50 Cent says that former label boss Eminem is the most important Rap figure of the last decade or so.
“I think Eminem is more important to Hip Hop than people actually credit him for,” 50 Cent says during an interview with VIBE. “Just Black music in general… when it loses its color, artists and people that have been so invested in it, come into it, put their passion in it, and they actually become that good at it? That opens up doors, windows, everything.”
One artist 50 Cent says Emimem’s success benefited is Macklemore.
“It opens the door for a [Macklemore],” 50 says. “Those artists are really important to the growth of our actual culture. And if you see what Hip Hop has done for me, it’s allowed me to travel the world and to meet people from different walks and ethnicities, and allow[s] me to broaden my perspective on life, period. There’s nothing as beautiful as what can happen with Hip Hop music and culture.”
50 Cent announced today (February 20) that he and G-Unit Records have signed an exclusive worldwide distribution and services agreement with Caroline/Capitol/UMG.
Eminem released a statement regarding 50 Cent’s departure from Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. In his statement, Eminem addressed his friendship with 50 Cent and his role in the Queens, New York rapper’s career.
“Both myself and Shady Records are grateful to have had the chance to play a part in 50’s career,” Eminem says in a statement, according to Associated Press. “Shady simply would not be what it is without 50 Cent.”

TAKE ME BACK MARSHALL IM SORRY
You think Eminem is a boss? Dude, he’s under Dre, who is under Jimmy.
Eminem isn’t under Dre, Dre just took him under his wing, there’s a difference. Now they’re equally big names and Em/Dre are each doing their own thing, under Jimmy
you do know Eminem is a aftermath artist? he works for dre nuff said he not indie like 50 with a distribution deal or did you forget?
How many white cocks you gonna gurgle 50? you bit the white hand that fed you so take the L and quit eating ass.
what L em the label slave 50 just bossed his own career em took the L letting jimmy control shady records you don’t hear new artist shouting out shady trying to get a deal ahahah
Smart man, he knows white people are responsible for the success in his career so he makes it a point to rech out to us. Now I might actually buy his CD.
Give the guy a break, he had Eminem on a lead single and it flopped horribly so his days were numbered.
it didn’t flop it charted higher than most rap singles that year look it up then comeback ill wait………….
It charted so high and made him so HOT that his label decided to give him a release date.
50 laughed at Fat Joe for being on an Indie but now its okay for him to be on one.
its very different situations.
back then you needed a major label 360 deal if you wanted to get out there but things changed in 10 years. 50 has a better indie deal than most rappers signed to the majors, i guarantee that. he gonna be on his tech n9ne shit.
in honestly dont think eminem wants to be under aftermath.
This is perfect timing with the XXL cover, much respect to Jimmy, Dre, and Em for remaining loyal to each other and making history!
That indie money that’s what I’m talking about
Em is the greatest ever just from a casual standpoint.. dude conquered both underground and mainstream started from nothing. 100+ million records sold and countin one of the best lyricists we will ever see period ppl let the race card place a role in everything nowadays no matter what
Em is a boss, he got rich off this racist black prick.
He meant to say it benefited him and his carear. What has emiem done for the culture but come with this brand of commercialism since 2000. How many em fans are into hip hop?
Just payingd homage to real rap Gods!
“How many em fans are into hip hop?”
don’t be stupid, every decent rapper in hiphop is an em fan and would place him in their top 5 or 10 dead or alive
Wow biggest dumbass comment ive seen in a long time. I won’t even bother responding to OP.
Somebody needs to tell ETK that Shady Records is under Aftermath Entertainment and has been since its inception. Em don’t make money without splitting it with Dre (when it comes to music that is).
Took him under is wing? Lol u think niggaz doing shit for charity or something, this is about bread.
it’s why at this moment 50 is busy sucking off the machine!!!
wrong again bro there are albums that come out under shady but not aftermath for instance D12,slaughterhouse,yelawolf,obie trice etc which dre has nothing to do with shady is under interscope …ahdy/aftermath is a joint partnership between that operate sparately
This is what haPens when you attempt to break up Dipset.
Dipset broke themselves up, lol
man i was having this convo last night people seem to think his not as good as 2pac what people fail to understand is 2pac new he was going to die therefore done something no rapper or artiest has or ever will do agin . in saying that emenim is lyrically just as intense when his not dope out just being honest !!!
if it was for slim rap would have died along time ago!!!!
