50 and banks were wilin. Ross definitely dropped better albums. But I think 50 been stopped trying to make great albums before the beef even started. Short term 50 long term ross only because he still keeping it alive.
Too bad fif not that dude in the booth no mo
50 went beyond music and shows, still selling out stadiums off old music.
Ross finding drug dealers unverified sons to hang with and sells wings and dont pay his employees

I think by 2008 - 09, 50 really didn't give a fuck about the rap game like that no more and left that shit up to Banks/Yayo and whoever else was in G-Unit at the time.
Nah 50 started losing relevancy with the Curtis album. When it took him 10 singles to finally have one hit.
I was giving him grace since 2007 he atleast had music that convicts liked Before the blog era completely got fif outta there lol
2007 was the last time a 50 Cent release was an event. And that was partly due to the battle with Kanye.
By 2009 50 Cent was fading out mainstream wise while Ross was gaining momentum. By then 50’s antics were stale combined with the south’s dominance and Ross being one of the top guys in the game that’s how he was able to withstand a lot of the L’s he took outside of music.

That the target is too powerful for them to deal with alone
depends on the framing
We've seen songs topple , redirect, destroy, and revive careers and reputations throughout the decades. ..The 50 Ross conflict related music released wasnt very noteworthy live in action and aint leave a mark...from that framework, its a tie ... thats what I lean into cause they supposed to be rappers
We get into all the extracurricular shit... 50 embarassed his whole squad wholesale and it aint close. The street shit cute till the real deal show up... then niggas start lookin silly n fall in they place

My boy just saw 50/G-Unit performing in Australia, I doubt Ross is regularly performing half way around the world getting that crazy tour money...

Eh, I think it did.
It ain't stop his movement but it left a mark.

Get well soon 🦉🇨🇦
50 is very much still around and successful tho. And the correctional officer shit hurt. Got exposed as a character but he couldn't ditch the role. Had to make it work. To his credit drake did.

If he could be he would. Wt money not anything to scoff at.
I don't think he can go up there w gunplay and make a world tour pop.
And id assume Meek and wale aren't going to be there. Just based off how they've always moved.
But maybe I'm out of touch..
