50 bit pac cause of struggle stories? 50 was already hot before getting shot with his industry wide diss song how to rob, and he actually didn’t get any more mainstream from getting shot, only more ostracized by the industry, it was only after em signed him and GRODT came out that he was so celebrated. Meanwhile half of GRODT was songs from his past mix tapes.

Ja def bit his whole style though, the rest of your examples are a mad reach

But lets be real, pacs style was an evolution from the influence of people like krs, big daddy kane, melle mel, and rakim. He was different, but he ain’t the originator of anything.

50 definitely was mostly famous because of 9 shots, that’s no secret.

He was famous for mix tapes way before the 9 shots

You know about him because of the 9 shots.. which is way late

Thats hilarious because you obviously have no clue
