because i don't see how jay-z is that much of a better businessman than 50 cent aside from the fact that he reminds us he's a businessman on record.

baby is not getting those type of product or co-branding deals because he is not as marketable as those new york dudes. but it's not like any of them are building a business from scratch outside of a label. the fact that baby still has shit together all these years has to speak to some type of business acumen. luck will get your foot in the door but i suspect it takes more than that to sustain success.
