    50 Cent is not just a rapper - He is an icon, a symbol of NY and the 2000s. Coming from South-Eastern Europe, and growing up there, 50 Cent is a big part of American Culture. He was everywhere, video games, movies, songs, shows - Simply a legend. Few knew Jay-Z as well, but no one cared much about him - it was all 50 & Eminem

      Wow! This is good to know. I really would’ve thought Jay z was just as popular as 50. Did you attend 50’s concert, or are you here in the US? I think he’s in Europe touring?

      @mash_amba Před 5 měsíci +7

      Was living in Africa and Europe at the time too, 50 cent was bigger there. I only heard Jay-Z's Take Over and Nas' Ether played back to back then later I personally sought out Jay's and Nas' albums. Pac, 50, and Em were always popular abroad including their associates by extension Outlawz, NWA, G-Unit plus Game, D12, slaughterhouse etc. I later moved stateside and saw how big Jay has always been here.

      We are talking about 50 and not Eminem. 50 is not in most peoples top 5 but Jay on the other hand is, and he's usually at number one. 50 had a lot of hits but not one of his albums can touch the BLUE PRINT. No one is playing Eminems music the clubs however, 50 & Jay's music still goes hard today. I do agree with you however, that Eminem sold more units than Jay Z.

    14:18 Jay-Z did kind of respond a little to 50 Cent's Be A Gentleman, in his song Streets Is Talking "If I shoot you, I'm brainless, different toilet, same shit and I'm sick of explainin' this" a reference to when Jay-Z said the line in his song Streets Is Watching but also a shot at 50 Cent as 50 Cent twisted the lines in Be A Gentleman. Also when Jay-Z says "You wanna conversate wit the writer of the Qur'an or old Testament, don't test him then" another shot at 50 Cent as well as his song Ghetto Qu'ran

This beef between these two record labels had two of the biggest names in rap, and it would be nice if you could make a video about it because there’s a lot that happened in the West Coast vs East coast beef. Tupac vs B.I.G.. Tupac telling Nas in his face that he dissed him and everybody such as Jay Z, everything about that beef. I really enjoy your videos because you are like a Journalist when it comes to beef and history of hip hop.

Glad to see these two acted like grown adults the whole time instead babified 5 year-olds resorting to Neanderthal violence.

      @@williefaulker Without a doubt. Especially, from someone like Ye who has a history of erratic behavior, rants, outbursts and also hitting others with shrapnel because he's passionate about an issue/event.
      There's many people, especially those who aren't hip hop heads and/or fans, still view Ye, as Kayne West from the Taylor Swift award show incident.
      While it's a more trivial issue. And not like I care about award shows, pop music or Taylor Swift for that matter.
      But, whether I agreed with him or not that Beyonce should of won the award & sure af wasn't watching it live. Lol.
      My wife watches all those award shows, and do remember her calling me in from another room when it happened.
      Regardless if Beyonce should of won or not, Taylor Swift didn't have anything to do with it. If I remember correctly, she was still a teenager & it was the 1st award she had ever won.
      Ffs, I think most people know that award shows are usually bs & a lot of times those who should win haven't.
      Even the George Bush comment, saying he don't like Black people. Lol. I know that most just took that part of the clip & ran with it, instead of going back and watching the entire interview & understanding what he meant by it. That's the snippet that the media is gonna run with.
      And as an MC who knows the importance of putting words together, he's never been great at putting a message out.
      Him playing the victim is tiresome when the reason he doesn't get taken serious or that some will always just say "it's kayne being Kayne again" is his own damn fault.
      This situation is pretty similar. When you go & group an entire race, religion, color etc. By saying "Jew" or "Jewish", automatically you're gonna piss of the majority of the Jewish community, the same way you would if you said "black" "white" "Hispanic" "Asian" etc.
      It's on the messenger to be more nuanced about who or what they are specifically referencing. The onus isn't on the listener to put on their Ye decoder ring on & analyze what he's saying.
