Exclusive: 50 Cent Previews Forever King Mixtape
'Act as if you're a king to be treated like a king,' 50 says in Mixtape Daily.

Forever King: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive

50 Cent is definitely up on everything. He looks at the Internet just like everybody else. Sitting in his New York office Thursday (July 2), 50 was looking at the Drake video, refusing to watch Game's apology to the G-Unit on MTVNews.com and answering calls from Leonardo DiCaprio's camp for a dinner with the movie star. All that, and he played his latest mixtape, Forever King for Mixtape Daily. He was originally going to call his latest mixtape Sincerely Yours: Southside Part 2, and on it he planned to rap over '90s R&B classics. But in the end he decided to throw in some additional flavor with his throwback stylings.

"It was Sincerely Southside Part 2, but I changed it to Forever King because of the content," he explained. "I wanted to not just make all '90s music, I wanted to switch up the content a little bit. Also, calling it Sincerely Southside would cause an expectation based on Part 1. So I called it Forever King. In the past, you've had artists, when they feel they're on top their game, say they are, or would be considered, the King in New York City. So I feel on top of my game. It's actually one of the laws of power: Act as if you're a king to be treated like a king."

The cover of the tape features 50's face digitally imposed with an iced-out skull.

"When Michael Jackson passed, there was a piece of artwork that had 'King of Pop, King of Rap' with me and his pictures. That's what gave me the concept of the artwork. There's a real human skull that's got diamonds embedded in it," he said. "I saw the photo in Dubai. It's an artifact, it's priceless. That's a real skull they see. We used the effect to make it feel like it's a skull inside my face. And the Yankee hat would be my crown."

The King gets anything but the royal red carpet rolled out for him in a track called "Put Da Work In." Over a slow beat, Fif tells shocking, pensive true stories about his childhood.

"You know, my aunt killed my dog and never said sorry," he raps about one of his family members doing away with his pet canine. "N---as broke in my crib and stole my Atari/ Man, n---as could've asked, I would let them hold a cartridge."

Fif just couldn't catch a break.

"Instead of selling crack, I could've been Tiger Woods/ But they ain't got no f---in' golf courses in the 'hood.'

The tempo gets faster as does the mood on the playfully disparaging "If You Leave." Fif raps over the 1991 classic "You Called and Told Me" by Jeff Redd (the man who discovered Mary J. Blige).

As the beat builds up, Fif rhymes: "N---as know how I do./ Let's get mo' paper, mo' bread./ It's grind time./ I ain't f---in' 'round kid./ ...If there's a problem I get right to the root./ ... You talk too much, I'll put your a-- on mute."

"If you're leaving, then leave/ On the way out leave my keys," 50 sarcastically says on the chorus while Redd's chorus of "you called and told that you wanted to leave" plays.

"I got y'all back in Bentley's," he adds, referring to the legendary New York nightclub.

"Dreaming" incorporates Christopher Williams' 1992 hit off the "New Jack City" soundtrack "Dreamin'." Here, the G-Unit general tells his aspirations of being rich away from drug dealing.

"It's bigger than coke, bigger than dope," he promises in his rhyme. "My marijuana mentality went up in smoke."

"Things You Do," uses Gina Thompson's "The Things You Do" and finds Fif having fun with fast women, while "Funny How Time Flies" is about him withstanding the hate he receives from rolling with one particular woman.

"They can wish bad sh-- on us, it's cool we made it/ Look at me and see the Lord's blessing while they stressing/ Switch whips, push the Bugatti through the recession."

You can also look out for "London Girl 2" and 50 flipping records by Horace Brown and Case. He also includes tracks that he previously leaked such as "Paranoid," "Respect It or Check It" and "Where You Are," which includes vocals by Michael Jackson.

" 'You Called and Told Me,' that was [popular] at Bentley's!" 50 said with a grin. "That's when I met Jay-Z. That has gotta be '97. That record was ill at that point. A lot of those joints, I have memories tied to the records. Music marks times. 'Get Money,' that joint right there I took the Horace Brown joint, 'One for the Money.' Then I used Gina Thompson. Intro! That was my favorite group. At one point, Intro was consistently giving me [hits]. 'Let me be, let me the one!' A bunch of joints man. Of course, 'Funny How Time Flies,' the one I used. Then they had 'Let Me Come Inside.'"

Forever King drops Friday night (July 3) on Thisis50.com. Last night, 50 debuted his new video for "OK You're Right," which will be featured on his upcoming Before I Self Destruct.

Fif said he came across the clip from the short film "Carousel," which was directed by Adam Berg and won the Grand Prix Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and placed portions of it at the beginning of his video. The story escalates from there, with 50 in a clown mask for part of it.

"We're searching to find the newest thing possible or newest film tricks. That clip actually won in Cannes Film Festival. I felt it would have been a dope intro to the movie. It was a four-minute-long piece. I felt it was overkill the way they did it, but for what they were doing it for made sense.

"A little bit of the Joker," he explained about what "Carousel" reminded him of. "That was my opportunity to play the Joker with the mask on."

I dont understand your arguement, what has my or LBF personality gotta do with the way Game does things, i was reading your article about 50 not wanting to see the Games Video, which is funny...From 50 cent side and i replied saying that Game will be at it next few days live, coz he gets very Heated live onstage and with mixture of adrenaline,hype,fans,crowd and alchohol he tends to Diss G unit and Declear War at the stpot.

Thats all i was saying.

Majcip

yeah if game eat it and stay behind his apologize than shit will change one day. If not than Game will really come with another diss or fuck g-unit. Cuz this is reason for him. This shit will never end if it will be like that.

50 needs to chill the fuck out and just accept the apology, if he wants decent sales he'll work with game again. unfortunately the chances are extremely low..

he never will aslong as yayos' around, yayos got 50 right where he wants him now, theres only him and banks on g unit, and he knows banks is reserved so he dont do much, so yayo can be around 50 at all times slurping up all the money and publicity because he knows he aint gonna have another album again... and he aint gonna let anyone interfere with his scheme

BlackBauer

Of course he is refusing to watch it.. why would 50 want to look like a fool when Game has another one of his mood swings?

50 Cent:
"I´m down to sell records but not my soul"

It´s easy to say 50 should squash the beef but we ain´t in fif´s position. We ain´t put that much time and energy in peoples who turned their back on us and screamed FUCK YOU!

Yeah The Unit will be stronger and they will have decent sales.
If you wanna squash beef, then squash beef out of love and not for good music or better albums sales. Fuck that. And thats why I say Hip Hop is fake. Too many niggaz pretending they like eachother when they really don´t but everybody is just looking at the music.

We know what Game said. He will be dissing G-Unit for life.

Even if 50 wants to squash beef, niggaz like Yayo, Banks, Spider Loc and some other G-Unit niggaz won´t accept that.
Don´t forget that before Game got kicked out of G-Unit he and Banks didn´t even speak no more.

Game needs to keep doing him without G-Unit. Those days are over.
First he was on Buck´s dick and now he don´t even mention Buck anymore.

Joey111

Yeah right. If tomorrow 50 says "we cool with Game" you really think Banks & Yayo are gonna say anything ? Same shit happened with D-Block and Lil Wayne --> what 50 says is golden in G-Unit.

Fact is that Game and 50 lost fans in the beef. Yes, 50 can still go platinum and Game can still go gold but if they were together again those sales would double, no doubt. But like somebody said as long as Yayo is in the picture, this ain't gonna happend. Yayo = reason why G-Unit fall apart. 50, Banks, Buck, Game and Yayo in jail = G-Unit at it's best

Flipperacci

Everybody is jealous at Yayo cause 50 is praising him the most. It did really hurt Buck when 50 said that Yayo is the only one who can´t be dropped and don´t have to sell records and that he is on 50´s will. Ofcourse niggaz will blame Yayo for everything since compared to the rest he actually is the wackest but still a good rapper.

Banks, Buck, Game weren´t their when 50 got stabbed and when he got shot. Yayo was. Yayo was there from the beginning and he still is.
He´s a loyal nigga. He the only nigga who joined 50 in every beef.
Banks gave Buck a pass but Yayo didn´t.

Yayo is that nigga who don´t take bullshit. If you got a problem with 50 he´ll handle it like it´s his own problem.

We in a recession... why everybody would think that soon as they get back... sales gonna be all gravy. TBH, 50 is going to lose the fans. Game gonna keep his same ol e-net mexican bangers and ride 50 again. But 50 gonna lose fans and respect, like me. Cause u gonna make peace with a nigga talkin bout ya dead mother? WTF

Its sad. I really shake my head at the ignorance to those sayin 50 accept it for your own selfish reason. Wouldnt accept nobody talkin bout ya moms who passed away

And how is tony the reason they fell apart. When Game started bugging a lil after Tony got outta jail. Game is the reason the unit fell apart. He was ungrateful, which he knows he was, and went and did his own thing. That then opened the doors to be ungrateful and still sell records. So Buck just followed his ass wanting to suck his dick

How the fuck tony got to do with any of that

Da Real Deal

LMFAOOOOOOOOO damn that's fucked up

I can't blame 50 for not wanting to accept Games apology. Game raped that whole camp and they really haven't been the same since. Game has pulled this shit before and said the beef was done and then got back on his bullshit. I like Game as a rapper and I don't know him personally so I ain't gonna say what he is but I can understand why 50 doesn't wanna work with him even if you put the beef aside. Game is like a fucking chick high school just bitching about everything.

As far as 50 calling himself a King dude has been washed up for like 2 years now. Yes I know blah blah blah sales, money, show, movie with robert and al, etc. But as far his music he sucks now.

Too bad 50 and Game won't ever do anything because they made a tight crew.

Witty Qwan

Niggas shouldve stayed close to 50 like Yayo

keepitgangsta

A washed up rapper u still find time to speak about
