    I never get why people try to discredit all the work 50 put in in the past. In terms of catalogue 50 cent got more goat tracks than anyone in your top 5 right now including eminem. Sure his work after Massacre been average but I dont think it was bad enough to rule him out
    Power Of the Dollar
    His countless mixtapes
    Get Rich or Die Trying
    Get Rich or Die Trying Soundtrack
    Massacre
    Plus his work for game and g-unit.
    How is this man not in your Top 5? i honestly feel its because of his personality people dont want to see him win because he is too cocky and arrogant.

    i'd put him in top 15-20, his album discography isn't too great tbh.

    50 is in a weird place, from music stand point he probably top 20...but the influence he had on rap could land him easily in the top 10

    for real, it's like he doesn't even want to try anymore. for a person with his riches he can pull out a classic album with the right amount to top notch producers, features etc. i feel like he doesn't care for music anymore. he's more of a business man nowadays which is sad.

    he could make top 10 though just off the influence of GRODT (my fav album from him) and his mixtapes but i feel like his catalog could be alot better if he focused on himself instead of other people including G-Unit.

    50 has a nice music catalogue and you certainly can't discredit what he has done, but top 5? Nah.

    Maybe top 20, sure, maybe top 10 influence wise but certainly not top 5.

    If 50 continued making great albums after Massacre then he possibly could've been but with Curtis, BISD, Animal Ambition and others under his belt. .. Sorry fif.

    50 isn't in the top 5 because there are at least 5 other people better than him.

    And going by your kindergarten type logic then Snoop is a better artist than 50 because his volume of work.

    He has as many classic albums as biggie so he's in the discussion.. But he's not top maybe top 20 but he's falling off hard as f---.. He became what he hated in the beginning just like em did.. But I can't take grodt or the massacre from him..

    that same argument could be used with tupac and biggie. the only reason they considered top 5 by many people right now (excluding me) was because of their influence at the time and due to the fact that they died
