    @50CentSXN

    This is such a memorable interview
    Do think it played a part in the industry blackballing him

    One of the best I watched.
    No PR answers.

    He posted this recently.



    Young 50 doesn't look like someone you'd want to mess with.

    Eh I’ve seen bigger. We got ranch boys like Gronk here that would put 15 year old 50 in the grave. Plus 50 is known for photoshopping so this has definitely been altered. I will say, he was definitely packing a hammer downstairs. I mean look at that thing. Altered or not, he’s packin some heat that most 15 year olds could only dream of. Hopefully he put it to use because now it definitely doesn’t work due to all the roids and cocaine.

    No PR? This is literally the most staged interview I’ve ever seen, and wtf the interviewer had the biggest head I’ve ever seen. Is that black jimmy neutron?

    It’s a good interview but I don’t see it as far as this interview goes—no one gonna blackball him over Jadakiss lol and he basically said as much. It’s true Jada and fat joe had some hits with Why? and Lean Back during this time but 50 was a commercial monster

    yeah 50 was blackballed by Jimmy Iovine and Dre for his headphone debacle
    He didn't get a Beats line for himself and was pissed so went out and started SMS audio while Jimmy and Dre were the owners of Beats. On top of that he said

    n----s think Jimmy Iovine's my boss
    n-----, f--- Jimmy Iovine, n-----!
    I'm from a hundred thirty fourth street, n-----!
    AIN'T GOT NO MOTHERFUCKIN BOSS

    I remember this...

    But why? 50 & Dre promoting the same headphones. Why not? Why not Eminem to the mix. As big as dre beats are and will be for decades. I see more potential out of them than what was used. Dre should have used the headphones to promote new artists signed and things of that nature

    i remember seeing a interview where jimmy told 50 he didnt like him its sad to see that we didnt get ski mainly because of that diagreement between them at 50s speech he said that jimmy was a big part of everythign he had done or something and he should be there he wasn't there at the speech interesting

    Rightfully so. It’s staged to be just like it.

    the whole industry hated his arrogance imo.
    remember he didnt even win best new artist at the Grammy's in 2004. 2003 he was the biggest artist in the world
