no way are 50 and obie on the same level... obie trice is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than 50 in almost every aspect of rapping...... the only reason he wont sell as much is cos he has less dre influence (therefore less dre beats) than 50... and anyone with dre on their name or associated heavily with him is guranteed to sell heaps...
