theres a difference between 50 and cube.
cube endured the times when it wasnt commercially acceptable or viable to say what he says. they were making shit that was never intended to be huge and marketable, whereas 50's success relies ENTIRELY on his abiity to market and hawk products, in a market that is friendly, not hostile to artists with PARENTAL GUIDANCE stickers on them. to make as big an impact as cube/nwa did, 50 would have to come out of the closet and say he was gay, or something of that magnitude. im just sayin it would take something of that caliber to say 50 ever did anything rapwise that was groundbreaking.
