50 Cent says that if he could talk to his teenage self, he would instruct the younger version of himself to focus more on music.
“He could still have this career without going through all the things I went through,” 50 Cent writes in a “Letter To My Younger Self” published in The Big Issue. “And thinking about relationships – I think back to when I was with someone and that person could have been the person I was going to be with for the rest of my life but I didn’t have the references yet to know there was something special there. It’s like the clarity I got about my grandmother after she was gone. Some people have been better at that than me. If I look at Jay Z, I’d point out he capitalized on people better than I did.”
Elsewhere in the letter, 50 Cent says that Eminem, who signed 50 Cent to his Shady Records, was a great battle rapper.
“The guys who were up against him would think of everything you could say about him, then he’d say those things about himself first,” 50 Cent says. “So everything they had against him, he took it away. He was writing all this personal stuff. I was never anything like that. I came into music with songwriting intentions ‘cause that’s where the money was.”
For additional 50 Cent coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
And all u other cats throwing lames at Hov, u only get half a bar fuck y’all niccaz. It’s free to follow the blue print but don’t throw lame on the throne.
Yep! That’s why HOV keeps winning and Nas keeps taking L’s. HOV is way better at using people to do whatever he need them to do. That’s why Nas is broke and HOV is making that money.
You are so predictable, copying and pasting the same lies over and over again.
50 cent offers to suck jay zs dick for a hamburger

50 cent putting Jay under the bus on tv and Jay hasn’t spoke on this man since 2004. 50 be reaching to keep his name in the media. nigga sit down and focus on them mfs suing you. Jay didn’t capitalize off people Jay capitalized off Jay
50 musically, was more invested in his music than Jay Z hands down. 50 at his height was writing so many songs that he was able to give hits away that made other artists careers, imagine if he kept those game and lil kim songs for himeself, all the songs with hooks he gave away to the other members of G Unit to diversify the brand. The biggest Jay Z songs, have either Pharrell, Timberland, Swizz Beatz, or Kanye on the hooks, and those producers pretty much orchestrated the entire songs, all he had to do was rap and leave. 50’s biggest songs thats not the case. Had he built his career on being dependent on superstar producers he would be where Jay Z is. Fact is he got bored with music, because he spread himself thin, wherein JayZ, didnt give a flying fuck about helping any of those Rocafella artists maintaining a foothold in the game.
Twizzy you are just the best. You fucken know what 50 meant here than anybody else. Your reply on this article will help me very much. I am an artist and I just released my first single. Check on YouTube with the following hints XLN SHAKE DAT A.
People just have to take shit personal all the time…50 cent’s not dissing Jay z in this article, he’s even doing the otherwise…saying if he himself had been more focused as Jay. Z is, he would have been better off by now
Every single person who was close to jay at one point has said this from Jaz O to Beanie Sigel to Dame Dash to Kanye (big brother song). Get out your feelings stans, we know Jay is good at using people…look how he’s used kanye and Beyonce to energize his own celebrity.
