    Lmfao, no...how much music do you listen to, exactly?

    50 had one great album and one pretty good album well over a decade ago. That's where it ends

    and lol @ acting like his personality turns people off. His personality >>>>>>> his music

    He doesn't even compare to the people I would have to pick him over.
    In New York alone, he'd be competing with Kool G Rap, Nas, Biggie, Jay, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, KRS-One, Ghostface, Raekwon, Rakim, Prodigy....

    Hes in my top 5 of rappers who have been shot 9 times

    He deserves the recognition still he pretty much created the mixtape as we know it and was blackballed from every label and still put out loads of music until Em signed him. Amd GRODT dont have any wack tracks and its 22 tracks long

    no. f--- that. only stans and r-----s with no hip hop knowledge have f---ing 50 pence in their top 5.

    nas, biggie, jay-z, eminem, 2pac, redman, m---, gza, ghost, raekwon, ice cube, black thought, andre 3k, del the funky homosapien, kanye, freddie gibbs, G. Rap, mf doom, lupe, Mos def, Blu, elzhi.. they all rank over 50 cent EASILY

    Love him or hate him Kanye is influential as f--- and is responsible for at least 3 classics. I'm not a big fan either but Kanye has to be ranked over 50 based on impact and consistency. 50 had 1 "classic" (I don't consider GRODT a classic but many do) and then the rest of his catalog is inconsistent and largely s-----y.

    But as a rapper 50 is way better. Dre has two classics and is much more influential too but

    I dont know about that. Ye has more technical ability than 50 and has tackled all kinds of topics. To me kanye is the more versatile and well rounded artist. By far the better lyricist.

    i really feel like alot of 50 Cent fans don't listen to alot of other artists, same goes with Eminem fans.

    judging off of the impact they made in hip hop i'd make this top 5 list right now, just off their albums and how much work they put in. this is not in order btw

    1. Pac
    2. Jay-Z
    3. Nas
    4. Eminem
    5. Lil Wayne


    literally these guys discographies pretty much s----s all over 50 Cent's, these guys got more studio albums out than Fif. i'm not even talking about sales since that's another story.

    50 was never a great rapper he was just a real grimey dude which is why I'll always respect him. He changed the game single handedly by making mixtapes from mainstream rappers popular and his beefs were legendary. But he was never a top 5, 10, 20 rapper of all time. He was just a smart grimey dude
