With Drake’s latest album breaking Billboard chart records throughout last week, 50 Cent recently spoke with XXL and commended the release and hinted that the Toronto rapper is currently at the top of his game.
“His mixtape reflects that,” 50 told XXL. “But boy, that nigga was on point, wasn’t he? He came through there with his shit sharp. It was tight.”
The G-Unit frontman added on, “Look, I don’t have favorite artists, I have favorite moments from artists. Like, ‘Ooh, you ain’t gonna beat him at that, not that, that’s what he do,’ you know what I’m saying? All of us have those moments, I think, but not everybody can appreciate it.”
The comments come just days after the latest sales report for Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late confirmed that the surprise album surpassed the Gold record milestone with 623,864 albums sold in less than two weeks.
Last year Drake brought out 50 Cent during the Connecticut stop of his collaborative tour with Lil Wayne.
For additional Drake and 50 Cent coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Getting sick of these vets praising wack niggas. How the fuck are you bringing hip hop back and you praising the niggas that damn there destroyed it.
50 Cent doesn’t have many friends in the industry, he’s isolated himself from hiphop. He kisses younger artists ass in hopes he can work with them and leech off their success. It’s funny because when Drake came out and people were comparing his buzz to 50 Cent’s, 50 got mad and said Drake was nothing like him. lol Now he’s sucking up to him for features.
Man if yall niggas dont quit with this “killing hip-hop” bullshit… That shit is so ignorant… 1st off the shit cant die anyway, but if it could its niggas like YOU who would be killing that shit just by speaking that energy into existence… The nigga Drake is just making the kind of music he fucks with and other people like 50 and myself just so happen to fuck with it too. Don’t curse hip-hop just because your lame ass feels left out smh… And yall call drake corny….
these younger artists suck up to 50 though. look at Drake bringing 50 and G-Unit out at his concerts twice this year, Chris Brown doing the same thing
FOH lmao
The album is dope, and as always, 50 keep it 100
50 following the money. If Drake’s shit, and I do mean shit, didn’t do the numbers it did, 50 wouldn’t have nothing to say about it. I need him to worry about getting G-Unit to sound like G-Unit again because that EP was not it. He needs Sha Money back on board.
g unit in its “prime” was barely “it”
too late curtis..
OVO is killing the game right now, keeping real hip-hop and soul alive. You & The 6 is like a modern day Dear Momma and Jungle sounds like something off of Here My Dear.
Drake always pays homage to legends and it seems like the legends are quick to praise him back. Realest nigga alive.
co-sign
Dumbest shit I’ve ever read in my life. There is no music in drakes catalog that has the depth, honesty & genius that a dear mama has
Look What I’ve Done, Too Much and You & The 6 just to name a few.
None of those songs are anything like Dear Mama or anything from Here My Dear. Real hip-hop and soul? LOL hilarious.
Drake Fans: Ghostface Killah, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Talib Kweli, Flying Lotus, DJ Premier, KRS-One, Tyler the Creator, Havoc, Lil Wayne
Drake Haters: DMX, white surburban kids talking about how they prefer “real hiphop” but of course, these dumb mothafuckas just study and dont live it so they dont even know Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Jay-z, Kanye, Eminem, Beastie Boys, 2Pac and Biggie Smalls all faced the same criticism by traditional “Lionel Richie” dudes stuck in the past. These idiots just couldn’t blog in the 80s/90s.
White people are on Drake’s dick the most.
Baloney dude. Black radio has been dominated by Drake since day one. Biggest Drake haters are suburban white dudes / hipsters claiming they know “real hiphop” – lets be real. That’s the only ones I hear complain about Drake – white b-boys and hipster types.
lmao he dont know how to spell bologna
Funny because white people are the biggest audience of black music. Your comment backfired big time. Besides people of all races and backgrounds don’t like Drake. Your generalization is untrue.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Jay-z, Kanye, Eminem, Beastie Boys, 2Pac and Biggie Smalls never faced the same criticism as Aubrey. Niggas always trying so hard to compare the legends to the younger generation when there is no comparison.
Inane statements!
U’re busy pointing fingers, who’s dope , who’s ain’t dope .
Every artist is dope,,,, they get paid, u r not get paid, so stop prating. Jesus Dicks….
Lol….
I don’t see how you guys can hate on Drake, you want quality music I mean he’s presenting it. He’s not a garbage artist… Hip-Hop needs variety you got J.Cole Kendrick Lamar Drake Big K.R.I.T. Mac Miller Vince Staples EARL Tyler Logic.. all different styles they all bring different things to the table. Appreciate the music …. before everyone sounds like young thug and all u hear is dinosaur noises on songs.
50, nobody gives a fuck about your opinion. get off drakes dick, he’s not going to do a track with you because you said nice things.
you know he begging drake to be on a track with him because this album was a B grade throwaway piece of shit. his real album that has his heart and soul in it will come out later this year.
Somebody obviously cares if XXL is interviewing him and asking him his opinion…. DUGH. shit you just wrote a paragraph about someone you supposedly dont give a fuck about.
Big 50 cent fan here and Im losing respect for him.
I downlaoded Drake’s new album bc Ghost said he likes him… that sh** is straight wack son!!
That dude wants to sound like he’s from the south. Boring repetitive beats, I mean literally BORING. Every beat sound the same. His lyrics, too repetitive. He says the same sh** over and over again.
There are like 3 songs I like off that albub, one of them is Energy, but even that song is nothing special.
I guess its easier for the new retarded generation to remember 2-3 words being repeated at housand times over and over again than it is to listen to a dope Verse from Ghostface or whoever..
Face it, your opinion is very much the minority. In the past two weeks, 623,864 have disagreed with you and have spent money to do so, and 50,000,000 people have streamed the album. I know it’s hard to admit tho…
“No Tellin”, “Used To”, “6pm to New York” and “You &6” – aint repetitive at all. You have to listen to Drake on repeat. One listen, you don’t really get it. Get Drake first then, diss him.
There’s also millions of people donwloading Iggy, so that must make her a legit hip hop artist? I dont think so
Truth is most of this new generation are imbeciles who have no clue what a real artist should sound like. People also think that Rihanna can really sing, really.
Uh, no. Those songs ARE repetitive. Anything with the same words/phrases being repeated is repetitive. And no. You don’t have to listen to an artist multiple times to get it.

I like how as long as you are dope and respectful drake will put you on. He’s not like naw…50 my competition fuck that nigga he’s old. He’s like man LETS GO we need THAT FIRE
Black Radio plays retarded Drake music all day but I havent heard “Glory” by Common and John Legend not one time on the radio.
the song won an Oscar, but it’s not good enough for black Radio in st.louis. In st.louis they play songs that golike “Ima go to the club and dance like a stripper” (a 16 year old sings that hook on that song)
are you surprised? “I got love for the radio stations but you know, real shit never gets in rotation, They don’t play it…” – termanology
50 cant win with you hating ass niggas. yall never shut up about how hes such a hater and when he finally praises someone you still get mad about it

First time I see 50 not hating and actually praising someone. He’s always critisizing and hating on everyone. Probably bitter he can’t sell no more
the thing is when he praises people it doesnt make headlines like this, DX only runs the bad criticism

If 50 say something bad about an artist, he’s hating. When he give an artist props, he’s dickeating. smfh
TOO many of yawl don’t know a gaddamn thing about HIP-HOP music. That Drake joint is tight like the man said. The boy can spit. Act like you planned on dating Drake or something- IT’s MUSIC!
Drake can spit. He always could.
If you’re reading this… you are gay. Stop hating on rappers on the internet, and get a life. Get a girl that will have sexual relations with you, and find another girl that will do the same.
