As far as commerical success goes, obviously Jay-Z has that in the bag. 50's doing his thing and he's made millions, but even he realizes he doesn't get much love in New York. To be the King of NY, the city has to love you more than they dislike you, not the other way around. Between Yayo's flop and the Soundtrack not doing too good in sales, G-Unit's falling off big time. Olivia's album flopped so much, they haven't even released it Twist It generated no buzz and neither has "So Sexy", video and all. I don't know what planet your living on but it aint here, the Soundtrack to GRODT has sold more than 970,000+ Units, JAY-Z has a big rep in hiphop, but 50 has gone WAYYY "BEYOND" Jay-Z and thats FACT, 50 has mad love in NYC at least his concerts are still FULL in NYC, Olivia's LP couldn't have flopped scince it was never released, hate it or love it 50 is the BIGGEST Rap star pieriod, his shows are packed to the fullest, he gets $500,000 a show when was the last time JAY-Z or NAS EVER got that,(and if u say they have please provide the source?)

nas > 50, ja, shyne, jada, fat joe, and any other rapper from new york...or any other rapper period
^ pretty sums it up, 50 can't even come close to the level nas is on, but I do enjoy listening to 50's old shit, imagine if he still rapped like that, still kicking it with nas, fuck rapping bout the money, getting his lyrical level up, that would be fucking dope....
