1. You can twist what 50 did to make him look foolish, doesn't matter to me. What I'm saying is, he has never had an issue with voicing his opinion or confronting somebody. You don't see this in rap music anymore.
2. These are all the NL albums released in 99. No way in hell did they sell 25 mil that year. This is when their albums sales started to decline. I bought about half of these too

I even remember which albums went platinum. MP, Silkk (was close to 2x) and Snoop. Gold albums were C, Foolish, TRU. Half of this list didn't even reach 250K so where did you get 25 mil that year?
