Did 50 Cent Kill NYC Hip Hop? | Everyday Struggle

[@timkruse9912]

New York Radio killed NYC Hiphop smh

[@krisj827]

Tim Kruse yep

[@MariGonzalez-yp8yw]

POINT BLANK PERIOD!

[@kdot5375]

Yep. They never wanted to support their local artists

[@NewEarthSon]

Tim Kruse Its really Corporations buying nyc radio stations and telling them what to play killed nyc hiphop. Cant break new artist from your state if your playing a billboard top 10 every hour. Cant create a new york mainstream spund if all you play on the radio is the hotest nyc artist at the time and then atl music. However thanks to the internet, nyc hiphop has no excuse any more for following the south style. But they are. Maybe from copying rhe south nyc can develop something new from it to call our own

[@SplashyLaflare]

Tim Kruse 💯

[@702mikey5]

This video is so disrespectful towards 50. He has one of the most iconic albums ever in hip hop.

[@Kratos-bf2jg]

Lol they weren't disrespecting him

[@rickyspanish3053]

Complex fans are hipsters...

[@barshookshiphoptv3727]

His first 2 albums were really good after those albums his music been trash. Yes he had hits but his run that's keeping him on top is shit he doing outside of music. 50 stopped ja on some sucka shit when ja had the radio on smash than the fan out of no where started rocking with all these dumb ass record coming out the south

[@jblack5323]

Mikey Neptune for white people. Hip hop reached a plateau in 96/97 and it tailed off. 50 is trash and overrated.

[@zachcate7102]

j black what are you talking about

[@tylerrodriguez7772]

50 was one of the only legit rappers of the 2000s.. He's a legend you can't say he killed any form of hip hop

[@354allday]

Tyler Rodriguez He did by being petty beefing with anyone who stood next to Ja on sum Mean Girls shit

[@barshookshiphoptv3727]

I hate 50 cent fans to a degree cause y'all treat him like he some type of saint or something stop ignoring the fact he got hot because he damn near died ppl act like he wasn't a rat and was trying to stop music out of ny get they shine

[@354allday]

Bars&Hooks HipHopTV Facts his whole gimmick was being shot,they still bring that up til this day

[@MyroYT]

JERU thats the dumbest shit ive heard in my life holy shit

[@354allday]

Myro What u said was simple minded get shot and talk about it like it's accomplishment. I only quoted the sneak diss Jay took at 50 y'all respect the person who gets shot I respect the shooter

[@chachisadventures3378]

50 IS NY HIP HOP...FOH even thinking he killed it. The fans control what's popping and not popping.

[@TheRoshayShow]

BIG CHACHI although I would agree that 50 didnt kill it, I wouldn't necessarily say that fans always control what's popping and whats not. For example, many new age artists are big because people have come to accept what's big. You know how many people say music is trash, until it keeps getting played and then they start feeling it? (Including myself). Its one of those things that media like the radio stations have big power over

[@lioneljohnson3722]

BIG CHACHI 50 and Jay z is NY hip hop

[@chachisadventures3378]

Meteor Bars yep Jay too

[@walthug607]

Rakim,Big L, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Wu -tang, Big Pun, Biggie Smalls, Nas, Mobb Deep,Krs 1, The Lox and many other are New York hip hop over 50 cent. In the words of Jada Kiss dissing 50 "Your not the King of New York , You live in Connecticut'

50 made music for clubs

[@Gogetta80]

😂

[@MostMorose]

50 Cent changed the game to a more melodic sound it was balanced he had that gangsta shit and melodic shit. He raised the bar on how to make a rap hit in the early 2000's I remember when his debut came out he was the biggest rapper in the world his debut was unlike anything else before it. I'd say he was one of the people who pushed hip hop even more into the mainstream. Everybody knows "In Da Club" even your grandparents did if they ever heard it at least once.

[@sabot4g3]

you mean bonethugs and the Memphis underground?

[@MostMorose]

JO7FUL ? Bone Thugs and Harmony are legends too

[@cesarporras9255]

JO7FUL ? But who had more success tho? 50 changed it and had the wave way better

[@edub4204]

The same shit he accused Ja for doing.

[@barshookshiphoptv3727]

Hazel Ninja wrong! 50 ain't do shit but copy ja rule. Ja had the radio on mash doing the sing shit for years ja has waaay mor hits than fif. Fif copied ja doing the candy shop that shit was garbage the only dude from ny the perfected the melodic sound was Max b. The south stole Max b wave an is winning with it an is shitting on ny when they should be thanking ny because Max b formula has everyone using I don't care who u are or where u from if you song is on the radio today Max b influence is in. Max didn't blow up because he got locked up

[@mexmurda976]

50 held it down for hip hop when it was at its lowest (2000’s) 50 is a legend

[@mexmurda976]

La Flamin Boomin #FuckjcoLe when I said 2000’s I meant that whole decade including the mid 2000s. Hip hop was getting dry after 97

[@MostMorose]

Same for Lil Wayne and Kanye and TI

[@MostMorose]

Mid 2000's was when it was at its lowest.

[@mexmurda976]

La Flamin Boomin #FuckjcoLe you trippin. If you compare how many great hip hop albums there were 2000-2005 to 2010-2015 you’d see that 2010s is a better era for hip hop. Old school rappers like Scarface and too short even call this era the second golden era

[@mexmurda976]

La Flamin Boomin #FuckjcoLe bruh how can you even argue that early mid 2000s wasn’t a bad era? Jay Z brought mafioso rap to an end, biggie was gone, Pac was gone, lollipop rappers were coming up, hip hop was losing its grittiness, most 90s rappers had lost their touch etc. late 2000’s was good that’s why 2010s are great. Hip hop got back on track this decade

[@wackwallkilla]

50 is the LAST of the gangster rap generation, one of the godfather's even the OGs say the same

[@cokoblaze]

So we just gonna ignore Nas and Jay-Z right before that, Jay-Z and Prodigy, Beanie (know it's Philly) and Jada, Roca-Fella dissing everybody in NY, to the point where half the time we didn't even know the person they were talking about (ex: Jayo Felony).....but we gonna blame 50. All them upcoming artist that roca-fella dissed never made it either. Then they mention unity in the south.....Jeezy vs. Gucci, TI vs. Flip (and a bunch of others). Didn't Boosie literally (get charged with) kill the dude that he was beefing with? Jeezy vs. Ross (BMF issues). Point is, hip hop has always been competitive, 50 didn't do anything new, so you can't blame him for doing what everyone else did.

[@juicyjay8642]

They don’t hear you though!

He told AK don't say a fucking word

[@pSmurf954]

How To Rob... And bruh did yall not forget that 50 beefed with every nigga in NY? Jada, Fat Joe(shout out to Terror Squad) Ja, Nas, Jay and any nigga that did a song or had any ties to Murder Inc. But at the same time its on the Dj too. If the only thing you play is Aftermath/Shady, then what do expect. Your Dj's were not supporting your own artists. And at the same time, the shift in culture and the real fact that NY lost it. Period.

[@TheBrob1983]

Bobby shmurda couldve revived ny hip-hop with his NY inspired sound as a national hit but then got arrested. Young MA then came back with a banger but she dont have the image. Bobby was the perfect dude but messed it all Up

[@omegashenron8]

There were a lot of artists that could have brought it back that were making noise and trying to bring it back 2007-2011, Tru Life, Uncle Murda, French, Max B, Stack bundles, Ra Diggs. Problem was all them dudes got locked or killed except for Uncle murda and French. French the only one that popped off and he sold out. In recent times like you said bobby was the one that should have brought it back. Tekashi kind of did but he's a fraud and is merely an image created by a collective of people.

[@yaboyaang5639]

Aaron Murrell Wasn’t really NY inspired, Hot Nigga sounded a lot like a Chicago Drill song

[@reppinNY]

Nah bobby wanted to be chief keef of NY he was lowkey inspired by sosa

[@TheJoshua9965]

And one other thing. Outkast Speakerboxxx/The love Below was out in 03/04 too. That was the biggest album in the world and solidified Atlanta as the new mecca in Hip Hop. They are the only hip hop group to this day to win Album of the Year at the Grammys. That killed NY hip hop. All eyes were on the A from that point forward.

[@MrCbwTV]

It also encouraged a lot of rappers to sing mediocre.

[@flyking6622]

Jay-Z and 50 Cent killed NYC RapJay-Z vs Nas/Mobb Deep was the first wave in the NYC beefing that ended the relevancy of the city. When Jay retired, 50 Cent vs everybody in NYC was the deathblow, which left the gate open for the South to takeover. Jay-Z started embracing the south rappers; T.I., Lil Wayne, Rick Ross. With Jay-Z running Def Jam, he shelved a lot of New York albums, which is why DMX, LL Cool J and even Budden dissed him

[@TheBrob1983]

Fly King Jay never retired he dropped how many more albums after the g-unit murder inc beef

[@jman1562001]

Well a lot of NY rappers on Def Jam got zero promo (Ghostface, Meth, LL Cool J, DMX, etc.) while Kingdom Come was getting all type of promo so that's one point. But I think the up and coming NY rappers could not surprass the cats who came before. Fab is cool, but he ain't Jay!!! Kiss keep it street and is lyrical, but Nas is next level!!! Busta and Fat Joe had hits thru the South run so NY wasn't not getting attention. The NY mixtape rapper of 2000 just didn't make DOPE records for the time. NY producers got neglected and NY DJs started playing all type of South rappers PERIOD!!!

[@blackwisdom528]

TheBrob1983 Jay Z was retired during G-Unit's dominance(2004-2006). Jay held New York albums back at Def Jam while 50 was destroying the city with Rap Beef.

[@ulyssesgarcia-ramiez3785]

Honestly 50 Cent and Kanye killed NY hip hop, that sales competition really ended 50's run, while Kanye was taking in the glory

[@RoddyRodbb]

Fly King damn good point

[@Brucewayne-dr6hr]

Actually NY got too Devided and everything started sounding the same, most of the music was murder music. The people wanted a break from all of that, they wanted music that was fun and carefree and that's when the south swept them off their feet. The slogan is real and it goes for everything, together we stand and divided we fall.

[@barshookshiphoptv3727]

The south was paying dj to play they shit they didn't get they shit popping like that every where because they shit was that hot or good yes they had the strip clubs on lock but getting international play they payed djs and the east coast didnt do shit like that that's why the game fucked up now

[@Brucewayne-dr6hr]

[@tonyjones-clark4960]

NY had desencion way before 50. That was partly why Eminem said he signed 50 cent. "It was the same beefs and the same crews"- Eminem. 50 cent was a breath of fresh air for Eminem; even B.I.G. mentions this in an interview. Where he says "I thought all these rappers I saw in the magazine's where friends and hanging out together " . He was like(while shaking his head) "It is not like that ". Alliances were already made before 50 got in the game. It was just that alliances got tested when 50 was beefing with JaRule. You can't credit 50 for the decline in New York Hip Hop- he is NY Hip Hop. Peace!

"These rappers keep sayin' they're bringin' New York back. I ain't go nowhere I am New York, jack." - 50 Cent

[@Double_S.R.]

Joe was on point! I agree with Budden 💯

[@doomassthenightcrawler]

Joe out here schooling the whole shits

[@MCC2110]

This is the best debate I’ve seen so far, a debate with AK goes nowhere

[@hiphoploverjon9180]

No, record companies in NY did when they started signing southern ringtone rappers.

[@barshookshiphoptv3727]

HipHopR&BLover Jon that's part of it cause they stop looking at talent an wanted rappers who they can control with those 360 deals an selling out for money

[@tunesmithdainfinitytunegat1691]

50 got a real tv show that's what he supposed to do in his position. It's the cultivation of people they learned the game and played the light dark thing. They didn't see the battles being fought to stop progress in people

[@selfmadetv7856]

music evolution killed hip hop

[@selfmadetv7856]

Its barely Hip Hop anymore. Rapping still exists tho

[@dossdipstv9322]

50 would always say " I ain't gonna let y'all eat" after each song haha

[@buttermadetv]

Yes 50 has a hand in it...

[@mjperkins5400]

MJ Perkins here. CEO of Fenty Entertainment! The culture of New York hip-hop at the striving to wanting to be the "King of New York" created a grab in the bucket syndrome which lead to the demise of an entire culture. And there was hot underground acts that should of come up that yall never did pick up like Mos Def and Talib. Like Showbiz and AG.

[@truthentertainment2889]

50 cent didn't kill NYC hip hop. NYC let hip hop die by follow the Down South trends and not keeping NEw York, New York.. That's what happened...

[@laurynjones4845]

50 snitch did by beefing with every damn body in NYC. And that allowed the south to take over and capitalize that's why down south took over just look at 50 snitch now still problematic as hell.

[@Maulleygxxx]

Funny how Joey barking at Akademiks, but mad mellow with Maino 😂🤣

[@1989-u3r]

Ebro be on some new crack wave

[@dugnice]

It's ridiculous to think 50 Cent caused the decline of NY Hip Hop. 50 is right, and Joe to the extent where he rightfully states that NY artists and radio programmers didn't support each other. What's crazy is that they USED to. I remember the mid to late 90s when all the NY rappers stuck together and did features with each other and THAT's what got them hot. At some point that unity stopped and it was BEFORE 50 came to prominence.

[@maybesomaybenot8250]

After biggie died, all them collaborations suddenly stopped in NY. Only artists that were on the same labels worked together with each other. New York also had more rap beefs than usual at the time so artists eventually had to pick sides which led to artists not working together anymore.

[@conduitofthegospeldarrellb9154]

50 was ONE of the larger more complex reasons NY hip hop fell the fuck off in the mid 00's BUT he wasn't the sole reason. There was a lot of unnecessary beef in and out the booth that paralyzed the city! The southern movement was gonna happen REGARDLESS. Too much momentum...

[@liveevil238]

It's a combination of things, not just 5cent...you got the Labels, radio program director & DJs that played a part in it..

[@TheLuw1997]

How could one of the greatest New York rappers kill NY hip hop?! It died because New York rappers had a standard that was too high for them to stay in the mainstream. Whereas Atlanta rappers just wanted to be put on and made club music. 50 influenced 100's of rappers that we rate today so if anything, he helped keep it somewhat alive. Look at Young M.A. or Casanova or ASAP Ferg. Clearly influenced by 50.

[@TheLuw1997]

JERU No it didn't

[@barshookshiphoptv3727]

Nigga you dumb the south paid djs to play they shit it's called payolla ny don't do that shit! That's why all that corny snap music gay ass tight jeans shit started!

[@konchus2]

complex need to give maino a show

[@cam_1934]

Yo maino schooled Joe. I've been saying this whole time all Joe does is speak theories rarely any facts. Always what he assumes and believes whatever he assumes.

[@therealgunner5488]

It wasn't 50's fault. People don't even give him enough credit for putting Banks and Yayo on and helping them go platinum (Who are New York artists). Also factor in that hov retired and Nas was underwhelming after ether. The south just took over.
