a great many say it was 50 Cent, Pastor Troy or Mystikal (himself, a Gulf war veteran) that kept them chugging along in trucks and Humvees -- in one case, manning the Humvee machine gun -- miniheadphone lines tucked away under Kevlar vests. They listened to get stirred up on the way to house raids, before tense guard duty assignments or simply when they awoke to another tedious day under that enormous sun.

G Unit performing in Iraq in front of us troops

50 Cent & Banks in Iraq over seas
That's like Travis performing in Iran in 2021

amazing
I prefer HOV and the ROC for commercial excellence
Not over shady/aftermath/gunit
Roc a fella was always fake with the record sales 😂 niggas wasn’t moving no units
His an absolute legend and people don’t give him enough flowers for one of the highest peaks in rap history, if not the highest
Besides, dude had movies, books, video games, liquors, you name it
Still killing the business game to this day with his tv shows
Black excellence for sure
Fam said Travis Scoot
Remember both of these clips
It was peak childhood. My favorite rapper at that time and my favorite player linking up. The trajectory of both their careers are eerily alike. Both ran their fields in 2004-07
And 50 was a global phenomenon. Ask anybody in Europe. Even Drake can't come close to his peak

Nah ok this f***ing nuts lmfaooooooooooooooooooo. I never seen this Iraq footage.
The 2000s were just peak hip hop man. Had a bit of everything. Gangsta still alive and well in the mainstream, Ye starting his legendary “old Kanye” run, Wayne and Pain busting open the auto tune doors for the future gen, TI and the south going crazy with different sub genres(crunk!!), em and Jay being international, Luda dropping gigantic hits and much more. The best times :)
All went downhill after the legend Kidd Kidd left
You probably meant joined
DONALD TRUMP AT THE END LOL
LMAO
Bruh....check this s*** out.
Candy Shop was literally the 2nd biggest song on Taiwanese hip hop stations in November 2020 competing with modern rap songs.

Dude's global impact is insane.
50 and Em affiliates really ate off their stimulus. They all went platinum off of a cosign, sign to the label or a feature... it was crazy back then

wow AMAZING find bro this is crazy
Imagine going to the mall as a kid and seeing 50 posters all over clothing stores



Early 2000’s mall vibes were unmatched
I never saw these posters but I can imagine
Wait Mystikal fought in the Gulf lmao?
During his time with the military, he served in the Gulf War and kept up with the New Orleans rap scene by visiting his home whenever possible. When he completed his service with the Army, Mystikal returned to New Orleans, where local groups and labels were starting to receive national attention.
