By Shaheem Reid The Game Photo: Michael Tullberg/ Getty Images The Game has thrown disses at both 50 Cent and Jay-Z , so who does the Compton rap fanatic think would win if Fif and Jay ever engaged in a war of words? In a recent interview with Complex.com , Game says he gives it to Jigga. "Jay-Z will f--- 50 up in a battle!" Game predicted. "It would be so fast and over with. 50 is funny, but Jay is witty. Jay-Z is not to be toyed with. If he responds, if he feels like you're really pissing him off and he responds, he's gonna f--- you up! He would f--- me up, I'm just glad he didn't respond , so I didn't have to go dig in my bag and try to f--- him up.

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson: Turn Shit Into Sugar

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:43:48 +0000

Every negative situation contains the possibility for something positive, an opportunity. It is how you look at it that matters. Your lack of resources can be an advantage, forcing you to be more inventive with the little that you have. Losing a battle can allow you to frame yourself as the sympathetic underdog. Do not let fears make you wait for a better moment or become conservative. If there are circumstances you cannot control, make the best of them. It is the ultimate alchemy to transform all such negatives into advantages and power. Events in life are not negative or positive. They are completely neutral. The universe does not care about your fate; it is indifferent to the violence that may hit you or to death itself. Things merely happen to you. It is your mind that chooses to interpret them as negative or positive. And because you have layers of fear that dwell deep within you, your natural tendency is to interpret temporary obstacles in your path as something larger--setbacks and crises. ...

50 Cent Says He Feels The Same Pressure As Britney Spears

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:50:00 +0000

'They begin to resent you,' Fif says of the pressure the public puts on its favorite stars. By Shaheem Reid 50 Cent Photo: MTV News 50 Cent says Before I Self Destruct is no different from his other three solo LPs; he feels like his back is against the wall every time he releases a new album. "Absolutely, every project is the same for me," he told MTV News. "It feels like I'm back in the underdog space because I feel that doubt from the public where they go, 'Do you think he can do it again?' [They doubt you can] return to that space where you're generating that interest as before. Not the actual sales, not how people feel about you generally, but overall does it feel the way it felt in 2003? ... But I told them ahead of time, actually getting a chance to hear the record, is that this album was arguably better than Get Rich or Die Tryin'. " Fif says he's more conscious of himself in the studio now, as opposed to when he was debuting. Now that he's tasted the ...

Rapper cracked jokes about Bette Midler, his new fragrance and beef with Canadian kids on Tuesday's show. By Kyle Anderson 50 Cent on the "Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" on Tuesday Photo: NBC For all of the beef 50 Cent seems to find himself in, the guy actually has a pretty acute sense of humor. Those looking for proof need only watch his appearance on Tuesday night's episode of "The Tonight Show," in which 50 goofed around amiably with host Conan O'Brien for the better part of 10 minutes. O'Brien touched on a number of topics, some more sensitive than others. He began by asking 50 about a photo snapped of him with his arm around Bette Midler. The two collaborated on restoring a park in 50's old neighborhood , and the rapper joked that he knew he had arrived at another level of fame when he had his picture taken with the veteran diva.

Beanie Sigel Spits Anti-Jay-Z Rhymes In Online Video

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:17:52 +0000

Clip, shot in a home studio, was posted on 50 Cent's Web site. By Shaheem Reid Beanie Sigel and Jay-Z in 2005 Photo: Scott Gries/Getty Images On the day it was announced that Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" would be his first #1 single, Beanie Sigel tried to make sure Hova wasn't in the mood to celebrate. Footage shot by DIYRyan appeared on 50 Cent's Web site , showing Beans in a home studio in New Jersey. "You in the hall already/ On the wall already," Beans raps to his friends in the video. "You's a work of art/ Man, this boy's all pretty/ Type to not feed no workers/ 'Cause he grubbed already/ Noodle, I had the sauce/ We could've made spaghetti/ But I'mma shine on my own/ I'm a star already/Lost the Best of Both Worlds/ He could've called R. Kelly." The lyrics and flow were in the same cadence of Jay-Z's last verse of the Blueprint 3 track "Already Home."

50 Cent Says Eminem's Success Is 'Something To Work To'

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:52:00 +0000

'This is what keeps me down to Earth and working,' Fif says of his 'Psycho' collaborator. By Shaheem Reid 50 Cent Photo: MTV News 50 Cent says "Psycho," from his new Before I Self Destruct album, is totally different from "Patiently Waiting," even though the tracks feature the same collaborator, more or less. "Well, 'Patiently Waiting' I perform with Eminem. On ['Psycho'], off of Before I Self Destruct, is 50 Cent and Slim Shady," he explained. "He has an alter ego, and he has a comfort with doing things [that] are the craziest things possible. That's when the chainsaw comes out. He starts going nuts on you. I wanted him to be able to go to that space, so I worked the chorus and he heard the chorus and he's like, 'Yo, I like that.' I actually recorded ['Psycho'] in Las Vegas. Dre produced the track, we had a bunch of producers out there, and I went and laid the first verse. [Em] came and he heard it and he was like, 'Yo, I'm ready.' Wrote his verse, laid it. And then ...

50 Cent Takes Us Through His Catalog, Album By Album

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:52:00 +0000

The New York MC details the creative journey that led him to Before I Self Destruct. By Shaheem Reid 50 Cent Photo: MTV News 50 Cent first decided to make the Before I Self Destruct album about three years ago. Coming off the heels of 2005's mega-seller The Massacre, Fif wanted to keep slaying 'em with another assault on the streets. However, a creative surge hit him early in the process, and he decided to bench Destruct in order to make the collaboration-heavy Curtis. In the interim, a few tracks intended for Destruct hit the Internet and mixtapes, and the full album was recorded and scrapped twice before he finally settled on the current incarnation, in stores Tuesday (November 17). "Well, this record is almost a prequel to Get Rich or Die Tryin', " 50 said of the album's feel. "The content is coming from situations I've experienced prior to when I created Get Rich or Die Tryin'. What I realized translated most through my material is the aggression, and ...

Fif insists he won't share bars with Game on Dre's upcoming Detox album. By Shaheem Reid 50 Cent Photo: MTV News 50 Cent and Dr. Dre helped Game concoct a classic album on The Documentary. And although things between Fif and Game went sour, the G-Unit General said he's open to working with Dre again to break another MC. "We were actually talking about a new artist, working together on a new project," 50 Cent told MTV News. "I said, 'Just because we had a car accident, that doesn't mean we're not going to drive again — it just means we had an accident with that one.' He laughed at me. He said, 'All right. I'll give it a try,' because he was unsure about how I would feel about helping with [another new artist]," he continued. "Obviously Dre can create the best possible production for the artist and groom him to the right space. But going to introduce him to the general public would be something you want 50 to go do."

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:08:00 +0000

'You let the money change you, Jay,' Fif says in new track. By Shaheem Reid Beanie Sigel's cover art for "I Go Off" featuring 50 Cent Photo: Thisis50.com 50 Cent has officially called out Jay-Z. On Thursday night, the much hyped Beanie Sigel/ 50 Cent collaboration, "I Go Off," premiered on Philadelphia's Power 99 and New York's Hot 97, during Kay Slay's "Drama Hour." 50 Cent doesn't have a verse on the record, but for the most part keeps his mic time relegated to the hook. Meanwhile, Sigel — who threatened Jay-Z on Power 99 last week — doesn't call out any names. "Big Pop of the prop on deck," Beans rap. "Who shot ya?/ Who want beef with Big Poppa?/ ... I earned every buck that was mine/ I know n---as upstate doing life in a box/ I know n---as upstate doin' life with they pops." As the song ends, 50 talks, mentioning Jay by name and telling the Brooklyn rap legend that he's lost his street edge. "You changed, man. You let the money change you, Jay," 50 ...

Hear 30 seconds of 'I Go Off' before it drops Friday the 13th. By Shaheem Reid Beanie Sigel's cover art for "I Go Off" featuring 50 Cent Photo: Thisis50.com Ever since 50 Cent and Beanie Sigel's joint appearance on Philadelphia radio station Power 99 last week, everyone has been buzzing about the new Sigel/ G-Unit affiliation. Fif says there is no recording contract for Sigel as of yet , but recent Internet buzz is hyping a song between the two. According to 50's official Web site , the release date is Friday the 13th — that's when "The Nightmare Begins." MTV News obtained a 30-second portion of the song, in which Fif raps, "I give you something to talk about/ Come 'round me frontin' I'll air you out/ I go off" on the hook. While the streets have speculated that the track would be a dis record aimed at Jay-Z, that doesn't necessarily seem to be the case — at least during the 30 seconds we've heard. Sigel's lyrics are ruthless, but don't seem to be ...
