50 Cent, whose debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ was co-executive produced by Eminem, recently spoke about his Shady Records boss and his ability to step away from music.
“By not having interest in a lot of other areas, [Eminem] was able to take a step back from these records,” 50 Cent said in an interview with Complex. “He just goes away and then he’d just watch [other artists] and then figures out what to do next. But [he’s] just not as active as all these other folks. Everything else that [he’s asked to] be involved in, he says no. He says, ‘No,’ more than he says, ‘Hi.’ The circle’s so tight…It speaks to the culture when people see themselves in [your] light, [your] greatness.”
During the interview, 50 also praised Eminem for his influence on Hip Hop.
“When they look at Em and they see themselves, it’s because they feel him,” 50 said. “You see these other guys come out of nowhere almost, have huge hits. I like Eminem. I think Hip Hop grew faster in different areas because of the success of his projects and there’s no other rappers doing other than whatever’s comfortable to them [despite Em’s influence]. They’ll name Top 5 MCs and not have his name on it when none of them have music that performed that well.”
Eminem and Dr. Dre executive produced 50 Cent’s debut album, 2003’s Get Rich Or Die Tryin’. Em, Dre and 50 Cent co-executive produced Fif’s 2005 album, The Massacre.
In November, 50 Cent compared Eminem to his grandparents.
“My career wouldn’t even exist, I wouldn’t even be talking to you if it wasn’t for Em,” 50 Cent said. “It’s amazing that later in your life you could find someone that means so much to the comfort in your actual life. My grandparents were that for me before Em.”

Em’s greatest contribution to HipHop was shelving his artist 50 Cents forever.
Terrible joke.
You mean Jah Jah…..
Five-o aka Snitchy Cent ratted on Ja Rule and now his career is over.
what he rat on ja for?
He said a dude from the Inc sliced him with a Blade and he told the cops.
u mean the dude he got shot up? ask black child about that
Id retire to if I was worth over 250 million
Yeah go tell JayZ to retire, he got Roc Nation boomin and he worth more than 50
jay really should retire from rap at least.
Drake is homosexual
50 is a butt pirate with Lloyd Banks just ask Game who found out and left G Unit.
isnt game the gay one for being a striper
you mean the same Game who went on a dating reality show called Change of Heart and showed the world his tongue ring and talked about his career as a male exotic dancer? The guy who had a butterfly tat on his cheek?
Nothing gay about shaking your chunk in front of drooling women, or going on a talk show about dating hot women 50 invited Game into G Unit because he wanted his butt hole.
like tupacs loyal to the game
that albums fire , thanks em

Beyonce article on a HipHop website? Can we get some Keisha Cole and Mary J too or are they not HipHop like Beyonce is?
Aye fuck you bitch. I will doo doo on yo chest and tell a fat fuck with diabetes to give you a chili dog stank ass ho
is this the only way for 50 Cent to gain attention? by keep mentioning Eminem in his interviews? where the fuck is your over delayed album?
You nickas need to stop hatin on 50…..he is worth more then all of you spam troll ass cats….. and obviously he was asked for his thoughts….50 is a real business man entrepreneur you should be proud of him, that he made it when the odds are so heavily stacked…….also haterz look out for my singer brielle marie.
Im not a Nikka but I shall respond, 50 has made some lucky investments and taken advantage of branding early in his career and I applaud the bloke for his successful dealings but it was handed to him on a silver platter if you look at who his bosses are.
so why dont the dozens of artists sitting on Dr. Dre’s shelf have what he has?
Why Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf both flop?
Slaughterhouse!?? LOL since when have 4 Backpack rappers in one group every had success in HipHop?
Yellwolf?! the redneck white rapper? How many white redneck rappers have had success in HipHop?
Dr Dre makes STARS or did you forget abou his pedigree that includes Ice Cube, Snoop, Game, and Eminem? Can you name me another producer that has been behind more multi-platinum solo artists and multiple movements like NWA, Death Row, and Aftermath?
50cent benefited hugely by being Eminems flagship artist at the height of the Emenim craze and also having the star maker Dr Dre in his corner giving him #1 hits like In da Club.
Look at what Dr Dre has done for Kendrick Lamar and tell me Dr Dre doesn’t have the formula to take regional talents and make them platinum selling superstars.
…..an Emienme co-sign, Dr Dre beats, a criminal gimmick and the proper timing and BOOM!!
The hard part is maintaining a career after the gimmick wears off and the bandwagon fans find the new gimmick to support.
Yelawolf is actually highly regarded and is a great artist
Drake is a queerboy.
mwwwaaaa .. love you both. (kiss)
drake contributed far more. Rappers like eminem jay z 50 cent and kanye were trying to make hiphop turn into pop. Drake came along and saved hiphop taking it back to its roots.
Whaaaaat? Drakes softer than any you mentioned. Everyone I know who doesn’t even like rap acknowledges Drake as soft. His shits corny and boring, Mr 1st name Ever last name Greatest
drake isn’t soft. he’s just more relatable to women. he’s alternative hiphop/rb.
i’d suck drake’s cock if i could
This is why Drake stans should never speak about hip-hop because they don’t know shit.
LOL you’re too cute XD
Quit trolling!

50 couldn’t make another classic album like GRODT or POTD to save his life.
50 ONLY HAS ONE CLASSIC ALBUM… AND I ONLY CALL IT CLASSIC DUE TO GENERAL CONSENSUS, BUT WHEN I LISTEN TO THAT SHIT, I DON’T FEEL IT THE SAME WAY.
Then you are an idiot.
