agree to the fullest. the dickriding of these 2 has surpassed snoops on the westcoast board.

I predict 50's star will fade soon. He is at best an above average rapper, who became a multiplatinum artist because of his connections to Eminem & Dr. Dre. He has sold 4 million records, but doesn't have the talent to hang with the rap elite. His career will be like the Ja Rule's & DMX's... media's favorite for a few years, then eventually fall back from the spotlight. I can't see Eminem going anywhere, though. Most likely, he will continue to put out multi-platinum albums until the day he retires, with every release from his Shady/Aftermath empire going double platinum at least. Everything with his name on it sells these days... It's fucked up but that's the way it is. Peace

-DMX fell off, but he put out 3 pretty tight albums, you cant forget that.

-50 Cent isn't as good as he seems right now.  Without Em and Dre he would just be an above average East Coast rapper.  But with Dre and Em's beats he can still make some pretty hot tracks.  I think his next one or two albums will still sell, but then he will fall off unless he miraculously improves as a lyracist like Eminem has.

-I don't see Em falling off until he retires.  Some people say his old stuff is better than his new stuff, but I think he has just gotten better and better (although I love his old shit) and will continue to do so until he throws in the towel.

peace

I think 50's shine is more temporary...Em's will be more consistent over the long run.
