sound like the truth to me…

2ND FROM THE UK

Love him or Hate him 50 gotta point!

Sidebar —- Wasn’t 50 just hanging out with Gayle (Oprah’s best friend or lover or whatever she is to Oprah)?

I just love this man… And he is tellin’ the truth… Jay-Z has gotten a lot more acceptance because of Bey….

lameness

TJ… Ditto..

Number one

Damn, he called him Mr. Knowles…I guess everybodys not afraid of Jay…

Who cares

I have to agree with 50 on this one.

fifty loves being accepted too. showing up to fox business news to promote his book. stfu starting beef to sell records is old. make some decent music and let it speak for itself.

J is a ho he aint been to Marcy in 8 years but he want to show up with Oprah and her Security like he there everyday

LISTEN I’D STEP TO 50. I DON’T GIVE A F*CK. SOMEONE NEEDS TO KNOCK HIM OFF HIS PEDISTAL. TIRED OF HIS HOE ANTICS EVERY TIME HE HAS AN ALBUM COMING OUT. WE KNOW THE REAL REASON WHY HE CALLS HIMSELF 5-0. B*TCH AZZ NUCCA!

Also, why can’t Jay Z or anyone else be a multi faceted person? There is no law that says you have to be one way or another- you can be a bit of both.

Jay-Z has gotten a lot more acceptance because of Bey….

***********************************************************

I love you like a play cuz…Alrighty, but Imma disagree with you on that one. Personally I just think he grew up and developed himself into more of a business man. That wasn’t because of Bey. He wasn’t Def Jam’s CEO because of Bey. I think he proved himself.

camel stans are just as bad as beyuki stans. they think these two are God and Jesus Christ, when in reality they are the two fakest m.f.’s in the industry today. and like blind stupid sheep they follow and believe every word that they say. trust, 50 is not the only one in the industry that sees this about jay z.

Jay is the Man, 50 is not hating it’s a lot of truth to what he is saying, that being said it just goes to show JAY is human like everyone else…doing what he got to do to stay on top….Take or leave the boy is eating well. And anybody in their right mind will keep doing what they got to do to make that cake!

hate him all you want, but 50 is 100% right. white america wasn’t paying jay z no mind until he hooked up with beyonce. just like she didn’t get the little bit of street cred that she has until she got with him.

hmmm, looks like all that illuminati talk must have some kind of truth to it…

Dayg715

did you say 50 had more money then Jay? Obviously you have no sense so it makes no sense giving you a real response.

Moving on to the next news……..

@VOR

that goes for jay z as well. he doesn’t live in the hood anymore either.

50 is not the only one in the industry that sees this about jay z.

*********************************************************

BUT LET’S SPIT THE REAL ABOUT 50. HOW COME HE IS ACTING LIKE HE IS A REAL UP NORTH TYPE NUCCA…THAT NUCCA SNITCHED AND ENDED UP DOING A SHOCK TREATMENT PROGRAM… WE DONE PULLED 50′s SKIRT UP A LONG TIME AGO AND EXPOSED HIS P*SSY! JAY MAY BE PHONY BUT SO IS 50. IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE, EH?

Moving right along!!!

Hey, 50 has a new CD coming out, right? OK!

Ignorance at its finest!

Like why would you call yourself ’50 cents’ anyway?! Like it’s clear that this kat has issues!!!!!!

N E X T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

50 Cent is dating Kelly Rowland now.
He’s hating because the Knowles camp messed up her career. Gotta stand up for his girl.

Do we have to be subjected to this BS every time someone has an album coming out. This shyt is getting as old as they are. Is this really how albums sell these days and who ever has the biggest mouth is #1. This is such BS

50 FUNNY BUT HES BEING REAL AS ALWAYS.
50 IN HEAVY MODE FOR PROMO IN STUNTS SINCE HIS ALBUM DROPPIN NOV,23 SO ITS LIKE WHATEVER RIGHT NOW.

truth!

@ yika

Also, why can’t Jay Z or anyone else be a multi faceted person? There is no law that says you have to be one way or another- you can be a bit of both.
_____________________________________________________

CO-SIGN; Why is it that in the black community you have to be all or nothing. You have to be all the way hood, street ni**a or you have to be a straight up nerd. Why can’t someone take it to the next level and have a little bit of both in them. I work in corporate America everyday around the whitest of the white folks and I can kick it with them on a daily, no sweat. However, I’m still black with ghetto a** cousins and family and I’m a little hood myself and when it’s time to take it there I can. To me that seperates the winners from the losers. DIVERSITY people….you have to be diverse.

Hey bg

Sup WHOA!!!!

It always amazes me how ignorant some people are. I don’t know one person struggling and living in the projects that, if given the chance, wouldn’t leave in a heartbeat. The only people who even consider that are people who are content with being stuck in the hood. This cat has the U.S. President on speed dial, brought Oprah to the hood, and got the baddest chick in the game. Get inspired to be more more than mediocre, folks

Sio Lamar is Mr. Kardashian?

50 may be telling the truth but he’s trying to put a negative spin on something positive all because he’s jealous. Personally, I’m glad that Jay Z has had enough sense to grow up. I’ve always said that hiphop is filled with a slew of extremely immature men. That’s why record sales are down becuase those lil white boys who were buying rap cd’s 10 years ago and helping these “gangstas” to go multi platinum have all grown up now and moved on. Jay Z is a real example of what growth and progress in the hiphop generation is supposed to be and look like. It’s sad that some people choose to settle for less all because they limit themselves.

I’m not really *creaming* for neither one of these rappers, but STFU 50! The reason I say this is because you are the ULTIMATE HYPOCRITE! The claims that you make about these other grown azz men (correct or not) you yourself do or have done on multiple occasions….really!

Well, is 50 lying? Jay was not as mainstream now as he was before he hooked up with Beyonce. That’s just the honest truth. The same way Beyonce didn’t have the acceptance in the hip hop community before she hooked up with Jay.

Beyonce’s whole family done been on Oprah’s show on different occassions off the strenght of being related to her, not on their own name.

@ Slide Like A Fresh Pair of Gators

Hahahahahaha! I just re-read your post and bust out laughing at us doing “all that ni**a shyt we do.” Hahahaha! Too funny!

Toot-it-up!!!!!! whaddup baby!!!!!!

@ slide

youz-a-fool!!! lmao!!!!

Jay Z is a real example of what growth and progress in the hiphop generation is supposed to be and look like.

@AntMan

Bubba Lip Shawn is far removed from the streets and has matured and it’s shown in the subject matter in his latest albums, but some of these folks want him to CONTINUE to rap about when he used to sell drugs and CONTINUE to talk about ignorant sh*t…

Jay was already in that phase before Beyonce. Bey blew up AFTER she was linked to him.

50 can’t buy a hit. He’s over and has been for years.

@ Alrighty Then…

Good point!

Jay has a woman and she is supposed to make a man better! His woman has made him better.

on the other hand….all 50 tryna do is put Rick Ross baby momma on the cover of magazines looking like a tramp. He has no woman. Maybe that’s what he needs to get some of the anger out of his heart!

I’m jus sayin tho…..

laughing at us doing “all that ni**a shyt we do.” Hahahaha! Too funny!

@Jazmine

Guuurl!!!

Jigga is the first rapper to be on interviewed on Oprah and they want him to be all up on there actin’ ignant just to “rep for the hood” and “keep it real”…

These people actin’ like they don’t got no home training and don’t know how to act accordingly when at certain places… SMH

I just got one question = Where the f*ck is Brooklyn at???

@Rome

Word!
Jay is a clever man, cleverer than 50. That man has mad money and longevity. 50 no-sence is bitter. Oh yeah and he gets sleep with Beyonce.

Pure ignorance at its finest! People when are we going to stop blaming others for our problems and start doing something for ourselves!! UGH!

HERE’S THE TRUTH…

Jay Z – yes, he may never go back to Marcy, but he still keeps it black so I have no problem with him.

50 Cent – is this the same dude that Jim Jones had hiding under a table? No one is scared of you either dude

Kanye – makes better rhymes than Jay Z & 50 so at least he focuses on his talent. He is VERY inappropriate many times but everyone has there faults

50 is right he didnt go in on jay he told the truth period he got a pass n is using the hell out of it taking full advantage. He is winning being mr. beyonce knowles

hoe sit down

Ok Ok folks… lets be real here. No one can get to the level that these guys have got to by “keeping it hood” 100%. It’s not a black mans world and you can attract mainstream USA with that hood mentality, so folks need to grow up at some point in time.

Can’t stand both of them, but Fifty told nothing but the truth.

Curtis Jackson is an intelligent man, 50 cent is a thug.

two clowns talking about how the other is not gangsta…neither one of them are…real gangstas don’t make albums, they are too busy living the life and the realest die too soon or go to jail before starting a rap career…

Rise above this!

Jay-Z is where 50 and the rest of Hip Hop wannabe’s…. wanna be! And, 50 don’t mind deceiving u n2 thinking he’s trying 2 stay hood.

Jay-Z improved his life. And….the problem is????

love him r hate him 50 is telling the truth. Jay got a beyonce pass and using the hell out of it u cant knock the hustle.

50 you ARE starting to bore me. I mean 8 years ago when I was listenin to strickly hip hop at 2 in the mornin with my ex and you was riding on Ja Rule and Ashanti, that was the funniest shit.. Back when Banks’ rhymes were quotable. But now 50- now- IS REALLY REALLY GETTING OLD BOO!

****** IMPORTANT VIEW

Jayz is giving 50 cent the lil Mamma treatment in the pic at the top. He is grabing the hell out of 50 cent’s wrist, squeezing it with a claw form grab.WTF was that about.LOL

50 is irrelevant from here on out. How many times has his album got pushed back? He’s done and he knows it. You didn’t see Jay doin these publicity stunts before his album came out. And no push backs for Jay. 50 is GARBAGE.

@Jazmine- and Oprah CLOWNED Chris Bridges about using the N word, when that wasn’t even the premise of the show… I still say she owes him a damn apology…

@ Alrighty Then….

I’m with you! She was very rude and kept cutting him off while he spoke acting as if she really didn’t want him there. But if we get on Oprah’s a** we’ll be here all day. LOL

Hey Romey ROme!!!!

Now bruh, you know that duplicity is required to make it in this world, corporate or otherwise… So long as you know how to act in “mixed company”, what’s the problem?
____________________________________________

@Alrighty Then…

Sis, what I had said was in response to some of the earlier comments that I read and didn’t agree with – that’s all… I’m on the same page as you…

By the way, did you really move just to get away from your former life (*I believe you said that yesterday) what was you doing and who were you involved with, was it really that bad that you had to up and move??? By the way, congrats ’cause it seems as though you turned your life around and are doing well for yourself = Good Job for turning your life around…

If Ja-z is Mr Knowles then 50 is Mrs Eminem because he would be no where without that white boy.

Let’s get this straight………….
Jay-Z has not been hood since ’99….. he is no longer a thug,he polished himself into a business man…. at the end of the day,he need
to play both sides of the field….

Jay has more money. He already won.

Anyone who believes this bullsh!t is a dumbazz. Both of them niccas got too much money to be street niccas and 50 knows that. So, if he want to stay relevant he just need to make good music or step aside and let one of the yungins come up. He should know by now. If he couldn’t win against a former correctional officer…what make him think he can win with jigga. Especially wit jigga having one of the hottest rap albums this year. 50 need to sit his ho azz down some where. LMAO!!!

people sayin that 50 is tellin the truth:
some things he said were right. i’ve said from moment one that kanye’s softness wouldn’t step on stage at the source (still happening?) or BET hip hop honors talkin that ridiculousness.
however, 50′s rant about bein from the hood and aura and all that retardedness. please. 50 has more money than everyone on this comment board. and he talkin bout the hood. 50 just wants to try to play the card and reject the fact that poverty+ignorance can =hood, but ignorance+wealth just = ignorance.
you got money curtis. elevate yourself and your state of mind. let go of this desire to still be considered gutta, cause you’re def not. talkin yayo on one interview but obviously attempting to speak intelligently WHILE IN A SUIT at another interview is also playin both sides of the fence. raise the people up within the hood and support positivity within it. don’t try to continue to say your are at a low level that most there would love to get out of jus to gain the respect of a few ignorant people and sell records…cause you’re not gonna sell anyway. we all know you put everything you had in get rich, and now you –literally– have no good music in you.
SMWDH (shakin mah wavy disgusted head)

50 is stupid i thought the oprah thing was a good look for jay 50 him self was on the tyra banx show and on cnbc in a suit talkin abt stock 50 just a hater..

**YAWN**

JB whaddup!!

Fifty is hating but he does have a point….

Hate to admit it..50 is right on this one.

HEY PEOPLE,
THIS IS ALL PUBLICITY STUFF…HALF THESE RAPPERS THAT BEEF HAVE LUNCH THE NEXT DAY TALKING ABOUT STRATEGIES.

What up everybody?

*FIRST* Rapper on Oprah I could be wrong

If this aint the pot calling the kettle…

So, then when 50 is out promoting his book or at business meetings for Vitamin Water, is he still being hood?

Agrees with Fifty

Lady A!!!!!!

Now that’s my baby!!!

@ SLIDE

I TALK LIKE BECKY AT WORK!!! LMAOOO!

THAT IS WHY THEY HIRED ME. I ANSWER PHONES, THEY WANT BECKY… I WANTED A JOB. THERE YOU GO!

HEY LADY A

If Ja-z is Mr Knowles then 50 is Mrs Eminem because he would be no where without that white boy.

************************************************************

TRRRUUUUUUTTTTTHHHHH!

50 is right… Mr. Knowles is two faced

why cant we all just leave jay alone and let him celebrate.

Let;s breakdown 50cent…destroyed by kanye with last album….jay-z destroyed him at summer jam…50 is playin on the public ignorance…real gangstas dont live in the hood first of all… anybody really about that knows that…second its not like 50 in the hood everyday either…but its funny how beyonce makes more money than 50 but not Jay-Z…yall fall for this gangsta and hollywood crap…why cant people open there eyes and see that being less hood is a good thing…u got grow sometimes…50 cent is a joke…Jay-z is making history and you are all able to witness it…so is kanye…open your eyes…

i dont like 50 but hes right about camel

@ I’m Just Me: Keeping It Real Since 1983′s Comment; **Stamped DAT**

Yeah, and this is why 50 was walking around with Martha Stewart because he’s so hood. (lmao) There’s nothing wrong with being from the hood but let’s be real people that grow up in the hood don’t want to stay there. 50 knows this.

Should Jay-Z not evolve, should he stay in the same mind frame when he was selling drugs at a younger age, what are you really saying, 50? You, yourself have evolved. You came out saying you wasn’t an Actor, but yet you are in films, you came saying that you don’t sing in your raps, but almost all of your music, you are singing…Your first almost was very hard and gangsta, ever since, you have matured “some” in your music….If you can evolve, why can’t Jay-Z?

This coming form the man that hung out w/Bette Midler.
HAHAHAH

LOL, I didn’t do any homework but I do believe that Jay does NOT have the bread that he claims he does. My bad I wasn’t an economics major but I think they have a saying like most of that is liquid or assets

Yeah he does even on his own from yearly net gains not including his residual income from previous ventures. One could even include joint assets that they have as one of the top power couples in the entertainment industry over all its all well documented from Forbes to Wall Street Journal.As far as being the “dopest” MC or most successful rapper of them all in the industry, guess that is the DJ in me but out of curiosity overall who is his parallel – its like MJ there is none…

As far as 50 being right, its whatever anyone that knows 50 and he conducts his business knows its all a ploy for marketing pure and simple. He and Jay regularly vie for the yearly Hip Hop Cash Kings on Forbes if anything its probably already pre conceived. Thats like laughing at some of the comments about people thinking 50 is right about what or who ? I wonder those people knows where 50 resides and been residing he follows the same exact principles as Hov.Is he keeping his “hood” aura out in the ghettos of suburban Connecticut ?

Gotta luv 50!! LMAO!! He says whatever he wants to say and aint nobody going to do anything about it. He’s right, the camel is really Mr. Knowles. There’s alot of things he wouldn’t be doing right now if it weren’t for Beyonce. (including dropping a new album) Seems like he’s just trying to keep up with her. A male ego thing!!

You gotta love 50!!!!!!! LOL he knows how to say nothing and get people hyped over it. LOL how many people are mad about what 50 has to say even tho you know he makes some sense but and you already know it is all about publicity!!!! I won’t hate on Curtis!!! LOL keep doing what you doing baby. It’s working!!!!!!!!

“If Ja-z is Mr Knowles then 50 is Mrs Eminem because he would be no where without that white boy.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well go head and preach then. lol

DO PEOPLE LIKE 50 NEW SONG CUZ HIM AND THE STANS SAID ITS A HIT?

*********************************************************

Just because he keeps his name in the news doesn’t mean he will sell any records. I think that showed and proved with the Curtis album. Kanye outsold his behind in the US and Worldwide….so really, it doesn’t help his cause.

Well put, although, he shouldn’t throw stones, because he was on Tyra and endorses a self-branded vita-water or whatever that (faux-healthy) drink is called. He was climing the “corporate rap” ladder, as well. The thing is, he’s pretty real. Jay is a phony. He bit off of Jaz-O’s name and style of flow, he even bit off of Jesus’s name. He’s a gimick.

Jesus’

“I’M ABOUT A DOLLAR WHAT THE F*CK IS 50 CENTS?”

Curtis needs to admit that he is fag. Bottomline. He pays more attention to men than he does women.

That IS the same 50 cent that was on The Tyra Show right???

50 keeping it hood!
but how that line from d.o.a go?

“i dont wanna hear about you chillen in the projects all day / thats STUPID to me / if you feel you gangsta,this is how you prove it to me” UHH!

WOW This is the first time I can honestly say I agree with something coming from fifty, of course Jay is Mr Knowles, Jay was hoping him and Beyonce would have been the next Beckhams have they ever done a joint interview together anywhere fake marriage

I actually disagree with Curtis. Shawn was from the streets, that’s true, but he had the things coming together with the NBA, the Rockafella clothing line, and the other endorsements before he married Beyonce. I realize I am critical of Shawn, but I also recognize that he made his own way. Club 40/40 has nothing to do with Beyonce, as neither do the others. Curtis has nerve trying to suggest Shawn is not ‘hard’; Curtis did the endorsement for Vitamin Water, and also taunts other grown men whichs makes anyone question his own sexuality. He needs to STFU promptly.

I agree with you, Born. all of them are imposters to real rap.

fiddy is just mad b/c jay and yeezy are better than he ever was.

LOL, 50 and Jay have been taking these passive aggressive shots at each other for years, I wish they would just declare war once and for all. 50 better be careful he doesn’t bite off more than he can chew, tho.

I love how the one who is isnt invited calls it punk moves, he wishes he could. Wait where does 50 live again Conn. in a gated community. Who are his neighbors Dr and Mrs Finklestein, not Shaqueta Jackson, GTFOH which that gansta shit, by a project and live in it hoodrat.

Look, at least Jay doesn’t have to talk Shit!!! to sell records, let’s see if he comes out at #1, he’ll NEVER break Jay record. We like Jay because he performs and shut up!! 50, isn’t he a bit old for that name??? I’m just saying. 50 SHUT UP TRICK!!!!!

50 NEED TO SIT DOWN HE AINT SAID NOTHING UNTIL HIS ALBUM IS DUE… JAY IS TRYING TO MAKE MONEY HE KNOWS YOU CANT BE ACCEPTED IN CERTAIN CIRCLES WITH YOUR PANTS SAGGIN TALKIN ABOUT “YOU NO WHAT IM SAYIN” ALL THE TIME, TO BANK YOU HAVE TO CROSSOVER AND THATS WHY 50 WILL NEVR HAVE JAY TYPE FINANCING OPTIONS

love how the one who is isnt invited calls it punk moves, he wishes he could. Wait where does 50 live again Conn. in a gated community. Who are his neighbors Dr and Mrs Finklestein, not Shaqueta Jackson, GTFOH which that gansta shit, by a project and live in it hoodrat.

***********************************************************

PREACH!!!

50 SEE US WHEN YOU HAVE HAD 11 NUMBER ONE ALBUMS. THE MAN BEAT ELVIS!! WHEN YOU START BREAKING SOME HISTORIC RECORDS…COME SEE US CURTIS. UNTIL THEN, SIT DOWN, SHUT THE F*CK UP AND STUDY THIS BLUE PRINT!!!

50 is right, Beyonce helped Jay get invited to balls/award shows etc…. Some of you need to stop throwing up the Roc because your vision is cloudy!

For once I agree with what 50 says…

i cant front,jay’s been fallin off the last two albums…….but that BP3 just put him right back on top. i take it back jay!

at first i thought it was i’m just me but mad stupid comments. One Jay always tlkn abt he dont say he from the hood, he’s beyond that yet every second he always talkn abt Marcy. 50 always in an around Queens, admittedly like i said before..he seems to roll with the D boys alot tho. As for that multi faceted BS, that’s a$$. You cant play both sides, either ur for or against. You either hood or u aint; pretending to be both is retarded becuz like was said, u aint been to marcy in a min b4 the oprah fiasco and u doing alot of upscale stuff which i aint knockin….Fake pretending to be hood is like you pretending to be there goin thru what i’m goin thru or understanding how my situation is today not 8 years ago when u were there. Times changed and got harder, you pretending is you lying about sharing my hardships with me and doin stuff to help me out of it. being hood dont mean just sellin dope and hustling….like i say, alot of you live in the hood but dont even know what being hood is. You live in it but arent of it, u just exist there. Being hood bout takin care of where u from and looking our for ya peoples in ya community, looking out for ya own. u aint gotta finance everything but appearances at schools and kids programs would help inspire alot of kids. 50 be doin this throughout Queens yet yall dnt talk abt that. He aint startin nothing; for those of you who cant read. The interviewer asked him about it, he didnt bring it up so he was just responding to the question. Someone said they could step to 50, with all the cops and ni66az he be rollin with, you’d either end up in jail or in a body bag. Do like Loso and make ya sentence seem like it wasnt what it appeared to be

” i got a million ways to get it!”

Jay would have never been on Oprah if it wasnt for Beyonce, he wasnt on there before her and he was already famous with clothing lines etc. Jay still rapping the same ole same ole dressing like a kid but Beyonce keeps him relevant at this point…..

Being multifaced means you have multiple faces, thats not a good thing. Honest/Real people have one face, the same way all the time. Basically Jay is two faced if you want to call him multifaced.

50 is right, Beyonce helped Jay get invited to balls/award shows etc…. Some of you need to stop throwing up the Roc because your vision is cloudy!

*********************************************************

Who cares about some daxn VH-1 or MTV award show??? This man had businesses WAY before BEYONCE even thought about being Mrs. Carter.

@ Holla

HOW IS THE VIEW DOWN THERE AROUND 50′s NUTS?? They are my opinion, and I am entitled to it.

Thank you!!

I swear the mentality of some is so messed up. People too readily accept “hood mentality” today. People with 50s mentality calls those who study in school white, who can speak well and not use ebonics 24/7 a sellout and feel the only way you can be respected is if you commit criminal acts or be an entertainer. Theres a reason why the black male population in college is only a fraction of those in prison. It’s really time to grow people. If the ghetto is so great why does everyone leave it when they become successful like…50 cent? He didn’t make his millions making deals with Pookie and dem.

@Im Just Me

I am not talking about MTV or BET awards, Im speaking of NY balls that are for the more elite that Jay was not invited to before because he was just a rapper. Obama’s inaug. Do you think Jay Z would have been invited and performed if it wasnt because of Beyonce? Even though he was business savvy doesnt mean he was accepted in certain circles, Beyonce lightened he image up. They have been together for 10 years, before that he was not on the social level that he is on now even though he was already a star. Oprah wouldnt have had him on her show or magazine if it werent for Beyonce, she sure didnt before when he was already “business savvy”

50 Cent’s formula is getting old.

Exactly he is not hood anymore, but his image is…. so he is selling a lie!

Ignorance n@gga and gangster!!

Exactly he is not hood anymore, but his image is…. so he is selling a lie!

***********************************************************

Seems to me that the people will not disassociate that image from him and not the other way around.

50 pennies is full of it. How much crid does he have hanging out with Martha Stewart and Liza Minneli and going to Fashion Week in France? He’s just like Jay-Z only worse…he’s a hypocrite.

******************************************************

Okay I can agree with SOME of this. But I still feel that man was on his grown man business before her. She may have helped but I don’t think SHE MADE HIM.

@Im Just

I agree, she didnt make him because he had a career before her. I think socially and image wise she turned him into something he wasnt before. If they break up it will be interesting to see if he is still relevant in certain circles.

I did not read one lie from 50 everything he said is the truth as Jay wants to have it both ways and you can’t BLACK BONO!

50 Cent 100% right on this one!
Love u 50!!

PS: Wassup wit all these nuccas, Mr Jay Z Knowles, Mr. Lamar Kardashian, soon-to-be Mr. Reggie Kardashian?!?

All punks!

.

One more thought—

Whether Jay has changed because of Beyonce’s camp, it’s a known fact that he’s certainly not where he used to be when he started rapping out in Marcy PJ’s.

If any of you have been in your careers more than five years and you’re at the same place where you started…well then, you may want to switch careers.

It’s called growth–people!!

HEY BIG SIS!!

Love you!

I am with you on this one Kenny! You know “high-class” societies will turn their backs on you quickly and act like you never even hung out at their house or ate dinner with them.

oh plz jay called him out first

OK, I can’t stand 50 but I have admit that he does have a point about Jay-Z being “Hollywood” now and having a “pass.” Regardless, 50 is the king of hating and he’s just trying to get some attention before another wack a– album comes out. More power to him. NEXT…

I don’t know, can someone translate holler monkey? It’s diificult to read what 50 is saying. Every interview he has makes me say, WTF? It’s like you have to remove every other word.

DEAR 50 CENT,

CAN YOU BE HOOD AND A DECLARED REPUBLICAN???

Inquiring minds would LOVE to know

WTF…..Did I just see someone try, attempt or dare to give hood a noble slant…LOL.

What’s up? My brotha.

HELLLO BLACK FOLKS BEING GANGSTA IS WACK, I PROMISE THUG, GANGSTA, STUDIO GANGSTA, IS WACK….Trust me trying to act like tough will get you azz kilt unless you play thug and walk around with 30 body guards and gay rappers (BANKS)

And 50 never made no money in the streets any way…Unlike JAY who is from the real….50 making his money off Vitamin water…Do you hear Jay hating no, he probably wont even respond, why should he when dude that work for him already destroyed him with sales…And to all the ignorant people 50 does not have more money than J, he just made more the last two years with vitamin water…See J got long money like 11 albums worth…50 get you resume up!

PLUS..JAY SHOWS HOW A STREET DUDE CAN TRANSITION TO THE BOARD ROOM AND STILL MAKE LIFE CHANGING DECISIONS IN THE ELOQUENT STYLE HE WAS BORN WITH WITHOUT BEING AN UNCLE TOM. 50 IS HAVING TROUBLE DOING THAT..oooohhhhhhh

thank you Dave. 50 really didn’t make any money off the vitamin water like he said. that company has been manufacturing that water back when i was in elementary school( the 80′s). 50 had an endorsement deal with them. that’s why Coca-Cola quickly released a statement about how much 50 made off the deal compared to the actually company who ‘used’ his name amongst other known artists at the time. and trust, 50 didn’t measure up to the campany that used his name on one of their drinks… no 400 million for him… not even close. Jay doesn’t have to lie about his money.

Does what 50 said really have any truth at all? I don’t really care about Jay-Z’s ghetto pass but I do care that many people seem to think that he some how isn’t a man or can’t be tough because he’s grown as a person. The Kennedy’s, Rockafeller’s, and Getty’s all started out doing illegal activities to make money. Once they made money they moved on to more “legal” means and mainstreamed because who wants to be a gangster at 50? This attitude that Jay-Z loses some credibility because Obama & Oprah like him is idiotic. The man is 40 and killing the a game usually reserved for 20 somethings.

I don’t even like 50, but he speaks the truth about Kanye and Jay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holla whoever you are i really don’t give two f***s about what they do in BK or Queens or that he came to your cousins school. I’m from B-More and no artists come to our schools or does charities for out area. and as far as ‘hood’ goes i know the difference between the true meaning and misappropriation of the word, so save me your fake a$$ speak on the meaning. i really don’t respond to these sites, but i thought i would try it out this one time. i’ve probably seen and done more than you could imagine in my 26yrs and still managed to make something worthy out of myself, so as far as i goes for me what you say is irrelavant. say what you want after this… “…Diss me you’ll never hear reply for it…” yeah quoted Drake.

@ Holla

You are entitled to your opinion. Yes, you may have given me some new info to think about but I am going to stick with my opinion.

Have a good night!

NEW YORK – MAY 19: Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Gayle King attends Bette Midler’s New York Restoration Project’s 8th Annual Spring Picnic at the New Leaf Restaurant & Bar on May 19, 2009 in New York City.

everybody wish they were jayonce! two legends married and sitting on top of the world, so HA!
50 cents is jealous!

What people don’t know and I always find it suprising is 50 treats the rap game like boxing. If you’re considered #1 he’s coming after you. That’s his MO its not personal, its competition to him. So don’t take it so serious, he loves being the villan its a something he’s comfortable in being “comfortable in conflict”

Gooo 50 llol BLAH!

Ah, there goes the dichotomy that continues to kill young black men. You’ve gotta be the hood thug OR the intellectual type, because God forbid that you can actually manage to use your mind, without trying to be macho. You see it all time, men with the smarts and the careers to go along with it, but they’re also a MAN. Problem is, you’ll hardly see any black men that fit this description. Why? Because we glorify the thug image WAAAAYYYYY too much in our community, then we want to make excuses about society holding us down because they only want “safe” people. I get the concept of the Token Blackie, but you can still do what you need to do as a man, without feeling like you’re compromising your manhood. To me, guys that glorify the thug/pimp image, toting around guns and walking with saggy jeans are less of a man than the Jay-Z you see on Oprah.

WOW… SEEMS LIKE DUDE FROM COMPLEX IS AN INSTIGATOR HE DON’T LIE JAY… MR. KNOWLES HUH… I AINT MAD AT JAY…SHOOT HE GETTING OLDER… WHY NOT USE YOUR WIFE STATUS… SHE HAS USED HIS TO GET THAT EDGE CREDIBILITY…50 BOY PLEASE SIT DOWN… ALREADY… CANT BE MAD AT JAY FOR BEING SMART ABOT HIS.. HE TRYNG TO EACH A BILLI….

AND JAY NEEDS TO STAY QUIET….FORGET THIS HOOD MESS…. JAY DON’T NEED TO RESPOND TO THAT DERILICK…. DON’T HELP HIM SELL A CD….

I think 50 speaks the truth. I also loved his Behind the Music. He seems like a very charming person! His sense of humor is great!

Thank you to everyone who believes that a grown man should act like a grown man. One should realize that regardless if an individual makes sense any facid of any comments they make, not entirely the case with 50, that they themselves should not contradict the very words coming out of their mouth. If Jay is using Bee for any notoriety( I think I spelled that right) that’s his wife and she definitely used his name. 50 used other men in the hip hop industry to elevate his status and respect level. eventhough I listen to some of his music that i find interesting( and by that I mean the ones where he doesn’t sound like Ja Rule)I still don’t agree with what comes out of his mouth- the same goes for Kanye. when you progress in this world to become a productive member of society you shouldn’t be scolded by the HATERS who are jealous. thank you

Really 50? Really……. I cant even comment on this ignorant shit!!!

uuuuuh, he’s almost right.

It’s not that he has more success due to more recognition from being partnered up with Beyonce.

It’s throught the Knowles that he has discovered how to conduct business and take it to the next level.

Doesn’t mean he’s gonna have long-term success (judging from what I saw on oprah’s show), but he has learned how to open doors for himself.

Now….there’s still a chance that he could end up like Mr. Dash, cuz sustained success comes from more than giving a yes or a no cuz something sounds good…..or implementing an idea cuz u have the means to do so. Jay-z appears to be lacking in this department.

I cannot stand 50, but he is RIGHT. J-Z is only getting accepted by whites because of his white wife Beyonce.

Fif, Fiddy, Shiddy or what ever he goes by, Boy you bout as dumb as a bag of monkey nutz!

Listen up boy! Street is Street and Business is Business.

Anybody in their right mind will adjust themselves according to their surroundings. It’s only dumb a$$es that do the same $hit and expect different results!

:-/

Niether Jay nor 50 are gangsters…. 50 was asked a question and he answered. So people get over yourselves. NExT~~~>

you could still be hood and intellectual. It not that jay sold out or forget where he came from its about balance and wisdom jay cant be the big pimpn or supa ugly hov from way back the dude married and grown up curtis need to follow the lead to act your age and stop feelin thearten if the beats good and the flow good you’ll sell albums dog

SO WHAT IF HE IS MR KNOWLES. THE FAMOUS PLAYER CUB LINE. YOU GOTTA USE WHAT YOU GOT TO GET WHAT YOU WANT. JAYS A SMART MAN IN LOVE. 50 AINT GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT MAKE TROUBLE TO SALE HIS ALBUM.

He is NOT stirring the pot. What is said is 100% true. I have liked JayZ’s music and 50′s. I do not agree with either if they are wrong. Jay Z didn’t stand up and say that Kanye was out of line. He did it in a round about fashion to appease his “new” fans. That is just the truth. There is away to be honest and not throw Kanye under the bus. He went soft.

u is going to rock vandy in nov i thinking about going to your show or just go around the world

Ok why even address this when they are ALL fake gangsters that take turns hitting each other from the back. It’s really just a waste of breath. I mean fat azz Rick Ross’s songs sound good like a mug, and everybody want to ride his C-O status as if they ALL aren’t undercover agents. I mean come on turn the lights on in here already!

Aww…Ciara can’t put you back on 50? Why can’t Jay socialize with those who didn’t come from Marcy projects. The distinction between Jay and 50 is handling business at the top of tier in which 50 is limited!!

Dear there is something about an overly masculine homosexual that just makes me slightly nervous.

It’s called maturing. Jay is doing music and living life while 50 is being miserable. Some of y’all are about as ignorant as Mr. 50. Some of you are the reason that life is getting worse for blacks. Ignorance loves ignorance and if you didn’t notice life is getting worse because of the glorification of ignorance by people who are ignorant.

Wakeup ignorant people. Hope you all aren’t parents. That would be scary as hell.
