Kanye West garnered attention by rushing the stage at the Grammys Sunday (February 8) while Beck was accepting his Grammy for Album Of The Year and because of a subsequent interview in which the Chicago rapper-producer said that Beyonce, not Beck, should have won the award.
50 Cent says that Beck deserved the award for his Morning Phase album over Beyonce self-titled effort.
“He produced the record, wrote the record,” 50 Cent says during an interview with People. “There’s 11 producers on Beyonce’s album. Kanye being a producer and a writer should see that. But we get jaded.”
While 50 Cent defended Beck’s artistic merit, others have dissed Kanye West’s commentary, which included him saying that that Beck “should have given his award to Beyoncé.”
Garbage singer Shirley Manson wrote Kanye West an open letter where she said he looked “small and petty and spoilt,” while Pink said that “Kanye West is the biggest piece of sh– on earth. Quote me.”
For additional 50 Cent coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
agreed.
ye just had a dog in the fight and wanted that grammy.
TOUGH
He actually has a point….
Bey had 11 producers with 6 song writers while Beck wrote and produce his entire album on his own…so…yeah
Another attempt at appealing to jus white boy groupie fans. He ain’t real like yeezy
so someone with an opinion for a man in another race is trying to appeal to him..how about his has his own opinion unless u sheep
Did you know that Kanyes own artist John Legend defended Beck and wasn’t impressed with Kanye’s actions… was he trying to appeal to white boys too?
50 Cent is not a “rap legend.”
Talking bout worldwide impact und influence, 50 def is, fuck u talking bout internet thug lol
everyone knows 50 cent is a legend whether you like him or not, hes this generations snoop/diddy, the music is irrelevant but hes still a huge part of the culture
50s right.
Watch Kanye win many Grammys next year just for the fact he has an album with Paul McCartney yet sings everything in autotune. Artistic merit my ass
can you please stop posting every word that comes out of this assholes mouth?
He’s saying some real shit, go suck Kanye. “RealTalk” my ass
They might. if you stop commenting on every 50 cent article….
It doesn’t matter if I make a genius piece of art if no one sees it. Beyonce was the far far far far more culturally relevant record. Kanye talks about cultural artistry, not whether you have a genius piece of work.
50’s right. Whilst Kanye supporting Beyonce is great, Beck was a far more deserving winner. Ye needs to realise there’s much more to music that the RnB/Rap game.
50 who???
Beyonce makes music for low self esteem bitches, move on
and Kanye makes music for confused bisexuals and feminine black males
Didn’t 50 Cent walk up on stage when Evanesence beat him in 04?
You should read 50’s full commentary on it..
“We get jaded.” as he goes on to comment on Kanye working on the album and sympathizing with him. Don’t use DX for your only source of information.. they chop and siphon all their info from other actual news sources.
Evan GOOD Music artist John Legend thought Yeezy was dead wrong for that shit.
lol. It’s a weird image imagining 50 sitting around bumping Beck.
