With Kanye West’s most recent outburst, a boisterous exchange with radio personality Sway Calloway, now weeks in the past, Queens rapper 50 Cent recently took some time to speak on the G.O.O.D. Music emcee’s series of rants and his outburst with Sway.
50 Cent commented on Kanye during an interview with DJ Whoo Kid and expressed his confusion at what Ye’s rants are meant to help with. The Queens wordsmith also compared Kanye’s struggle with the fashion world to that of Lil Wayne and his desire to break into the skateboarding niche.
“I don’t know how that helps,” Fifty says. “The problem—like what he’s talking about it doesn’t make any—communication with Sway is not gonna adjust that…Look, the same way they didn’t embrace Wayne immediately in skateboard culture. Cause this is something that’s niche. The people that do it, do it. So, they’re passionate about it and they’re like ‘Wait, you’re trying to look like us.’ You know what I’m saying? So, they don’t wanna embrace it at first and then they see that he’s actually into it. The man gotta ramp at his house.”
Later in the interview, 50 Cent revealed his plans to release his Animal Ambition project, which he says is too high grade to be considered a mixtape, in January.
“I’mma drop it in January. It’s a full body of work,” said the rapper. “I wouldn’t call it a mixtape because it’s a higher grade than the material that I put out on a mixtape…I had [backed] on so many songs that was album quality songs that I’mma put the Animal project out as my viral marketing [campaign].”
Prior to speaking on Kanye and Animal Ambition, Fifty recalled meeting the late Nelson Mandela in South Africa in 2008, an encounter the rapper says he considered a “groupie moment.” 50 Cent’s conversation on Mandela would later lead to the Queens emcee speaking on the inability of fans to decipher between a star and a celebrity.
“I had a groupie moment,” said 50 Cent. “Yeah, I was. You know what I mean? It’s because [you’ve heard] about the actual stories, but it’s not really real to you. It’s like—it’s why people are so excited about us when we traveling around the world. It’s because you from America. They don’t feel like that they would actually see you…Reality television [has] desensitized people to the point where they don’t know the difference between a star and a celebrity.”
Although 50 Cent did not reveal an exact date for Animal Ambition, the project will be followed by the release of his next studio album, Street King Immortal. Announced well over a year ago, Street King Immortal has been hit with numerous delays, delays 50 Cent says were due to recent staff changes at Interscope Records.
“[Interscope Records has had] a lot of staff changes, a lot of different people moving in and moving out,” said the rapper during an interview in July. “I’ve been on a team where I take the ball out and throw myself the alley-oop, and I take the ball out and shoot the three-pointer myself, and I take the ball out and I dunk the ball.”

50 actually made jay-z fake his own retirement!
I for one look forward to his new ish, have you heard the tracks he has been featured on?!? He has grown considerably. He knows what people think of him and he will break out of the stereotype everyone in rap placed him in.
Nas said it himself, if Fif can rap about more then guns and hood shit like he did before GRODT then he can be a true king of New York

real talk from curtis 50 cent jackson once again
RAPPERS SINGERS ACTERS SOME PPL IN SPORTS AND NABORHHOODS PUT HITS ON PPL AND THE NEWS IS FAKE THE NEWS AND RAPPERS LIE NONE STOP AN PUT HITS ON PPL WITH COPS COPS ARE HIT MEN PEOPLE AFTER U PPL
Not a fan of Curtis or anyone for that matter, till, he is one of the few who is honest about this Kanye buffoon-throwing tantrums for what? That Nike fiasco, fake frustration b.s. new slaves, wanna be black militant with a white wife bullshit all that came to an end when he bowed down and apologized.
Why does HipHopDX keep doing articles on irrelevant rappers instead of giving us articles from the thousands of rappers who are releasing albums and mixtapes and touring the country?
Can we please get articles from Indie artists who deserve recognition instead of rappers who dont even make music any more?
I know that is you BruthaDee I can tell by the space between your sentences! you have been hating on our Godfather for years butthurt asshole.
this is the same site that reports on miley cyrus and kim kardashians marriage proposal
50 articles bring all the dumb blonde trolls out, his fan base attracts the worst of the worst.
I noticed that too, his online fan base always talk homo stuff and try to hold personal off topic convos, no other fans act like that except maybe Hopsin and Riff Raff.
Anybody notice that Fifty is only relevant when he is talking about somebody else?
He is only relevant on HipHopDX, none of the major HipHop sites waste time on him.
ive seen 3 articles on AHH this week alone
ja rule, camron, fat joe, jadakiss, game, 50 Cents
all platinum selling artists that cant even go gold after 50 helped NY Rap go down the shit hole.
nobody takes 50 seriously anymore after he got his career murked by ja rule.
No one ever took him serious he was just another rapper that came and went, kinda like
MC Hammer. “How to Rob” and the name 50 Cent was a cool gimmick but got old quick.
Fiddy seems like the type of guy to be friendly to me and not mean like Lord Jamar or Nas, Fiddy would buy me a milkshake and sing a hook for me.
okay BruthaDee
Sorry shithead Im not your butt buddy.
Game destroyed 50s career and now Game drops music while 50 talks about Kanye.
You bloody Americans still support this wanker after he gives you crummy pop music? Thats why you fat hamburger eating trollups have a horrid economy and are loathsome. Your barbaric football and homeless population are keen examples of your decaying society. Now you have queer rappers you bloody bimbos.
hamburgers for life yo
so how does 50 cent relate to hamburgers, homelessness and a bad economy? you english faggots think you’re so damn smart dontcha?
The 50 Troll is sad today.
whats your excuse for being a lonely troll?
I didnt say I was lonely I said I was sad today but I feel better now that I have someone to talk to.
okay BruthaDee
hopefully one day you’ll act your age
Translation = Trained monkey please promote my Twitter
LMBAO
At least Gucci is a real street nigga.
Fake niggas:
* Nas never sold drugs. Remember when Jay-Z said “i showed you your first tech at Large professors tour”
* Mobb Deep were at the school of arts. So when did they there robberies and shootouts????????
* Ice Cube never was a gangbanger and was bullied at school according to his old forgotten homies.
* Jay-Z has ZERO respect in the streets, just ask Cam’ron!
* 2Pac never sold drugs. Suge Knight was the muscles behind 2pac because without him 2pac was a coward.
* Eminem never killed someone or was a serial killer. His image was made up by Interscipe Records to sell records. Lol the angry frustrated white kid.
* Snoop has NO respect out in LA and was never a gangmember.
* T.I. is a snitch how can you get away with housearest for illegal weapons without snitching? Normally you 10 years!
If T.I. snitched then who did he snitch on?

Why? Because he ain’t hip-hop. Niggas in the streets listen to real shit like Benzino, M.O.P., Kool G Rap etc. Street niggas are waiting on that new Benzino record, and don’t give a fuck about Eminem!
