50 Cent Vs Jay-Z: What REALLY Happened?

50 Cent is not just a rapper - He is an icon, a symbol of NY and the 2000s. Coming from South-Eastern Europe, and growing up there, 50 Cent is a big part of American Culture. He was everywhere, video games, movies, songs, shows - Simply a legend. Few knew Jay-Z as well, but no one cared much about him - it was all 50 & Eminem

Younger generation will never understand how 50 was after get rich or die trying! He was the biggest in the world. Still a top 10 album of all time. It's top 5 for me.

We need a DMX & Jay Z what really happened

The Reebok commercial was so Epic back in the day 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Perfectly said. 50 and Jay. 2 artists that play chess not checkers.

After Nas, Jay was terrified of battling. That's why he became "too big to respond" after that. He knew that another Ether would've destroyed his career.

Haven’t watched it yet, but I’m team 50. I grew up on 50 cent

Man, this was an EXCELLENT recollection of events, nothing was left out & no biased opinions drove the commentary. I've had a LOT of arguments with people over the details pertaining to 50 Cent vs. Jay-Z over the years & it always ends up being with someone who doesn't know the FULL history between the 2.

I’m 41, and Jay Z, Nas, & Eminem were all poppin back when I was in High School. The fact that they’ve stayed relevant throughout the years speaks volumes. Just think of all of the groups that are no longer around anymore.

That sneaker commercial honestly gave us a peak at the greatness that COULD HAVE BEEN😭😭😭bro a 50 and Jay-Z collab?? Or a collab ALBUM? Maane

They used each other to fuel their energy for competition it worked for both respect to 50 n jay ❤💫🤝

Jigga warning his artists about 50 is the coolest and dopest cosign ever.

Just rewatched all the "who really won" and "what really happened" series man you are very great at producing these videos homie

Even Jay knew once he got with Dre and Em he would become unstoppable. And 50 wasn't wrong, he was the reason Jay retired. 50's wave was more like a Tsunami and he would have struggled to gain any market share while 50 was as hot as he was. And snoop saying he's Dre's guy, Em is dre's guy, and 50 is Em's guy.

Yeah this was definitely worth the wait! Thank you for all the hard work, research and detail that goes into these. You’re a legend man

I'm from central America Belize and I must say that I love your VS series bro. I always look forward to seeing new ones. Keep it up bro

50 did say on his debut album, track six, he going after "nas and jigga both for the throne."

Bruh at this point you should have more than a milli subs. I've been tapped in with your shit for years. Thank you for all the hard work you put just to instill some rap knowledge and facts into us (the fans). I've always seen Fif as the enemy in many of his rivalries but this account made me see a whole different perspective of the man and I have nothing but utmost respect for the brother (thanks to this episode). Idk if you could do a 50 Cent VS T.I. what really happened cause they been having their minor issues over the years as well.

Yo, Check the Patreon. I Already posted a whole List of Suggestions for BOTH Series. Way ahead of U.💯

This was a great video. As a fan of both 50 and Jay, it always seemed like friendly competition, was no real beef, 2 rap/businessmen competing for the top spot
