Also don't forget how Marshall looked in 2004-2006.
50 Cent was at the peak back in the mid' 00's, and thanks to him bling era/gangsta-rap type of style became popular. Even Eminem, who was Fifty's producer, tried to act like that, made hit songs like "You don't Know" and "Smack That".
I know, it was a bad period for Em, but it still has some bangers. And Shady/Cent is the perfect example of respect in hip-hop.
