50 cent was too much of a supervillain he beefed with everyone to keep them down and keep himself on top whereas drakes strategy is pretty much to be friends or at least acquaintances with anyone who has a buzz. 50 cents run was short but glorious to watch whereas drake def played the long game

This too, he used to make hit hooks in his sleep then after Curtis came out his hooks suddenly became robotic and awkward lol

yea sure bro (not mine)

Nah nothing Travis did is anywhere near the level of 50 cent at his peak, 50 cent went friggin diamond with that cd.

Travis Scott had a hamburger, 50 cent had his own video game, and even that became a "ps2 greatest hits" lolol

50 the ONLY black rapper to ever get a Gold plaque in Argentina. Even Drake hasn't yet.

Dude's also the highest selling rapper OAT in Russia.

50 had his own car cant top that

Bruh no one cares about Travis happy meal toys

We already forgot about it, it did nothing for the culture.

Facts. Anyone denying that wasn’t around during their prime.

Props to Travis for getting those endorsements but he's not really the megastar 50 was.

A megastar is someone that even your grandparents who don't listen to rap and people from 3rd world countries know. Travis isn't there yet.

Drake is probably the last true megastar in rap tbh.

this and tbh the highlight of his past three years was a drake feature (not hating)
50 WAS the main feature his image was iconic

yea bro drake the closest thing

Man this thread really got me in my feelings thinking about the good ol days lol

couldnt escape 50 in new york

I actually wish I was in NY during their run you couldn’t escape them in Chicago either but I know that energy was different in NY

50 had niggas in school thinking getting shot was cool when Many Men dropped thats how you know that nigga had power cause wtf were niggas on back then lmao.

This is history

haha facts it was different back then
i swear this video was a glimpse of how it was back in NY back then(how he was everywhere)

posters commercials art , cd's dvd's his music blastin everywhere it was crazy

Also recent artists have the advantage of rap being the biggest genre in the world rn

When 50 was at his peak rappers were still competing with rock and popstars

If you listen to russian rap music from the 2010s a lot of them still sound like G Unit

Gotta derail this s***

got a 100 guns a 100 clips how i dont hear no shots?

fat joe aint a gangsta he scared to fly!

i remember this vividly. i was like 11or 12 when GRODT dropped. Beg For Mercy is still goated
