How Do You Rate 50 Cent (Skills/Impact/Discography)
- Thread starter 5 Grand
- Start date
I was thinking about how much the game has changed since I was a teenager in the 80s.
50 was a capable rapper, not the best but good enough. He knew how to make hits. So for the first category, Skills, I'll give him a B+
His impact was immense, so I'll give him an A
His discography was solid. I'm counting his first mixtape 50 Cent Is The Future, Get Rich Or Die Trying, Beg For Mercy, and The Massacre. Those 4 albums give him a solid B+, but he has more albums when he was still in his prime and in the media spotlight, but those albums weren't as good.
When it's all said and done, I'll say 50 Cent is Top 20-30 imo
There are some rappers that can rap better than 50 imo
Very few rappers made the same impact (Snoop, 2Pac, Biggie, Eminem, etc.)
Good discography from 01-05 when he was in his prime but it didn't last as long as Jay or Nas

I’d say top 20-30. Top 15 could be argued though. Few rappers have dominated the underground and commercial side of rap like 50 did. Wayne might be the only one that can rival what 50 did in the mixtape market and far as record sales. Eminem was the only one moving the type of units 50 was at his height.
