In a recent interview with Complex, Curtis talks about a number of topics. From Fat Joe’s first week/weak sales, the MTV list, Gucci Mane, possible tension between himself and Dr. Dre, Hov and more. Check a quote below and hit the link after for the full write up.
Getting back to Jay-Z, who ended up #1 on the list. Much has been made of his recent comment that “no one is afraid of 50 Cent.” Regardless, it seems like the general public agrees that Kanye wouldn’t have pulled that stunt if you were on stage instead of Taylor Swift…
He wouldn’t. You can’t convince the public, you can’t convince Kanye to say he would’ve did that. If I was there and he did that to me we would have had an altercation. Right there. It’s clear. He [Kanye] would have avoided that, just being intelligent. The interviewer who asked [Jay-Z] about the Kanye situation made him feel like a punk. His presentation is really simple and you can’t have both. You can’t be gangster Jay from Marcy and be the good guy Jay-Z on Oprah. You just can’t. They don’t let you in. That’s Mr. Knowles, he just got that pass. There ain’t any tickets to an inauguration ball with niggas. If you’re from the hood, you have that element or that aura around you, there’s no tickets for you. It’s “safe” people there. This is why those things are happening. This is why he has to convince the person that he’s talking to he’s not afraid of anyone.
WTF is he talkin bout!!
50 talks way too much
50 planting vegetables with Bette Midler …. ain’t no invites for hood dudes to plant vegetables with Bette Midler. His own statement reflects his own position….. thus nobody is scared of 50 Cent.
this is the same guy who was on CSNBC weeks ago talking happy with news anchors about stock..
this is how low he has sunk..
exposing his own contradiction..smh
where the real hip hop at?
50 speaks the truth.
id be more scared of 50 then weak ass jay the fuck jay gonna do by the time he calls in back up hed already be dead 50 has the streets on lock i dont think u understand this
lol @ “If you’re from the hood, you have that element or that aura around you, there’s no tickets for you. It’s “safe” people there.”
this nigga is confused as fuck…100 million, movie roles, dating movie stars, ayo technology.. and you STILL think you street?
funniest shit ever, 50 gonna be rapping about the same shit Hov rapping about now next year, Chris Martin features in all (justin Timberlake being the appetizer)..and he aint been in the game nearly as long as Jay has..smfh
Hov is 40 years old man. he on some grown man shit and is not worried about beefin w/ niggas whats the point> he got nothing to prove. all he said is ppl are not scared of 50. once u give ur old lifestyle and become a celeb man nobody is afraid of u. The same way Jay iznt the 22 year old hustler from marcy, 50 is not the 20 year old dealer from queens. THUS nobody is scared of 50 Cent. Also he woulda beat down kanye not cuz he (50) is such a thug, but b/c kanye west is 5’6″ and 150. any grown man woulda beat his ass!
50 isn’t saying that one can’t make crossover moves. He is saying that Hov is afforded certain things because of Beyonce. Perception is Jay is more “Oprah Jay” than “Marcy Jay”. That’s why Jay needs to defend his toughness by saying “no one is scared of 50 cent”.
^^so therefore kanye wouldnt have done that if it was 50
those arrows were at Zhendee not SB
he has a point but then again u could say the same about him but anyway cant wait for BISD
Didnt Hov stab a nigga one time? Just saying.
^^^
No. He just took the fall for it.
tracklist yet??
50: The way I responded to the financial stability, it comes with being successful as an artist. My interests reflect on the struggle and how far I’ve came, versus indulging in how great it is where I’m at now. A lot of these artists write “I’m rich,” the coolest shit about being rich, “I’m at the clearport, I’m doing this, I’m doing that.” They aspire to write about luxury and to excite an audience and the demographic that comes from where they come from, saying “I want to be like him.” I write material that makes [the listener] feel like he’s like me. The guys on the corner can relate to 50 Cent in a different way because they knows that I’ve had the same experience and I’ll be inspiring to them
To me that makes no sense when he has released released tunes like I get money and baby by me. Im starting to get the feeling that fids just loves the sound of his own voice, I like him but he talks alot of shit…I guess its his job as he has to make news to fill space on booboo and thisis50
Hes right about jay dude is far from gangster and talks crazy on tracks for no reason
why does this guy 50 always gives these fucking broad open answers to every question he gets?? i mean shit is funny to read and see but …that shit he said about Jay and Nas and how that can’t make aggressive content anymore wasn’t even needed…..ESPECIALLY because 50 makes the same type of money that Jay-Z does
I fuck with 50 because he’s the man he still have that mind frame when he was in the hood and still have the mindset even as a millionaire!
Jay-Z to me was and never will be my favorite rapper nor is 50 cent. Jay-Z just say certain shit cause people are always riding his dick. So he’s says shit like that, Jay-Z would not go up on stage nor will Kanye if 50 was up there and snatch the mic. BE REAL PEOPLE, THEY WOULDN’T.
50 cent says what he feels cause he’s blunt and yes he’s cocky also.
Then again, you people say why people don’t just say shit straight out. Now you’re bashing 50 for speaking what he feels.
It’s like you people respect a snitch because in your mind it’s the right thing to do. There’s a difference being a snitch and an eye witness. A snitch tells on people that he’s done business with and he’s a apart of the crime. An eye witness seen what happen and DID the right thing. TWO DIFFERENT FUCKIN THINGS. stop respecting the things.
And no I’m not no 50 cent fan. The only album I ever like was GRODT and his mixtapes before that.
“tracklist yet”
hahaha
i bet it’s coming!
50 planting vegetables with Bette Midler …. ain’t no invites for hood dudes to plant vegetables with Bette Midler. His own statement reflects his own position….. thus nobody is scared of 50 Cent.
Exactly… dude is a walking contradiction… how u gon diss Jay-z for being on Oprah and u on TV planting Vegetables with Bette Midler…
All he does is start beef. He’s one of the biggest hypocrites in rap. Wasn’t he clowning Ja back in the day for singing, and that’s all he was doing? Psh.
