J. Cole dropped a bomb when 50 Cent performed at the Barclays Center for his Final Lap Tour.
During his set, 50 brought Cole to perform “No Role Modelz,” and Cole took a moment to crown Get Rich or Die Tryin’ the greatest album of all time OVER Michael Jackson’s Thriller.
“Can I say this before I move off stage?” he began. “If y’all don’t make some noise for one of the greatest n-ggas to ever do this shit. 50 muthafuckin’ Cent, Curtis Jackson. Get Rich or Die Tryin’ the best album of all time. I don’t give a fuck what you talking about, n-gga! It’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’ at No. 1 and it’s Thriller at No. 2, and I love Michael Jackson. But I promise y’all that, Curtis Jackson, 50 Cent, we love you my n-gga, for real.”
50 also brought out Jadakiss, DaBaby, Moneybagg Yo, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Yung Bleu, Flo Rida, Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, none of whom were attempting to step on that landmine of a statement.
To date, "Get Rich or Die Tryin," has gone 9 Times Platinum, while "Thriller," is the best-selling album of all time.
