With time, 50 Cent’s career has clearly evolved. Now, he’s not only working on music but also releasing a new book, Playground, centered around the topic of bullying in schools. Of course, he’s also still got his eye on the Hip Hop scene. During a recent visit to 106 & Park, Fif talked about his new book and newer emcees that he enjoys listening to like Meek Mill and J. Cole.
On the topic of his book, 50 acknowledged that he has been the aggressor in several situations but that the topic is one that he has opened his eyes to.
“I was inspired to write the book from a conversation I was having with my son,” he noted. “We talked about someone that he actually knew that was being bullied in the schooling system. When we talked about it, I found myself in an interesting space because I was on the other side of that. I was the aggressor.”
He also explained that this was due to emotions that he was unable to deal with appropriately at a young age.
“When I explained that to him, I explained it to him about me not dealing with my feelings appropriately at that time. I was a little bit overweight at that point and and they used to tease me. I responded with being more aggressive.”
Later in the interview, he was asked about his opinion concerning younger emcees who are making their name in the culture.
“I think [J. Cole’s] good. He’s in motion. I think [Jay-Z] is going to stand next to him now. He did some numbers. He aight. He cool. Let him in, Jay.”
He also added that he enjoys Meek Mill’s work.
“The kid Meek. I like Meek. In Philadelphia, they got a real underground scene. Them boys rappin’.”

meek mill is a beast wit dat loud talk, and j cole just had to earn his keep before Jay gonna stamp his approval.
i definitely see 50 cent maturing over the years. that’s what’s up.
Right, he is off that immature dissin’ everybody type talk. Well when your not on top anymore guess you gotta humble yourself,ya know?
Yeah I like that kid Meek Mill. He goes hard.

50 diss his fans lol y’all niggas on here hehe grow up
LOL so its all but confirmed that 50 lost big time ro Ross….Now its time for him to man up and admit he lost to Game as well
How da Hell did 50 lose to Ross? Ross didnt even damage 50’s career 1 bit and after da time dey wass beefing 50 released Bisd and it still did good numbers.so i would like to kno how did Ross win da war???
well 50 said he would fuck up ross whole career just for fun… and he hasn’t infact ross became bigger his music has gotten better and his label is doing better. 50’s music has gotten worse and only banks has any talent on the label
if you compare the music they made going at EACH OTHER (the disses) 50 CLEARLY ONE, when you talk about who sold more, and who was more popular ROSS CLEARLY WON, but if you want to use that method of who sold more and who was more popular. than you have to say 50 won his beefs with game and the LOX which he clearly did not.

Before I Self Destruct-Gold
Ross didn’t sell more. What kind of popular did you mean? Ross ain’t Hollywood, he’s hood popular. Only thing Ross won was attention, sympathy wins votes. Clever move by fat boy.
lloyd banks BEEN biggin up Meek Mills since late 09, yall go head n look it up!
Dx on 50 dick again….Nobody cares about this dude anymore,everything about him is irelevant so wuz up with this bullshit!!!
You’re irrelevant you little bitch. Learn to spell! MJ
I care about 50’s opinion. Speak for yourself homie.
Michael Jordan!!!Get your own identity u faggot
Thats whats up!!! The General speaks, and we listen. For real, he should slap the earth wind and fire out of that rasta imposter looking starvin marvin general of the young hunny camp. And when Drake leaves them after this album, he should stroll over to the Unit, we’ll man him the fuck up and double those sales. Gunit Fanbase >>>>>>>> Young Hunnies fan base! It’s the unit bitches!!!
Whos going to get more hoes?
A nigga in a YMCMB sweat shirt
OR
A nigga in some g unit sneakers
Al Sharo just spoke the TRUTH
the nigga with the jordans
More hoes? Yeah, if they’re 17 and under…Get your mind straight homie. Whos gonna get more hoes? A business man with thorough street credibility with his own built empire and his soldiers? Or a leopard spandex rasta lookalike singing how to love like a god damn hippie who kisses his homies?
see fif know the deal about jay. Jay only fucks with you sellin records. He all on kanyes dick and soon he will be on coles!
as much as i like listening to Jay he seems like a grimy dude. Look what happened to “the dynasty”.
rocsi is the hardest dick rider ever..
j cole is the future….meek mill is ok at best…..jay z is the best but he seem to have little confidence in his artist… he was dead wrong about kanye..if it wasnt for dame convincing jay to sign him jay probably would have retired by now
sorry but jay-z is not the best and j.cole is not the future…. j.cole cant rap like meek.
Stop hyping j Cole fam, the nigga is no-where near the futrue. I mean seriously with lyrics like “in the club staring at me how that make you feel.. very happy” ahh come’on son J cole is average at best.
This “cmon son:” shit makes you sound stupid as fuck just so you know. Cole raps circles around Meeks one dimensional flow ass… “insert white boy doesn’t know anything diss here”
how did ross destroy 50….ross is now a punchline to white girl rappers and he needs features to sell……name one track or line that ross spit against 50????……..lol….i thought so….have you heard “officer down” or “ty told me”……….
Stop it son, Rick Ross bodied 50 Cent’s career back and forth… where are you living? Go to youtube right now and listen to In Cold Blood and then Mafia Music rex with Game, Ja and Fat Joe. %0 didnt top that shit… open those eyes and ears! God damn
your a idiot if you think ross ended 50’s career. 50 is bigger than mmg music by himself. just like jr88 said ross needs features.
lol get off Ross’s nutssssss he ended NOTHING lmao how the fuck officer ricky gonna end a career? Your so fuckin stupid lol bringing to light the proof he was a fuckin PO then getting his hands on Ross’s tax papers showing he in debt. Stfu you sound madd dumb
50 now irrelevant. Ross fried that ass for lunch haha. You can tell 50 hurting… i mean how can one come from selling a mil first week, to selling 150k, lose respect from other artist and have such a shit cartel of artist.. Sharty Lo, Kid kid? Epic Fail. Well i guess that what he did to Ja. karma is bitch
he still has to be relevant, if people like you take time out to read a topic about him and write about him..ha ha ha
