03/31/08 - 50 Cent Disagrees With Eminem's Mixtape Tip;

March 31, 2008
By Shaheem Reid

50 Cent can admit when he is totally wrong and his gambles don't pay off. For most of last year, he took the advice of Interscope Records and fell back from the mixtape circuit because the label had advised him that it was taking away from his official record sales. That was right around the time DJ Drama and Don Cannon were having issues with the RIAA.

But 50 has made up for lost time in the past six months, releasing three mixtapes since last fall.

"They think I'm crazy," 50 told us last week in his Connecticut mansion, chuckling about what Eminem and Shady Records tell him about giving away so much material for free. "Sometimes [Em] misses why I put it out. He goes, 'Why did you put it out?' But I can't be as hot as I'm gonna be if I don't play around. I gotta spar before I go fight the champ. That's my concept of it. If I don't go out and make material and lock in, I'm not gonna make the best possible material for the next [official] project."

Fif — who has been working on a new freestyle with Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo over the beat of Snoop Dogg's "Neva Have 2 Worry" — obviously hasn't been slowed down by any of his recent issues with his hip-hop peers. Lately he and Fat Joe have been going back and forth in interviews, songs and Photoshopped pictures on the Web.

"The Hip-Hop Weekly [a fake cover] came out, and it was a thing with [Benzino] supposed to be [sleeping] with Fat Joe's wife," 50 said. "I didn't make that. I didn't have anyone [Photoshop] that. Why would you do that? I work for Hip-Hop Weekly? They'll know that there are issues between me and Joe, so when he approaches them, they'll say, 'Nah, it must be 50. You know how 50 is.' But I didn't care, 'cause I don't like Joe neither. It doesn't matter to me that they did it, but it didn't come from me."

But several days ago, 50 did hold a mock funeral for Joe online. In the video, he started to cry, saying the SoundScan returns of Joe's The Elephant in the Room killed him. He also warned Joe's friend Rick Ross not to align himself too tightly with the Terror Squad general.

"Rick Ross is doing good," 50 elaborated. "I also complimented him that he had the #1 album. I said, 'Just don't stand too close to this fat piece of ...' I'm saying that because of what [Joe's] trying to do. He runs to Miami and hangs out with them like he's running Miami? Does Fat Joe run Miami? I don't think Fat Joe runs Miami. I think people from Miami would be upset you're even questioning that. The fact he can influence DJ Khaled on the radio, does that mean Fat Joe runs Miami? ... I don't care if [Khaled] ever plays my records. He's not important enough to what I'm doing for it to matter. Not to say Miami doesn't count. He doesn't count for it to matter to me."

The G-Unit album, tentatively titled Lock and Load, is slated for this summer, while Fif's next solo LP, Before I Self Destruct, is coming toward the end of this year.

To watch an exclusive clip of 50 explaining why his problems with so many artists have a roundabout connection to Jay-Z, click the player above. ...

The T's have been crossed, the I's have been dotted, and now Brooklyn's Papoose is a free man.

"Actually, I just got out of the situation with Jive," he told us last week at Philippe's restaurant in Manhattan. "I had options when I was trying to get out of the situation with Jive. Now that I'm out of the situation, I'mma make my decision within the next couple weeks or so. And I'm going to move forward. After I make my decision, I want the single out, and I want the album to come right afterward. I want my album out as soon as possible. I just want to get it out there."

The lyrical MC said he wants to release his album, Nacirema Dream, this year, no question. He pinpointed June as a target month, but he's still shuffling songs for the project. Now that he's out of his contract with Jive, Pap said there are a few songs from the album he turned in that he wants to swap out for better ones.

"I'm not with the industry politics, like, 'Yo, you have to have this type of record.' I'm not with none of that, because I'm not bred like that. I'm bred from the street."

the mixtape scene is what made 50 and the unit the greatest of all time..its only right that they go back to it.

W3STCOASTRYDA · 03-31-2008, 10:46 PM

Yall niggaz crack me up with the "Fif is right!" and the "50 is so smart"...

if 50 was SO RIGHT.. why did kanye win? why did his album do.. 1 mill and some change? (go ahead and reply giving worldwide sales numbers, dickriders)...

eminem's album will go at least 3X plat just because of the anticipation.. doesnt even have to be a good album. Dre's album is already a classic and he hasnt even dropped a single... 50 is stupid putting out these shitty mixtapes dissing FAT JOE... do your thing and get off Fat Joe's dick!!!

also.. dre and em were the one who put the nail in ja rule's coffin.. not 50 cent. 50 cent doesnt "end careers". he goes after rappers who arent even mainstream to begin with. Cam? cam sucks, he murked himself. The game's album will sell more than CURTIS!!! Lol!!!

I'm just trying to prove a point... G-unit's fan base is SO small now. Hell in 2003 i was bumping GRODT. Gunits fan-base is all on this site! Lol! just because 50 cent is so rich, doesnt mean people will buy his albums anymore. whatever he does sell is from the controversy he created before his album dropped. the whole kanye vs 50 ordeal couldnt even help 50 sell that shitty album. go ahead and blame it on the record label.. matter a fact.. LISTEN TO THE ALBUM... that shit is GARBAGE and i am NOT hating. I still bump GRODT. Curtis... HELL NAW

but im sure you niggaz cant wait for before i self destruct! Keep listening to amusement part you faggot ass niggaz! Lol!!!

Dumb ass bitch... Dr. Dre and Eminem were responsible for 50 Cent's success. you think 50 cent would be where he is if Eminem never signed him? FUCK NO.... he can release a million mixtapes if he wants.. they are all garbage..

but i bet your listening to all of 50's new song with the t-pain voice right? bitch

i disagree...sure you can release songs to a certain extent before the album drops but there is a point where you can drop too much and over-saturate the market (like wayne)

tracks like rider boy pt. 2 are fuckin hard as fuck and i wish they didn't put that on the mixtape because that would be a hard 1st single...i hope 50's realized by now that he needs to get back to his fuckin roots and come back with the hard shit again (as far as albums are concerned-because i have to admit the past 3 mixtapes have been HARD as fuck and that's the old unit...THE UNIT IS BACK!)

but em is right

LilIcey · 04-01-2008, 11:11 AM

What eminem means is that if 50 drops hot mixtapes and if hes albums sucks then sales will drop (i think lol)

black ice 07 · 04-02-2008, 11:43 PM

BISD better be on some next level shit because he's had two and a half years to create material for it and he's dropped three good mixtapes in the last half a year.
