Lets relax

Like easily

Ex-husband of the most famous woman on the planet
Extremely popular in fashion
Ran for president
Extremely controversial
Also a legendary musician

All of these are true but his reach is way more condensed compared to that 2000s peak of rap (I'm not saying 50 Cent is more famous than Kanye)

Like I said, nostalgia

I mean yeah but that doesn't really discredit his reach

Tupac is still huge

How is that even up for discussion?

I saw some tweet or something a couple days ago but Kanye was like the 9th most Googled celebrity this year and he’s been silent all year

I think we're changing the point

I'm just saying that 50 Cent's Graduation is GRODT, and it was bigger

Kanye is one of the most famous celebrities in human history, like it’s way deeper than just music or an iconic album with him lmao

I don't think there's any metric to back that up

Yeah we're talking about different things now

I'm talking about musically, these two albums

GRODT is still larger on a grand scale

Well it sold 13 million and still counting

I think Grad has sold more than that

Even with it doing huge streaming numbers I don't think so

He definitely, easily appeals to the newer generation more though

Na i doubt that

True but you said 50 is bigger worldwide than Kanye West is musically, and that’s just not true.

Graduation vs. GRODT is a closer discussion, but by every countable metric we have Graduation has had the better longevity between the two albums

Before streaming if i could remember back in 2010-2011 grad was sitting at 4 point something million worldwide

I still feel that he is based on that album. It's hard to compare honestly lol

There's still that mount rushmore of Aftermath artists that are quite literally worldwide based on what they did 20 year ago

It's like the comparisons of MJ and Drake of today

That’s just because they’re pretty irrelevant outside of those landmark albums.

Kanye has been relevant musically for 15 years post-Graduation, that doesn’t diminish how iconic and legendary that album is though

Graduation sold 14,272,000 times worldwide according to chartmasters and keep in mind Graduation isn't updated in the US since 2020. It might be 8x Platinum by now

Yeah I was gonna say Grad has definitely sold just as much if not more than GRODT has worldwide by now

I love both kanye and 50 but kanye in his prime vs 50 in his prime popularity Wise I can’t see ye being bigger

These are huge numbers I didn't know that. But who knows, 13 Million might be old numbers for GRODT

For some reason, Kanye is bigger now than he was 10 years ago. Probably due to the accessibility of streaming

Imagine if he hadn't thrown his career away and wasn't mentally ill

2002 - 2003 50 Cent was a different beast, plus Get Rich or Die Tryin film

Idk I feel like that album will forever be universally known

In their prime 50 was for sure bigger

But was also a different climate
