How (2)dope would it have been to hear a “Eghck” in N*ggas In Paris?! Pusha Ton opens up to Sneeze Magazine about declining a N*ggas In Paris freestyle and 50 Cent being one of his favorite rappers.
You were around for some of the Watch The Throne sessions, were there any beats on that album that you passed on?
PUSHA: “Niggas in Paris!” [Laughs.] I tell people all the time that I don’t know if I would’ve attacked it that way which means the record might not have been as special once I got on it.
Wow, that’s interesting.
PUSHA: ‘Ye gave me beats and that was in the bunch. “Niggas in Paris” was playful to me and I was in demonic rap mode. I was like, “Yo, I don’t want this right now,” he was like, “Man, this will be a club smash,” and I’m like, “Maybe, but don’t ask me to wrap my brain around that when I’m writing stuff like ‘My God,’ which is another Hit Boy beat.”On 50 Cent:
“Raid” the song you have with 50 and Pharrell is crazy. A lot of people feel like 50 is in vintage 50 form on that record…
PUSHA: I called Pharrell and said, “Yo, if you go back in with him and you make about seven more of those type of tracks you’re going to be responsible for something that’s monumental.” People don’t know that 50 Cent is like my favorite. Lyrically he’s not my favorite artist, but as a whole he’s my favorite artist. No one has done what he’s done in such a short time. What I always wanted 50 Cent to do was to get with all top-tier super-producers — Just Blaze, Kanye West, Pharrell, Chad Hugo, put out an album like that.

No one has done what he’s done in such a short time
he on the forbes list with diddy jay z birdshit and they all been around since the 90′s 50 only came out in like 2002

I’d love to hear 50 over some Kanye and Just Blaze beats!

50 won’t do it because he is a business man first, like I heard him say in an interview before, why would I pay all that money for a beat from them when I can get someone else to make the same quality for cheaper. He always gets beats from up and comers that why I like fif, he supports the new dudes coming up.

“Lyrically he’s not my favorite artist, but as a whole he’s my favorite artist” the same way i feel about 50 cent. Nas, Jayz or Jadakiss got better lyrics but as a whole i like 50 cent more for his work that he done. I mean i still bumpin all his old shit and his freestyle in 2010 are dope and btw the street king tracks are some real shit

he said “lyrically” he’s not his fav haha….(off subject):I respect 50 for his business sense and all the help he’s providing with the feed a billion kids thing thats dope..but as an artist he aint got it nomore imo. that “power of the dollar” “get rich” flow is gone. he dissed rappers (for no reason) to get pub.when he didnt have to, he’s started countless beef, talked slick, pulled unnecessary stunts (for no reason) when he didnt have to. Its just old now. A person of his caliber dont have to do that. All of the rappers he looked up to coming up didn’t have to do that…Love 50 the business man but the rapper not so much anymore

Amen to what Pusha said about 50. He needs to make an album with grade A producers.That’s a plague in hiphop now. Grade A artists making songs with grade C producers and vice versa(Primo doing tracks with grade C artists for example)
Its like Camron. He said the same thing “why should I pay such and such thousands for a beat when I can get it from an unknown for cheaper”
These dudes don’t go cheap on their cars , clothes, and jewelry so why go cheap on your beats??!

fuuuuuckkkkk alll that noise.. 50 cent.. why would I pay that much for a beat? Cause you got like nine fucking figures, time to exit out the rap game on a reallll ass note. Get dre to actually let you get a beat, actualllllllllllllyyyyyyyy let you have a beat for your shit, get EM on something, get Kanye on 3 things, Pharrell and Chad on 2, and pusha on one. Throw in Just Blaze at least Twice and lex luger for that GRODT and yeah.
welcome to your last album Fif.
