100 Greatest Nominee Day 67 (C)

50 Cent

I voted Neither. I liked GRODT and some of his underground stuff but "The Massacre" was garbage and "Curtis" wasn't much better. His next album better be dope or he's really going to be in a downward spiral.

Neither. I have heard GRODT somewhat recently and I wasn't feeling it, as well as singles I've heard from other albums. Never really cared for his singles anyway.

I voted top 100 for 50 Cent. Say what you want to now, but he has a lot of material that i still bump on a regular basis.

Power Of The Dollar
Guess Who's Back
50 Cent is The Future
No Mercy No Fear
God's Plan
Get Rich Or Die Tryin
Beg For Mercy

50 Cent is indisputably top 100 with several classic or near classic records, and for you influence guys out there he's been the undisputed king of new york since GRODT.

Curtis is a top 100 hip-hop act of all-time quite easily...not a top 100 lyricist people but ACT..let's get that clear

he's done enough to qualify for this honor, yes he's disgraced himself over the past 5 years pretty consistently by being inconsistent and chasing more and more paper but when you come from nothing and achieve something can you really blame him??

he has one classic (Get Rich Or Die Tryin) and one mixtape classic (The Power Of The Dollar) IMO

he's top 100 man easily!

To me 50 has impact, influence, one classic, rhyme style, and major hits on his side. Beg For Mercy, GRODT, Guess Whos Back, and Massacre are all dope records.

Neither, doesn't have the catalog, he declined quickly once he hit it big.

What constitutes catalog? I know only 1 of his 3 released solos are top 100 worthy, but his mixtapes, group albums, and unreleased albums can't be ignored.

I stopped being very interested in his brand of rap music some time back, so while I've at least downloaded official releases, I haven't checked for any mixtapes he's put out in a few years. The stuff before GRODT was good. But, I've never liked mixtapes much anyway. I don't think the G-Unit albums were that good.

Oh ok. I was just confused. I didn't know if you meant his catalog wasn't long enough or if it wasn't good enough.

Oh, I meant not good enough.

Dropping one classic album hasn't been enough for other emcees.

Neither

I'm on the border with this guy, used to really dislike him as I was on Game's side when they beefed, but putting that aside, you can't deny Power Of The Dollar, Guess Who's Back & Get Rich Or Die Tryin', other than that the man has put out crap for his last 2 albums.

Power of the dollar was his first album actually. The mixtape you're thining about is most likely Guess Who's Back.

50 Cent has been very influential and made a tremendous impact on the rap game. He's one of the fastest rising stars in history, and Get Rich Or Die Tryin was one of the highest selling albums in history, and that was his debut. His "mainstream" debut that is.

If he were rhyming the way that he did on GRODT and before that when he was underground, then I'd vote him Top 50, but his last two albums sucked so I give him Top 100. If his next album is wack, then he'll fall into neither status, but for now I'll say Top 100.

I think I would rank him just outside of the top 100. I enjoyed POTD, GWB, 50CITF, GRODT and like 3 songs from The Massacre...Beg For Mercy wasnt as horrid as people say...I think he's a solid artist..

but...
