Summer 2004 was legit nothing but Usher and 50 on the radio back to back all day. GRODT and Confessions
I feel people get 50 was the man back in the day. Nelly is the one who gets downplayed.
Ludacris too lowkey.

encore sold 710k in it's first 3 days and 938k in it's second week
the massacre sold 1.14 million in it's first 4 days and 771k in it's second week

When bang em tried to run up on 50 at summerjam in 2004
and was with the s***s still in 2014 lol
mixtape game was unreal back then
g-unit had the most dominant mixtape game i've ever seen. the fall off was inexplicable at the time.
g-unit rejuvenated mixtapes.
without beefs and ppl to bully and with the g-unit group splintering apart, 50 quickly fell off after 2010.
he wanted to be diddy but there was no room for diddy in contemporary music at the time.
nigga took game from a compton nigga to being on trl with jlo
game had dreams on his g unit radio mixtape and was "dreaming about f***ing a rnb b**** like mya"
50 had mya in the video coming out the bedroom to the line of the song
50 cent was truly the largest artist on the planet at his peak, bigger than drake/travis

even drake can’t compare IMO, 50 truly was everywhere, you didn’t even have to have an interest in popular culture to know who 50 and g-unit was
he had video games, movies, a clothing line, shoe collabs all at the same time
