🚨 Wayno says by 2008–2009 people had STOPPED CARING about 50 Cent’s music, while Jay-Z was still creating major hip hop moments.
“Nobody ever wanted to dress like 50 Cent.”
Wayno says Jay was still shifting culture with American Gangster, Blueprint 3, Roc Nation and putting Drake, Kid Cudi & J. Cole on The Blueprint 3
“Nobody was talking about 50 Cent music.”
He says he respects 50’s run and everything he built outside music, but if the argument is strictly RAP, longevity and cultural impact:
“It’s NOT EVEN CLOSE.”
“Please mute all that sales talk.”
🚨 Wayno PUSHES BACK on 50 Cent saying Jay-Z was NEVER dominant and says the conversation is turning into REVISIONIST HISTORY.
Wayno admits Jay couldn’t touch Pac, Biggie or Nas when Reasonable Doubt dropped, and even says Mase was hotter after Pac & Big died.
But he says people are going too far acting like Jay never had his moment:
“What about when Vol. 2 sold 5 million?”
“At that time, Jay-Z was regarded as the BEST rapper.”
Wayno also says there NEVER was a time when niggas would argue, BAR FOR BAR, that 50 Cent was the best rapper.”

JAY-Z was asked if he was ever the “betrayer”… he said never consciously or with malice, but if a friend does something that gets them demoted, then that’s another story.
He uses his late friend Irv Gotti as an example of feeling betrayed & then retaliating. Irv allowed Ja Rule to diss Jay, & Irv was going to sign Nas at the height of their beef. Jay also said he would still do anything for Irv & even helped him secure a TV deal with BET. (This was filmed before Irv passed)

While Glasses Malone was talking about Michael Jackson, the name Fosse came up, and the whole conversation turned into a lesson on where greatness comes from 🎥.
They talked about how Michael Jackson studied James Brown, Jackie Wilson and the choreographer Bob Fosse, then took those foundations and turned them into something singular.
That's also where Beyoncé's "Single Ladies" dance comes from, which traces back to Fosse's "Mexican Breakfast" routine.
Glasses' point was that greats study the greats, and he called it a beautiful kind of cultural exchange that keeps art alive.
He backed it up with a story from touring with Tech N9ne, where Kendrick Lamar would watch Tech perform at the end of every show.
