The 03 energy around 50 was the biggest hip hop had seen since pac and big . He was everywhere and will never forget it . 50 don’t get enough credit for being one of the dopest rappers of all time
50 was bigger than 2 pac and biggie when he first came out. The buzz generated was something never seen before and never will see again. He was the last real gangsta rapper.
@@krump743 Sorry my dude, but snoop was more anticipated and had a bigger buzz than 50 in 91. Not by much though. And 96 pac coming out of jail was crazy.
The 50 Cent Era Took the whole world by Storm His Swag, His attitude, His Lyrical ability, the perfect hooks for each song... The way 50 made rap look so easy and effortless 50 is a living legend for real.
I’ll give you Swag attitude and perfect hooks with amazing beats. He was definitely the entertainer. But in terms of lyrics Banks was the real lyricist.
@joebloggs5679 one album??? 50 orchestrated 5 back to back multi-platinum albums in a row could've been 6 but gave his tracks for a new album to the game for the documentary at the request of dre and in the midst of all that released debut platinum albums for yayo, banks, and buck each.
50 was dealt the worst cards, cheated death, expanded his businesses, wrote books, produces tv shows/movies, got his name on Hollywoods walk of fame, and is still relevant 20 years later. Nothing but respect for Curtis #itsthekid50cent 💯💯🔥
Fyi he didn't cheat death because he can't cheat death...it wasn't his time that's all. So he needs to realize that and reflect on it...why is he still alive??? Why is he not dead yet. God almighty testing him till this day...and God testing every human being on the planet. because when u die that's it...there's no going back to do right and fix ur mistakes. Ma man this life is just a test for the life after, everything and everyone Will die eventually,,,except for god almighty. So i really recommend to read more about Islam. figure out what should u do to prepare ur self for that day.
I dont think people realise how spot on Dre's words are.

When 50 first came out, others in the rap industry had to step aside and watched 50 shine or go against him. He brought Gangsta Rap to a whole another level made people around the world enjoy rap. TRUE STORY!!
Nah mobb deep brought gangster rap to another level, when every body heard shook one’s it was like nothing u ever heard before. The gritty grimy lyrics were impeccable
50 went ham on Dre's beats when a lot of other east coast rappers had a hard time working with Dre. 50 came on the scene and ripped every beat Dre gave him. That speaks volumes to me as a rapper and a Hip-Hop fan
there's even an interview with Em or Dre where they said they would send him beats almost for fun and as a test what he would do and he made like 4 hits with those beats, Fif is so underrated when it comes to his musical talents, he connected over the world BECAUSE his lyrics weren't hard to decipher
@@tonybullcity8441 50 was Paul and ems signing.... They chucked dre a bone after all what he done for em and it would also guarantee that they got premium beats cos they clearly saw his potential despite the whole of new York being warned not to work with him
Curtis is the definition of a made man in the modern times. A real gentlemen knowing the worth of life and the pain of struggle. Always respected him since I first got his Get Rich or Die Trying album. Of course it was a ripped cd that I got from my class mate. The cd got stolen anyways, but the music is in my memory and one of the more unique ones. Agreed!
All the accomplishments 50 has gave to the game, and people still wouldn't even put 50 in there top 5/ 10 is absolutely beyond me, hes in the conversation for being one of the goats FACTSSSSS
I remember watching MTV back in the day and it was about Eminem signing a new artist which was 50...had the Guess Whos Back cover on the screen...I said "50 Cent who is that?" Downloaded the tape and been a fan ever since
Dr Dre Eminem Snoop and 50 are truly gifted talented people who love what they do that is why they are still on top today cause greatness never fades away they stayed true to who they are. 50 cent brought a whole new level to the art of rap just like Eminem Dr Dre and Snoop there untouchable and unstoppable

As far as that snitching goes, a DJ got a restraining order against Murda inc guys and they still try to play it out like it was 50. They even posted the "paperwork" of 50 being an informant online, which they took off cuz they didnt realize they'd get caught when they put a officers name on the paperwork who doesnt even exist lmao.
I have to say my opinion on this: Tupac isn't a street gangster-rapper, he's a studio gangster-rapper. If you want to know who's the real street gangster-rapper it's 50. 50 may not be affiliated with any sort of gangs like the crips and bloods but he's a street gangster/hustler. The only person in my opinion that can be considered equal to 50 is Eazy-E, and not Tupac. Tupac is the physical definition of Political Hip-Hop, while 50 is the physical definition of Street Gangster Hip-Hop.
Tupac was more of a political activist on wax. Most of the "gangsta attitude" came because of horrible influences like Suge. Unfortunately interscope (Jimmy Iovine) basically let him rot in prison, and suge was the one holding the golden key to freedom. But there was a catch, as always.. Comparing Tupac and 50 is unfair to both of them. Both in different lanes. So I guess we agree mostly. Just sad how circumstances and suge lead such a beautiful artistic person into ganglife, which ultimately lead to his death
2pac fucked Madonna same day he shooted 2 cops. Entire pac's life he spend in court. Pac never be the drugdealer, but pac was the mentor, the mind behind thugz. He is the general, and a general have souljaz, 50 is a soulja, a hustla like nipsey.
The realty about PAC is he was more than street, he was more than political. To try and isolate Pac to one category is 100% inaccurate. If you know anything about Pac you know he’s from a lot of hoods. Baltimore, New York, Oakland, Atlanta, LA etc. Pac was the streets so how could he not be street… To keep it a buc Fif is more than street as well. But I get it some folks love to compare and contrast. Like two things can’t be true. Pac and Fif have several similarities and several differences period. If you pop two crooked cops in the streets how in the hell could you not be considered a street gangsta. Pac did so much righteous stuff in the streets and out the streets his whole swag was gangsta and not just street, but he was an G overall in so many aspects.
@@yousefp3591 Pac was street and political. If you research PAC’s history you will see he definitely did some street stuff he was proud of and wasn’t proud of and of course he get the political spirit from his mom and step pops from them being in the Panthers. I just think it’s crazy some of yall trying to place Pac in one lane. Dude was arguably the most all over the place trying to save the world artist we had. Pac was involved in so much, but definitely he was in the streets. He was actually in the street more than anything in several hoods for the majority of his short life.
@@daweeza42 "you all? What exactly is that supposed to mean? Pac was definitely in his own lane in many ways. No rap aristst was as diverse as he was in terms of the topics he touched upon. Nowhere in the comments I mentioned the word" street "or even" thug". I only mentioned the word gangsta. That he only became (unfortunately) after he got down with knight. Not every street person is a gangsta. Never said he wasn't a thug or no street person. Summarized I have only one sentence for a reply : the hate u gave little infants F's everybody 😉
Whenever I hear people talking about they top 5 I never hear them saying 50. Not saying he should be top 5 for anybody but man he should be up there somewhere if you love hiphop
WHAT MAKES HIM TOP ANYTHING? GRODT IS OVERRATED AND MASSACRE IS TRASH AND HE DIED AFTER THAT. CURTIS TRASH, BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT TRASH, MOVIE STRAIGHT TO DVD SO WHAT MAKES HIM TOP 5 AGAIN?
You talking shit his mixtapes was everywhere especially here in the UK. Long before he signed. Not every one likes comercial rap. They just made him more appealing to the nerds.
You do realize that america was behind but the world was ahead on the 50 frezy back then right? he was huge in other countries before states thats just facts thats why he was so huge his buzz was worldwide
When I was younger I thought 50 was the reason for all the violence that went on in my neighborhood. All the gangster dudes who were always causing trouble and doing awful shtt to people always seemed to be playing his music and reciting his lyrics, so I correlated his music with influencing dudes in a negative way. I resented him for a while because of it.
You were kinda right music can influence emotions but people make their own choices we can’t just blame it on music I mean I use to listen to NBA young boy a rapper and I definitely felt like swinging on people for looking at me wrong but I didn’t act on that emotion people have to have self control
It's true thoooo. I'm from Trinidad an I grew up in a place called laventille an it's already a ghetto neighborhood. But they mostly listened to Jamaica dancehall music back then. But when 50 came out the crime rate an murder rate went bananas
The thing is rappers rhyme words cast spells and sell lies… they are influential people they are literally our voice and a voice we listen to. So what they say whether true or not affects the listeners in some compactly.
@@khelframpton569 I agree man. I saw a rise in gangs and violence when I Many Men, I'll Whip Ya Head, You don't know came out. I grew up in Haiti. I would keep up with the lyrics when the song was on the radio and my friends were impressed because we don't speak English there.

there's even an interview with Em or Dre where they said they would send him beats almost for fun and as a test what he would do and he made like 4 hits with those beats, Fif is so underrated when it comes to his musical talents, he connected over the world BECAUSE his lyrics weren't hard to decipher
They need to get back together
Dr dre cutthroat, he playing chess with Fif. Dre never been loyal.
@@tonybullcity8441 50 was Paul and ems signing.... They chucked dre a bone after all what he done for em and it would also guarantee that they got premium beats cos they clearly saw his potential despite the whole of new York being warned not to work with him
@@lp.shakur but has he been able to put out quality music consistently?
Curtis is the definition of a made man in the modern times. A real gentlemen knowing the worth of life and the pain of struggle. Always respected him since I first got his Get Rich or Die Trying album. Of course it was a ripped cd that I got from my class mate. The cd got stolen anyways, but the music is in my memory and one of the more unique ones. Agreed!

This shit hit different for 90s kids that grew up in queens . 50 was a superhero to us , we had no Superman

Straight young Lion that was eating with the Old heads. If a former member (Bimmy) of the Supreme Team from Queens vouches for you, then you're already a street legend.

Not into rap but respect 50 for being more than a rapper.
50 was destined for greatest no matter what
LIVING LEGEND ✌️
I have to say my opinion on this: Tupac isn't a street gangster-rapper, he's a studio gangster-rapper. If you want to know who's the real street gangster-rapper it's 50. 50 may not be affiliated with any sort of gangs like the crips and bloods but he's a street gangster/hustler. The only person in my opinion that can be considered equal to 50 is Eazy-E, and not Tupac.
Tupac is the physical definition of Political Hip-Hop, while 50 is the physical definition of Street Gangster Hip-Hop.
Tupac was more of a political activist on wax. Most of the "gangsta attitude" came because of horrible influences like Suge. Unfortunately interscope (Jimmy Iovine) basically let him rot in prison, and suge was the one holding the golden key to freedom. But there was a catch, as always..
Comparing Tupac and 50 is unfair to both of them. Both in different lanes. So I guess we agree mostly. Just sad how circumstances and suge lead such a beautiful artistic person into ganglife, which ultimately lead to his death
2pac fucked Madonna same day he shooted 2 cops. Entire pac's life he spend in court. Pac never be the drugdealer, but pac was the mentor, the mind behind thugz. He is the general, and a general have souljaz, 50 is a soulja, a hustla like nipsey.
The realty about PAC is he was more than street, he was more than political. To try and isolate Pac to one category is 100% inaccurate. If you know anything about Pac you know he’s from a lot of hoods. Baltimore, New York, Oakland, Atlanta, LA etc. Pac was the streets so how could he not be street…
To keep it a buc Fif is more than street as well.
But I get it some folks love to compare and contrast. Like two things can’t be true. Pac and Fif have several similarities and several differences period. If you pop two crooked cops in the streets how in the hell could you not be considered a street gangsta. Pac did so much righteous stuff in the streets and out the streets his whole swag was gangsta and not just street, but he was an G overall in so many aspects.
@@yousefp3591 Pac was street and political. If you research PAC’s history you will see he definitely did some street stuff he was proud of and wasn’t proud of and of course he get the political spirit from his mom and step pops from them being in the Panthers.
I just think it’s crazy some of yall trying to place Pac in one lane. Dude was arguably the most all over the place trying to save the world artist we had. Pac was involved in so much, but definitely he was in the streets. He was actually in the street more than anything in several hoods for the majority of his short life.
@@daweeza42 "you all? What exactly is that supposed to mean? Pac was definitely in his own lane in many ways. No rap aristst was as diverse as he was in terms of the topics he touched upon.
Nowhere in the comments I mentioned the word" street "or even" thug". I only mentioned the word gangsta. That he only became (unfortunately) after he got down with knight. Not every street person is a gangsta. Never said he wasn't a thug or no street person.
Summarized I have only one sentence for a reply : the hate u gave little infants F's everybody 😉
50 is the 2000’s
Whenever I hear people talking about they top 5 I never hear them saying 50. Not saying he should be top 5 for anybody but man he should be up there somewhere if you love hiphop
50 the realest ever. PERIOD

While 50 was buzzing in the East Coast he was not known Nationwide or and Worldwide until Em And Dre signed him yeah
You talking shit his mixtapes was everywhere especially here in the UK. Long before he signed. Not every one likes comercial rap. They just made him more appealing to the nerds.
I even I knew about him all the way from kingston jamaica before eminem and Dre 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲

You do realize that america was behind but the world was ahead on the 50 frezy back then right? he was huge in other countries before states thats just facts thats why he was so huge his buzz was worldwide
@@10ORFIVE Even so he would not have got nowhere as big as he did without Em And Dres co signs yeah
When I was younger I thought 50 was the reason for all the violence that went on in my neighborhood. All the gangster dudes who were always causing trouble and doing awful shtt to people always seemed to be playing his music and reciting his lyrics, so I correlated his music with influencing dudes in a negative way. I resented him for a while because of it.
You were kinda right music can influence emotions but people make their own choices we can’t just blame it on music I mean I use to listen to NBA young boy a rapper and I definitely felt like swinging on people for looking at me wrong but I didn’t act on that emotion people have to have self control
It's true thoooo. I'm from Trinidad an I grew up in a place called laventille an it's already a ghetto neighborhood. But they mostly listened to Jamaica dancehall music back then. But when 50 came out the crime rate an murder rate went bananas
The thing is rappers rhyme words cast spells and sell lies… they are influential people they are literally our voice and a voice we listen to. So what they say whether true or not affects the listeners in some compactly.
@@justjon8811 agreed people dont have no self control and want to blame others like children. They hate to be accountable for anything
@@khelframpton569 I agree man. I saw a rise in gangs and violence when I Many Men, I'll Whip Ya Head, You don't know came out. I grew up in Haiti. I would keep up with the lyrics when the song was on the radio and my friends were impressed because we don't speak English there.
Anyone know the name of this documentary please?
I used to work in the same building where 50's office is in midtown. He's one of the nicest and soft spoken guy at least now.
