He would've become big anyway.I don't think he needed Shady/Aftermath, I mean what was his first video gonna be? Thug Love ft. Destiny's Child. And look at other songs such as Material Girl 2000, As The World Turns and maybe even Ghetto Qua'ran are good single material.
Well, you never know. He had that track with J-Lo too, a hit song right there, but he was just another victim of industry bullshit and the guys in charge out Nas on the track instead of 50. Seems like although he was given the chance to do these songs with established artists, they wouldn't give 50 a chance by never putting those songs out. But I too think that the shooting isn't the reason why he's big, but it definately helped to get him a rep going. Plus, it's another dramatic thing to rap about.
If 50 Wouldnt've Been Shot..

The reason 50 blew up was cuz of Aftermath...plain and simple. Just like Eminem. Y'all needta give Dre a lot of credit for helpin' out emcees who might never have a chance. Even if they aren't West Coast, Dre still looks out for the rap game. Hopefully The Game can follow in Em and 50's footsteps.
