Fabolous also commented on the result when it was shared by The Hip-Hop Wolf on Instagram. He wrote: "Kinda a weird category comparison to me.. Wu Tang is a rap group.. . Death Row was a rap label.. and the artists were all solo artist. If its Rap Crew based it shoulda been like Death Row, Bad Boy, Cash Money, No Limit etc. Wu Tang wasn’t even all on the same labels. Not a fair comparison in my eyes. Just my thoughts.. But congrats to Tha Row."

Other fans agreed with the rapper. "They had to put a whole record label against a rap group for them to win [laughing emojis] who’s fucking idea was this??" one wrote. Another commented: "All this time 2pac was in a group.."
