They made a song and when they performed it live they had someone else do his verse

He had a falling out with nas too after getting shot but it didn't escalate til after he blew

His industry blackball was basically primarily due to ja rule/murder inc

He was clout chasing.

He was signed to Columbia. He already had a deal. He was in the mix. He used to run with JMJ and was managed by Violator.

50 was well connected in the NY music hip hop scene. He even used to hang with Nas and NORE back in the day.

Yes but he successfully caught it

Fif was not beefing with wu tang lol

How to rob paraphrased

I'm just saying of all the people that got called out on How to Rob they were particularly peeved according to themselves. Were strongly considering rolling on him... but they didn't :elon:

It was deeper than sport to Hov lol that’s for sure

The way he did that when he was on top was pure ego tripping. Dude had so much beef success he thought he was invincible, I imagine the game roasting his crew so bad after he got fired was a humbling experience, not that it stopped him from more beefing but still lol

A whole lotta rumors about ghost face throwing 50 cent down a flight of stairs at that time

he was definitely asking for it at a very rugged time in hip hop

I was buyin Source back then :elon: remember the drama

50 beefed with street dudes that shot him 9 times and muder inc (ja rule, irv gotti, and a bunch of goons). It wasn't really the whole industry against 50 because he was still working with a lot of people and the extent of his "beefs" were people taking his jabs seriously he had a massive wave and for a little bit it was 50 and G Unit taking the lion's share of attention. YB has real street beef that he brings into music and doesn't really fw too many people

I always assumed How to Rob was inspired by Dreams by Biggie. In Dreams he facetiously raps about banging every female star R&B singer and in How to Rob he raps about robbing every star rapper. Same type of concept. 50 doing that took more balls tho, and naturally it inspired more negative responses from those rappers. That was part of his appeal- he had the balls to say anything about anyone.

Same and Nicki did a fine job with take as well tbh

Preme really tried to kill him

Agreed, her version is great

Not a beef

Everyone got butthurt at his How to Rob song.

Eminem and 50 both did "diss everybody" singles in '99

if someone disses carti we got an army

I don’t get how we can put the onest on yb as if most of the industry wasn’t already positioned against him. Yb is who the a&r’s compare rappers to as a goal of aspiration when they sign these dudes. It fueled an air of jealousy against him just to have those numbers and street love.

mf living 12/12 months on christmas
that's the murakami effect

I was just listening to that and I seen this thread

I know the supreme s*** but refresh my memory of what happened before that with 50 and Ja
