Kanye and Chris Brown still get shit over the things they’ve done years ago. It’s obvious that people (mainly racists and people who never liked them) won’t ever forgive them. But they have a large number of die hard fans and they do better than artists with more of the media’s support and none of the controversy.

This isn’t about accomplishments or whether one’s a popular icon. This is about whether 50 can make good music and I stll believe 50 do it but dude has alienated large portions of possible customers by his constant instigation of beefs between other rappers as well as being unable to produce a hit single. Jay, Kanye, TI, Nicki, Wayne, Ross, Drake and other rappers always work together in collaborations and albums. Their names may not be popular as 50′s but they are popular where it counts and that’s their consumers. Yeah he sold a shit load of records years ago but so did nelly and Dre and they’re having trouble noing so now.
