50 Cent: MTV Can Suck My Dick 2007-08-10 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 52 Comments |
His music career may be dying, but 50 Cent's in no mood to tone down his vitriol. In a recent interview with Complex Magazine, Fifty invites MTV to "suck [his] dick" over their decision to rank Lil' Wayne as the #1 MC of the right now, links his numerous product endorsement deals to "financial security" (royalties from 25 million albums just ain't what they used to be) and explains that the only reason people have stopped buying his records is that he's so damn talented.
Oh Curtis.
Complex: Alright, so the first two singles, people didn’t really respond to them the way they usually—
50 Cent: (interrupts) They did respond to them. The record spun over 3,000, both of them! It just didn’t feel like 50 Cent, right? See, “I Get Money” is the kind of record—like it’s impacting hard in the club. These are special records. If a brand new record came out and it spun like “Straight to the Bank” or “Amusement Park” from a new artist, they would go, “Wow, he had a great record, this is a great start.” But with 50 Cent, the bar’s been raised so high based on material that I put out to this point, that they're looking for me to give them something that’s hands down the hottest thing at the time. So, when I return with “I Get Money,” it changes their perception. Both of those records worked.
You’re sitting on a nice royalty check from Vitamin Water, how important are investments outside of rap right now?
How important is your check? What happens is the artists are so creative that they forget the reality of it actually being a business. They get creative up until the point that their creativity doesn’t connect with the public anymore, and they're no longer relevant. And financially they’re somewhere, be it a VH1 special or somewhere fucked up, their money gone. So it’s important to make sure you put yourself in the stable financial space, not just for people who do entertainment period.
MTV named Lil’ Wayne’s the hottest MC right now, what are your thoughts on that?
MTV can suck my dick. It doesn’t matter. I could say whatever I want. If I want to be an asshole, idiot, I could just say whatever I want. You know what I mean, like, I’m just doing this as an example, because I don’t really mean literally MTV could—I could say it, like MTV could say that that’s their favorite artist because that’s one person’s opinion. Whoever they said, “Can you go out and set up this list for us.” That’s their opinion who they put in. They put Game number three when I wrote the three singles that created him. What does that mean? That I’m number 3? Because you're not into me this week, I get a chance to sit in the number eight spot, but the project that I created is number three.

Earlier this week, Fifty upped the stakes in the pseudo-feud with Kanye West, brashly declaring that he'll quit making music as a solo artist if his album Curtis doesn't hit the #1 spot following its September 11 release. West's Graduation hits stores the same day.
"Let's raise the stakes," the 31-year-old rapper told hip-hop Web site SOHH.com in an interview posted Friday. "If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out anymore solo albums."

wait so if he is at number 3 by his logic that means eminem is 3 which means dr.dre is 3 which means
ah fuck it.
|
| |
he's such an idiot
|
| |
Rappers with creativity? 50 isnt one of those.
|
| |
oshi, parappa the rapper's going crazy.
|
| |
and my hatred for this man gets bumped up to a 9.5/10 on the Suck-O-Meter
|
| |
This guy is a walking lolathon.
|
| |
What happens is the artists are so creative that they forget the reality of it actually being a business.
what a fucking idiot.
|
| |
50 got shot 9 times. Too bad he's still makin music.
|
| |
I wish he got shot again, that'd be nice. Maybe then he'd stop recording music altogether.
|
| |
we all know what this means...
everyone go buy the new kanye.
|
| |
Wow, he basically said that art shouldn't be about creativity because then it doesn't appeal to the masses. What an asshole.
|
| |
theres no way his record will sell better.
|
| |
50 Cent and Kanye ( or however you spell it) West aree so god dam full of them selfs and they think there better then everyone even us people who buy there records who supply them with money. Not saying that I bought a 50 cent album. Geeze that would be a waist of money and time! So 50 Cent can SUCK MY DICK! This Message Edited On 08.10.07
|
| |
And that's the truth.
|
| |
How can somebody be such a Richard Cranium?
|
| |
Don't you just love how he continues to refer to himself in third person?
|
| |
This guy can die any time soon for all I care xD No one gives a shit about him, and he's a huge douche bag.
MTV probably would suck his dick too.
|
| |
you know, im not a big fan of kanye but i do think everyone should go out and buy his album now considering the circumstances  This Message Edited On 08.10.07This Message Edited On 08.10.07

Well, goodbye 50 Cent. Kanye's gonna blow him away. Alas. Shot down by the only bigger ego than his own.
|
| |
50's vitamin water commercial's are more interesting than his music.
|
| |
all rappers are f**kwits...50 cent especially
|
| |
^Stupid comment. Fact is you've probably ONLY heard 50 Cent/other mainstream rap so you judge everyone on him.
Now I'm a defender of rap typically, but even I have to admit 50 is an idiot.
|
| |
That's right Mr. Fitty! You stick it to the man! There ya go!
|
| |
"If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I'll no longer write music"
Fuck. Guess now I need to buy a Kanye West CD...
|
| |
Fiddy threatening not to make anymore albums is what you call an idle threat. He won't make good on it.
|
| |
All he had to say was, "A nigga gotta eat", no need for the whole interview.
|
| |
I am certainly buying a Kanye album or twelve, just to see 50 Cent out of the business.
|
| |
CANT SPELL "CRAP" WITHOUT "RAP" CAN YA GUYS????
|
| |
No sir, Mr. Harrison
|
| |
I also like how 50 covered his ass by hastily taking back the comment about MTV. Why is it that rappers are so insecure about their status?
|
| |
Wow this guy is something else. At least Kanye admits he's an egomaniac, and he loves his fans, and hes.............TALENTED.... I think i may go buy his record just because. I dont even listen to hip-hop/rap anymore!
ITS OFFICIAL! IF 50 CENT OUTSELLS KANYE WEST, I WILL NEVER TAKE A CRAP AGAIN! ILL JUST EAT AND EAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE AND HOLD IT IN!This Message Edited On 08.11.07

hop-hop
just what?
hop-hop-hop-hop-hop-hop-hop-hop
|
| |
Boy, he sure is one of the more talented and intelligent rappers out there....
NAAAHT. [/Borat Style]
|
| |
Sigh.... it's sad how these "stars" carry themselves around. in the complete interview he disses lil' wayne, jarule and kanye..... and cam'ron who he claims got punched in the head and shut up.... thats so gangsta.
well, ppl, the only dignified thing he will do in his whole career is to stop when he is outsold. that is....if he DOES keep his promise.
|
| |
i hate him even more now. Jealous, self-centered egotistic bastard, can't admit that somebody could possibly be better than himself. he even attacks his own "child", The Game. How filthy is that? ;p
|
| |
this man is so incredibly stupid, it's unreal.
|
| |
if you look at music as a buisness you make shitty music like 50 Cent. He just justified his own bad music.
|
| |
Cage owns "Fiddy's" ass. I believe all of the blame for entertainers being the dumbasses that they are stems from Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone makes these "artist" larger than life people who always need to be #1 in everything they do. And it is funny how he basically said "fuck mtv" than went back on it. Idiot. Five years from now, 50 cent will be on The Surreal Life 89.
|
| |
Wow.
edit: ... just, wow.This Message Edited On 08.11.07
|
| |
Of course, the only reason he's saying this is so that he can try to boost his popularity now that people saw the light and stopped buying his albums.
|
| |
I'd love to see Kanye produce a Ja Rule Cd out of spite to 50, and have Ja Rule go back to the platinum record days of 01. Because even Ja's gravelly ass voice is better than having to look at 50 Cents stupid ass ever again.
|
| |
so i cant say the word ass on here without it getting censored, yet this headline can say "suck my dick'?This Message Edited On 08.11.07

Ok, this is just plain retarded. Hey "Fiddy," not every album you make can be a record smasher, dumb***! Artists get so creative that they forget that music is a business? So musicians should sacrifice creativity for songs that sound exactly like all your others, as long as it pays for your house? Go into your corner and pout, Curtis.
|
| |
Kanye is a lot better than 50 cent.
|
| |
holy moly! nearly 50 comments for this twat?...
the person to post the 50th comment is officially an a$$.
Edit: Mine was the 49th*

50 Cent is so much better then Kanye. but Kanye will win.
|
| |
XD...
|
| |
I got so excited over the "not writing music" anymore comment until I got to where he said he would still write for other people...
|
| |
hahah what a douchebag
|
| |
Yes because talent doesn't sell records. Right 50?
|
| |
50 cent is alwasy saying hypocritical things, portraying himself as better than other rappers. I remember him lashing out a hip-hop's lack of originality and now all this rubbish.
