Do You Think DMX and 50 Cent is Bigger a Bigger Artist Than Jay-Z?

 

Spice 1 agrees with Big Gipp that 50 Cent and DMX were bigger than Jay-Z. Jay-Z is considered the Hip-Hop G.O.A.T by many due to his ability, accolades, and longevity. Goodie Mob’s Big Gipp recently disputed that notion, stating 50 Cent and DMX were both bigger than Hov in their primes.

“When 50 came out, I ain’t hear no JAY-Z music — it just stopped playing,” the 49-year-old told The Art Of Dialogue during an interview on Wednesday (Feb. 15). “Come on, bruh! I was there when 50 came out, he shut everything down. And the reason why they didn’t give it to 50, you know why? Because the West Coast did his music. New York has never crowned 50 Cent because the West Coast did his music: Dr. Dre.”

DMX famously released two albums in 1998, It’s Dark And Hell Is Hot and Flesh Of My Flesh, Blood Of My Blood, both of which went No. 1 and outpaced the Brooklyn rapper’s Vol 2… Hard Knock Life, which also came out that year. The Atlanta rapper pointed out that fact, in addition to some of Dark Man X’s cultural impact.
