even if 50 flops (which he wont, those predictions are B.S.) he would still have the bragging rights over jay-z to say he sold over 10 million copies twice ( G.R.O.D.T.=12 mil, The Massacre 10 mil) and jay-z has never did that once.. the highest jay sold on 1 album was like 5 mil or something

50 gave his fans what they wanted and the streets,but thats not what mainstreet wanted..Everybody so used to listening to POP,R&B, and Dance Music, nobody wants to listen to gangsta music anymore and most of the ppl that do usually download...Jay album is commerical he has alot of R&B artist on his album...jay not hood anymore...50 keeps it hood!

First off, 50 has sold more records than Jay, did he not? Second 50 has sold over 10 mill. twice with two records only!!! Third fifty's latest album was for the core fans, hardcore, in particular and was a straight for the street album, to the street niggas. Jay's album was more commercial, with a lot of R&B, Pop, sugar-rap, and a general appeal to white people. As a side note to this I don't remember fif was called out by some random white b**** like Jay-z was, talking about when that Jay-z song come on and s*** in a song, son. i never heard fifs music be called pop like Jay-zs. Jay, got more money, but he has no friends, hell he barely has "artists". Look at Beanie Sigel, Cam'ron, Freeway, Bleek, and Kanye (this n**** is fruity, and when Jay is either done f****** him, or he realize what jay is all about, he will be dumped.) This n**** doesn't look like he stays connected to his roots. What's up with Bey looking like a white b****? I understand record sells but should there be a limit to what one should do to maximize profits? Jay-z has been accused and proven to bite other rappers s***, especially Big's s***. I've yet to hear someone say fifty does that. Jay-z rides other niggas coat tails, fifty makes his own. Jay-z seems to be a constant contradiction, say autotune is dead yet support mohawks, tight jeans, and fruity lip-stick wearing niggas, how you saying you support hip-hop cuz? You support this by supporting Kanye and "friends" (Lil Wayne.....stop sucking baby's d***!!!). fifty has always been what he shows himself to be, a rugged one time street n**** (One-time meaning he once was a street n****, he came from the streets man no bs included, shot niggas and everything he came from the streets and he knows where he come from.) What's up with Jay and the Freemason conspiracy s***????? ??? ??? Why is this n**** not on an island somewhere with his old ass? Why is the n**** portarying himself on Oprah differently than he does on wax, f*** the oprah and white people factor, why you pander to whatever group you address or is watching you but never take a definitive stand on what you stand for or believe in, rubix cube n****? Jay need to get a backbone like fifty, and stand for something, right or wrong at least you know where fifty stands, does anyone truly knows what Jay-z stands for outside of himself? That's all I got to say. Peace to all.
