Detroit rapper Eminem was one of a handful of artists G-Unit emcee 50 Cent discussed during a recent interview with musician and radio personality DJ Drama. While speaking with Drama, 50 offered his praise for Eminem and even referred to the artist as someone who has made a substantial impact in Hip Hop.
The topic of Eminem was discussed as 50 Cent gave credit to Em for building up excitement among fans for his upcoming album, Animal Ambition.
“The reason why everyone was so excited about the 50 Cent project was [because] Em was excited about it,” he said. “And doing 22 million records on the Marshall Mathers album. You know what I mean? There’s no equal. What he means to our culture is crazy. He never gets the actual credit for it because they’ll look at him and make excuses. They’ll say ‘Oh, it’s cause he’s white.’ Yeah, it might have something to do with it. But he’s actually better than black artists.”
Another artist 50 Cent spoke on during his interview with Drama was fellow New York City emcee Troy Ave. 50 shared his praise for Troy as well, but did offer a brief critique of the rapper’s New York City: The Album record, “Show Me Love.”
The song samples 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” and according to 50, he’s more impressed when Troy creates records of his own.
“I like it when you see an artist that has been influenced by the music that’s there,” 50 Cent said. “A lot of the melodies and the stuff that he actually—his choices. I really like when I hear something from him. When I hear something that was his idea that comes out. And I go ‘Oh shit.’
“That was cool. That was cool, but I hear me on the record at the same time,” he added, when asked about Troy Ave’s “Show Me Love.” “So, I’m like ‘Oh, alright.’ But that’s [him] getting into the groove…This was a mixtape. So, to take something that you thought was cool and melodies off of and go ahead and do it it’s cool to do that. We rewrite verses. The artist that did it the first time really worked. Or really that creative energy came from them. And we doing it over a new way with new lines. And you be like ‘He killed it.’ But it still wasn’t his from the very beginning.”
50 Cent also addressed the status of G-Unit, which he says is intact, but isn’t benefitting from the actions of its members.
“They don’t do what they’re supposed to do with the actual money or the decisions that they make,” the rapper said. “You know what they say when they’re in trouble? ‘I’m a grown ass man. I can do what I want to do’…It’s not like I owe someone. If they tell me I owe ‘em I pay ‘em right now. Anybody that tell you I owe ‘em…I kinda saw Banks as if he wanted his independence. And I’m fine with that. They’re supposed to grow until they’re not around me anymore. Til they’re their own animal.”
In February of this year, G-Unit member Tony Yayo informed fans that the group was no longer together. According to AllHipHop.com, Yayo left the following caption under a picture he posted on Instagram: “to much stress i flew the world already dropped an album time to try new things and the unit not together fuck it.”

Troy Ave is garbage. I have given him loads of chances and listened to all his projects and nothing impressed me at all
Show me LOVE!
troy ave is nice man
“Generic, basic ass, gutter NY trash”, maybe, but not garbage. I’d place him up there with Maino, Uncle Murda, Saigon, and Papoose.
@Tha Lowest Of Tha Low: papoose & saigon? your not showing me love -_-
nigga said Uncle Murda
Howw you put Maino in the same sentece as Pap & Saigon?? Both would rapp circles around that loser
Joell Ortiz > all them other niggas I named
Just saying.
50 Cent’s starting to turn into that old man on the front porch just talking and talking and talking about how it used to be vs how it is now.
It’s funny and fishy how this is the only website that is on his jock. Payola?
This isnt the only website on his jock I saw this interview on 2-3 other hip-hop websites a few days ago.
I listened to this interview on Saturday, it was on RapRadar and HotNewHipHop.
Troy Ave reminds me of 50, he just doesn’t have 50’s story
its more than that he doesnt have
50 is yesterday’s news/music. No amount of dropping names or gossiping will bring you back to yesterday’s level 50. Enjoy your money and know your spot.

UPDATE: 50 also explains what type of toilet paper he uses and why he is “actually” misunderstood and is a decent human being underneath that “hardened exterior”
funny how you still click on anything that has his name in it
50 is an idiot…this guy should be a cashier at walmart or somethin
u mad he could buy your life a million times over and he didnt even finish high school?
You’re probably referring to a different 50 Cent,not one Curtis Jackson
troy ave is zzzzz
The reason why 50 is on all the websites and blogs is for promo. He has an album coming out. Use your heads
Fif is the truth.
Now that’s a lie.
what excitement is he referring to?….nobody but his Stans are checking for this shit….bruh has burned alot of bridges with his “a female scorned-like” comments and bitch-like actions….this album will fail, like everything since the song with the Audio 2 sample….
Fifs a greazy nigga. How you speak on and treat family like that. Banks and Yay woulda dug holes and put bodies in the ground for 50 on the strength of friendship and family. Same niggas that strapped up when them boys left his ass bleeding in the street. The more time goes on the more them flaws in 50.
“Aint shit in the world deeper then loyalty and love”
fuck happened to that nigga
He didn’t question it.. He said it was cool to do that… Danielle Harling writting missleading titles to generate hate around the Boss. and I’m not talkin about fat boy.
Exactly, that’s why this site is a joke. Trying to sensationalize every little fucking thing.
The god is speaking

“Theyll say Oh, its cause hes white. Yeah, it might have something to do with it. But hes actually better than black artists.”
Spoken like a true C00N.
Em is one of the best ever, bruh. I don’t know too many people that would argue that.
50 should be happy some1 wants to use anything from him at this point lol

Ever notice how much 50 uses the words “Relevant” and “Actual” in his interviews?
That new single is tuff tho #SMOKE
He says actual a 100 times every interview. Nothing new.
Why is this dude still Living in the past? How come no one samples any of this douche shit apart from his first 2 albums? Thats 2003-2006. The Curtis album was a pop tart album. At this stage; this dude gotta be happy anyone is sampling his shit. At least that makes him slightly relevant.
Everybody is a dickrider or hater… smh
1. Dickriders: “50 Cent is the best rapper, he is a god.”
^
Why do you delusional people think he is that good?
2. Haters:
“50 fell off. I’m so glad he is not popular anymore. I wish death on him”
^
Why do you hate him so much?
I’d rather wish this nigga death than lick his nuts like he a God
a weak rapper used another weak rapper’s shit. fake recognize fake
The title of this article is misleading. Stop trying to create beef DX
fiddy about to start bucking niqqaz lol

50 Cent enjoy the taste of white dick in his mouth more than any other rapper I can remember.
Em fans are what made this monkey so big in the first place because he was Ems flagship artist, I mean Em is so huge he was able to help those D12 bums go platinum a couple times and even helped Royce go Gold. Without Em this monkey would be Uncle Murda.
without your mom you wouldnt be on the internet hating on 50 cent
Stop hating on my hero you Butthurt butthole.
bruthadee everyone, the 40 year old rik rozz groupie who never heard of nail clippers
50 Cent is just getting ready to start killing every thing he is just a smart business man and he is the only rapper to have two albums go Diamond that mean they went over 10 million sold twice so to everybody be hating on him is that he is better then every body
Those sold 8 million domestically and didn’t go diamond until way after the fact.
