Eminem, in 50 Cent’s opinion, has influenced hip-hop more than Jay-Z.
An edition of Shaquille O’Neal’s brand-new podcast, The Big Podcast, featuring former NBA player Jamal Crawford, aired on January 12. Hip-hop came up during the discussion when Crawford used the influence of Jay-Z and Eminem on culture to connect the ranking of his top five NBA players to hip-hop artists.
Crawford stated, “My five, the dominance outweighs the number,” at 43:15 in the video (see below). “You cannot alter the game so that I lose because this player has more points than me. It goes beyond that. Hip-hop is more impacted by Jay-Z than by whatever album sales that Eminem may have. That’s the nature of things.”
After reading about the discussion on an Instagram blog on Sunday, January 22, 50 Cent made the decision to add his thoughts in the comment section.
He wrote, “Ha bullsҺit,” and included an emoji of a sneeze.
Since Shady signed 50 Cent in the early 2000s, the two have been members of Team Eminem, and they have never parted. Fif disclosed earlier this month that he is developing an 8 Mile television series.
Regarding the program, which would be based off Eminem’s 2002 film of the same nаme, 50 Cent stated, “I think it should be [Eminem’s] his legacy.” It matters to me that they comprehend it. You remember when Steve Stout used to refer to America’s listening to Black music as “the tanning of America”? And the reason that everyone feels as though they can appreciate and enjoy the culture is actually because it is losing its vibrancy. Since kids witness someone who is respected and welcomed, it encourages them to join in as well.”
50 has previously stood up for Eminem’s honor against Hov. When it was announced in April of last year that Eminem will not play at the Jigga-curated 2022 Suρer Bowl halftime performance sans 50, he called out Jay-Z.
