50 Cent On Tony Yayo & Lloyd Banks: “Some People, They’re Like Milk. They Have An Expiration Date”

    50 Cent provides an explanation why his time with former G-Unit members Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks has run its course. 

    “Some people, they’re like milk,” 50 Cent says during an interview with The Breakfast Club. “They have an expiration date and no matter what you do, they’ll spoil after a while.”

    Regarding Tony Yayo specifically, 50 Cent says that his former associate did not evolve. “I’ve done a lot for him to the point that being personable with people they’ll feel like that homeboy code, guy code type of energy,” says 50 Cent, who says that he edited Tony Yayo out of most of his appearances in the video for “Hold On.” “They’ll be like, ‘You know what? You got it so you should give it to me,’ versus what makes sense. If you don’t sustain your value in the marketplace, I got to pay you the market rate.”

    Given that he has fallen out with several of his former friends, 50 Cent says that he makes a point to evaluate his own actions.

    “I do have to take a look at myself,” he says. “In Banks’ case, I could be considered a little insensitive at some points because I didn’t have those different things in my life. When his father passed, he went home and he just was like, he crossed his arms and was like just there until I came to get him. Then you heard ‘Beamer, Benz or Bentley.’

    50 Cent also discussed the evolution of Puff Daddy during his interview with The Breakfast Club. 

    “Puff is an excellent entertainer, not an artist,” 50 Cent says. “He can say [his lyrics]. He didn’t write it. He’s not going to convince any of us that he wrote it. It was a part of his actual marketing. ‘Don’t worry ‘bout if I write rhymes. I write checks.’ For me, I look at it and I go, ‘OK. But now you can’t tell us that you singing the song like that, ‘cause that’s why we got rid of Milli Vanilli.’ We cross the lines, it get really interesting. We said that wasn’t cool. Now we’re saying it’s cool.”

    1. Epic interview from Godfather 50 dropping gems and keeping it 100.

      One of the only real niggas left in rap.

    2. LMAO the first day Revolt starts doing The Breakfast Club 50 goes on there and shits on him, French and Rick Ross.

      1. Diddy is a superb business man, he can use Curtis to promote his own Network which is why Diddy is still on Interscope and Curtis is gone. LMFAO

    3. he said he kept getting up on the plane and walking by ja rule to make him feel uncomfortable LOLOLOLOL

    4. While 50’s right, its ironic considering how his expiration date’s long past.

      Ross always helps others and has a long career ahead.

      1. he kicked his day one crew to the side to try and make money off meek and wale while gunplay is 35 and has no release date for his first ever rap album.

      2. that is true ross not loyal fif made every member rich buck fucked up when a g-unit member dropped a album the whole camp stepped back to let that member shine

      3. Ross and 50 have a diffrent philosophy, 50 wants yes men and underlings beneath him who he pays money to and expects them to be underneath him.

        Ross mentors his artists into expanding their own brands and being their own Bosses with their own teams but still under MMG.

        Thats why Gunplay has Bildeberg, Torch has Specialyist and Young Breed has X-tortion.

        Have you ever heard of Banks and Yayo as CEOs of their own brands? Ever hear of Yayo or Banks breaking a new artist?

        When the leader is weak the team wont last.

      4. sup bruthadee?

        did u watch the interview, 50 said he wanted his artists to be like kanye and lil wayne

      5. “Ross mentors his artists into expanding their own brands and being their own Bosses with their own teams but still under MMG.

        Thats why Gunplay has Bildeberg, Torch has Specialyist and Young Breed has X-tortion.”

        And those “brands” end up being failures. Ross doesn’t mentor his artists into doing anything.

      6. Once you establish your own brand you learn the executive side of the business and you can make better moves for yourself and your team.

        Banks and Yayo had to fall off in their careers because their leader fell off without them having their own brand.

        How can you be Lloyd Banks signed to a rapper that’s signed to a rapper that’s signed to a rapper that’s signed to Jimmy Iovine?

        Interscope/Aftermath/Shady/GUnit ……..so where is Lloyds piece of the pie?

      7. “Once you establish your own brand you learn the executive side of the business and you can make better moves for yourself and your team.”

        Just give up. MMG artists don’t have their own real brands.

        “Banks and Yayo had to fall off in their careers because their leader fell off without them having their own brand.”

        Same can be said about MMG and Ross.

        “How can you be Lloyd Banks signed to a rapper that’s signed to a rapper that’s signed to a rapper that’s signed to Jimmy Iovine?”

        “Interscope/Aftermath/Shady/GUnit ……..so where is Lloyds piece of the pie?”

        You have no idea what you’re talking about.

      1. Rick Ross was a CO not a cop. A very big difference you big dummy & I could careless if he was a cop, because they are some the biggest gangstas out here ya big dummy!!!!!!!

      2. If he was a gangsta ass CO he would’ve been saying that from the begining. He wasn’t not one of those CO’s you’re talking about, that would’ve gave him a lane besides being the millionth trap rapper out here.

      3. I have no beef with COs, you have good ones and bad ones just like you have good and bad people in every other profession. I despise criminals because they prey on our communities and destroy lives.

      4. He said a “gangsta CO”, LOLOL, he was 19 and did that shit for a year so either he had a ulterior motive for doing it or it just wasnt him.

        All we know is that their are pictures of Rozay from when he was 18 to 21 and he had a diamond encrusted braclet, and a diamond chain and a clean ass ride on rims…..no beard at the time.

        Pictures of him at 20 years old with no beard partying with Shaq, pictures of him half his size kicking it with Tupacs cousin K Kastro, the nigga always been about his money and his hustle.

        He admitted to working as a CO, a roofing job and a job picking watermelons and I dont doubt the nigga had 2 jobs 3 hustles and a side hustle because his work ethic and hustle is incredible.

      1. How is he lazy? He got black balled by his former bully boss and now probably feels it’s not worth going through the motions to sell peanuts.

      2. 50 tried to sabotage his own artist Young Buck and Young Buck was still under contract….that’s hustling backwards.

      3. If I owned a company and one of my employees “dissed” me or talked ill of me I would probably stop paying him and not leave a good reference for his next job.

    5. When Animal Paws does 40k 1st week Diddy will laugh and continue making more money than Curtis ever will.

      1. This guy is a black hole of negativity, now it makes sense why he cant maintain normal relationships with the people around him.

      2. Diddy is more mature than Curtis, Diddy may be a snake when it comes to business but he is not vindictive and hateful.

      3. Diddy just purchased his own Network and these clowns talking about him writing songs, LMAO.

        Curtis been in the game 20 years and still cant run a succeful record label.

      4. “Curtis been in the game 20 years and still cant run a succeful record label.”

        Same can be said about Diddy.

    6. FUCK what anybody says,Lloyd Banks is the best rapper out right now..People sleep on his skills just cause of g-unit affiliation. PLK top 5. Listen to FNO and CC2…CC3 Coming soon. The only thing thats wrong with banks is that he’s lazy as fuck…He doesn’t do promo, he doesn’t do interviews and he doesn’t do VIDEOS…He just goes in the booth, spits fire, releases it and we dont hear for him for 9 months…He’s out fuckin bitches and doing shows in Europe n shit

    7. he kicked his day one crew to the side to try and make money off meek and wale while gunplay is 35 and has no release date for his first ever rap album.”

      He never kicked his day one crew, they still with him. They are just taking too long to work on their albums. That’s them. 50 cent kicked his loyal friends to the curb in the hopes of getting a release date for his own album.

      1. Triple C’s was on Self Made Vol3 that dropped last year, Gunplay is 35 and has a solo deal with
        Def Jam, Tony Yayo is 45 and has no deal and vents his frustration with 50 on his Instagram.

      2. 50 Cent kicked his day 1 crew to the side Yayo and Banks) so he could make money off Kid Kid and
        Precious Paris. Tony Yayo is 45 and crying on Instagram about 50 being a homo.

      3. Wait, 50 disses tony and lloyd while ross supports wale and mill and I got it backwards? Also, Ross never kicked anyone out. They are the ones taking too long to release their albums. Ross is always there for them.

        Also, Compiliation albums don’t sell a lot these days so its normal for Self Made. Also, Gunplay doesn’t have a release date? Neither does Dr Dre.

      4. MMG artists take too long with their shit and when they do release their shit, it flops. Also, Ross kicked Pill out of MMG. Self-Made is a flop, regardless.

    8. title is misleading. he explained it. that he spoied them. meaning they never had to work very hard. they success came off of his success. diddy. been in the game atleast 10 years ahead of 50. none of his own artist are as financially straight as 50 artist. gunit got bootlegged more than ross and his whole crew sold and got bootlegged. ccc aint sold shit. gunplay torch etc. wale was already established that dont count. and meek was on his way with ti until he went to jail. he made himself hot. ross aint even over his own artist in sells except for features. beg for mercy hunger for more cashville buck the word predicate felon all out sold ross. guess whos back probably outsold ross and that shit was indy. 50 back indy! he probably wont even pay soundscan to show his sells. for you dicks all the sells dont get counted. only the companies that have an account with soundascan. mom and pop store sells dont count or concert album sells. 40000 90000 indy is great fucking business! but u dicks and dick riders think first week sales pay artist. the artist is the ast person paid! ross aint getting no money off going gold with all them splits! management, slip and slide, def jam, unversal, producers, singers, features, writers, art, promotion,etc. when his points is maybe 25 maybe! lost!

    9. I understand 50 on this, you can’t go on holding a grown man’s hand. After a while they gotta make their own and contribute not just take and take. Yayo and Banks should be on par or at least not too far behind 50 if they kept making moves and investments instead of buying dumb shit.

    10. Meek and wale had a buzz before ross signed them. do your home work kids. wale was already on interscope so it was easy to PASS his contract off. torch be in my hood all the time Castle HIll. Been doing his own thing. i’ve been saying this for the longest what 50 said. he wants his artists to be able to move on their own. wayne has drake and nicki. kanye has big sean & pusha t. jay has j.cole. 50 has…. dudes are just lazy. they have their own money to put out as many videos as they want. everyone shoots videos for their mixtapes these days. banks may have had te best mixtapes as of late, but no videos though? think about i ttho.

    11. CURTIS JACKSON,U MY FRIEND ARE THE MILK..AND U HAVE EXPIRED.

      CURTIS “TWITTER CENT” JACKSON aka “ACTUAL-ACTUALLY” JACKSON

      (2003-2007) R.I.P CURLY, TIME TO PUT THE WIG ON TRANNY.

    12. Did they put a mirror in front of him when he started to talk about expiry dates? He needs to wake up.

    13. Yo Tony Yayo needs to chop back at this fool.Yo Banks u need to clap back at this fool. I need to hear diss records. I Curtis been disrespecting u 2 for ages now. Yall need to grow some balls n diss this fool.

    14. This dude must be mentally challenged. U noticed how they ask him a direct question he drifts to something else?

      They asked him why everyone close or around him (apart from the Lloyd Banks situation) seems to flip on him? This fool is talking about people losing their Jobs at Interscope, what the fuck has that got to do with the question u retard?

      1. its like a ross interview where the answer to every questions is most definitely how hes a boss gettin money and winning

    15. Ross went and signed Fat Trel and Tracy T and in less than 3 months both of those artists had their own videos for their own singles and a video with Ross.

      MMG has done three retail compilations to give their artists exposure in addition to 2 Mixtape compilations with the 3rd on the way in a few weeks.

      GUnit is dead.

      1. what that mean beyond ross capitalizing off of them to get his money back?

        regardless of what you feel, G-Unit already did that. MMG is trying to catch up.

        get a better argument that one was weak

      2. MMG is still going on while 50 is still trying to get his own album out. Call me when 50’s next album outsell mastermind opening weekend.

      3. 1st week sales don’t validate you lame, lol

        that resume ain’t yours to attach that too and you damn sure ain’t a part of that project, why someone need to contact you?

        you so pussy with it, you don’t even think 1st week #1 sellers get outsold overall, LOL

      4. Ross has been signing artists who are already established instead of putting on his homies from his hood. Triple C’s sold 12k, G-Unit album went plat and everyone got an album that went gold atleast

    16. Never known a dude to tell as much as this dude. Yall sure this dude aint a snitch? Man he tells this shit to the core yall. Stoping tellin man.

    17. the most bitter and hateful slimy pig in all of rap….Bang Em Smurf warned us that this clown was a evil hater and now Yayo has exposed him even worse, at least Game and Buck got a chance to shit on him before he raped them. Floyd Mayweather was Matt ro kick him to the curb even if he had to go to prison
      For it.

    18. Lame this snitch nigga turned his back on all his boys that was ridin for his ass. Yayo was dickridin this nigga so hard and curtis bitch ass leave him hangin. Why would any nigga do business with this man when they know the nigga is out for hisself only. Does this nigga even have anyone that actually roll wit him?

      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    19. If puff daddy is so big and claims that he and ross can beat out 50, why does pilots from 50 sit at 10 on itunes hiphop charts while big homie barely cracks the to 50 despite having ross and montana.

      1. Reality says that Ross has an album currently at #15 on the Billboard charts and 50 hasn’t dropped an album in 6 years. Now we get to see how many people buy a 50Cent album without Em on it.

    20. Real talk fif is right.. Regardless of how he comes off he made both banks and yayo rich.. He owes them nothing.. It’s only so long you can hold someone’s hand before they have to fend for themselves. But of course 59 haters are gonna hate its what they do it’s there job

    21. MMG artists take too long with their shit and when they do release their shit, it flops. Also, Ross kicked Pill out of MMG. Self-Made is a flop, regardless.”

      When they do release their albums, like meek and wale, they occupy the top 2 and sometimes even tops the charts. Also, Pill wasn’t officialy a part of MMG. Warner signed Pill, assigned him to work with MMG, and then pull him out despite their objections.

      1. Pill was unofficially part of mmg and appeared on Self Made vol.1 but Pill was only signed to warner and opted to drop him after the year trial. Warner made MMG drop him but ross and pill are still buddies for life.

        Call me when MMG goes bankrupt.

      2. then go ahead and post some proof Pill was kicked out of MMG

        I bet you’ll search and realize all the articles tell you how Pill wasn’t really apart of MMG, it was a promotional favor for WMG and it didn’t work out so WARNER gave Pill his release form, not MMG

        then you’ll quietly STFU

    22. Let’s be real here. Both Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo stayed loyal to 50 cent. They rode with him through everything and kept their mouths shut in public about disagreements between the three of them. They supported him and his career and were his companions/hype men on tours. 50 has been talking shit about them both in public for years. Sorry but that’s bitch nigga shit. If you disagree with your boys and you think they should be out there working on bettering their own careers, keep it to yourself. It’s bitch nigga shit to talk shit about loyal friends who have been with you since before you had money. He’s been talking shit about them for 4 years now. Come on. His ego is huge because he has money. Banks has never disrespected 50 cent in public. Never.

      1. Some men are just filled with hatred and bile and other men are filled with love and generosity.

        This is why Shaniqua Thompkins accused 50 of arson and trying to kill her and their son, this also explains why 50 had a publicized beef with his own son and caught a domestic violence case for kicking and beating a woman.

      2. The best artist on G Unit was the one responsible for destroying the label, the rest of those bums were just there for decorations.

      3. That’s why Game left cause he could see right through him. That nigga ain’t got love for nobody but himself. Plus he keeps on talkin bout the same shit, never brongs something positive for the game like Nas, Pac, and a lot of other cats.

      1. ^ that’s teeth-boy, begging for attention, notice he’s the one who said Pill got dropped, but is asking for us to define how

    23. “Wait, 50 disses tony and lloyd while ross supports wale and mill and I got it backwards? Also, Ross never kicked anyone out. They are the ones taking too long to release their albums. Ross is always there for them.

      Also, Compiliation albums don’t sell a lot these days so its normal for Self Made. Also, Gunplay doesn’t have a release date? Neither does Dr Dre.”

      Ross had a different road in the industry than 50 so Ross moves different.

      Ross journey into HipHop went through Suave House, Poe Boy, & Slip N Slide, he grinded with those Southern labels untill he was able to break through to Def Jam but he learned along the way and you can see he learned a lot from Draper, Lucas and E-Class.

      50 went through Columbia and then Interscope so he has always had white men in suits telling him how to move and how to conduct business so he treats his artists like he was treated and not like family.

    24. This interview was very hard to watch. This guy doesn’t know how to stay on topic and answer a question coherently. All I heard was a bunch of convoluted rambling about nothing. What he doesn’t realize is that trying to sound intelligent makes him sound dumber than he would sound if spoke normally. I think I heard actual and actually about 50 times in this! And why does he name drop other artists so much? He mentions Fat Joe, Drake, Juvenile, Rick Ross, Tony Yayo, Game, Lloyd Banks, Dr Dre, Eminem, Young Thug, Kanye West, Ja Rule, Fabolous, Jay-Z, Jadakiss, Kendrick Lamar and probably a host of others I forgot about. It’s like he doesn’t even care about his own garbage music, he barely ever promotes himself as a rapper, all of his interviews are rambled gossip. I’m not impressed

    25. Ross is Self Made he built his empire with blood sweat and tears. 50Cent is a Jimmy Iovine creation, who had the best co-signs in the world from Em and Dre and white America on board.

      Ross NEVER had to go platinum to become a Boss CEO of his empire he did it with hard work and dedication which is why he is so beloved by his peers and despised by 50Cent.

      You dont have to crossover and sell millions to be successful, you can be your self and and be successful and put yourself in position to help others.

      1. He’s actually right though… what is 50 and Ems career with out Dre and interscope? Ross litterally built his fame up then got some REAL label backing on like his 3rd album.

      2. @Mike not many artists can secure major distribution from one label for their own label (MMG) with (Atlantic) while bring signed to Def Jam as a solo artist. When was the last time a Gold sling artist signed a rapper that also went Gold?

    28. 50 is intelligent, yes. But his views not only do they not serve for his career (sucessful past, underwhelming present) but, are skewed to favor him. IDK how he did it, but he got himself stuck in a box where it seems like he’ll never get out of. Move on from your first two albums man, they were outstanding, but you only as nice as your last song…and Smoke was…good at best, temporary hit (since you want a hit soo bad)

    29. That ain’t impressive at all since Ross still has no platinum album or even a good album.

      Port of Miami went platinum and every one of his albums is a classic. What is it that you don’t like about ross’s music?

      1. A. Port of Miami did not go platinum. Don’t start this over again.

        B. None of Ross’ albums are classics. Classics are game-changers, nothing about Ross’ shit is game changing.

      2. a. Ross’s video did indeed say port of miami went platinum. You can’t deny facts.

        b. Dr Dre and biggie didn’t change shit yet are considered classics.

      3. A. The video lied. POM did not go platinum, that’s a fact.

        B. Dr. Dre and Biggie albums are game-changers. Dre introduced G-funk and Biggie changed the way rappers rapped.

      4. A. Why would the video ever lie? IT went platinum. Proof that it only went gold please.

        B. G Funk is a bullshit term made up and biggie was copying tupac.

      5. A. Because it’s Ross, who always lie. POM did NOT go platinum. RIAA website will tell you so.

        B. G-funk is a real sub-genre of gangsta rap and Biggie wasn’t copying anyone.

      6. a. When did ross lie. RIAA has not been updating its sales figures.

        b. G Funk is a bullshit term made up. ALl of that is just plain hiphop. Biggie copied tupac and ross.

      7. A. Ross always lies. RIAA always update their sales figure and POM is still at gold.

        B. G-funk is a real sub-genre of gangsta rap. Hip-hop has many sub-genres and G-funk is one of them. Biggie never copied anyone. How can he copy Ross when Ross was still working as a CO when Biggie was alive? If anything, Ross copied Biggie.

      8. YOU STUPID ASSES CAN’T SEE IT’S DENTALDAMBOY STRETCHING OUT AN ARGUMENT SO HE CAN GET PAID TO BE A COMMENTER?

        FOR CHRIST SAKES HOW F-CKING STUPID ARE Y’ALL? READ THE F-CKING COMMENT, YOU CAN TELL IT’S TEETH=BOY

    30. This is such a rambling interview. He can’t answer a single question with an “actual” straight answer.

      Every successful organization has to have a hierarchy and chain of command but the truly successful labels have professionals who have their own individual teams working under the umbrella of the main team.
      All those names above are Black and Latino, they are all eating at the table of Rozay no hating on each other or ridiculing each other in the press or on social media. This is a a model that all aspiring label owners and industry related people should study.

      Fat Trel “Gleesh” 4//01/14

      MMG “MMG Priorities Vol 3” 4/03/14

      (Wale “Sunshine” Remix feat. Common & Rozay out now!!)

      1. And all of them besides Ross, Wale, and Meek are failures who are nothing more than weed/luggage carriers.

    32. “And all of them besides Ross, Wale, and Meek are failures who are nothing more than weed/luggage carriers.”

      Luggage carriers still get paid.

    33. “None of Ross’ albums are classics. Classics are game-changers”

      Nobody expected him to drop classics. Just serviceable fast food music.

    34. 50 WAKE UP ALREADY. Damn with the soft feelings and high school mentality. Old school mentalities eat this beef shit up. STILL answering questions about Ja Rule- really? It kills this man to give a person a compliment.

    35. Does 50 really feel the need to punish his his people by airing g them out in public, it shows disloyalty

      1. floyd had 50 start a boxing company. then got out of jail and said he didnt. floyd slow. all he can do is box. and he dont even fight the best. he like this whole new generation all pussy and doesnt stand for nothing. him puffy and birdman need to grow up. old asss niggas still acting like teens in there 40’s. doing the samee shit they was doing in the 90’s when i was a fucking kid

    36. Rozay – Hasn’t dropped a classic and his run is almost over

      Wale – Decent rapper, but no one takes this clown serious

      Meek Mill – Decent rapper, lets see how his 2nd album does Cass ate him on RAID

      Gunplay – Most know for getting his chain snatched & getting a beatdown from G-Unit

      Torch – WHO

      Stalley – Never gonna blow

      Rockie Fresh – WHO

      Young Breed – WHO

      Fat Trel – WHO

      Tracy T – WHO

      K Kutta – WHO

      Masspike Miles – WHO

      Duce Poppi – WHO

      Quise – WHO

      Young Dudus – WHO

      Kano – WHO

      1. Gunplay is famous for being a crackhead and a punching bag. I’ve seen him on 3 diff occasions knocked or out sleeping, one of them was at his own concert.

    37. they complain and complain and complain about 50 but y’all made the article #1 here

      are you that stupid to see that if you DIDN’T comment that he would try another way, but since you eat this up he ain’t gonna stop?

    38. 50 cent and his g unit crew are all expired so they can continue to reminisce of the past while drake and ross continue to run the rap game.

      1. Wrong. Just because Drake has more hits and copies doesn’t mean his music is better. That just means he’s more marketable.

      2. You don’t have to sell millions to have better music, you just have to make better music and Kendrick has better music. Stop letting the charts dictate your music taste.

      3. Music’s measured by how many people enjoy it. More people enjoy drake’s shit than kendrick’s shit.

      4. No, it ain’t. Music is measured by the quality of it, not how many people listen to it and Kendrick clearly has better music than Drake.

      5. Quality is determined by how many agree its a good song. And more people listen to drake.

        BTW, dumbass, I don’t let charts dictate my taste. Eminem’s popular yet he sucks.

      6. No, it’s not. Quality is determined by the music, not the numbers. Just because more people listen to it doesn’t mean it’s better. Yes, you do let the charts dictate your tastes since you dickride popular wack artists like Young Money (Eminem doesn’t suck, BTW).

    39. what would be 50 without dre and the white boy???? 50 explode cause of these dudes he can not compare himself to no one in da industry diddy built himself this is why he doesnt need no one has ross, triple c’s died ross came back with maybach music, diddy is a good entertainner but still richer than you how can you exp^lain that he didnt need no beef

      50 needs to stop talking bout other rappers they dont talk bout you

      1. 1 they do talk about him
        2. 50 buzz came from a takeover of the street market via a string of mixtapes from2001-2004, that’s how em heard him in the first place. Of course this was before the era of the internet faggot rap fan, like yourself

    40. 50 had almost perfect timing when Eminem was at the peak of his career and Dr Dre giving him In Da Club, the public was tired of JaRule singing and wanted something more gritty…..
      It worked to perfection behind Jimmy Iovine but then the gimmick wore off and the fans found other music to support. 50s reign was brief and filled with disgusting behavior and non-rap buffoonery.
      Now he is behaving like a bitter child lashing out at everyone hoping they will respond and give him a chance to hype his album with beef.

      1. my girl left me for a white 50 cent fan and ever since i been mad as hell, i take selfies in my hooptie every week but no one likes them

      2. The last post makes no sense, I know 50 always takes selfies in cars but they are not hoopties and when did his girl leave him for one of his own fans?

    41. i thought ross shitted on trick daddy because a interviewer said trick going around saying you was a co. he lying and he a sucker. off of hear say he dissed the 1st nigga to put him on wax and on tour. then he shit on e class and poe boy. they the ones pushed hustling and pom. then he tried to shit on slipnslide. but they had they paper work right. im too real and stand for too much to support a nigga like that!

      1. STFU fool, Ross first time on wax was with Eric Sermon.

        Ain’t no beef with Poe Boy they ate off Ross first two albums and Gucci Pucci from Poe boy is still by his side.

        Slip N Slide tried to rape Ross like they do all their artists and Ross fought back like any artist would.

        Trick Daddy and Ross fell out before that over his brother Hollywood getting killed.

    42. Here he goes again. I can see Tony Yayo being looked at as a waste but not Banks. And I think Banks does have a good work ethic. He drops mixtapes like crazy and he has a hit every now and then. Yayo was the one that was slacking and just seemed to be some entourage type dude. 50 whines just as much as Kanye West. I don’t blame Banks for not wanting to interact or associate woth him anymore.

    43. “Anonymous:
      A. The video lied. POM did not go platinum, that’s a fact.

      B. Dr. Dre and Biggie albums are game-changers. Dre introduced G-funk and Biggie changed the way rappers rapped.”

      POM prolly platinum by now but Ross does not care as much as you do because if he did he would be buying those albums instead of cars and mansions.

      I hope none of those albums go platinum so we can mock the 50 fans who are platinum obsessed and think Platinum from 2006-2014 is something that every artist did.

    44. yayo used to sell dope for 50 for a living. for him to ever speak ill of fifty is sucker shit. banks was a nigga in the house u heard what bangem said. then bangem went and started fucking with the suckas. but fif saw it coming. they back in the hood its cuz i see they fake i cut the grass around me nigga so i can see these snakes.

    45. nigga co’s make a 100k a year! so to get a car and a watch aint shit especially if your momma straight and u living with her. that nigga lied for years. real niggas share there testimony to inspire others. that nigga said he never heard of the real rick ross. its from football boss and all this lame shit. then he watched that movie with matt damon and leonardo dicaprio the departed. said he had to for his drug boss. but this year he said it was to feed his kids. that means his kids are late teens at the least, that boy lame. he too soft to had been off the porch in the 90’s! them in the 80’s were the worst times in america! that nigga aint with that type of gunplay and shit!

      1. The Smoking Gun website says Ross made 22K back in 1995 as a teenager working at FRC he took 6 months training and 12 months working before he resigned.

        He was also a High School football star at Carol City Senior High School and had a brief stint attending Albany State a Historically Black College.

        His life from 1997 to 2003 can be seen in different videos and pictures online.

        If you are being sued for millions by Freeway Rick over a stage name do you open yourself up to losing millions by saying you used his stage name or do you do the smart thing and say Nigga I never heard of you?

        Stop the sanctimonious bullshit, you listen to rappers who have poisoned people, murdered people raped people and beat up women so if you say you can’t listen to a rapper because of his teen employment record them you are an idiot.

      2. no bruthadee is obviously the butthurt groupie who responded, as usual to defend william, its obvious, everyone can tell

      3. @BruthaDee writes in a way that makes it easy for me to recognize him.@BruthaDee made that one post.

      4. if you go on the smoking gun website you will see bruthadee’s comment at the top of the page defending william to strangers in 2014 LOLOLOL

    46. No, it’s not. Quality is determined by the music, not the numbers. Just because more people listen to it doesn’t mean it’s better. Yes, you do let the charts dictate your tastes since you dickride popular wack artists like Young Money (Eminem doesn’t suck, BTW).

      Music’s determined by the number of people that like their work. Eminem fucking sucks.

      1. No, it doesn’t. It’s determined by the quality of it. Eminem is dope. IDK what kind of crack you’re smoking.

      2. Quality’s detrmined by the opinions of many people. Eminem sucks. He used to be dope until he fell off with encore.

      3. And many people think Kendrick’s music is better than Drake’s. Eminem is dope. Encore might be weak, but he got better after that album.

      4. Yet more people prefer drake over kendrick, hence the higher sales figures. He continued to fall off with recovery and mmlp2.

      5. No, they don’t. Those are just sales, which doesn’t determine music quality. Eminem continues to get better with Recovery and MMLP2.

      6. It says alot when there’s more people that prefers NWTS than GKMC. Drake’s first 2 albums also outsold k dot.

      7. Drake has the pop audience on his side, who buy a lot of albums. It doesn’t change the fact that his music isn’t better.

      8. By your logic, most people prefer to listen to Eminem since he’s the best selling rapper of all time. Ironically, you said he sucks. Isn’t that contradicting what you’re saying?

      1. The only charity he donates to is himself. And he ain’t making a ton of money compared to other rappers.

      2. It’s not possible to have more revenue streams yet only make as much as mac. He had to be donating most of it to charity. Hell he even put up his mansion as a charity home.

      3. Maybe all of those revenue streams aren’t making that much money. Again, he’s the only charity he donates to.

      4. Mac Miller has none yet makes 7 million. Rick ross has tons of revenue streams yet makes 7 million? He has to be making way more than that. Either he hides it or donates it to charity.

      5. Mac Miller does have revenue streams. Ross’ shit doesn’t even make that much money, so quit it with the charity shit because it’s not charity.

      6. I’m not a rapper, though. So that little argument is thrown out the window. Ross still sucks, regardless.

      7. I could care less now much Ross makes a year as long as he keeps giving Blacks and Latinos jobs in his organization and opening franchises in our community, he already has his own holiday for his charity work and his foundation.

      8. Mac Miller had a good year and a good tour run but he made the list once and Ross made it 6 years in a row so Mac has to catch up and get some major endorsements and some other revenue streams to catch up to Ross

      9. who cares how much that fake rapper makes? yall sound like a bunch of bitches discussing another mans money. especially wen it comes to ALBUM SALES. YOU FANS DO NOT GET PAID OFF AN ARTIST ALBUM SALES SO STFU ABOUT IT!!!! SALES DO NOT DEFINE GOOD MUSIC. VANILLA ICE SOLD MADD RECORDS U GONNA TELL ME HES DOPE ON THE MIC? ALL U FAGGETS TALKIN ALBUM SALES THIS ALBUM SALES THAT IS WHATS KILLING HIP HOP AND GOOD MUSIC. ITS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE MUSIC NOT THE MARKETING MACHINES THAT ARE GENERATING THE SALES. FUCKING FOOLS.

    47. 50 is steady trying to start beef but everyone is keeping a cool head. I bet he’s not even done with his album, he’s just waiting for one of these fools to say something so he can start writing

      1. everybody’s gon get it if they say something.. nobody’s safe in the rap world when Curtis comes around

      1. Why wish them success when you’ve already made them successful? Meek and Wale puttin up bricks, and Ross does Tony Yayo numbers…

    48. Two things.
      1.Like 50’s rants more than Kanye’s. He makes sense.
      2.Could you guys imagine if 50 didn’t dis Khaled ? We the Best and G-unit… Yo that would have be one of the best things for HIP-HOP ever!!!! It just doesn’t make sense for that not to have happened. I wish that would happen so bad.

      1. 50 made it all about sales he even called himself Interscope Jackson and made Vids mocking artists about sales, in this interview he was bragging about going Diamond but he is not like Emienem who can sell Multi Plat due to loyal fans, 50 could only sell when the hype was at its height and before the download craze thats why his last album barely went Gold and got outsold by God Forgives

      2. In the first week numbers but BISD still out sold god forgives cumulatively, showing only that 50’s biggest failure; even if only marginally still out did ross’ biggest success…. Good try tho’

    49. 50’s interviews are hard to watch man. u ask him a question and 50 takes 15 minutes to answer by going in all sorts of tangents that have nothing to do with the original question. Angela asked him about how is he with females and this nigga went off so far to the left i dont think anyone was really listening to him. You can ask 50 so why did u name your album animal ambition, and i guarantee he’ll spend 15 minutes explaining but then throw in Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Game, Tony Yayo, his comfortable space, his consistency, the marketing dollars behind his project, etc. etc. DUDE CANNOT TALK NORMAL WHAT THE HELL 50 STOP TRYING TO SOUND SO INTELLIGENT AND ANSWER THE FUKIN QUESTIONS LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN SHEESH!!

      1. so effin right… he said big hommie was only shot in miami lol shit was shot in 3 cities nyc = harlem then LA with snoop the miami

      2. I been noticing this for years. I said something like that before and someone said that I was just too slow to understand what fif was saying. Apparently others notice this too. Lol

    50. I’m a much bigger fan of Lloyd Banks than 50. I’ll always be on the lookout for new Banks music, 50 not so much anymore.

    51. I guess Woodface can brag about how many records he sold 10 years ago when Eminem fans were in a heated frenzy but his last album couldnt even move A$AP Rocky numbers which shows you how much hype has ro do with sales.

    52. banks has more bangers then 50 and that overrated fuck has been expired for Ten plus Years….50 at get rich die trying and before has all bangers nother at all after, don’t kid yourselves!~

    53. 1st off if u sold dope it was usually out of neccessity. you dont promote your dope or sell to people that you do not know. the dope sells itself. in the places where dope sells the customers come up to you. illegal drugs have lesss side effects than the ones the pharmacy provides. and cocaine weed and heroin were once legal in this country. real niggas dont take pussy females break real niggas off they check for being charming and having that good dick that makes em cum and orgasm. if u take the jobs like they did in detroit what are we supposed to do ay down and die or make it happen? only God can judge! me this country is occupied illegally only the natives are supposed to be in it. ross fake stole a dude name thats alive and free that didnt snitch. and he promoting the drug lifestyle. ricky ross was rich but low key and non violent.

    54. nigga hollywood got killed before trick daddy started selling music. i hope you didnt hear that story from rick ross too. he a liar. and u a fool for believing him more than once. u a lame. rick ross used to write trina raps about sucking niggas dicks and shit. now he sucking birdman khaled jay z and puffy dick.

    55. Niqqa answer those daym questions stop..changing subject…. you all over diddy’s dik, he is richer than yhu he is gettin money from music all this dude is talking about is bout other ppl bizness you said was a CO we do know that for 8 months lol you been a rat for years??? talk bout animal ambition… jay’z dis, diddy this, dre this… what about 50

    56. everyone supporting 50 by saying ‘but he rich though’. you guys are sad. don’t matter what a prick a guy is if they got money they fine by you. LOL.

    57. Gather round kids, today we got a guest gossip girl spilling all the juicy goss, it’s 50

      50: ” hey kids you know WWE wresting

      Kids: “yer that’s fake isn’t it, all a show”

      50: who the fuck told you that, that shit real, anyway you know Jay Z n Beyonc gonna be tag teaming against Rhianna n Drake

      Kids: wtf, is he a pilot, whys he in a pilot uniform

      50: yer I am a pilot, I had to get this uniform custom made to fit my freakish juice head body, anyway you know Banks dad died and I’m such a sociopath I told him to get over it already

      Kids: wtf this juice head talking bout

      50: shut up I’m gossiping here anyway………ah hold on I’m getting weak trying to pronounce words … Need to PAUSE for a protein shake , uhhh need steroids

      Young pause: ummmm protein

      50: ummmm gossip, ummmmmmmmmmm protein

        MARQUISE (His Son,Cursed the shit outta the kid)
        SHANIQUA->What a hood name (His Baby Mama; ALLEGEDLY burnt down her house with her n her son inside SMH)
        DAPHINE JOY(His Second Baby Mama; Curtis ALLEGEDLY beat up this bitch when she was pregnant–>with his kid HELL NAAWWWH!!!?)

    59. 50 a boss if you can’t see dat you niggas blind
      Banks and yayo been wit 50 for years and ain’t learn
      Shit that ain’t his fault what he suppose to given them niggas
      Millions every time they fuck up!!!!!

    60. First nigga fuck Chinese sayings and most them niggas you listed
      Coming up a lot of niggas you grew up wit gone fall by way side it’s a lot cats used to be wit jay-z that fell off same for puff,dre,and plenty other niggas on the come up.

      1. Yup!! He better hope Animal Ambition sells – he’s been blaming the label for soooo long, he’s got no scapegoats if this bombs.

    61. I liked the part where he laughs at French Montana’s first week sales.

      Envy and Charlamagne just said 50 going around NY with no security, go on haters, get off your computer and go pop some shit.

      1. lol, yo, you remember that 50 heckler who turned out to be some goofy white kid from Canada with glasses?

        that’s what I see when I read these comments from these lames

        and how I can believe these haters are former 50 fans who’ve just jumped on the next dick

    62. i heard Wale bitch ass got beat up at a WWE fight of all places last night LMAO. who knew black people watched wrestling? maybe he was getting some ideas for rick ross next album.

      1. U ain’t heard shit nicca, u just saw the article on HHDX and is trying to act like u out there on the streets being hip to whatever’s going on

    63. Bruthadee caught serious feelings, I think he’s mentally ill if you go on SOHH he’s writing essays about Fiddy.

      1. Which proves he’s bitch made. If he was real like Star he’d be testing EVERYONE of these niggas.

      2. I think Charlamagne likes 50 and wants him to succeed. He isn’t against 50’s music like he is Kanye’s. And 50 basically rambled through the whole “interview” anyway – he wasn’t answering questions so much as saying whatever popped into his head at the time.

      3. Right, because he thinks Kanye Kardashian is egotistical and narcissistic and that Yeezus was wack.

    64. “THE OLD CHINESE SAYING GOES->WHEN THE WORLD OR EVERYONE AROUND YOU BECOME “MAD MEN”…U SHOULD REALIZE THAT IT IS YOU WHO HAS BECOME A “MAD MAN”

      you left out the 7.5 Million fans that he had when he first dropped, I just can deal with the name dropping it reminds me of them gold digger bitches that stalk celebrities on media stalking Buddens or Stevie J screaming their name for attention or just out of obsession.

    65. “Since when do hip-hop heads care about record sales? you guys sound crazy..”

      ^ Hip Hop fans don’t care about sales, the Popular Personality Followers do

      look at how the PPF’s refer as 50 being the guy who started it, but look who kept it in them to still do it to all the rappers, the PPF’s, who are secretly former 50 “fans”. They’re all in when the popularity is there, when the sales fall they hop on the next. Dickriders is the term.

      “50 could only sell when the hype was at its height and before the download craze thats why his last album barely went Gold and got outsold by God Forgives”

      “In the first week numbers but BISD still out sold god forgives cumulatively, showing only that 50’s biggest failure; even if only marginally still out did ross’ biggest success…. Good try tho”

      ^ ‘Deeper Than Rap’ came out before BISD and BISD sold more than DTR

      TEFLON DON was next, NOT GOD FORGIVES, I DON’T

      get your facts and rebuttals straight

    66. Yayo’s the perfect example I can use when telling niggas trying to get on this industry thing to move on some Machiavelli shit and never be loyal to niggas

      1. Yayo would be dead or in jail without 50. Him and his family owe everything they have to Curtis and he’s lucky it lasted as long as it did.

      2. Y’all act like he’s well off anyway, the nigga never had a hot solo album, was in jail when 50 was poppin with Get Rich Or Die Tryin, and owes money to the IRS. I don’t see success in that

    67. 50 has fallen out with literally everyone in the industry he was close to at one point except Em.. He’s next.

    68. I liked the part where he laughs at French Montana’s first week sales.”

      I liked the part where 50 films dj khaled’s mothr and blames it all on french.

      1. that was obviously french, everyone could tell how awkward he got when asked about it, if he didnt do it he would have laughed and said no

    69. “In the first week numbers but BISD still out sold god forgives cumulatively, showing only that 50’s biggest failure; even if only marginally still out did ross’ biggest success…. Good try tho'”

      Gold is gold. More critics liked GFID, and people still talk about it today, especially on here.

      1. ” ‘Deeper Than Rap’ came out before BISD and BISD sold more than DTR

        TEFLON DON was next, NOT GOD FORGIVES, I DON’T

        get your facts and rebuttals straight”

        ^ you need to stop trolling and get some real responses if you wanna keep that job

    70. “Ross didn’t build shit, he had Def Jam and Jay Z backing him up”

      Much how 50 had Eminem, Dre, & Jimmy backing him up.

      1. JayZ never backed up Ross like that or else he would have been on JayZs label like J Cole and
        Jay Electronica, they just did songs together like Nas and Ross or Pusha T and Ross.

        Fraternity and Family…..that’s what most of the HipHop industry is outside the top floor boardrooms but yo I’d take Eminem, Dre Dr, Iovine and Interscope anyday over a few songs with JayZ and a Def Jam budget.

      1. It went no.1. Meanwhile, Tony Yayo can’t get an album out and will never get another one again.

    71. Also, Yayo owes money to irs while wale has more money than he wants and donates most of it to charity.

    72. Ross is a big fan of charities. He donated a ton of money to charities all over the world. He also has a platinum album called POM.

    76. man Lloyd banks is hotter than ever. I heard that nigga on F.I.L.A. mixtape str8 snappin. 50’s milk has spoiled. that dude may as well admit.

    77. putting down his old friends just to get attention, 50 cent is old ass news and no one’s thought about him as a real artist/entertainer in like a decade so fuck em.

    78. I get the feeling that 50 is probably smart to cut people out of his life constantly. As catty as he seems sometimes I think that he’s being honest at least half of the time. The other half of the time I get the feeling its all just a gimmick to get free press for upcoming albums. He comes across as intelligent but he speaks overly cryptically too.
