Nigga is the epitome of the "went from top ten to not mentioned at all" bar on Takeover.(Not mentioned for the right reasons anyway.)
Dude was Googled on the same level as pop stars from 2004 to 2009.

(Btw, Britney Spears was the most Googled artist in that time period if you're curious.)
But it's crazy how this dude was musically dead for so long and became much more known for TV and social media trolling to Generation Z when he was THIS huge at one point.
If 50 had the right direction, he could've been bigger than Drake today.
This is true
Ran absolutely everything for 3 years and then musically did NOTHING that had quality or quantity since.
Christina and Usher don't do numbers like that anymore either tbh
But yeah 50's fall off was probably the hardest

Even before Curtis came out ppl were already over him.
Ye helped him a bit with that sales battle tbh.
dude is still scared to drop street king immortal
He dropped it multiple times under different titles
Ain't nobody tryna hear that s*** anymore.
50 was mad when Keef didn't show up to that video shoot.. he thought it'd be his comeback 🤦♂️
50 ultimately saw music as a hustle and moved on to other projects. Some rappers aren't in it for the music. 50 is the most talented of that cohort

Same as cudi with the third moon album.

If Chelsea Handler tells him to drop it, he probably would.
Did jay and 50 ever cross paths
They actually did a tour together called Roc The Mic back in 03.
If Chelsea Handler tells him to drop it, he probably would.
Dude actually took a jab at her but it went above everyone's heads lol
A lot of people consider 2009 to be Jay-Z's commercial peak, but check this out.
50 was still more Googled than Jay at his peak with a mid album.
And 50 was still mainly Googled for his music(the song with Neyo and the mixtape.) Nigga had the same buzz as Blueprint 3 way past his prime.

Even past the 2000's unto 2011, 50 was still getting Googled primarily for his music(the song with the P****cat Doll and Outlaw) and was as famous as Kanye during the Watch The Throne and E.T. era.

Nelly tbh
oh u meant about the ppl in the op, but yeah nelly fell off the hardest of those early 2000s rappers

Nelly tbh
Country artists still put Nelly on songs that I hear in convenience stores & CVS all the time
