what he said^
If 50cent was shot and killed right now he would be classed as a legend, when in truth, he sucks.
Look at Biggie, I mean he was a pretty good rapper for his time but nowhere near as good as people make out. I see people claiming he's one of the top 3 rappers that ever lived when the guy was simply a little better than the average. But obviously people are going to start moaning at me for this (only proving my point really).
It's the same with movies, Dark Knight was a damn good movie but it wouldn't have been so highly regarded if heath was still alive.
