50 Cent Agrees ‘Many Men’ Is The Most Influential Song Of 2020

50 Cent Addresses 21 Savage’s Jeezy Diss On “Many Men”

Couple of artists have sampled 50 Cent‘s hit song ‘Many Men’ off his ‘Get Rich Or Die Trying’ classic album. Two decades after, rappers including Pop Smoke and 21 Savage were inspired by the track and it’s been deemed the most influential song of 2020.

However, on 21 Savage’s ‘Many Men’ track off his Metro Boomin collabo album ‘Savage Mode 2’, the Atlanta rapper dissed Jeezy in his verse.

During a recent interview with Spotify’s RapCaviar, Head Of Urban Music Carl Chery actually called “Many Men” the most influential song of 2020, a claim 50 appears to agree with. “They made it that for me,” 50 said.

“The younger artists doing it over, they made it that. It’s because they feel the same way. You can’t make a person decide to write a song. It’s influenced by a song. Creatively, it’s them going you know what? It’s how I feel right now. You know, the tones of what’s going on with them matches the record.”

“Whether you’re addressing another artist, like in 21 Savage’s piece he dealt with some not so good feelings he had toward Jeezy. Pop was here, Pop didn’t even use the title in it. The melodies is what struck the chord in him. The demographic didn’t mean something to them, in that timeframe there was nothing better than that.”

“I think you’re going to see more artists mirror some of the things from my music, even if they’re doing it a little different,” the rapper and business mogul continues.

“The cadences are a little different cause they’re rapping. And why I pointed out that ‘Many Men’ was the slowest track on Get Rich Or Die Tryin, is because it fits production-wise now. Musically now, things are slower. They like rapping to r&b beats.”
