50 Cent Says Face Tattoos Aren’t Gangster

    During a “Gangster or Not” segment on the Russ Parr Morning Show, 50 Cent says that face tattoos are not gangster.

    “I will never agree with that,” 50 Cent says. “I don’t think it’s gangster at all. You should already have life in the penitentiary before you start tattooing on your face — or, be like a real heavy metal artist — no parol, nothing in your life that you will ever need a job.”

    Nonetheless, 50 Cent has several tattoos and realizes their significance to the overall culture. 

    “Tattoo culture has always been a part of Hip Hop culture,” 50 Cent says. “It hasn’t been as excessive as it has been now. You gotta think. When I came in in ’03, my back piece was the only back piece in the culture you could make note of outside of ‘Boomer’ on DMX back, the dog face. It’s grown so much since then that when I see them tattoo every inch and all over your body, it’s like, I didn’t want to turn into a comic book. I didn’t want to look a comic book.”

    50 Cent is also selective about how women’s tattoos look.

    “If she look like she got her tattoo in the jailhouse, you know this could get rough,” he says. “It could get interesting.”

    Images of 50 Cent’s and DMX’s back tattoos are as follows:

    1. 50 mad because gucci ended his career. His tattoo has more talent than 50 does in his body. Gucci kills people without hesitation while 50 never killed anyone but instead snitched.

      Gucci realer than 50.

      1. Gucci throws bitches out of the car while 50 gets rejected by women. Gucci now out there making banging music.

    2. WOOO 50 looking so fucking fine I wish my favorite rapper cared about his body and health I just pretend he’s a girl when he has his shirt off with those tittys bouncing.

    3. Sheesh this guy has invested a lot of money into his media blitz for Animated Ambition but sadly more people are talking about this type of garbage instead of his music.

    4. Since I don’t spend my time looking at niggas’ bodies, this is the first time I’ve seen a tattoo on DMX’s back.

    6. This tough guy has been charged by both Baby Moms as an abusive prick, it isnt gangsta to hit on girls.

    7. HHDX is the worst HipHop site ever. Some fool at the Head Office has collected $$$ from Curtis to promote n reports news about him. Just found out the idiots Cursing the shit outta anyone who doesnt agree with Curtis Jackson’s view on the comments section are actually HHDX staff. Tracked down the idiots with their IP address. Stupid retards.

      1. lol ol reachin ass nikka, stop acting like a fuckin computer technician, you probably don’t even what phuk an ip address is

      2. @Divine Allah,sure i am a Ol reaching ass nikka, Ur moms was reaching for support with my dick in her mouth. I was fucking the Shiite Outta her last nite. U fucking Curry Nigga. Go listen to ur Punjab music Faggot. Leave HipHop to us Black folks

      3. every website out here gets money from a label to channel an artists’ promotion

        I’ve been saying for a while that the often/alot comments come from dx staff, those are the famous trolls who are moderators so you ain’t saying nothing new

        but you damn sure know nothing about the business

        donnis mac

      1. Ross said NEVER because they have vastly different philosophies on how to treat the people around them.

        Game said HELL YEAH lets do it so I can diss you again 6 months later after the hype wears off and the new sales spikes drop.

        50 said no because he cant maintain any type of normal functioning relationship business or personal.

    8. WHAT IS GANGSTA THESE DAYS? I DONT KNOW.BUT…

      Is it GANGSTA to beat up on ur baby mama?

      Is it GANGSTA to abuse your son?

      Is it GANGSTA to burn down ur Baby mama house?

      DONT KNOW WHAT GANGSTA IS BUT THESE ABOVE SHIT AINT GANGSTA.

      1. when did he abuse his son? where them pictures and court papers?

        You sound like the other guy I sh-tted on in that article when he said his son has a fear of him because your parents don’t give a flying f-ck about you and don’t care about what you do, you don’t feel a type of way when you fail or betray their trust

    10. the hhdx news room must have been a madhouse today with both him and lord jamar giving their opinions on irrelevant shit

    11. 50 cent is just not poppin right now because hiphops fanbase has been brainwashed by imposter “gangster” artists. i dont even need to name any names, you already know. He lost all of his steam when he bartered the rest of his career on the sales of Kanye West’s Graduation, and lost. 50 still has the streets, and could come back. I hope he gets the producers around him that bring back that hard NY hip hop shit boy

    12. rick ross said he wasn’t talking no more about you ….what did this fool do ….get on the breakfast club talking more garbage juice ….

      1. Ross said he wasnt talkin bout him no more after mentioning him on his new album.

        Ross dissed a man he never met in his life over a bad look at an award show. LOL groupie ass nigga was a 50 fan and got upset he couldn’t get his GRODT cd signed.

      2. I can admit he has a few good songs…but a fan n—ga beat it….it dick riding n–ga like you that’s the problem…

      1. LOL ARE YOU SERIOUS??? LOLOLO

        this shit sound like 2010 Dre when kush was just surfacing. GTFOH smoke sounds nothing like the song of the year

    13. We don’t deal wit no danm fake motherfucker like gusto=officer ricky.i only respect meek after dat they all cb4 niggas

    14. The god is talking y’all need to listen.50 will destroy officer ricky the end of this year mark my word

      1. she has a manly-ass face, don’t care how good her body is. Fiddy should’ve scored with someone waaaaaay hotter.

      2. doubt that, have a walk through Tokyo or Buenos Aires. waaaaaaaaaaaay hotter girls there than any bitch in America haha.

    15. is this nigga “actually” tryna take credit for being the “first nigga with a back tattoo”? lmao what a lame nikka

    16. Rik Rozz has dead slave masters tatted on his titties and another man’s government name tatted on his hands that he has to look at every time he touches his wang.

    17. I want this son of a bitch 50 dead. I want him dead, I want his house burned to the ground, I want his family raped, killed quartered and thrown in the sea.

    18. Saying 50 Cent ‘isnt Hip-Hop’ or ‘ruined Hip-Hop’ is fuckin’ ridiculous. 50 Cent is the epitome of Hip-Hop, and this is coming from someone who came up in the so-called golden age. He is a real MC, and one of the LAST real East Coast MCs that understands the balance between being street and having fun and having a sense of humor. I had a feeling something was wrong with him though. A telltale sign of someone being sick is when they start giving their fortune away. I’m not saying it wasn’t sincere, but 50 gave alot of money to african countries in the past two years and has been talking about his own demise a lot. I wish you well Fif. Hip-Hop needs you more than ever, even though these ungrateful fucks don’t understand right now.

      1. if you dont like fiddy why do you keep leaving so many comments on his news articles and songs? seems unhealthy.

      2. That was before this article…right now im only replying…when im done …i will not support him..believe that …you support him

    19. Its not about listening to rick ross or not…This fool starts way to much drama….Negativity Breeds Negativity ….Dig

      1. what negativity he start though? niggas usually start it with him then try to say he the bully. ja and irv were trying to black ball him out of rap, rick ross dissed him for no reason,.. cmon son

      2. brah you have left 14 comments on this article alone that i can see all hating on 50 cent, whats going on with your life man, you seem sad and lonely.

      3. If have not realized he start ish to sell records ….you have lost it…when he start drama you know he has a new record coming out…when cats stop talking he does not know how to do the same…just like a female

    20. Ross played the shit out of this Uncle Tom , Ross was just another regional rapper with 1 hit song but after his beef with 50 he turned into a mogul with his own label filled with artists. Thanks 50.

      50 said “fuck the streets” I’m going to appeal to my white fans with skits, cartoons, babysitting, tricking and circus antics while his rival Ross dropped song after song appealing to the streets and the music fans so when the dust settled Ross dropped 3 albums and Curtis got dropped from Interscope.

      1. what are you saying 4 comments..all together…before…this page…and these are reply’s from others…ignorant n–gas

    21. GODDAMN, THE SNITCH MUST BE PAYING HHDX TO POST ALL THESE ARTICLES ON HIM. THIS IS THE 20TH ARTICLE ON FIF IN ONE WEEK. FUCK OUTTA HERE!

      #WESTCOAST

      1. co-sign one hunnid, WTF is going on here?!?!?!, this site has gotten progressively worse over the past 3 or 4 years, occassionaly youll come upon a legit article, but for the most part they cater to the lowest common denominator.

    22. I don’t give a fuck if a rapper has face tattoo’s, as long as he can rip the fucking microphone! But the day one of my favorite rappers wears a dress or a skirt im bailin’ on em though! haha

      1. i hope you dont listen to diddy, kanye west, lil wayne, young thug, asap rocky, kid cudi, or 2 chainz. all confirmed skirt/dress wearers.

    23. Am I the only one who thought Game’s butterfly was kinda ill? Or at least much better than that LA in the star?

      1. yes you are the only one who thought a butterfly on the side of a grown mans face was “ill”.

    24. big gucci is a true gangster he will kill niggas with out remorse real nigga shit.

    25. 50 Cent is irrelevant. He sold 0 copies at the local Best buy even it was offered only 50 cents. Gucci mane sold 10 billion copies in one second for all his CDs and won 500 grammys in his lifetime. Y’all better praise Gucci as the best rapper of all time.

      It’s Gucci Time!

    26. Gangster? Who cares?

      I listen to Drake, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Lil Wayne to get more girls *blinks*

      Fuck 50 Cent

    27. The new thing will be niguhs shagging with a thong showing, watch its coming! Colorful thongs coming to a video or street near you. Underneath their baby dresses, this hip hop shit is get weird and bad.

    28. Yo 50 getting a protection restraining order against MURDA INC is also NOT gangsta. You wanksta!

      I was wondering why you never dissed Gucci? Are you afraid to face a real nigga like Gucci because Gucci aint nothing to fuck with.

      1. i fucks with gucci free gucci! but fif in shape and boxes with boxers. i saw the vid of gucci in the mall he dont look like a fighter. and his life was on the line you supposed to defend yourself. that is the only time thats ok. but gucci aint respond to ol boy from la that accepted his fade when he was calling out pussy rappers or waka

    29. Come on! HipHopDX is blatantly posting 50 Cent headlines just to get clicks because these articles are pointless. Journalism left this site years ago. Smh

    30. dat true fiddy, i seen a niqqa at dis spot da otha nite wit a face tatto and i no he wasnt no real g! i just waved my gat at him so he walk away and i dont hav to c dat shit hahaha smh, den my homie smacked him in da cheek rite were da tatoo was at.

      1. how yall gona say im lyeing???? smh yall dony no my storie i really do be in these brik city streets. jus come around newark an ask 4 “ya big homie killa g money yallnoethedizzle” an i’ll happily wave my ak in yo punk ass faces. i runs game around here so im usually round 4000 niqqas deep in tha blok nah mean? so bring yo army an we can war if u want. or i can also VS yo punk ass 1v1 in COD and i can kill ur ass there my biatch niqqa.

    31. C Murder had the Giant TRU tatoo across his back in 1996 and his album was platinum in 1998. 50 Cent didn’t have even a gold record at that point.

      1. read the quote again, no one saying it didnt exist but it wasnt known like 50s and dmx’s

        “my back piece was the only back piece in the culture you could make note of outside of Boomer “

    32. You know what isnt gangster? BEING A SNITCH LMFAO! Give this government RAT his piece of CHEESE and hell tell on his whole block! lmfao we see you 5.0!

      1. anyone will tell you getting tattoos removed hurts a hell of a lot more than getting them. so depending on the spot of the removed tattoos that is gangsta.

    33. i have no opinion on whether or not face tattoos are gangster but it’s a poor choice for a criminal IMO draws too much attention

      1. finally a real niqqa on this site, homie here knows the deal, anyone who really b in the hood knows you gotta draw as lil attention from yourself as possible, even a different hairstyle can have a niqqa matching the description. #hoodknowledge #streetteacher
