Although 50 Cent and other Power cast members are still mourning the death of crew mate Pedro Jimenez, the Hip Hop heavyweight is already back to business. On Tuesday (December 11), 50 revealed to his 21.5 million Instagram followers he’d been in the studio earlier this week with longtime associate Eminem and pop star Ed Sheeran.
“I recorded a song last night with Eminem and ED Sheeran,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself. “I had fun doing it we got some heat.”
50 and Em have collaborated on numerous cuts in the past, including 2003’s “Don’t Push Me” from 50’s seminal Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ album.
The Sheeran connection also makes sense. The British crooner contributed to Shady’s Revival album on the track “River.”
With 50 so focused on his acting career, it’s seemingly left little time for music. The veteran rapper released a full-length studio in 2014 Animal Ambition and followed up with The Kanan Tape in 2015. He also had plans to drop another project called Street King Immortal, which has become more like folklore at this point. The album was scheduled to be released back in 2011 — and his fans are still waiting.
Get my farts ready
what bs. We cant get a 50 Cent & Primo banger but we get a 50 cent,eminem, and ed sheerhan collab. Who the hell wants to hear this? if hiphop is dead it’s cause our heroes let us down
Does it look like rap is charity? Do you live under a rock? If the answer is no to both questions then you know damn well hip hop ”heads” aint payin for no music, rappers are businessmen.
Artists make their money through streams these days, but it would be cool of the guys who got filthy rich off of true hiphop, would be more about hiphop than making radio pop hits for money.
Exactly! Its not like they won’t make money. But 50s ego and maybe em since he cant leave the pop arena ever now wont allow him to drop a classic hiphop album w low numbers..hed rather do a pop album w a mill and brag on ig
50 Cent will always be a millionaire till the day he dies. He can afford to make some real hard music that might not sell as much as pop crap but will be timeless.
Ed sheeran? Yeah, like we need another radio rap single… Cmon. Do 50, with schoolboy Q some other gangster rappers. Eminem is overrated these days. In his prime, he was top 5. Today, I don’t wanna hear his robot flow crap.
Eminem bodied people like you on Kamikaze stfu
Yeah but to do that he had to release the wackest album of the year before
Only stans get offended at the fact that Eminem is not making music as good as he used to. It’s true. I mean, can u honestly tell me Eminem is making music as good as he used to? If you say yes, then your lying, or your just a STAN. Kamikaze is overrated for sure. Last great Eminem album was over a decade ago.
that song he did with Schoolboy Q was a banger! cant believe they didnt put it on the album
bs x 3
“With 50 so focused on his acting career, it’s seemingly left little time for music.” Becaise nobodies ever acted And put out an album right….
50 should do a track with Game produced by Scott storch.
I wanna hear 50 and Griselda on some songs
show me the money!
Ed Sheeran?…….lame as fuck smfh.
Is this the same guy that wasn’t allowed to have 21 questions on his debut album
If you seeking a Scratch DJ with Experience and loves music. E-mail me. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Might help if you added an email address RETARD!
The irony in calling him a retard when you cant spell idiot right.
Featuring Ed sheeran, so you know it’s gonna be soft! Smh. Damn why can’t they come out with some hard shit! Last time 50 and Em came together they did that song “my life” another soft ass singing song.. They need to stop letting Em decide the hooks!
People like the soft shit…get over it …cuz you aint hard either…smfh
Ed’s made hard songs before. Listen to ‘Make It Rain”. And listen to ‘You Need Me, I Dont Need You’ annnndddd ‘Dont” and ‘Take It Back’
Oh man what em should really do is make a song about relationships.
Gonna be pop shit. U already know it. Too bad Slim n 50 cant give the fans a hard track.
Ill put money in the song 50 says ‘ lemme see u work it work it go down low’ atleast once.. 50s pop songs r usually terrible and im a 50 fan
Idk if i ever heard a 50 song w a pop artist that didnt sound forced and corny..em has the same issue w pop artists alot
Who cares….
Why are old school rappers so focused on selling out? Even a legend like Nas made some straight up garbage. Jay-Z sold out like a decade ago. Big boi put out a mumble/edm album. Why can’t hiphop have marquee acts like The Rolling Stones or U-2 that age well?
I thought 50 fell off but compared to all the garbage out nowadays he’s been releasing nothing but fire lately and I’m looking forward to an album similar to Kamikaze where he responds to everyone saying that he no longer go it…
