"Like Jay-Z's effect on Hip Hop is bigger than any album sales that Eminem will have," Crawford said while arguing that numbers aren't always the final arbitrator of greatness in basketball either.

It's certainly a reasonable argument. Especially since Hov has sold quite a few albums himself, even if not as many as Shady.

But 50 Cent wasn't having it.
