Best Artist Em has ever signed to Shady records?

[Snakebeast]

Yeah you can't re write history all these Yela fans on here can talk about they think this or that but you can never re write history what 50 did from 2003-2008 was outta this world as far as impact, classic material. He left a legacy. IF Yelawolf makes impact sells records, makes a classic praise can be given then but i can't ever see him coming anywhere close to what 50 did.

Again... I love Yela but he can't go near to what 50's done for hip-hop or let alone Shady. I'd give it up to Yela over 50 in some departments but that's definitely not enough. 50's legacy is enormous indeed... & the way he took over NY way before Em signed him.

My main issue with Yela is his voice and the fact he tries to sing but can't at all. Don't get me wrong i'm not gonna say 50 is some amazing singer when he does hooks but he makes them sound good where as Yelawolf can't sing nor harmnize at all. I also don't like that flow i kno he sticking to his southern roots the way he flows but i just can't get into it.

Are you deaf? Tennessee Love? Radio? Box Chevy Part 4? And 50's flow is laughable when compared to Yela's. He compromises so much of his lyrics just so he can "ride the beat" i.e. Psycho (where the last two lines made no fucking sense). Though I do agree that 50 has definitely had a huge cultural impact, far more than Yelawolf. But in all aspects as a rapper, Yelawolf>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>50 Cent.

Easily Yelawolf.

50 off the hook man... nobody will ever touch him. Just his fist 3 years at Shady are untouchable...let alone all of it.

What he's 'done' for hip-hop?

What has he done for it lol.

Just because he was huge doesn't mean he added anything of value.

He popularized hyper-thuggish, dumb bravado and imagery... not much else.

A couple of good albums, brought a few people into hip hop (ie. me) and there is just his reputation. He is one of the biggest names in music.

Compared to other people, he hasnt really contributed much no but he is still a big part of hip hop.

The fact that you just said Yelawolf can't sing or harmonize means you don't know a THING about Yelawolf's music. Sorry but you're more wrong than your first post in this thread.

lmao yelawolf is just a new school fad that will never hit radio 50 is a legend

[the real slim shady]

I will refer to Yela as the marmite rapper now, people either love him or dont give a fuck.

@ EminemBase Sterotyping like that is the same thing people wgho lets say critisize RElapse for it being based on serial killing, rape, murder do. Not cool homie. Street Rap has been apart of Hip Hop culture from day one with Kool G Rap, NWA, Ice T, Mobb Deep, Nas, The Lox. Alotta people from the type of enviroment in the inner city have to live a certain way. All 50 is doing is rapping about what he knows, voicing his life. You may not identify or be able to connect but it is small minded to say what you did about it just being bravado, fake etc.

I NEVER said 50 isn't a legend wtf? I love 50. I'm just saying that Yela CAN sing and CAN harmonize. In my eyes, he can do so better than 50 too. Even though 50 is pretty good at it as well..

Okay, well then if you disagree... display how I'm wrong.

Other than bravado and gangster imagery... what else did 50 contribute?

(all those other people you mentioned contributed a new era, wave or style of lyricism, or SOMETHING artistically. 50 didn't.)

He contributed 1 of the greatest Hip Hop albums in Get Rich Or Die Tryin, artistically great delivery, great hooks, great flow, good word play. The fact Eminem said he felt like retiring from rap after he first heard 50's music because he was so impressed by his music. That should tell you enough. Good song writting>>>>>anything you said. Name me a 100% street rapper/gangster rapper before 50 cent that would harmonize hooks? name me another rapper that created 1 of the greatest party anthems that can rock a party to this very day like In Da Club? name a rapper that rides and sounds like heaven on Dre beats like 50 does besides Snoop?

Get Rich is a good album, not 'one of the greatest'...

Artistically great delivery?

You mean slurred, lazy flows with embarrassingly corny, predictable and repetitive lyrics?

Where's his great concepts, where's his songs that you can look back on in 50 years and say 'that was 50's time"... In Da fucking club?... are you serious... you could argue I'm just picking on a single, okay, where's his ingenious album tracks lmao? His album tracks are WORSE than his singles.

As for a 'party anthem'... I don't qualify a rapper based on things like that. Things like that are superficial and easy. It's not hard to create a catchy song that is big in parties COUGH TIPSY.

He's created no true masterworks, contributed no great leaps forward stylistically or artistically, presented nothing new or original, created no great concepts... all he's done is rap really bad-average lyrics about 9's and ho's over good beats. The only thing I would concede is good hooks. He was at times very good at hooks, and Power of the Dollar is pretty awesome... but other than that; his fame was made off the back of his cinematic and thuggish image and story, and the endorsement of Eminem and Dr. Dre. He's not a great artist, and has contributed nothing of great worth.

He's not a great rapper even. Are you seriously gonna try and argue his rhymes or even... lyrics themselves are or ever were revolutionary or truly something new lmao? Even in 2003 they were a step backwards. I don't care what Em said. Em signed fucking Ca$his, so, what's that worth lmao.

[Kill You]

As a rapper, Yelawolf probably. Just based on pure talent and lyricism. But for the label it would have to be 50 Cent. He did the most for it.

Yela >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I like how you put Stat, Cashis and Creek in this list, but not in the worst list. SMH

[BlueberryWun]

@ Eminembase just cus you don't think it's a classic doesn't mean plenty of others like fans, critics, peers do not. Great song writting is more important than anything you said. If creating a hit that still is memorable 10 years later is so 'easy' fam den why do so many rappers struggle to make hits? you can't just apply your criteria to what you think is great homie. Your criteria isn't neccesarily the same as others.
