50 cent is not only a great rapper but a great businessman

[@rmh116]

theres a big difference between "favorite" rappers and "best" rappers

[@BroHomeless]

nobody is disputing that

[@FOODREVOLUTION360]

Exactly.

[@ArMiNiSfUCkinRedicK]

Off course...favorite is strictly a personal preference....best, while still dependent on personal preference, is suppose to be based on technical skill...to some also accomplishmens matter.....not me (In no order, my top 5...cant do anyone dirty) Kool g rap Rakim Mf doom Nas Shady *stacks or az as 6th man* Those are not only my favorites...but who i think are best from a rap technique standpoint...

[@redfloyd69]

Tupac, BIG, Nas and Rakim are widely considered the best rappers. What are you talking about?

[@9WakeUp11]

KRS ONE is the greatest

[@soniaalvarez9600]

i dont know why but i love his voice. the tone of it

[@GoodxJ]

KRS ONE! Did not expect that out of 50, hell yeah!

[@Pyro-Moloch]

why not? He's always shouting him out. Even used his song in his movie.

[@BroHomeless]

Hes of that generation that looked up to KRS. What do you think he was listening to at that time?

[@richdude8150]

50 generation respected OGs ..not like this generation

[@radulaurentiu1307]

really?? even in get rich or die tryin he used "9mm" krs one song sick song i love it and 50 played perfect in that movie

[@ronaldjames7843]

Krs one also shouted out 50 & was rapping In da Club lyrics on a IG post wishing 50 a happy birthday as well. They both got respect for each other

[@Mordred1337]

fifty looks sooo happy :D

[@Adamassmilk]

[@Makaylalb]

At least he named nas

[@fabiyiadewole4157]

I agree with you

[@skillzyahu1974]

Michelle white nose is really his number one period. He just feels like Nas sold him out .. He kept it real though

[@mgonzalezjr1986]

I never knew 50’s favorite rapper was KRS! Makes me respect 50 that much more!

[@SageofSorrow]

lol I knew it! 50 knows deep down in his heart he still respects Nas. He brings him up in EVERY interview. He never even really responded to any of the nas disses that followed "piggybank" even though he stated that song was a warning shot to anyone who tried to retaliate. He also always seems genuinely hurt whenever he speaks of Nas, like he lost a good friend(even when he tries to insult him).

[@youngbrandon654]

A year after this interview, they made peace 🔥

[@dominiquejones3805]

Hes never denied it

[@emmad.176]

50 seems like a really nice guy. I know he has a past and flaws but he seems like a good, funny dude who sadly rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

RESPECT TO MY HOMIE 50 R.I.P 2PAC

[@dominiquejones3805]

Even after they been 50 has never denied Nas

[@theloniousmiles4646]

These days when rappers disrespect each other on tracks it's because it's either out of jealousy, pure hate, or they simply think one is a chump on the mic. Y'all noticed how the guys who beefed with Nas throughout his career (50, Jay, Prodigy, etc) list him as one of their favourites regardless of their differences? It's because they came at him like they were contenders, out of respect, challenging a champion. Nas is the greatest of all time - and any of your favourite rappers' favourite rappers will tell you that he is their favourite MC.

[@TheHumanBallsack]

Big beefed with him but he loved him, so did Pac.

[@kevinzhang6623]

Exactly, they have business disputes that they can't resolve so they go to war in the studio. At that point, you need to fight back in order to save your career.

[@ElMufro]

KRS One is STILL #1

[@true8189]

Dan Tuzolana Nas didnt start it with Pac .. Pac dissed him coz of The Message line "there can be only 1 king" but that was for Biggie for king of NY or something like that .. i think .. so Pac misunderstood that and killed Nasir with Against all Odds..and i think Pac and Nas was about to work together before that .. so .. what few words can do ..
